When weighing in on Beyonce's new country album, 'Cowboy Carter', on her 'Miss Me?' podcast, the English singer also claims the Destiny's Child alum has been 'getting some help' to look youthful.

AceShowbiz - Lily Allen is not a fan of Beyonce Knowles and she doesn't have a problem making it clear. The "Somewhere Only We Know" songstress took a swipe at the Destiny's Child alum when speaking to Miquita Oliver on their "Miss Me?" podcast.
"Have you heard the Beyonce album?" Miquita asked, referring to Bey's "Cowboy Carter" album. In response, Lily replied, "I've heard a few bits... The Miley Cyrus one and I listened to the Blackbird one."
"That's the thing with Beyonce, when she gets me, she gets me," Miquita added, citing the singer's "II Hands II Heaven" song as a particular favorite, adding "She got me in my soul." When the television presenter praised Beyonce for how "vibey" she is, Lily stated, "I have to listen to the whole thing from start to finish."
Miquita went on to gush over Queen Bey for looking "great," making her "quite excited about 40s." Lily, however, once again shut down her co-host's excitement by saying that Beyonce must be "getting some help" to look that great.
"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," the English musician detailed. "She's Beyonce."
Not stopping there, Lily called it "very weird" that Beyonce covered Dolly Parton's "Jolene" on the album. "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," she argued.
"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 further opined, 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."
