Overview

• President Vjosa Osmani formally granted citizenship by decree on July 31 during a ceremony at the Sunny Hill Festival, where a children’s choir serenaded Lipa with “Levitating.”
• The pop star headlined the opening night of the three-day festival she co-founded with her father in Pristina.
• Osmani praised Lipa as one of Kosovo’s most iconic cultural figures and underscored her enduring bond with the country.
• Lipa said the new passport “feels like my two sides are now one” and described it as completing the duality of her heritage.
• With this latest citizenship, she now holds passports from the UK, Albania (granted in 2022) and Kosovo, formalizing her tri-national identity and cultural ambassadorship.
