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."

More than 40,000 fans are expected to attend the event, which will also see performances from acts including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Halestorm and Osborne is only expected to sing four songs because of health issues and Iommi explained that rehearsals had been hard on all of Sabbath's classic lineup."I wouldn't say it's been easy, it's been tough, because none of us are getting younger and to stand there for a couple of hours is tiring," he supporting bands had been good to work with, though, and there were "no egos", Iommi stated. Although they are a long way from their early days in Birmingham, Sabbath - formed in 1968 - still remember the city fondly and talk about their said: "I can't remember what happened yesterday, but we can remember what happened in those days, where we used to go, and the gigs we did."That made the farewell in Birmingham extra poignant, he said, adding: "This is totally different from anything else we've done, you know we've played for 300,000 people but this is nerve-wracking."There was also the thought that there would be no more comebacks after this."We're never going to do this again, this will be it," he said he hoped the gig would finish things on a good note and, when asked what he thought the legacy of Black Sabbath would be, said it would be the bands that followed in their legacy would continue through them, he said.

Pedro Neto could miss Chelsea quarter-final after death of Diogo Jota
Neto did not train following the news and manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed he will be granted compassionate leave should he want it. Pedro Neto (centre left), could miss Chelsea's Club World Cup quarter-final after the death of Diogo Jota (right) (Bradley Collyer/PA) The Blues face the Brazilian outfit on Friday evening (2am Saturday UK) at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field. Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Maresca said: 'It's a very sad day. I struggle to find words because it's very difficult, the feeling that you have is of helplessness in this kind of situation. 'The only thing I can say is all my love to his family, the people in this moment. It's a big tragedy for them. 'In terms of Pedro it is very sad, probably more than sad. 'It's completely Pedro's decision. I had a chat with Pedro and we support him. Any decision he will take is the correct one. 'It doesn't matter if he'll be on the pitch or not. We'll see how he is feeling but, in any case, we're going to support him.' Chelsea Football Club has agreed a deal to sign teenage forward Estevao Willian from Palmeiras, with the Brazilian to officially join Chelsea next summer. 🤝 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) June 22, 2024 The game could see Chelsea come up against the teenage Brazilian forward Estevao Willian, who is due to join them after the tournament. The highly-rated 18-year-old agreed a move to Stamford Bridge last year and the current competition in the United States is his final assignment with Palmeiras. Maresca said: 'When we prepare for games, we prepare thinking about the team, not the players that are on the other side, and we have done exactly the same in this game. 'We prepare for the game against Palmeiras, not against Estevao. In this moment he is a Palmeiras player. 'We don't care if in the future he will be with us when this competition is finished. The only thing we are focused on is doing our best to try to beat Palmeiras.' Chelsea have a fitness doubt over Romeo Lavia due to a muscular injury and fellow midfielder Moises Caicedo is suspended. Forward Joao Pedro could make his debut after completing his £60million move from Brighton earlier this week. Maresca said: 'Joao's situation is a bit strange or different because he was on holiday. Even if he was working it is not the same when you work for yourself, compared with when you work with the team. 'But we are very happy with Joao. In the last two days he worked with us. We'll see if we need him and if we have a chance to give him some minutes we're going to give him some minutes.'

Palmeiras' Estevao Willian urged to give next club Chelsea glimpse of his talent
The 18-year-old is set to face the Blues in the Club World Cup on Friday night (2am Saturday, UK) in what could be his final match for the Brazilian side before moving to Stamford Bridge. The highly-rated Estevao agreed a deal to join Chelsea last year and will do so after his involvement in the current tournament in the United States ends. Ferreira hopes he can go out on a high and in the process help dump out Chelsea when the two sides meet in their quarter-final at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field. The Portuguese coach said: 'We, him and the club – everyone knew this could happen during the negotiations. Everyone knew he could play. 'I don't have to say anything. He knows what he needs to do tomorrow. He has to do his job. I hope he gives his best for the owners of Chelsea and they look at him and his potential and all the quality he has. 'It will be an opportunity for him to show how good he is. We will expect his best, the maximum in attack and defence and maybe he will score a goal to give a goodbye for our fans. 'We helped him to grow as a man and a professional. It could be a moment to give him a goodbye with one amazing game, maybe with one goal.' Ferreira has urged Philadelphia's sports fans to get behind Palmeiras for the July 4 encounter. He said: 'It will be a good opportunity for the locals to join with us against the English. Tomorrow it is Independence Day against the English. Join us, we need your support!' Tournament organiser FIFA has confirmed the match will be preceded by a minute's silence for Diogo Jota, the Liverpool forward who has died along with his brother Andre Silva, also a professional footballer, following a car accident in Spain. Ferreira, 46, who used to play for Silva's club Penafiel, said: 'This is very sad news. I would like to give my condolences to the family and friends of these two amazing athletes. 'I always tell my players we should live in the moment. We need to be thankful and enjoy life, as we never know what is going to happen tomorrow.'
