Olivia Rodrigo (21) was joined by Lily Allen (39) onstage in London. The pop duo performed Allen’s 2006 smash hit Smile, taking turns singing lead and eventually harmonizing during the chorus.
Moreover, they shared a lengthy hug at the end of their heartfelt reunion, as Rodrigo encouraged her fans to “give it up” for Allen.
“Been a while since I’ve sung at the O2. What a lovely crowd,” Allen reflected in an Instagram post, which included a few behind-the-scenes photos from the surprise performance. “What a lovely crew. Thank you, @oliviarodrigo x.”
“Last night at the O2 with the coolest girl in the whole world,” Rodrigo wrote over a video of the performance on her Instagram Stories, before sharing a wholesome photo of the pair backstage.
According to People, Rodrigo and Allen previously teamed up at Glastonbury in 2022 for a performance of Allen’s 2008 hit Fuck You. At the time, Rodrigo dedicated the song to “the five members of the Supreme Court who have shown us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a shit about freedom,” following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
On the work front, Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour will continue through October with dates in the United States, Asia, Australia, and elsewhere.
