Dua Lipa 'signs' for Liverpool after meeting Anfield legend at her city gig

Famous pop singer Dua Lipa has posed for a picture with a Liverpool legend - and appears to have a message for Reds fans.

The pop star's hit song ‘One Kiss’ has become a fan favourite among Kopites, having been played several times before and after Liverpool matches. The song was played after the final whistle of the Reds’ FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City at Wembley Stadium, as well as after the Champions League semi-final first leg victory against Villarreal at Anfield earlier this week.

It was back in 2018 when Dua Lipa first had a connection with Liverpool. The 26-year-old performed at the Champions League final between the Reds and Real Madrid, which the latter won 3-1 in Kyiv, where she performed that song.

Ever since then, Dua Lipa’s hit has earned a cult following among many of the club’s fans, arguably none more so than this season. With Liverpool going for an unprecedented quadruple, Jurgen Klopp’s side are looking to make history with more silverware.

On Friday evening, Dua Lipa performed a concert at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, where she met Reds legend Jamie Carragher backstage. Posing for a photo alongside the singer and her father, Carragher wrote on Twitter: “Possibilities,” referring to a line in the song.

There was also a Liverpool home shirt, which had ‘Lipa 1’ printed on the back to announce the new 'signing'!

Not only that, during the concert Dua Lipa performed the song ‘One Kiss’ and sent a message to Liverpool fans.

The singer said the song is now the ‘unofficial anthem’ for Liverpool - before releasing red and white balloons into the crowd in the arena.

Reds fans were loving the picture posted by Carragher, with one saying: "Our Alisson long term replacement sorted out. Thanks fsg". While another said: "Hope you had a word with her about our open top [bus parade] after the Champions League final Carra."
