Shakira has shared that she would like to collaborate with Dua Lipa in the future. The Colombian singer made the revelation during the first episode of Suite 305, a new Netflix podcast hosted by Lele Pons. When asked about the artist she would most like to work with, Shakira immediately named Dua Lipa. She praised the British singer for her strong vocals, musical talent and her ability to speak Spanish fluently.
The possibility of the two singers working together has caught the attention of fans because they have already shared a memorable connection in 2025. During her Radical Optimism Tour in Bogotá, Dua Lipa surprised the audience by performing Shakira’s famous song “Pies descalzos”. The performance was widely appreciated by fans. After the concert, Shakira thanked Dua Lipa on social media with a heartfelt message about how music can connect people from different parts of the world. Dua Lipa also replied with a warm message in Spanish, showing the mutual respect and admiration between the two artists.
During the podcast, Shakira also spoke about her personality and the way she approaches her work. She explained that she gives her full attention to every project she takes on and enjoys learning new things. The conversation also moved beyond music when Lele Pons asked if there was a dream she had not yet achieved. Shakira gave a light hearted answer, saying that if she had chosen a different career, she would have liked to become a doctor. She said that in another life she might have been working in a hospital instead of performing on some of the world’s biggest stages.

Shakira also shared that her close friends jokingly call her the “empirical doctor” because she often tries to identify health problems or give advice about medical issues. While she laughed about the nickname, it showed another side of her personality that many fans may not know.
Although there is no official announcement about a collaboration between Shakira and Dua Lipa, the singer’s comments have increased interest among fans. For now, audiences will have to wait and see whether the two global music stars will one day release a song together.
