Dua Lipa Salutes Chile With Mon Laferte Cover After Buenos Aires Tributes

Her strategy of adding a locally beloved cover to each stop is fueling viral exchanges with Latin American artists.

Overview

  • Dua Lipa performed Tu falta de querer at Santiago’s Estadio Nacional on Nov. 11, introducing it as a song that breaks her heart and drawing a loud singalong.
  • Hours before the show, fan videos from outside soundcheck captured her rehearsing the Mon Laferte hit, tipping off the surprise and spreading quickly online.
  • Mon Laferte later posted “Dua Lipa, te amo” on X and shared clips of the performance, amplifying the tribute across social platforms.
  • In Buenos Aires on Nov. 7–8, Lipa covered Soda Stereo’s De música ligera and Miranda!’s Tu misterioso alguien; Miranda! said they were invited to join onstage but declined due to a prior Chile booking.
  • Her on-the-ground outreach also drew attention, from visiting La Bombonera, dining in Palermo, and touring MALBA to a fan-organized return of a phone lost at the first River show.
