British pop star Dua Lipa danced with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and sang with Leon Bridges during a recent show at American Airlines Center.
The singer, who has been touring her third studio album, Radical Optimism, rocked the Dallas arena for two nights.
On Tuesday, in a nod to North Texas’ own Kelly Clarkson, Dua Lipa performed the early-aughts breakup anthem “Since U Been Gone.”

Leon Bridges, a Fort Worth native, appeared at the Wednesday show. Dua Lipa praised him as “one of the most beautiful voices of our generation” before inviting him onstage for a duet of his song “Beyond,” according to a video clip he shared to his Instagram story.
She also waded into Cowboys Nation that night, donning the NFL team’s jersey and bringing out America’s Sweethearts. The high-energy routine saw the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders shaking their pom-poms and gliding across the stage as Dua Lipa sang her single “Physical.”
This isn’t the first time that Bridges or the cheerleaders have joined forces with a singer at an American Airlines Center concert. Last fall, both performed with East Texas native Kacey Musgraves during her tour stop in Dallas.
Ahead of Dua Lipa’s Dallas concerts, local fans were treated to a pop-up at Kettle Art Gallery, where merchandise and photo opportunities were available. It was one of six U.S. events spread throughout the tour.
