Dua Lipa Performs ‘Radical Optimism’ Songs While Pulling Double Duty as ‘SNL’ Host & Musical Guest: Watch

Dua Lipa performed songs from her new album, "Radical Optimism," while pulling double duty as host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live."

In between her hilarious sketches (including a dissection of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s ongoing beef), the 28-year-old pop star performed two songs from her just-released third studio album, Radical Optimism. Lipa’s 11-track Radical Optimism — her first proper album since 2020’s Future Nostalgia — arrived Friday (May 3) and also features previously released singles “Houdini” and “Training Season.” The former debuted at No. It feels for lack of a better word — radically optimistic,” she previously told Billboard, before explaining the idea behind the album cover, which features the singer floating in a wide open ocean facing a shark fin.
