Miquita said: ‘She does look great, she makes turning 40 exciting.’
Lily added: ‘Yeah but, she’s getting some help.’

Miquita fumed: ‘She has not had any work done if that’s what you’re implying!’
Lily said: ‘I didn’t say that but she’s got a great stylish, great hair people, she works out, got the access to the best personal trainers in the world… she’s Beyoncé’.
While she made the indirect remark, Lily also claimed Beyoncé has been very ‘calculated’ about her new album and the advertisement around it.
Speaking from her hotel room in Nashville, Lily, who is currently in the midst of making her first album sober, said: ‘It’s quite an interesting thing to do when you’re trying to tackle a new genre and you pick the biggest song in that genre. I mean you do you Beyoncé.’
She added: ‘I think it’s been quite calculated. I feel like when Jay-Z got up at the Grammy’s, that was part of this campagne. She was wearing the blonde wig, a cowboy hat and he done that wig.
‘It was about challenge the institution and now she is the most played woman on country music.
‘I’m here because I love country music and always have done, not saying Beyoncé doesn’t but I tell stories in my music and that’s what country music is.’

Lily also admitted that she finds people attractive when they hold a lot of ‘power’ instead of ‘looks’.
Miquita asked: ‘Do you think Jay-Z is attractive?’
Lily said: ‘I mean I’m attractive to power, so yes but not physically. But to be honest I don’t really go for people physically.’
