Dua Lipa has just kicked off the summer leg of her “Radical Optimism Tour,” which just made its stellar debut in Berlin. But before even starting the first show in the city, she was photographed looking bald, that’s according to one of her photos on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The picture shows the singer sitting down with a friend at a café. The part that stole the scene? The singer’s head seemingly appeared bald. Quickly, users started liking and reposting the photo, making fun of her. As if that wasn’t enough, they also cited that one of the reasons for her balding was the “poor” performance of her album, “Radical Optisim.”
Since Dua Lipa’s latest album has failed to achieve the same success as its predecessor, “Future Nostalgia,” some users are considering it “a flop.” Even though it debuted with respectable sales and chart positions in its first week, (No.1 in the UK with 46,300 units and No.2 in the US with 83,00) it has failed to remain atop of the charts.

While the singer has not been able to replicate the hits and sales from her previous record, one thing’s for sure: the album is far from being a complete failure. It marked the best opening week for a British female artist since Adele’s 30 in November 2021. It was also her first number-one debut in the United Kingdom, and she’s now promoting it through a tour with dates in Asia en Europe so far. A flop? We wouldn’t be so quick to call it that!
