Dua Lipa's headline performance on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury received rave reviews, but her reaction to another Glasto performer has made her go viral.

The singer spent the weekend at the Worthy Farm festival with her boyfriend, Callum Turner, celebrating her Friday night performance.

While walking around the festival grounds, the New Rules singer was approached by @liamcmusic_, a busker known for his social media videos featuring ukulele performances.

A video posted by Liam shows him enthusiastically playing a visibly uncomfortable Dua “30 seconds of my new song.”

“I saw your Camden documentary and I thought it was amazing. Right now I am busking around Camden and I wanted to play you 30 seconds of my song and if you like it, I just want to get your reaction and that's it,” the busker explained to her.

After 30 seconds, Dua politely tells Liam, "I love it mate, so good, so good,” while walking away as he continues to sing.

Her unimpressed reaction has gone viral, with one person tweeting, “That video of the lad singing to Dua Lipa at Glastonbury has given me third degree cringe.”

Another shared a screenshot of Dua's unimpressed expression, joking, “Every woman on earth can identify with Dua Lipa waiting for the guy to stop playing guitar.”

However, some defended Liam, with one person commenting, “Idk man, if playing a sh***y song and looking like an idiot gets you a hug from Dua Lipa then I'm going to buy a ukulele.”

Liam proudly posted the video and later admitted in an Instagram post that he had managed to "blag" his way into the festival to perform his music.
