A lot of people, if not the majority, live in modern apartment blocks, not quaint little houses. And those blocks look the same in Lisbon, Porto, Setúbal etc. Some are actually nice, but still, they are interchangeable.
This is how you achieve the high population density in big cities:

Might as well be Madrid or Rome...

I have not ruled at some point experiencing life in various European countries. I did have a Portuguese passport at one time before becoming a naturalized American citizen(need to check into that) and Spain and Italy would be at the top of my bucket list if that route were an option.

She ain't my girl But yes, of course I have seen that video before. I only wish she would ask a native speaker to correct her lyrics before she records them, or to sing in Portuguese in the first place...

Good point I agree, but I suspect she knows that it sounds slightly off, that might be what she's aiming for.
