Bu Cuarón Responds After Viral Backlash to Dua Lipa Mexico Opener

Her response frames the performance as a late-notice, first-time stadium set.

Overview

  • Bu and her brother Olmo opened Dua Lipa’s final Mexico City show at Estadio GNP Seguros on December 5.
  • Clips from the set spread on X, TikTok, and Instagram, drawing criticism over off-key moments, alleged booing, and claims of nepotism.
  • Bu posted a piano performance captioned “Escuché que les interesa cómo canto,” presenting her voice without added production.
  • She said the invitation was confirmed two days before, noted she arrived with jet lag, called it her first stadium, and wrote that she wants to improve.
  • She addressed comments about her Spanish pronunciation by citing her Italian heritage, as debate over her identity and the booking continued without public confirmation of who arranged it; Alfonso Cuarón publicly congratulated his children.
