Dua Lipa ended her four-night show run of her Radical Optimism Tour at Inglewood’s Kia Forum on Wednesday night, and she did it with a bang.
She surprised fans with a special appearance from Orange County’s very own Gwen Stefani.
The “New Rules” singer called the No Doubt frontwoman one of her “personal heroes.”
“One of my favorite artists, someone who I’ve grown up listening to my whole life, who’s influenced my music, influenced my style, someone who I love as a performer and someone who just constantly keeps redefining herself and music,” Lipa introduced Stefani before she appeared onstage. “And I just absolutely love that this incredible woman is here tonight.”
The pair sang the 1995 No Doubt hit “Don’t Speak,” with the audience immediately joining in.
“You lucky, f–kers” Lipa joked to the crowd of having Stefani in their presence.
The “Hollaback Girl” singer joined Lipa onstage a day after Lionel Richie. On Tuesday night, the two sang his hit All Night Long (All Night).”
During Lipa’s Southern California shows, she and her band performed a different cover song each night. But they didn’t always include a special guest.
For Saturday’s show, she covered Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” and on Sunday, she sang The Mamas & The Papas’ song “California Dreamin’.'” Fans will note that these songs stick with the California theme.
Lipa’s Radical Optimism Tour now heads up north to San Francisco’s Chase Center for shows on Oct. 11 and 12.
