Global music sensation Dua Lipa has officially cemented her profound connection to her heritage, receiving Kosovan citizenship in a deeply moving and celebratory ceremony.

This significant moment follows her recognition with Albanian citizenship in November 2022, underscoring her strong ties to the region of her ancestry.

Expressing immense gratitude, the global pop star shared her joy on social media, acknowledging President Vjosa Osmani for bestowing this distinct honor.

President Osmani herself celebrated the occasion, posting a heartfelt image with Lipa and emphasizing the “special honour” of granting citizenship to one of Kosovo’s most significant cultural icons.

Osmani further highlighted the nation’s endless gratitude for Lipa’s tireless efforts in promoting Kosovo, its youth, its art, and enhancing the country’s international recognition on the global stage.

The citizenship initiation was marked by a touching welcome, featuring a group of children serenading Lipa with her popular UK hit, “Levitating,” symbolizing the warmth and pride of the Kosovan people.

This latest recognition comes shortly after Lipa’s impactful appearance at Kosovo’s Sunny Hill Festival, an event she co-founded in 2018, where she performed a duet in Albanian with her father, further illustrating her deep cultural heritage.

The awarding of Kosovo citizenship to a figure of Lipa’s stature not only celebrates her individual journey but also casts a global spotlight on the nation, amplifying its presence within the music news landscape and cementing her status as a beloved music star.
