Watch: Dua Lipa gets emotional at night 1 of her Radical Optimism shows at Wembley Stadium
On Friday night (June 20) Dua Lipa made her debut at Wembley Stadium, something the capital born singer said she’d been waiting her whole life to do.
The Levitating hitmaker took to the west London venue’s stage the first of her two massive shows last night as part of her latest Radical Optimism tour.

Understandably the milestone show was an emotional night for the pop star with Dua taking a few moments across the show to take it all in.
In one bit, between songs, a choked up Dua held her arms to her head in awe of the Wembley Stadium crowd as she said it felt “really special” to be performing at the iconic venue.
She went on to reflect at how far she’s come from performing to intimate crowds to sell out stadiums.
