Dua Lipa gives shout-out to ‘supportive parents’ in SNL monologue
Dua Lipa explained the meaning of 'Radical Optimism' during her 'Saturday Night Live' hosting gig
Dua Lipa thanked her parents for being "supportive" throughout her musical journey during the singer’s debut Saturday Night Live hosting stint.
The Albanian songstress hosted SNL for the first time on Saturday night, May 4, with her parents in the audience.
Before praising the couple for being by her side all the time and cheering for her, the One Kiss hitmaker shared a hilarious incident she encountered with her parents.
"As you can see they are kind of cool, they love to party," Lipa took a pause, "One night, I was out with my friends, and we ended up at a club at 3 o’clock in the morning and who do I bump into but my parents."
The audience burst into laughter, and then she continued, "Which was embarrassing because the last thing you wanna see when you are super high and drunk off your a** is your daughter."
The scene then cuts to her parents’ visuals on the screen who were enjoying, erupting into laughter with the crowd.
"But really, they have always been so supportive," the Levitating chart-topper added, "They let me move from Kosova to London when I was just 15 to start my career, and now my third album just dropped, and it’s called Radical Optimism."
In her SNL monologue, she explained the meaning of her latest album, released on Friday, May 3, as "looking on the bright side of any situation."
