Dua Lipa was granted her Albanian citizenship by President Bajram Begaj and couldn’t be prouder as she shared the news with her millions of social media followers. 

The English singer arrived in the capital city Tirana today ahead of her concert that she will perform on the country’s Independence Day at Skanderbeg Square

Posting the life update to her 87.4million Instagram followers, the star beamed in a blue tartan patterned dress that she paired with white knee-high boots and bag to match. 

Dua was born and raised in London however her parents and family descended from Kosovo and Bosnia. 

In the gallery of photos, the New Rules singer shared a video of her signing documents in the presence of the country’s president and clapping with delight once the ceremonial process was complete.

Looking happy as can be, the hitmaker clutched a red binder folder and uploaded snaps of the Albanian capital as it geared up for celebrations with red flag bunting hanging above the road.
