The Rare Oul’ Mountain Dua

Don’t go jumping…

aving just played to thousands of screaming fans at the 3Arena on Wednesday, model-turned-pretty-dang-great popster Dua Lipa took in the wonders of Wicklow.

The London-born, the chart-topping R&B artist told her 82.5m followers on Instagram that she was “exploring Ireland”.

And that meant visiting the Powerscourt Waterfall. And Glendalough. And having a run-in with some sheep as she drove up into the Wicklow Hills.

Now, if only we could have convinced her to shoot a video here.

The 26-year old singer/songwriter broke through with the Calvin Harris collaboration One Kiss in 2018, going on to win awards and top spots with the likes of Electricity (2019), Don’t Start Now (2019) and Levitating (2021), Lipa is the child of Kosovo Albanian parents, and is of Bosnian descent through her maternal grandmother.

Hence that funky-as-all-feck name. Get some Lipa service over here.
