Lily Allen is a British singer-songwriter known for her candid lyrics. She gained prominence with her debut album ‘Alright, Still’ (2006), featuring hits like ‘Smile’. Her music often addresses themes of relationships, fame, and social issues with wit and humour. Over her career, Allen has released multiple successful albums, acted in theatre, including a notable West End debut, and authored a memoir, ‘My Thoughts Exactly’. She’s also recognized for her outspoken personality and advocacy for various causes.
The singer has recently mentioned in the podcast she can’t imagine doing a 20th anniversary tour for her debut album ‘Alright, Still’ in 2026.
“I do think maybe there is a conversation to be had about doing a 20th anniversary tour of ‘Alright, Still’, but I can’t even imagine though. That person singing those songs is a relative child.
“I just can’t imagine being a 40-year-old woman and standing up on stage singing those songs with any conviction.” Allen said.

She added she could possibly relate more to her second album ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’, whose 20th anniversary will be in 2029.
In June 2022, during the Glastonbury Festival, Olivia Rodrigo invited Lily Allen on stage to perform Allen’s 2009 hit ‘Fuck You‘. This performance was a direct response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, effectively ending federal protection for abortion rights. Lily Allen has been vocal about her stance on the issue, sharing her personal experience with abortion and emphasizing that women should not need ‘exceptional reasons’ to justify their decisions.
Miquita Oliver is a British television presenter, radio host, and personality known for her vibrant career in entertainment. She gained fame as a co-host of ‘Popworld’ alongside Simon Amstell. Miquita also advocates for wellness and shares insights on mental health.
