\n\tDakota Johnson<\/a> made a surprise appearance on the most recent episode of Saturday Night Live<\/a> as the mistress in Lily Allen<\/a>\u2018s song \u201cMadeline.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAllen performed the popular track from her new album, West End Girl, which centers on the narrator confronting her husband\u2019s mistress, named Madeline. The singer has previously said the album was inspired by her marriage to\u00a0Stranger Things actor David Harbour<\/a>, which reportedly ended earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe had an arrangement \/ Be discreet and don\u2019t be blatant \/ There had to be payment \/ It had to be with strangers \/ But you\u2019re not a stranger, Madeline,\u201d Allen sang to the audience in Studio 8H before Johnson, as Madeline, explained her side of the story via texts she sent to the singer.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHey, he is telling you the truth. Our relationship has only ever been about sex. I can promise you that this is not an emotional connection. We don\u2019t speak outside the time we spend together. And whenever he talks about you, it\u2019s with the utmost respect,\u201d Johnson\u2019s Madeline said at first.<\/p>\n

\n\tAllen continued singing, with Johnson still behind a sheer curtain on stage, appearing to be lying on a bed and texting on a cellphone. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI hate that you\u2019re in so much pain right now,\u201d Johnson\u2019s Madeline added on SNL<\/a>. \u201cI really don\u2019t wanna be the cause of any upset. He told me that you were aware this was going on and that he had your full consent. If he\u2019s lying about that, then please let me know. Because I have my own feelings about dishonesty. Lies are not something that I wanna get caught up in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou can reach out to me any time, by the way. If you need any more details or you just need to vent or anything. Love and light, Madeline,\u201d she concluded, eventually revealing herself from behind the curtain and kissing Allen on the cheek.<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch the full performance below. Earlier in the night, Allen also performed \u201cSleepwalking\u201d from her most recent album.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere during Saturday\u2019s SNL episode, host Josh O\u2019Connor cleared up rumors about him<\/a> potentially starring in a live-action\u00a0Ratatouille movie and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dakota Johnson made a surprise appearance on the most recent episode of Saturday Night Live as the mistress…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[23029,76381,156,73940,111,139,69,8804,45415,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-183709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-dakota-johnson","9":"tag-david-harbour","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-lily-allen","12":"tag-new-zealand","13":"tag-newzealand","14":"tag-nz","15":"tag-saturday-night-live","16":"tag-snl","17":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
