Lily Allen shades Beyoncé's decision to go country with new album Cowboy Carter calling it 'calculated' - and questions why she chose to cover Dolly Parton's mega-hit Jolene


The London native, 38, made the remarks on her BBC Sounds podcast Miss Me? Thursday with co-host Miquita Oliver, 39.

Lily Allen has seemingly criticized Beyoncé's new country album Cowboy Carter, calling it 'calculated' and has questioned why she chose to cover Dolly Parton's Jolene. Allen intimated that Beyoncé had taken a bit of a shortcut in covering Dolly Parton's 1973 mega-hit Jolene, a smash hit that has a spot on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all-time.
