Dua Lipa Honors Miami Music Legacy Covering Gloria Estefan, Ariana Grande on Radical Optimism Tour

Dua Lipa's Radical Optimism World Tour featured a special tribute to Miami's musical heritage, highlighted by her energetic cover of Gloria Estefan's iconic song "Conga" during her September 26 performance at Miami's Kaseya Center. The next night, she honored fellow pop star Ariana Grande with a heartfelt rendition of Grande's 2014 hit "One Last Time," which Grande acknowledged with an emotional response on Instagram. Lipa has made a habit of performing local artist covers at each tour stop, integrating tributes to the cities she visits, including New York and Chicago, often collaborating with prominent local musicians. Despite a past collaboration between Lipa and Grande on the unreleased track "Bad To You" falling through due to scheduling conflicts, their friendship remains strong, with mutual support evident in social media exchanges. Gloria Estefan, celebrating 50 years in music with her new album "Raíces," remains a revered figure, whose influence inspired Lipa's Miami performance tribute. The tour supports Lipa's third studio album, "Radical Optimism," which has been well received and includes several chart-topping singles.
