In the tenth season of “Vanderpump Rules,” which aired in 2023, 28-year-old Ally joined the reality show‘s lineup, bringing fresh energy and dramatic flair. Her interactions with the cast, notably her romantic affiliations and unique song assignments, are worth noting.
The Love Affair and the Song Assignments
Ally sparked a romance with the British DJ James Kennedy. Strikingly, she attributed Taylor Swift’s album “Lover” to James, possibly due to his London roots, which adds a touch of symbolism to their relationship.
The Divorce and the Revenge Song
In the same year, Ariana Madix, at the age of 38, separated from her co-star Tom Sandoval, who was 40, following revelations of his infidelity with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss. Ally used music to reflect these events, associating Ariana with the song “Vigilante S—t,” hinting at vengeance. Adding fuel to this interpretation was Ariana’s red dress at the season 10 reunion, likened to a “revenge dress” by Andy Cohen.
Song Assignments: The Difficult and the Easy
Ally found it challenging to associate a song to Lala Kent. She nonetheless suggested a piece from Swift’s “Reputation” album, perhaps to reflect the complexity of Lala’s personality. On the other hand, Scheana Shay was easily paired with the song “Bejeweled” from the album “Midnights,” in line with Scheana’s hit single, “Good [as] Gold,” characterised as a “sparkly, shiny showstopper.” Interestingly, Ally also allocated Katie Maloney to the “Reputation” album, similar to Lala.
The Challenge of Assigning Songs to the Men
Ally found it difficult to assign a song to Tom Schwartz or any other male cast member for that matter. On a separate note, Lisa Vanderpump was uniquely paired with the song “The Man” from Swift’s “Lover” album, drawing intriguing parallels between the song and Lisa’s character.
