The Vampire singer, 22, was spotted rubbing shoulders with none other than ex-England football manager Roy Hodgson.
The Gen Z chart-topper famous for her heartbreak anthems and moody lyrics found herself sat next to the former England manager.
The 77-year-old Hodgson is best known for managing the Three Lions and more recently Crystal Palace.
Hodgson holds the record as the oldest manager in the Premier League when he took charge of the Eagles at 76 years and 187 days old.
He has won league titles in Denmark and Sweden and reached the UEFA Cup final with Fulham and Inter Milan.
Fans on social media were left in stitches at the unlikely pairing of a genuine football icon and a rising star in music.
One X user joked: 'I could forgive his stint as Liverpool manager but that's a step too far.'

Another commented: "Could explain why he looks uncharacteristically chipper."
Then a third added: "He probably mentioned he managed many football teams in England including the national team and she woulda said Good for you."

Olivia seemed to be enjoying the action on Centre Court with her actor boyfriend while Roy looked as calm as ever as he took it all in.

Best-of-five sets in women's game? Bring it on, says Navarro
LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) - With temperatures reaching more than 30 degrees Celsius at Wimbledon this week, players could be forgiven for wanting to reduce their time on court, but not American Emma Navarro who wants to see the women's tour play best-of-five set matches. The 10th seed was seemingly hungry for more minutes on the sun-soaked grass at the All England Club, having taken little more than an hour to seal her place in the third round with a 6-1 6-2 victory over Veronika Kudermetova on Thursday. The best-of-five format is only used for men's singles matches at the four Grand Slams, but with some pundits suggesting a rule change to allow the women to play for longer as well, Navarro says bring it on. "I would probably feel pretty good playing five sets. I think I feel good about my fitness level and endurance level," the 24-year-old told a press conference. "I would be curious to see how the (women's) tour would hold up playing five sets. Yeah, I think it would be kind of fun." Such a move, even if for the latter stages of majors, would allow fans of the women's game to enjoy a potential hours-long epic such as the French Open men's final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz last month lasting five hours and 29 minutes. "I would be curious to see how the women would hold up playing for five hours, like those guys. Sinner and Alcaraz, it was an insane display of endurance and fitness level. I would be curious to see how the ladies would handle it," Navarro said. "But I think it would be kind of fun to see." However, not everyone shares her view, particularly compatriot Jessica Pegula, who was concerned that long matches would be a snooze-fest for some viewers. "I don't think we all need to start playing three-out-of-five. For me it's too long. I personally lose interest watching the matches. I think they're incredible matches and incredible physically and mentally," Pegula had said on Tuesday after her first-round loss to Elisabetta Cocciaretto. "I'm, like, 'Do we really need that?' I don't know. I mean, some people love it. I personally will not watch a full five-hour match. People can't even hold their attention long enough they say these days with phones. How are they holding their attention for five hours? I don't know. Just not my thing."

Out-of-contract Rangers star signs new one-year deal to stay at Ibrox
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS have already signed four new players this summer as Russell Martin is wasting no time in getting his team ready for the start of the season. He has to act fast, though, with just three weeks before the Champions League qualifier against Panathinaikos. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Russell Martin has been busy in the transfer market Credit: Willie Vass 2 He's also tied down a current Gers star on a new deal Credit: Willie Vass - The Sun The manager has to replace the likes of Vaclav Cerny, Neraysho Fernandes and Rafael Fernandes who have all left following the end of their loan spells. Ianis Hagi, Leon Balogun and Tom Lawrence also departed after running down their contracts at Ibrox. But one out-of-contract ace HAS decided to stay beyond this summer after penning a new short-term deal. It's unlikely he will even feature for the Light Blues this season, though, as he hasn't made a single first team appearance for the club in NINE years. Back-up goalkeeper Kieran Wright will stay at Ibrox for another season at the very least after penning a new one-year deal in Govan. The 26-year-old will enter his TENTH year as a first team player this season but the closest he's ever got to making his debut has been appearances on the bench. Since making his breakthrough in the Rangers youth academy he has spent most of his career out on loan to various Scottish clubs. He got his first taste of senior action in the lower leagues with Gala Fairydean Rovers in the 2016/17 season but has since played for several SPFL sides. He's played for Albion Rovers, Raoth Rovers, Alloa Athletic, Partick Thistle, Dumbarton, Livingston and most recently Airdrie. He won the League One title with Partick Thistle in the 2020/21 campaign - his only silverware as a professional player. Ally McCoist confesses to 'horrendous' epic fail ahead of final day of Rangers legend's charity bike ride He spent the second half of last season on loan at Airdrie in the Scottish Championship, where he helped them retained their second-tier status by beating Cove Rangers in the relegation play-off final in May. He made 24 appearances in total for the Championship club. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
