Once again, singer-songwriter Lily Allen is in the spotlight… and it’s making people drag out figurative (and literal) receipts.
This week, a video of Allen performing onstage at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall went viral online. The show, which was Allen’s first live concert in seven years and the first stop on her West End Girl Tour, included her being wrapped in a long green piece of fabric while performing the song “4chanStan”. As the piece unfurls, writing on it begins to be revealed: receipts for objects that her ex-husband, Stranger Things and Thunderbolts* star David Harbour, allegedly bought for other women. The costume references lines in “4chanStan”, where Allen discovers a Bergdorf’s receipt in Harbour’s bedside drawer, singing: “You bought her a handbag / It wasn’t cheap / I was in London / Probably asleep.”
