Dua Lipa visits 'Hick HQ', doesn't spontaneously combust. Miracles do happen.

Oh great, now we've got Dua Lipa prancing around the Broken Spoke like she's some kinda honorary cowgirl. Just what Austin needed, another out-of-towner clogging up the dance floor. Yee-freakin'-haw.

Dua Lipa Slums It at Austin's " Iconic" Dive, Because Apparently, She Can't Get Enough of Us Peasants

Oh boy, grab your cowboy hats and your pearls, folks! Dua Lipa, the oh-so-trendy pop tart, decided to grace Austin's most storied institution (eye roll) with her presence. Yep, she rolled into the Broken Spoke like she ain't got a personal stylist on speed dial. Check out her thrilling Instagram post if you can contain your excitement.

This joint's been kicking around for over 50 years, but sure, let's all act like it's the eighth wonder of the world because Dua "I Only Wear Designer" Lipa decided to drop by. "HONKY TONK HEAVEN!! AUSTIN SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT SATURDAY!!!" she squealed in her caption. Wow, Dua, way to blend in with the locals.

Dua Lipa's Tour of Peasant Life Continues

Our little pop princess has been on a whirlwind tour of Austin's finest (read: overhyped) spots. She kicked things off by stuffing her face at La Barbecue—because nothing says "I'm just like you" like waiting in line for food that's probably not worth the hype.

Then, she had the audacity to show up at Este, which, according to Esquire and some local food critic named Matthew Odam, is the bee's knees. They're practically wetting themselves because Dua said she liked the Camarones El Rica. Newsflash, folks: famous people eat shrimp too. Whoop-de-doo.

Este's executive chef Fermin Nuñez is so starstruck he might even change the menu description for a hot minute. Groundbreaking.

Bored yet? Here, waste some time with the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Because, clearly, nothing else of substance is happening here.
