Dakota Johnson played the alleged mistress of Lily Allen’s husband David Harbour – known to millions of fans as ‘Madeline’ thanks to her biting West End Girl album
Dakota Johnson stunned fans by joining Lily Allen on Saturday Night Live (SNL), where she kissed the singer while appearing as ‘Madeline’ in a bombshell performance of song Tennis from her West End Girl album.
The performance marked Lily’s first appearance as the show’s musical guest in 18 years.
Lily, 40, sang tunes from her hit album – released in October – that details grim details from her split with Stranger Things actor David Harbour. During the final song, actress Dakota made an a cameo as the infamous Madeline.
The singer references David’s extra marital affairs and his mistress ‘Madeline’ – although the name is understood to be a pseudonym.
Dakota was behind a curtain delivering the song’s spoken-word verses, explaining her side of the story to Lily in a series of texts.
At the end of the song, Dakota moved from a curtained off bed to the front of stage with Lily giving her a kiss on the cheek as they met.
“He told me that you were aware this was going on and that he had your full consent,” she said. “If he’s lying about that, then please let me know. Because I have my own feelings about dishonesty.” At the end of the song, Johnson revealed herself by stepping from behind the curtain, approaching Allen, and planting a kiss on her cheek. The episode was hosted by English actor Josh O’Connor.Earlier, Allen performed her first song of he night, Sleepwalking, dressed in silk nightwear against a bedroom-styled stage backdrop.
The record, described by Allen as a blend of “truth” and “fantasy”, saw the pop star explore a broken sexual “arrangement”. Allen last appeared on the long-running sketch comedy show in 2007, on an episode hosted by actress Drew Barrymore. All 14 songs on her new album were written by Allen, in collaboration with her musical director Blue May.
The SNL performance caps off a huge year for Allen, who just last month announced a string of new live dates to her sold-out tour. Allen, who will perform her new album West End Girl in its entirety, will now also appear in Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester and Cardiff, along with several other towns and cities in June. The original tour dates were announced last month, with all 13 shows quickly selling out.
