A clip of Dua Lipa’s awkward interaction with a busker at Glastonbury has gone viral.

Days after wowing the crowd while performing at the Pyramid Stage at the famed UK music festival, the singer found herself on the receiving end when she was ambushed by a festivalgoer and forced to listen to his music.

Aspiring musician Liam C. stopped the British singer in her tracks as she was walking around the festival and asked if he could play her his music.

Dua Lipa has a cringe-worthy interaction with a busker at Glastonbury.

“My name is Liam C, and I saw your Camden documentary and I thought it was amazing,” he began in the footage, which featured Dua Lipa looking confused.

“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.”

She politely obliged with a shoulder shrug as the man began. During his performance, she stood respectfully by his side and bopped along as he played his ukulele.
