This past weekend, Dua Lipa surprised her audience during a concert in Melbourne by inviting Troye Sivan on stage to perform his track “Rush.” The performance took place as part of Lipa’s ongoing tour in Australia, specifically during her fourth show at Rod Laver Arena.

A Tribute to Local Talent

As she has done in previous shows, Lipa took a moment to express her appreciation for Australian artists. “So this next song in the set is different every night,” she shared with attendees, mentioning her tradition of featuring a song from a local artist. “And so tonight, I thought it would be a big mistake if I didn’t play one of my favourite, favourite artists who’s also a friend of mine,” she continued.

With that, she began the performance of “Rush,” which featured Sivan joining her unexpectedly on stage. The duet marked yet another highlight of her Australian leg of the tour. You can catch footage of the performance here.
