Dua Lipa’s reaction to a busker performing to her during this year’s Glastonbury Festival has gone viral. Liam C, a busker known for his social media videos of him playing his ukulele and performing songs to musicians, stopped Lipa backstage in the camping grounds and played her 30 seconds of his new song. The clip shows Lipa caught unawares, visibly uncomfortable but smiling, nodding her head and looking around while holding what appeared to be a can of Diet Coke.
While Liam was performing, Lipa praised him midway through, telling him that she loved his performance. Afterward, fans took to Twitter to react to the Future Nostalgia singer’s reaction. Several fans noted that Lipa looked uncomfortable but praised her for giving time to Liam. Others were less kind, with some saying that she was rude or uninterested.
Lipa headlined Glastonbury this year before Coldplay and SZA, bringing out Kevin Parker as a surprise guest to sing Tame Impala’s ‘The Less I Know The Better’. A four-star review of her Glastonbury headlining set called it a “visual spectacle” that “not only becomes a glittering celebration of pop in its highest form but also serves as a reminder that even the most outlandish aspirations can become a reality.”
Lipa has also been wrongly accused of lip-syncing during her performance at Glasto. She became the subject of claims online that her performance on the Pyramid Stage had been “too polished to be live”. Others noted that her voice was out of sync with the image on their TV as they watched the performance live. However, it was an issue that went away once technical difficulties were solved by switching to FreeView. The pop star stayed on at Glasto after her set and responded to the claims when they were put to her by a MailOnline reporter, saying, “I don’t mime.”
