Lily Allen claims ‘calculated’ Beyoncé is ‘getting some help’ to look youthful

Lily Allen has taken a not-so-subtle jab at Beyoncé’s youthful appearance.

The “Smile” singer, 38, claimed the “Halo” hitmaker, 42, is “getting some help” in the beauty department.

During a discussion on her “Miss Me?” podcast with co-host Miquita Oliver that dropped Thursday, the radio DJ gushed over Beyoncé’s age-defying looks.

“She does look great; she makes me quite excited about [my] 40s,” Miquita said, to which Allen chimed in, “Yeah, but she’s getting some help.”

“She has not had any work done if that’s what you’re implying,” Miquita added emphatically.

Allen clarified, “I didn’t say that, [but] she’s got a great team of stylists, great hair people, she works out, [she’s] got access to the best personal trainers in the world … she’s Beyoncé.”

Allen also claimed the 32-time Grammy winner, who just dropped her “Cowboy Carter” country album last week, was making “calculated” promotional decisions.

“It’s quite an interesting thing to do when you’re trying to tackle a new genre and you just choose the biggest song in that genre [to cover]. I mean you do you, Beyoncé,” Allen said, referencing her cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”

“I think it’s been quite calculated. I feel like when Jay-Z got up at the Grammys … that was part of this campaign,” she added, referencing Jay-Z’s on-stage rant about the fact that his wife has never won Album of the Year.

“And now she is the most played woman on country radio and she’s coming for that market.”

Allen is certainly no stranger to speaking her mind.

Last month, she candidly admitted that having two children “ruined” her chances of becoming a major pop star.

“My children ruined my career,” she said with a laugh on the “Radio Times Podcast.”

“I mean, I love them, and they complete me, but in terms of, like, you know, pop stardom, totally ruined it,” she clarified.

After splitting in 2018, she married “Stranger Things” actor David Harbour.

“It really annoys me when people say you can have it all because, quite frankly, you can’t. Some people choose their career over their children, and that’s their prerogative,” she added at the time.

“My parents were quite absent when I was a kid, and I feel like that really left some, like, nasty scars that I’m not willing to, you know, repeat on mine. And so I chose stepping back and concentrating on them, and I’m glad that I have done that because I think they’re pretty well-rounded people.”
