The most important question of Dua Lipa’s never-ending Radical Optimism press cycle has been answered. No, it’s nothing about manifestation — it’s her favorite vacation spot! And leave it to two gay men (and former Vulture contributors), Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, to ask. The question came up during Lipa’s appearance on their podcast Las Culturistas. And no, to Rogers’s dismay, it’s not Epcot. “What is that, is that where Disney is?†Lipa responded when he suggested the theme park. Her real answer? “I think, like, south of Albania is, really,†she said. “Or Ibiza. I love Ibiza.†And you know the recommendation queen has some tips for your trip. “When I say Ibiza, people immediately think of, like, the one strip with all the clubs where it’s absolute carnage,†she said. “But you can do really peaceful, quiet. There’s amazing restaurants in Ibiza. It’s really chill, beautiful little beaches, little coves — it’s amazing. And then you can dip out once a week and go to DC10 and just rave. So you just need, it’s about balance.â€

And before you hit Lipa with a joke about how she would know because she’s always vacationing, she already clapped back during her “I Don’t Think So, Honey†segment on the pod. “I think you can work hard and play hard and not be, you know — I feel like no matter what, people are still going to call you the Vacanza queen,†Lipa declared, laughing. “And people think that I’m always on holiday — I’m actually not always on holiday, I’m actually always fucking working.†Rogers gets it. “When Dua Lipa goes on vacation, that is a tax write-off. That’s going into the work,†he chimed in. “You don’t have ‘Illusion’ if Dua doesn’t go on vacation, period!†And we’ll get to judge if that travel was worth it when Radical Optimism comes out on May 3.
