And after winning rave reviews for her LA shows, Lily enjoyed a night of partying with her friends including Daniel Nguyen and songwriter Chloe Angelides - who helped write songs on the album.

The group looked in high spirits as they posed for snaps with reality star , who made a cameo during the show to play the infamous 'Madeleine'.

While Lily also made a stop off at West Hollywood LGBTQ bar and nightclub The Abbey to watch 's surprise Confession II performance on the Saturday.

She was spotted having the time of her life in the crowd alongside the likes of , , ’ ex-husband Sam Asghari and .

While the pop star continued the fun the following night, with pal Daniel documenting their late night dinner at In-N-Out.

The fast food chain was famously the site of Lily's wedding reception with ex-husband David, 51, after the pair tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2020.

The pair exchanged vows with an Elvis Presley impersonator acting as the officiant, before celebrating their union with dinner at In-N-Out with her two daughters, Ethel and Marnie.

At the time, David shared snaps of them tucking into their burgers at the laid-back nuptials with the caption: 'In a wedding officiated by the king himself, the people’s princess wed her devoted, low born, but kind credit card holder in a beautiful ceremony lit by the ashen skies courtesy of a burning state miles away in the midst of a global pandemic.

'Refreshments were served at a small reception following.' 

Lily and David split in December 2024 after she allegedly discovered his cheating, with her documenting the turbulent end of the romance in West End Girl.

The lyrics see her appearing to suggest the couple had an open arrangement in regards to sex, as long as it was discreet, with paid strangers and not based on emotional connection, rules the Stranger Things actor appeared to flout. 

In her most talked about track, titled Madeline, she appears to directly address David's infidelity with the mystery woman, who she gives the fictional moniker.

She sings: 'How long has it been going on? Is it just sex or is there emotion?/ He told me it would stay in hotel rooms, never be out in the open.

'Why would I trust anything that comes out of his mouth?/I'm not convinced that he didn't f**k you in our house'.

The chorus reads: 'We had an arrangement/ Be discrete and don't be blatant. There had to be payment/ It had to be with strangers/ But you're not a stranger, Madeline'. 

The song also features spoken interludes from the character of Madeline where she insists to Lily over text: 'Our relationship has only ever been about sex/ I can promise you that this is not an emotional connection.

'We don't speak outside of the time we spend together/ And whenever he talks about you, it's with the upmost respect'.

Later Madeline adds: 'I hate that you're in so much pain right now/ I really don't wanna be the cause of any upset. He told me you were aware this was going on and that he had your full consent.

'If he's lying about that, then please let me know/ Because I have my own feelings about dishonesty/ Lies are not something that I want to get caught up in.'

The Daily Mail revealed that the woman behind the pseudonym Madeline, is costume designer Natalie Tippett, who is understood to have met David - who is 16 years her senior - while filming the Netflix movie We Have A Ghost in 2021, in New Orleans.

Their affair reportedly began shortly after shooting started, only a year after David and Lily tied the knot in Las Vegas.

Even after filming ended, the actor reportedly flew Natalie to his home in Atlanta, Georgia, as the affair continued behind Lily's back.

However, the hitmaker famously uncovered her husband's infidelity when she discovered his profile on celebrity dating app, , and 'joined the dots'.

She joined the app herself, pretending to be 'looking for women' – and allegedly found that her now ex-husband had already set up a dating profile.

Speaking to The Times in October, Lily seemingly confirmed that 'agreed-upon boundaries were not adhered to' in her relationship with David, while addressing how apps had made cheating easier. 

She said: 'There are usually agreed-upon boundaries in relationships. But whether those boundaries are adhered to or not is becoming a grey area all of a sudden. 

'Dating apps make people disposable and that leads to the idea that if you are not happy, there’s so much more to choose from — right in your pocket.'

Ten months before the release of West End Girl, it was revealed that the split had driven Lily to seek professional help. 

The Mail on Sunday revealed that the singer’s mental health deteriorated significantly after she returned from holiday to her marital home in New York in January.

A source said: ‘It was very painful for Lily to return home. David used to be her saviour and now he’s a trigger for her...

'Lily settled her kids back into the family home and took them to school for their new term, then flew herself straight to rehab. She went a day earlier than intended as she felt wobbly and desperate to escape.’

She spent several weeks at the residential retreat in the US where she is said to have taken part in intensive group counselling sessions and one-on-one therapy in which she was reportedly urged to ‘unpack’ her emotions.
