As James Kennedy very well knows, there is so, so much to love about Ally Lewber. When she first joined Vanderpump Rules as a recurring cast member in Season 10, fans were taken with Ally's sweetness and penchant for astrology. But did you know that she can also sing?
She has covered several pop songs on her TikTok channel — including The Cranberries' 1993 hit "Linger" — often while accompanying herself on acoustic guitar. Ally shared the short clip of her singing the Irish band's iconic song while playing piano in response to another user's request that she participate in the February trend of TikTok users singing the second verse and chorus.
"There's going to be music coming out soon," shared Ally during a February 2024 episode of Scheana Shay's Scheananigans podcast.
