Dua Lipa surprises fans as she covers pop classic 99 Luftballoons in ‘perfect’ German

She’s known for travelling around the world on almost a constant basis, but it seems all that culture has paid off for the pop icon.

Dua Lipa proved that her infamous holidaying has paid off after she pulled off an impressive live stunt for her German fans during one of her latest shows.

For every one of the stops on her Radical Optimism Tour, Lipa has been performing a cover of a song tied to that location, with her covering tracks from the likes of Enrique Iglesias and Daft Punk.

When she was wowing crowds in Australia she performed a whole host of pop classics from Aussie faves like Kylie Minogue and INXS.

But she looking like she’d even impressed herself after coming to the end of her latest cover, a pitch-perfect cover of German pop banger 99 Luftballoons.

Videos of the moment have since gone viral on TikTok, with fans sharing their surprise at how well Lipa sung in German.

“I’m German and there wasn’t a single pronunciation mistake,” remarked on fan on one of the viral TikTok videos of the moment from Lipa’s sellout show.

“The German version is the best version, Dua Lipa knows!” commented a second, with another adding: “No but that’s actually so impressive”.

Lipa celebrated the end of her eight-show sold out run in Australia last month with a laid back relax at Coogee Beach. She made sure to find the time to enjoy the sights having been spotted days earlier at Tamarama Beach, and also at Taronga Zoo.

Her shows Down Under proved to be a major success for the singer, who made sure to invite some of her showbiz pals up on stage with her to entertain the crowds, including Troye Sivan and Vance Joy.

Sadly for fans, Lipa’s hunky Hollywood actor boyfriend, Callum Masters, was nowhere to be seen while she dazzled fans. Instead, she has brought her younger brother Gijin along for the trip.

Lipa and Turner were first linked in January last year after the Houdini singer attended the premiere of the Apple TV+ show Masters of Air, in which Turner starred alongside Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan.
