Huge pop star spills pints of Guinness on Dublin pub floor as she parties with locals - but would you have spotted her?

Camila Cabello shocked locals in Dublin on Saturday night as she partied at a pub drinking Guinness following her show at the 3Arena. The pop star, 27, shared a series of pictures of her night out on Instagram as she sipped on pints and took to the dance floor. Camila crouched on the floor dancing with two Guinness' in her hand while surrounded by friends before spilling the booze on the dance floor. In another snap, the Havana songstress threw her hands in the air celebrating the end of the European leg of her world tour. She kept low-key for the evening in a grey cardigan and stylish black mini skirt while at the J.R. Mahon's Public House & Brewery. She wrote: 'Dublin how could we ever forget you you legends!!!!! Ireland is one of my favorite places in the world - so many of my favorite authors poets films came from here. The pop star, 27, shared a series of pictures of her night out on Instagram as she sipped on pints and took to the dance floor 'Not to mention this was the best night ever, we had to split the G and celebrate the end of the Euro leg.' Camila was in town as part of her Yours, C Tour and had just performed at the 3Arena earlier that night. During the gig, Camila looked nothing short of sensational in a dramatic silver corset with heavy boning and a bust boosting halterneck. The former Fifth Harmony star teamed the dramatic stage ensemble with a pair of matching skimpy hot pants, which featured a draping belt. She wore a pair of sky-high knee high boots matching the rest of the costume as she gave her extremely high-octane performance. The crowd went wild as she performed hits including Never Be the Same, She Loves Control, Inside Out, and Consequences. The Señorita hitmaker appeared in great spirits as she delivered an energetic performance alongside a slew of backup dancers. Camila's Yours, C Tour kicked off on June 21 at the Starlite Occident Festival in Marbella. The tour is a mix of festival appearances and headline shows across Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America with the European leg concluding in Dublin on Wednesday evening. She will then head to Australia and Brazil in August and September for a string of shows. Her sizzling performance comes several months after she jetted to Monaco to take in the Formula 1 races during the 2025 Monaco E-Prix. The singer was joined by her boyfriend, Lebanese businessman Henry Junior Chalhoub, 38. Cabello and Chalhoub were first linked in November 2024 at an Elie Saab fashion show afterparty in Saudi Arabia. They sparked romance rumours when they were seen packing on the PDA as they frolicked in the ocean in St. Barts in January. The couple went to the pre-BAFTA Nominees party on February 15 in London. They also piled on the PDA while sitting in the front row of Chanel's 2025 Fall/Winter fashion show on March 11 in Paris. They were playfully holding hands before the fashion show started until Chalhoub saw someone filming them and hid his face behind Camila's shoulder. Chalhoub comes from a very wealthy family. His clan are the owners of Dubai-based luxury fashion distribution company Chalhoub Group. The company works with Versace, Jimmy Choo, Jacquemus and several LVMH-owned brands. The mission of the company is to be a partner and creator of luxury experiences in the Middle East,' per their official website. Chalhoub's grandfather Michel and family were worth $1.7 billion as of 2019. Camila has been open about wanting to keep her private life out of the public eye and exercises caution when discussing her love life. 'I get why people are interested in my love life, but I don't want to give people that piece of me because it is the most important part,' she told Latina magazine. Camila went on to outline her 'dream life': 'I want to make songs and have incredible experiences with people. 'I don't want to be locked up in a hotel room and just do press and red carpets. That's not the kind of life I want to live.'
