Yasss! Dua Lipa Slays Austin City Limits, Wears Local Jersey, Preaches Love and Politics

Listen up, y'all. Dua Lipa just schooled Austin City Limits, and let me tell you, she was everything. She rocked those disco-infused club bangers, strutted her stuff onstage, and oh-yeah, rocked a University of Texas jersey like a boss. I mean, who doesn't love a good pandering to the local crowd, right?

"There was a big game and you guys won," she gushed to the Zilker Park crowd. You betcha, Texas trumped OU, and let's be real, everyone was dripping in burnt orange. Even our dear Brit.

"What do you think? See how alluring I am to all you guys?" she teased. Who doesn’t love a humble-bragging pop star?

But then, plot twist, she dropped "Be the One," and suddenly we were all feeling things. (Of course, she wore the No. 1 jersey, because why not?)

That’s the thing about pop — it might be engineered, but not the soul, baby. We’re nothing but the heart-shaped holes we leave behind.

"Are we ready to go to the moon?" Dua Lipa asked, before dropping "Levitating" and a fireworks spectacle.

Sure, the sound was crap, but hey, who cares when you’re in a dust storm and everyone’s mouthing along like zombies? Dua had her dancers, red lights, and a pulsating band — it was electric!

But Dua? She’s woke AF. She’s called out "genocide" in the Middle East, fought for LGBTQ rights, and blasted sexism. This gal ain’t just about the tunes, she’s about the message.

And let’s not forget, the roots of house music are all about partying in the shadows, on the fringes. Dua Lipa owns that spirit and runs with it. Get. It. Girl.
