Lily Allen has stirred up some controversy among Beyonce fans with her recent comments on the singer's new album, Cowboy Carter. In her latest podcast episode, she, along with her longtime friend Miquita Oliver, discussed the album and its reception.
The album, which features a cover of Dolly Parton's Jolene, has been met with both praise and criticism. Lily voiced her opinion, calling the album "weird" and "calculated." She also questioned Beyonce's choice to cover the most successful songs in the genre for her venture into country music.
Miquita further elaborated, saying that the cover felt more "generic" and had a "hip-hop beat" underneath. They also discussed the possibility of Beyonce trying to enter Taylor Swift's market with this album, which raised some eyebrows.
Naturally, Beyonce fans were quick to defend their idol and dismiss Lily's comments as irrelevant. Some even questioned who Lily Allen was in the first place. However, Miquita pointed out that Lily herself is currently in Nashville, recording a country album. Lily did state that Beyonce is an icon and institution in the industry, but also questioned her motives for entering the country market.
Regardless of the controversy, Cowboy Carter is a successful album that pays homage to both country music and Black history. And as for Lily Allen, well, she may have just stirred up more attention for herself.
