Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sia's Chandelier may have been despicably robbed of the 'song of the year' award by Sam Smith's Stay With Me at tonight's Grammys, but we did at least get another sensational performance of it at the ceremony, which saw Bridesmaids' Kristen Wiig step into the nude leotard.

Playing the grown-up counterpart to Ziegler's dancing waif, Wiig wore a bobbed wig and recreated the video's surrealist dance moves, sliding around a dishevelled apartment set.

Ziegler and Wiig playfought during the performance, which saw Sia, as ever, singing with her back turned and Shia LaBeouf introduce it with a short reading.

LaBeouf has also danced with Ziegler in the past, appearing in the music video for Sia's 'Elastic Heart'.

Other artists who performed at the ceremony included Kanye West (twice), Rihanna, Beck, Coldplay, Arianna Grande and Lady Gaga.

Katy Perry gave a special performance as part of Obama's It's On Us anti-rape campaign, and Kim Kardashian arrived dressed as Nature Boy Ric Flair.
