One follower didn’t want to let Allen off the hook quite so easily, asking: “When is your mgmt going to set the record straight on this “dropping you” thing?”
Allen replied: “Ask them @iemusic,” tagging the company’s social account into that particular conversation.

Allen went on to speculate on how newsworthy the story about her is, given the current tumultuous political climate.
I imagine the journalist who “broke” this non-story knew that too, in fact I know they did.Which begs the question? Why now? Why would the Sun launch a potentially libelous attack on me at this particular juncture in time?What are they scared of that they have to discredit me 🧐 https://t.co/IflvJlkbCf

Been spending a day thinking about this and I think it’s either Brexit, Grenfell (lots of Stuff being buried in Brexit news) , National Stalking Awareness week coming up @live_life_safe , or hacking. Can’t decide yet. https://t.co/WuHVyan9Tt

Allen then turned her thoughts to other career options, and tweeted that she “Might run for MEP.”
With all the uncertainty around Brexit, it’s unclear whether Britain will continue to have representation in the European Parliament, which might put a dampener on her ambitions.

Minutes later, the singer tweeted an update with her tongue firmly in her cheek, seeming to ask if the disgraced political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica could help her win election as an MEP.
What are Cambridge Analytica calling themselves these days ? Hit me up guys let’s do this. https://t.co/U98VsITlkN

She kept up with the banter from her followers over this stream of consciousness for a while, but clearly grew weary of the attention, ending her Twitter streak with: “Someone change my password again. I can’t with this app.”
Someone change my password again. I can’t with this app.
