Watch Lily Allen Perform “Sleepwalking,” Bring Out Dakota Johnson for “Madeline” on Saturday Night Live

Last night, December 13, Lily Allen returned to Saturday Night Live as musical guest for the first time since 2007. The British pop star performed “Sleepwalking” from her new album West End Girl and brought out Dakota Johnson to play the titular other woman in “Madeline.” She also appeared as herself in a sketch themed around West End Girl’s title track. Watch Allen on SNL below.
Saturday Night Live’s 51st season has featured performances from Doja Cat, Sabrina Carpenter, Brandi Carlile, Olivia Dean, and Dijon, among others. Bad Bunny hosted the season premiere. Next week’s episode—the last of the calendar year—will see Ariana Grande host SNL for the second time in as many years alongside musical guest Cher.
With less than a week’s notice, Allen shared West End Girl in October. She’ll tour the album across the United Kingdom and North America next year.
