Dua Lipa Is No Longer Just a Pop Star — She’s Going for an Oscar Next Dua Lipa very obviously does not sit still. Having conquered global music charts and, you know, soundtracked every summer since 2017, she has a new aim in mind — and it’s not just another platinum record. She has her sights set on the biggest prize in Hollywood: an Academy Award. Crazy? Maybe not. The British-Albanian singer recently turned her attention to acting, appearing in the action spy thriller Argylle opposite Henry Cavill. It was her first major role — and though the film received mixed reviews, Dua acquitted herself on screen. Now, sources tell us, she’s getting serious about treating acting like more than a side hustle. She’s already reading piles of scripts, apparently, in search of that magic role. You know the kind — emotional, gritty, dramatic. The kind of performance that commands Oscar voters to the collar and says Look here. The rumor is that she wants to be considered for real in Hollywood, not just another pop star trying her hand at acting. But here’s the twist — while she pursues a heavy, awardworthy role, there’s also talk of her guesting on the inevitable Reba.
Yep, that Reba — the warm and wacky sitcom starring the country legend Reba McEntire. “Dua’s been considering getting more serious about acting and the team behind Reba floated the idea of a guest appearance on the show with Dua,” a source told Life & Style. “The next season hasn’t begun filming, so they have some flexibility on bringing her in — perhaps even for a short cameo.” The concept isn’t as outlandish as it sounds. Reba recently confessed that she is a huge fan of Dua’s smash hit Don’t Start Now. Plus, let’s face it — seeing Reba and Dua Lipa in the same scene would be awkwardly iconic.
Even if it’s just a little guest turn it’s clever. Comedy on one side, earnest drama on the other. Clearly, Dua’s playing the long game — building range, stretching herself, proving that she’s more than just a summer hit maker with great moves and a killer wardrobe. she’s already had a quick cameo in Barbie, and she’s not exactly shy on screen. If anything, her presence in Argylle showed she’s got potential—and not just in a “she looks good on camera” kind of way. There’s something there, and it seems like she’s ready to dig deeper. Whether she ends up holding a golden statue one day or not, one thing’s clear: Dua Lipa isn’t just sticking to what she knows. She’s evolving—and honestly, watching that journey might be just as exciting as the roles she takes on.
