Lily Allen: Hard Out Here
Allen did the dedication of her 20009 single "F-k You" in the middle of her set, when discussing the World Cup and England's lack of advancement in the 2014 tournament.
"The World Cup really freaked me out, actually. I thought, 'F--k, everybody's just going to be off in their tents!' like radio and listening," she said, "But that didn't happen. Not only because we are s--t but I reckon there's also probably a little bit of corruption going on. This next song is dedicated to possibly one of the, well not most corrupt person, but annoyingly corrupt person in the world... Sepp f--cking Blatter, you c--t."
Originally written as an ode to former U.S. president George W. Bush, Allen then launched into a rendition of her sunny yet politically charged It's Not Me, It's You anthem "F--k You," smiling all the while.

Allen's dedication of "F--k You" to Sepp Blatter isn't the first time she's commented on this year's World Cup. A noted soccer fan, Allen also penned her own FIFA anthem "Bass Like Home" to cheer on the English National team.
