Lily Allen Speaks Out: Beyoncé’s Country Twist Raises Eyebrows

Lily’s Take on “Cowboy Carter”

Lily Allen, known for her no-filter comments, has something spicy to say about Beyoncé’s latest venture into country music. On her podcast “Miss Me?”, alongside cohost Miquita Oliver, Allen dove into a discussion about Beyoncé’s album “Cowboy Carter”, particularly spotlighting Bey’s take on Dolly Parton’s iconic “Jolene”.

Choosing “Jolene”? Really?

Allen, who’s also the other half of actor David Harbour, couldn’t hide her surprise. She finds Beyoncé’s choice to cover “Jolene” quite the eyebrow-raiser, questioning Bey’s strategy in entering the country scene by picking its most renowned song. “It’s like, why pick the most famous song to make your mark? Bey’s just being Bey… or is she trying to be Dolly?” Allen pondered aloud.

A Calculated Country Campaign?

But wait, there’s more! Allen didn’t just stop at the song choice. She’s casting a critical eye on the entire “Cowboy” concept, suggesting everything we’re seeing has been carefully planned out. Remember Jay-Z’s passionate speech at the Grammys about Beyoncé’s snub? Allen sees it as part of a bigger picture to position Beyoncé in the country music realm, especially after the chilly reception at the 2016 CMA Awards. “It all seems a bit too thought-out,” Allen suggests.

Fashion Forward or Fashion Faux Pas?

And for the cherry on top, Allen couldn’t resist a slight nudge at Beyoncé’s appearance. With a hint of shade, she remarked on Beyoncé’s impeccable style team and fitness regimen, implying that it’s all part of the grand plan. “She’s got all these people making her look good. Guess she’s prepared for anything,” Allen hinted with a sly tone.

Beyoncé’s fans, get ready to buzz! Lily Allen’s thoughts are out there, and they’re stirring the pot. Will Beyoncé respond? Stay tuned!
