The 20-year-old artist first rose to fame when she was just 12, when a performance of her busking Ed Sheeran's 'Supermarket Flowers' on Grafton Street, Dublin went viral. This lead to an appearance on The Ellen Show, and since then, the singer-songwriter has continued to grow from strength to strength. Captivating thousands of music lovers with her distinctive voice, gorgeous lyricism, and enchanting stage presence, Allie has garnered over 10 million followers across her social media platforms. She regularly shares brilliant covers on YouTube, and has also released a plethora of original tracks which prove that she deserves to be the name on everyone's lips. 2025 has been a brilliant year for Allie, with the singer-songwriter spending a lot of time on the road supporting artists including Tom Grennan and Macklemore, as well as sharing stages with The Script, Olly Murs, and more. She has also performed numerous headline shows including her current UK and European tour. If that wasn't enough, she's kept fans engaged with a string of brilliant singles including 'Damage Control' and 'ex-friend', garnering support from BBC Radio 1, The Independent, The Sun, and Daily Star. We caught up with Allie in the middle of her Damage Control tour to discuss life on the road, her latest single 'I Don't Need Saving', songwriting, and surprise duets whilst busking on Grafton Street.

No worries! Yeah, it's going great. It's been a lot of fun. It's a lot of work. I'm tired at the moment, but it's so worth it, getting to go on the stage every night. You're currently in Europe but then you've got the UK leg starting next week - what can your UK fans expect from these shows? A great time hopefully! I've been working on a lot of new music so there's going to be some released original music, songs that are already out like my past four singles, but then I've got some unreleased music that I like to play as well. Then you know I always throw in a few covers because you know, it's my thing, I've always been doing covers but this is kind of a stepping stone into transitioning from totally covers to covers and originals, but trying to focus on the original music. Absolutely, I guess it's just a good chance to be able to try out new songs and things that fans haven't heard yet? Yeah, definitely. I always like to try out new songs and see how people react to them. If they have a good reaction, I release them and if they don't then I'm just like "yup, throw that one in the bin" haha. When you're out on tour, what are some of the comforts that you need while you're away from home? The main thing for me is that I have some things from home, like simple things. I like to have my own pillows and duvet and just like my skincare and shampoo that I always use. Otherwise, I just feel like... I don't even know the word for it. I just feel horrible all the time. I just need something to give me some comfort. That's it really. I'm really not particular, like there's nothing crazy on my rider. I just want some sparkling water and a little bit of chocolate! That makes sense, especially when you've been on the road for a lot of this year! As well as your own tour, you've supported Tom Grennan and shared stages with the likes of The Script and Olly Murs. What would you say has been like your touring highlight of 2025? It's all been amazing but I think my biggest achievement was supporting Macklemore because I had tickets to see him and then I got the email asking to support him. I was like, this is crazy! I was almost like, you know, the genres don't really match, why do they want me? Is this a joke? Is it a scam? But it was real and it was insane. I got to play in my own city, Cork and in Dublin. But even The Script and Tom Grennan were amazing. Tom Grennan is genuinely so sweet and he was so good to us and I had the best time. They were all amazing! You have spoken a bit about releasing new music, and you've just released your latest single, 'I Don't Need Saving'. Can you tell us a little bit about it and the inspiration behind it? I went into the studio that day and we were trying out so many different things. Nothing was really working. I was writing with Joey [Eighty] and Josh [Carruthers] and they were like, 'tell me what's been happening lately'. I started talking about this guy and how I've been [with him]. I'm a really hot and cold person, like one minute I love you and the next minute I want nothing to do with you. And it's genuinely so bad on my part, but I'm so hot and cold and it's really bad for me to do it to him. So I was telling them this story, but then I was also saying that this guy is, I want to say love bombing...I don't know if t
