Dua Lipa graduates in GCSE Spanish amid Radical Optimism tour
Dua Lipa has hit a new milestone, and this time, in the classroom. The 30-year-old pop sensation revealed via Instagram Stories on October 13, 2025, that she passed her GCSE Spanish exam while on her ‘Radical Optimism’ world tour. The singer reportedly took online lessons and celebrated the achievement with fans during her travels.
To mark the occasion, she performed a Spanish-language cover of Enrique Iglesias’ classic hit ‘Hero’ during her tour stop in Madrid, delighting the crowd. Known for honoring local music icons during her shows, Lipa continues that trend on the European leg of her tour, following similar tributes in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year.
Dua Lipa’s rise began in 2016 with a UK and European tour, where she debuted singles like “Last Dance” and the breakout hit “Hotter than Hell.” Her U.S. breakthrough followed with “Blow Your Mind,” leading to a performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In March 2024, she announced her third studio album, ‘Radical Optimism‘, which was released on May 3. Featuring chart-toppers like “Houdini,” “Training Season,” and “Illusion,” the album is her first since 2020’s Future Nostalgia, which she toured in 2022. The new release continues to solidify her global pop dominance.
Meanwhile, Dua Lipa continues to impress fans both on stage and off. Fresh off passing her GCSE Spanish exam, the pop star revealed she’s already diving into A-Level studies. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a photo of her AQA Spanish A-Level Year 1 textbook with the caption, “next, next, next!!!!” Currently headlining her biggest tour, ‘Radical Optimism’, Dua wrapped up the U.S. leg with back-to-back shows in Seattle. She’s now gearing up for the South American leg, set to begin in November 2025.
