LISA is taking over Las Vegas. Her six-show VIVA LA LISA residency opens at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Nov. 12, and on the Therapuss podcast she told Jake Shane she had serious opening-night nerves until her 2026 MTV VMAs win for best pop and her“SaWaDiKa”performance fired her up. The lead single from her Press Play EP peaked at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100, and its title is a purposeful nod to her roots.
That comes straight from her time back home. LISA spent six or seven months in Thailand after living in Korea since she was 14, and she described the feeling simply:“It feels so good to be back home. Home there. Real home.”The song carries that homecoming energy into her biggest solo chapter yet.
Then there’s the Labubu saga. After being spotted with one on a luxury bag in 2024, she became a global trendsetter for the plush toys. Her collection started at a sold-out Pop Mart in Thailand where she bought an entire box, and now the plushies rule her living space.“I have no space to walk in my house,”she admitted. She also cited Britney Spears’“Toxic”and the Circus album as childhood favorites. So, which LISA era are you most hyped for: the Vegas show,“SaWaDiKa,”or the Labubu collection?
