Dua Lipa Celebrates GCSE Spanish Success During World Tour

Dua Lipa recently achieved a personal milestone by passing her GCSE Spanish exam, an accomplishment she proudly shared with her fans on social media. On October 13, 2025, the 30-year-old pop star announced her success via Instagram Stories, posting a collage that included a photo of her holding the examination certificate alongside her teacher. The news quickly garnered congratulations from fans, who expressed admiration for her dedication to education alongside her thriving music career.

Balancing Education and Music

While currently on her ‘Radical Optimism’ world tour, Dua Lipa’s commitment to personal growth is evident. She reportedly took online Spanish lessons to prepare for the exam. Celebrating her achievement, she performed a Spanish-language rendition of Enrique Iglesias’ classic hit “Hero” during a tour stop in Madrid, captivating the audience. This performance aligns with her tradition of paying tribute to local music icons during her shows, a practice she continued during the European leg of her tour, following similar gestures in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year.

Dua Lipa’s rise to fame began in 2016 with her UK and European tour, where she introduced hits like “Last Dance” and “Hotter than Hell.” Her breakthrough in the United States came with “Blow Your Mind,” leading to a notable performance on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon*.

Continuing Her Education Journey

In March 2024, Dua Lipa announced her third studio album, *Radical Optimism*, which was released on May 3. Featuring chart-topping tracks such as “Houdini,” “Training Season,” and “Illusion,” the album has further solidified her status in the global pop scene. Following the success of her previous album, *Future Nostalgia*, which she toured in 2022, Lipa continues to impress fans both on stage and off.

Fresh from her GCSE success, Dua Lipa is not resting on her laurels. She recently revealed her plans to pursue A-Level studies in Spanish. In a lively Instagram post, she shared a photo of her AQA Spanish A-Level Year 1 textbook, accompanied by the enthusiastic caption, “next, next, next!!!!”

As she headlines her largest tour yet, Dua Lipa wrapped up the U.S. leg with consecutive shows in Seattle. She is now preparing for the upcoming South American leg, set to commence in November 2025. Her ability to balance a demanding tour schedule while pursuing academic goals reflects a dedication that resonates with her audience and inspires countless fans around the world.
