\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDua Lipa made the 2024 ACL Fest even hotter.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Dallas has felt like the epicenter of pop music lately. In just the past two months,\u00a0The Weeknd\u00a0<\/a>made AT&T Stadium his own,\u00a0Tate McRae<\/a>\u00a0brought her first arena tour to American Airlines Center, and the Jonas Brothers<\/a> tore up Dos Equis Pavillion, bringing about the surprise reunion of Fifth Harmony (or fourth harmony, really) in the process.<\/p>\n

Next week, pop music continues its hot streak in the city as Dua Lipa brings her\u00a0Radical Optimism\u00a0world tour for a two-night run at the AAC on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. The tour comes a little over a year after the release of her studio album of the same name, marking her third full-length LP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little silly to call a massive pop star in the midst of an arena tour underrated or overlooked, but that feels like the sentiment on Lipa far too often. While her special brand of disco dance pop is undeniable, she\u2019s yet to inspire the cult of personality that\u2019s catapulted her contemporaries (Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, etc) ahead of her. Perhaps that\u2019s for the better, and maybe we should all agree to let music speak for itself more often. But until pop culture agrees on that, we can\u2019t help but feel Lipa isn\u2019t getting the full shine she deserves. <\/p>\n

Maybe her two-night stand in Dallas will change that, at least locally \u2014 the \u201cDon\u2019t Start Now\u201d singer is continuing the city\u2019s pop invasion with an immersive pop-up shop this weekend.<\/p>\n

The pop-up shop will be held at the Kettle Art Gallery <\/a>in Deep Ellum and is the fourth of six planned events in different cities on the tour. While an appearance isn\u2019t guaranteed, Lipa has made surprise appearances at other events throughout her tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Details about what we should expect are vague, but previous pop-ups<\/a> in Chicago, Atlanta and New York City featured exclusive merch, photo-ops, a drink bar featuring her signature viral jalapeno pickle Diet Coke<\/a>, and an immersive listening room where fans could literally \u201cstep inside\u201d the music of Radical Optimism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Admission to the pop-up at Kettle Art Gallery (2650 Main St.) is free. The shop will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 27 and 28.<\/p>\n
