From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

A devoted Dua Lipa fan has revealed how he used a shirt to propose to the singer, who graciously turned him down at one of her concerts.

In a recent video posted to TikTok, a user who goes by @dulapeepguy detailed how he made his own t-shirt in honour of Lipa and to wear at her “Future Nostalgia” tour.

The 26-year-old singer could then be seen in a bedazzled bodysuit and walking on the stage. As she had her microphone in her hand, she noticed the TikTok user in the crowd and called out his outfit.

“You have a nice t-shirt. What’s that? Is that ‘Marry me Dula Peep?’” she asked, as the apparel had a reference to her viral nickname, which has been gifted to her over the years by Wendy Williams.

The camera was then directed towards @dulapeepguy, who had a huge smile on his face. The “One Kiss” singer graciously turned down his marriage request, before offering to sing a song to him.

“Unfortunately, I can’t marry you,” she said. “But I can dedicate this song to you if you like.”

The fan then asked, “for me?”

Lipa responded: “For you.” He went on to tell her that he loved her, before she told him that she loved him too.

Lipa playfully bent down and danced while looking at the TikToker, as she sang her next song, “Good In Bed”.

The video was also reuploaded to @duafver, a fan account dedicated to content about Lipa. As of 15 August, the clip on the account has more than 4.7m views, with TikTok users expressing how they’d feel if they were noticed by the “Levitating”’ singer.

“If i were him i’d be crying myself to sleep,” one wrote.

“What I would give to have Dua Lipa dedicate a song to me,” another added.

Other fans went on to simply share how much they love Lipa and praised her.

“She is the cutest human being alive,” one wrote.

“Gawd.. she’s dreamy,” another wrote.

A third person said: “Crushing it with that outfit.”
