The pop star closed out the North American leg of the Radical Optimism tour with one last city-specific homage in Seattle<\/p>\n
\n\tThroughout the Radical Optimism tour, Dua Lipa<\/a> has used the surprise song section of her set to celebrate local legends with city-specific covers<\/a> \u2014 and on occasion has brought them out to perform with her. In New York, she got soulful with Lenny Kravitz for \u201cIt Ain\u2019t Over \u2018Til It\u2019s Over.\u201d<\/a> In California, she rocked out to \u201cDon\u2019t Speak\u201d with Gwen Stefani.<\/a> Last night, closing out the North American leg of the tour in Seattle, Lipa stripped it down for an acoustic version of Death Cab for Cutie<\/a>\u2018s emo classic \u201cI Will Follow You Into the Dark\u201d with Ben Gibbard<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cEverything we\u2019ve done so far, we\u2019ve touched on so many different genres and artists,\u201d Lipa told the audience at the Climate Pledge Arena. \u201cI thought tonight I\u2019d do something by an indie legend. I love this song for so many reasons. I feel like it just really defines what love is in such a pure form of wanting to follow somebody until the very end. This song really moves me and I feel very, very lucky because this indie legend happens to be here tonight and he\u2019s going to come up and perform with me. Seattle, please join me in welcoming Seattle\u2019s very own Ben Gibbard.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tUnlike other nights when Lipa has welcomed a special guest, the pop star\u2019s band cleared the stage when Gibbard emerged with his acoustic guitar. The pair performed the record in its most bare form, trading verses back and forth before harmonizing together on the chorus. <\/p>\n \n\tGibbard marks the last entry on the list of artists who made appearances during the North American section of the Radical Optimism tour. He joins Mustafa the Poet, Chaka Khan, Nile Rodgers, Kravitz, Leon Bridges, Lionel Richie, Stefani, Billie Joe Armstrong,<\/a> and Brandi Carlile.<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n
