Shakira expressed her desire to collaborate with Dua Lipa
At the premiere of Lele Pons' podcast, the Colombian star praised the British star and confessed that she would like to make a song with her in Spanish
The pop music industry could be close to witnessing one of the most powerful unions in recent years. Shakira expressed her desire to make a musical collaboration with the British Dua Lipa.
The announcement was announced during the premiere of the Suite 205 podcast, hosted by Venezuelan content creator Lele Pons. During a relaxed chat between the two friends in Miami, Pons directly questioned the Barranquilla native about what her current dream duet would be.
"I would like Dua Lipa, I would love it. She speaks Spanish perfectly and she is incredible," responded the "Monotonía" singer, opening the door to a project that would unite the talent of Barranquilla with that of London.
This desire expressed by the Colombian is not fortuitous. There is an immediate precedent that cements the good relationship between both stars. In 2025, as part of her “Radical Optimism Tour”, Dua Lipa paid a surprising tribute to Shakira during her concert in Bogotá by performing in Spanish the classic “Pies descalzos, hombres blanco”.
At that time, Shakira used her social networks to express her excitement at seeing how music united her different worlds. Dua Lipa's response, also written in Spanish ("It was a beautiful night and I loved singing your song. I love you"), made clear the mutual admiration that could materialize today in the recording studio.
The interview also showed the most reflective and multifaceted side of the artist. When asked what dreams she still has to fulfill after achieving global success, Shakira surprised by revealing a hidden vocation.
“I would like to study medicine,” he confessed. The singer admitted that those close to her nickname her “empirical doctor” due to her constant habit of diagnosing ailments and recommending home treatments to her friends. “I had to be a doctor, I didn't have to be a singer,” he concluded with a laugh.
