Dua Lipa is officially a dual citizen! The “Levitating” singer finally gets to honor her Albanian heritage in the sweetest way!
Over the weekend, Lipa hit a big milestone with regards to the Southeast European country, and she took to Instagram to shout it from the rooftops — something she usually does when it comes to Albania.
Dua Lipa Awarded Albanian Citizenship By The President
On Sunday, the “One Kiss” singer shared the news on Instagram that she is now officially an Albanian citizen. He was awarded the highest honor by the country’s leaders, President Bajram Begaj and Mayor Erion Veliaj. For the occasion, Lipa looked her best in a blue maxi dress with a plaid design and flared sleeves.

The pretty midi dress features ruched detailing at the bust and mid-riff, as well as a chic neckline. She paired the gorgeous ensemble with a pair of white knee-high boots and accessorized with a chic knit bag also in white. The Grammy-winning artist styled her beautiful black hair into a simple, center-parted straight hairstyle, bouncing elegantly down her shoulders.
In a carousel of photos shared by the city’s newest Albanian, the 27-year-old happily and proudly signed the oath after it was read to him by the mayor. After she finished, cheers and applause erupted, and Lipa smiled proudly, signifying her joy at achieving this feat.
In the accompanying caption, he wrote, “???? Thank you President Bajram Begaj and Mayor @erionveliaj for this honor ~ getting my Albanian citizenship!!” Liao ended her post, adding, “faleminderit, po ndihem shume krenare ??❤️??,” which translates to “thank you, I feel very proud.”

What Is Dua Lipa’s Relationship With Albania?
Although the “Cold Heart” singer was born in London and is known globally as an English singer, her origins are from Albania as she was born to Kosovar-Albanian parents who fled the country due to conflict and political instability in the Balkans.
Despite leaving her home, Lipa has been instilled in her Albanian heritage by her parents, and this is evident in the way she proudly references her country of origin in her music, on social media, and even during interviews with the press.
The singer, who shares a close relationship with his family, founded the Sunny Hill Foundation with his father Dukagjin Lipa to help charities and financially support cultural events in Kosovo. He often goes to the country for family vacations from time to time.
Speaking about her shared heritage as Albanian and British, Lipa has often revealed that she believes she has the best of both worlds. He once said in an interview, “I feel very proud to be from both places, and I feel like I represent both places. In Kosovo, when you do something and you make this movement around the world, you immediately become an important person there.”

In August, Lipa was appointed Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo, and in November, she announced on social media that the last show of her Future Nostalgia tour will take place in Albania.
