British superstar Dua Lipa offered her highly anticipated first concert in Madrid last night as part of her new world tour, but it was much more than a simple show: it became an unforgettable event for the thousands of fans who packed the WiZink Center.

The artist surprised the audience with a moving tribute to Enrique Iglesias, performing a Spanish version of the classic "Héroe," one of the Madrid singer's greatest hits.

“Spain has always inspired me, and tonight I want to pay tribute to one of its most iconic artists,” Dua Lipa said in impeccable Spanish before launching into the song.

The gesture was met with thunderous applause and surprised screams. Social media quickly filled with videos and reactions, turning the tribute into a global trend under hashtags like #DuaLipaEnMadrid and #DuaCantaEnEspañol.

In addition to the tribute, the artist performed a medley of her greatest hits, including “Levitating,” “Don’t Start Now,” and new songs from her upcoming album. The show, with its dazzling visual production, demonstrated once again why Dua Lipa is considered one of the most powerful voices in pop today.

The singer's tour of Spain will continue with a second date in Barcelona this week, and she is expected to repeat a similar surprise.
