Fans spotted a cryptic dig Lily Allen appeared to make at her ex-husband, David Harbour, during a recent performance.
The singer, 40, began dating the Stranger Thing actor, 50, in 2019 and the couple got married in a Las Vegas ceremony officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator in September 2020.
The couple moved in together in Brooklyn, New York, along with Lily's two daughters, but rumors of a separation began in December 2024.
Lily appeared to spill some of the details of their separation in her album West End Girl, stating in October 2025 that it was partially based on the "demise" of their relationship.
Lily appeared to make another statement during the start of her West End Girl tour at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Monday, through the choice of outfits she wore.
Fans spotted that during '4Chan Stan', Lily was wrapped in a swath of fabric printed with handwritten lyrics and receipts from tequila bars and Bergdorf Goodman, a deliberate choice reflective of the lyrics in which she discovered her husband bought another woman an expensive handbag at the luxury department store.
For 'Madeline', a song which relates to text messages she found from a mystery woman to her husband, she wore a sheer negligee from Valentino with a marabou-trimmed silk robe.
While performing 'Pussy Palace', Lily performed on a bed on stage with a Duane Reade bag next to her, referring to the song's lyrics about finding a shoebox of love letters from other women.
It's not the first time Lily has made a sartorial choice related to her lyrics, as she dressed as the children's book character Madeline for Halloween, a pointed reference to the mystery woman.
West End Girl was said to be written and recorded in just ten days and captures Lily's feelings as her marriage fell apart.
In her own words: “It was hard to make this record. It was incredibly manic, and it was emotionally traumatic. But nothing felt forced. It just sort of fell out of me. And I think that’s what happens when you’re writing from a place of truth, and without an agenda.”
She explained: “This record was purely for me, and it was a way of processing things that I was going through in my private life.”
At the same time Lily stressed: “There are things that are on the record that I experienced within my marriage, but that’s not to say that it’s all gospel.
"There are definitely some things that happened in my real life that are reflected on this record.”
She described the collection as the product of “a mixture of fact and fiction which I hope serves as a reminder of how stoic yet also how frail we humans can be.”
Since splitting from David, Lily has moved on with Jonah Freud, 28, a London-based writer and artist who is the great-great-grandson of Sigmund Freud.
