We have a tulip tree that is already losing its leaves. It has been dry for the last 2 months; could that be why?

Yes, a drought stressed plant may drop its leaves in self preservation. Have you watered the tree? If not, that will help.

Also check the tree for pests and disease. These articles should help:
