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.

We’ve already seen Tyrion crooning about being “the man for all seasons” and Jamie singing about his love for Cersei. Now, get ready to watch the Rastafarian Targaryen, Emilia Clarke, go full reggae.

“I always knew it would be a triumph. George R Martin meets Chris Martin, what could go wrong?” says Clarke just before the video pans to her in studio, rasta hat on, laying down some smooth vocals.

The teaser dropped on YouTube last night, just before Coldplay's Game of Thrones musical aired in full on NBC as part of the first Red Nose Day US. Watch it below.

“I’m a Rastafarian, Targaryen / I got some dragons and they are very scary / Been here and there and then I been everywhere again” sings Khaleesi as she busts some serious moves.

Clarke has played the mother of dragons Daenerys Targaryen in the hit HBO fantasy drama since the first season and has yet to be knocked off unlike many other unfortunate characters.

Earlier on in the week Peter Dinkladge took to the stage to perform “A Man of All Seasons (still Going Strong)”, a song about his staying power in the show. “Characters get cut for various reasons/ Some people’s parts just ain’t very long/ But not me, I’m still going strong!” were just some of the golden lyrics dropped by the Lanister dwarf.

Hundreds of celebrities have supported Red Nose Day US which has so far raised upwards of $10 million.
