Ladies and gentlemen, my first guest tonight is a three-time a Grammy Award-winning global superstar with hits like levitating cold heart and Houdini, please. Welcome back to the late show Dua Lipa Thanks Thanks so much for you know being here a little earlier and helping me, you know lie about the puppies to get him adopted Of course, did you we attempted to take one home? Yes. I've got my eye on. Oh good I think it was months in the last one Do you do you like animals you have a dog yourself? I do have a dog Yeah, oh really does he tour he or she tour with you? No, he's quite a big dog, but we try and take him Though it's a pretty it's a big big dog. Do you know what when we're in Europe in the UK? I think he'll be much easier. Okay. Yeah, he's back in London now back in London. All right This year you put out your third album radical optimism people were very excited about that naturally launched another world tour Just wrapped Your leg of Asia. Yeah, which is a very big place. Yes. Yes Very very to just say it's very big very large. Is that you enjoy being on tour? I do you do you like that? There's five weeks. Yeah, just you just go go go Like you don't know where you're waking up tomorrow, or you know where you're waking up tomorrow But do you know where you are when you wake up if you know what I mean? Really? Wait, what's it? I'm not I'm not too sure. It depends. It's like it's so High octane, you know when I'm when I'm on the road, it's like five weeks of just non-stop. What's the next place? What am I gonna do, but also figuring out a routine in every single place how many shows a week? Three to four three four beautiful shows a week Okay, quite a bit of travel in between but then I like to make sure that I go and do something touristy I'll go to a nice restaurant. I'll go and see you places. Well, that's nice So it's like a man the plane do the show back on the plane and off to the next play Get a little bit of time in some places do that though can't do a leaper just go out in town and kick it Yeah, really? Yeah, people don't bother do a leap. Oh, no, it's okay I mean sometimes somebody might come and say hello or whatever But for the most part, I think if you just do like I don't know Sometimes people bring on more attention when you make it a big deal About leaving the house or going out or doing something when you just go and you show up somewhere It's kind of much more chilled I guess it's it's worked for me in that way where I just like rock up somewhere unannounced and it's and it's actually fine So, okay, as I said, Asia is a big place. Do you have a favorite part of Asia? Gosh, everywhere. I went was really amazing and so unique and different you can name one. They're not no one's feelings They're gonna be hurt, but I really loved Bangkok. Oh, wow. I've never been I did. I really loved it I I've been I've been to all these places once before but Bangkok was the one city where the last time I came It was very much fly in do the show and fly out the next day So I spent the day in bed eating tom yum soup and then doing the show Whereas this time round I really had the opportunity to go and explore and see the place and I just absolutely fell in love with Tell me on Bangkok. I don't know. Well, it just has so much culture and The people are so lovely and the food is unbelievable. And if you like spicy food like me then what's tom yum soup? It's it's like it's it's um, I don't know how to explain it. It's a brothy soup With vegetables, it's quite spicy Sometimes there's shrimp in it and there's like lemongrass and it's really Warming and delicious. So there you are. You're you're in you're in bed. It's breakfast. You're having a little hot soup Yes to get you going for the day. What time did you go to bed the night before? I'm curious because after the adrenaline of the concert what how do you how do you calm down? Gosh, it takes me a really long time to come down from The adrenaline usually I'm up until about four o'clock in the morning Are you even if I'm exhausted and the concert came down or what midnight? No, the concert finishes probably around 10 p.m Because then are you in Asia? Well, yes You're going back to the club. I'm back in the club Wow back in the club because okay, let's say the show's like 8 8 30 most nights. Yes finish around 9 30 10 o'clock. Yeah, and then I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be up Tired but in bed not doing anything. So I might as well go and have a drink Yeah, yeah, and if you're too long, you're having a drink you might as well dance exactly so then if I'm drinking and I'm dancing and then that bar closes then maybe I could go to another place and carry on right because You're so thirsty from all the dancing that you know, they're drink exactly right and what so and you're going to better off What time are we getting up to Alipa? We're getting up. Actually, it's not too bad. It depends Probably like 10 you went to bed at 4. Yeah, that's not enough That's not enough to Alipa, but it's okay. It's good. It's it works. Okay me it works You've got so many great hits people love your music all around the world How is exciting is it for you to hear you music out in the wild? Like you just walking on the street and go into a store or something and you hear you it's very fun It's very exciting because you know why because I never listen to my own music Especially so once it comes out I don't listen to it unless I'm prepping for tour or for a performance or a show or something so that's when I kind of listen to something over and over or on a music video or When it's and when it's work-related like I take all the time in the world and then once it's out I don't really listen to it. So when I hear it out in the wild, I get very excited. Is that me? I was like, oh my god. What's the strangest place? You've heard your own music played back to you. Um Okay. So last time I was here in New York I I was I was in a car and Stuck in traffic. I can hear my song blaring from a little bit Further away, so I put the window down I can just see the car next to me windows down Blaring Houdini and I was like, wow, this is the best thing ever. I just got so excited. I just loved did you wait? I got nervous Oh Actually that just reminds me. Do you know what was funny was I am now? I'm thinking about weird places where I heard my music and I was in Austin, Texas and I was having lunch So fun, and I was having lunch by like this this like waterfront bar and This party boat just drives past or yeah drives past drives past whatever drives past drives past And it's blaring one kiss. They have no idea that I'm there and I was just like again It was one of those moments where I was like, oh, this is pretty fun Just like having the time of their life to one kiss. We have to take a quick break We'll be right back with more do a leaf everybody stick around
