Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Tour has been full of surprises, and her latest stop in Miami proved no different. On September 27, the pop star thrilled fans at the Kaseya Center with a heartfelt cover of Ariana Grande’s “One Last Time.”
The choice instantly resonated with the crowd. Grande’s 2014 single, lifted from her sophomore album My Everything, is widely regarded as one of her signature ballads, blending dance-pop and EDM with an emotional core.

This marks the latest entry in a now-beloved tradition of the Radical Optimism Tour: a rotating cover segment unique to each city. Earlier in the tour, Dua paid homage to AC/DC in Brisbane with “Highway to Hell,” tapped into pop nostalgia with Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn,” and brought disco flair to Boston with Donna Summer’s “Bad Girls.” More recently, she went viral in Atlanta for her playful spin on OutKast’s “Hey Ya!”
The Miami tribute to Ariana Grande felt particularly special, as both stars represent the new generation of global pop heavyweights. “One Last Time” was one of Ariana’s biggest hits, achieving multi-platinum certification across the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia and becoming a defining anthem of the 2010s.
Currently, Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Tour spans 22 songs each night, blending tracks from her latest record Radical Optimism with career-defining hits from Future Nostalgia. The high-production arena show has traveled across Australia and Europe and is now electrifying North America before heading to Canada.
