Singer Rita Ora recently shared insights into her journey as an immigrant, her ongoing concert tour, and personal reflections on family and career.
Ora, who is currently on tour, posted photos from Vienna expressing her gratitude to fans. "Thank you Vienna and Finland I CAN'T WAITTT to see you tonight @qstock_festival," she wrote on Instagram, accompanying the message with images of her performance attire, which included a pink and red lace bra top and a white lace skirt.
The artist spoke about her pride in her immigrant background, recalling her family's move from Kosovo to the UK when she was young. Her parents, a doctor and an economist, rebuilt their lives in London, with her father managing a pub and her mother retraining as a psychiatrist.
"All I know is I'm always grateful for the education I received and proud of being an immigrant," Ora stated in a recent interview. She added, "I think a lot of immigrants have a special energy: maybe a touch of imposter syndrome that makes them ready to improve themselves."
Beyond her music career, which includes working on her fourth album and reprising her role in "Descendants," Ora expressed interest in acting in films directed by her husband, Taika Waititi. "Absolutely. I'm surprised it has taken this long! It all has to be about the script, the story and it just has to make sense but that is one of our dreams," she said.
Ora also touched on her personal life, including preparations for potential future family expansion. She revealed that she froze her eggs twice in her twenties, at ages 24 and 27. "It was actually the best advice, because now I'm in my mid-thirties and I have a lot of friends really trying to figure it out. It will just be more of an expansion when the time comes," she explained. She has also been educating herself on menopause, inspired partly by her mother's experience with early menopause during breast cancer treatment and by conversations with Davina McCall.
