Lana Del-Rey: Celebs Rumors

Lana Del Rey has turned a blind eye to Glastonbury’s ‘do not pack’ list. Clenching a disposable vape in her hand – the devices are banned across the site due to their single-use nature – the LA-based artist is psyching herself up to break into rousing ballad ‘Bartender’, anxiously tapping her acrylic nails against the grand piano behind her.

Lana Del Rey‘s Glastonbury headline set was cut short tonight (June 24) after the singer was half an hour late to start her set. She was performing on the festival’s Other Stage, when her microphone was cut off mid-performance of her track, ‘White Mustang’.During the song, Del Rey seemed to be mouthing that she could no longer sing, and knew the audience could no longer hear her.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band have announced further support acts joining them at their BST Hyde Park Shows.Announced today (June 16), the newly-announced acts will join The Boss for his upcoming shows in London on Thursday July 6 and Saturday July 8. They will also join previously announced special guests, including The Chicks, Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls — who will be performing at the first show — and James Bay, who will support the rock veteran at the Saturday slot.13 new artists have been named in the announcement, with The Coronas, STONE, Picture Parlour, First Time Flyers, Theo Lawrence and Attawalpa all set to take to the stage at the first show.Newly revealed names supporting the ‘Born In The U.S.A’  icon for the second of the two gigs are Brittney Spencer, Pa Sheehy, Kezia Gill and Kelly McGrath.

Lana Del Rey fans recently got their wish when Taylor Swift bumped up her vocals on the track “Snow On The Beach.”And if “Gangsters” want to heat the lush track live, you can this year.Del Rey, 37, has six major concert and festival appearances lined up around the globe these next few months (and she takes requests!).That includes overseas stops at London, GB’s Hyde Park on July 9 and Mexico City, MX’s Foro Sol on Aug. 15.She’ll also lends her vocal chops to Chicago’s Lollapalooza on Aug.

Lana Del Rey is officially through with social media.

nepo babies — the derogatory term for Hollywood offspring who magically wind up following in their celebrity parents’ footsteps.Now, meet the world’s first nepo daddy.As a former advertising copywriter, it’s possible that 69-year-old Rob Grant, piano man and father to Lana Del Rey, might have eventually come up with the term as a way to market himself and his debut album, “Lost at Sea.”But someone on social media beat him to the verbal punch. And he loved it.“I first saw it in my comments, and I thought, ‘Holy smokes, that’s a beautiful brand!’ ” Grant told The Post.“So I went out and registered the domain nepodaddy.com, and then I called the guys at Decca [Records, his label] and said, ‘We’ve got to do merch around this … I love kind of being the first nepo daddy out there.”Grant has his 37-year-old firstborn — whose alt-pop allure has led her to six Grammy nominations, including an Album of the Year nod for 2019’s “Norman F—king Rockwell!” — to thank for his new nepo-daddy notoriety.

Lana Del Rey and her father Rob Grant have shared a new collaboration called ‘Lost At Sea’ – check it out below.Grant, 69, is  due to drop a 14-track debut album, also called ‘Lost At Sea’, next week (June 9) via Decca Records. You can pre-order/pre-save it here.‘Setting Sail On A Distant Horizon’, ‘Poetry Of Wind And Waves’, ‘The Mermaids Lullaby’ and ‘Deep Ocean Swells’, and now the album’s title track, a duet with his daughter, has arrived.Speaking about ‘Lost At Sea’, Grant said: “Lost At Sea is a deeply emotional and ethereal song.

Lana Del Rey doesn’t leave home without her trusty vape.

Taylor Swift has shared new songs featuring Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey. Both appear on the deluxe edition of the pop star's 2022 album Midnights, which was released today (May 26).

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift has lived up to her self-proclaimed “Mastermind” status with the Thursday night/Friday morning release of fresh versions of two “Midnights” songs. In one, which she spices up “Karma” with an all-new verse from arguably the hottest rapper of the moment, Ice Spice. In the other, bluntly subtitled “(Featuring More Lana Del Rey),” Swift all but cedes the aural spotlight to the guest artist who was formerly inaudible on the track, Lana Del Rey. Ice Spice makes a few interjections here and there in Swift’s verses in “Karma” — she adds an affirmative “Facts!” after Swift sings, “Karma takes all my friends to the summit” — and she also gets the first and last words in this remix (“Karma is that girl, like” and a concluding “Karma’s gonna hold you down”). Mostly, though, she’s afforded an all-new second verse, with lyrics including: “Karma is your checks by the bounce / Karma is the fire in your house / And she ’bout to pop up unannounced.”

Nepotism usually flows from parent to child, but not in the case of Lana Del Rey.

The vault opens again. Taylor Swift is releasing a deluxe version of Midnights that includes more collaborations and a brand new song.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift announced a new deluxe edition of her “Midnights” album, titled “Midnights: Til Dawn,” that will feature Ice Spice as her guest on a fresh version of “Karma” and additional, newly recorded lead vocals from Lana Del Rey on their “Snow on the Beach” collaboration. Digital and physical editions will each have a format-exclusive track. For the digital release, it will be “Hits Different,” a song that was previously only available on the Target version of “Midnights.” More interestingly for fans, the physical edition will have a “Vault” track never before heard from the “Midnights” writing sessions. The all-new song is titled “You’re Losing Me,” the title of which will obviously set fans’ minds aflutter even before they hear it, given recent revelations about Swift’s personal life.

Lana Del Rey’s father Rob Grant has said that he is “happy to be the first nepo daddy” as he prepares to release his debut album.As announced in February, Grant, 69, is due to drop the 14-track ‘Lost At Sea’ on June 9 via Decca Records. You can pre-order/pre-save it here.He’s already previewed the project with the singles ‘Setting Sail On A Distant Horizon’, ‘Poetry Of Wind And Waves’, ‘The Mermaids Lullaby’ and ‘Deep Ocean Swells’.Del Rey – real name Lizzie Grant – will feature on the record’s title track and another song called ‘Hollywood Bowl’.

Lana Del Rey has shared the previously unreleased track "Say Yes To Heaven." Press materials note that the song was written by Del Rey in 2012 alongside Rick Nowels. A version of the song, written prior to the release of 2014 album Ultraviolence, leaked online a few years ago and became something of a grail for Del Rey's fans.

Lana Del Rey has shared a previously-unreleased song called ‘Say Yes To Heaven’ – listen to it below.Recorded back in 2013, the standalone track was originally intended to feature on the singer-songwriter’s third studio album ‘Ultraviolence’ (2014).As Stereogum notes, numerous iterations of the cut have since appeared online.

Jack Antonoff‘s fiancée has confirmed that Lana Del Rey did not leak the couple’s wedding date on the track ‘Margaret’.Del Rey previously said that her ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd‘ collaboration with the Bleachers frontman was about the actor Margaret Qualley.The lyrics in the song see Del Rey suggest that Antonoff and Qualley’s wedding date will be later this year as she sings: “I mean, join the party / By the way the party is December 18.”But when asked by the Los Angeles Times whether she will be getting married on December 18, Qualley said: “I am not. [Lana] was kind enough to not put my real wedding date in the song.

Lana Del Rey has released the 10-minute music video for ‘Candy Necklace’ featuring Jon Batiste from her new album ‘Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd’.The video, directed by Rich Lee and shot in Los Angeles, sees the singer take on the role of numerous Hollywood starlets throughout history like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Short, also known as the The Black Dahlia.The black and white video features behind the scenes shots of Del Rey through the camera finder, in the make-up chair and alongside collaborator Batiste at the piano.“The whole thing about the video — why it was all supposed to be behind the scenes — was because all these women who changed their names and changed their hair, like me,” Del Rey tells the crew at one point in the video.“It’s like they all fell into these different snake holes. So the whole point is like, how do you learn from that and not fall into your own thing?”Watch the video for ‘Candy Necklace’ below.In a four-star review of ‘Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd’, NME said the LA artist’s ninth album was “amongst her most revealing work yet” and “continues to expand the modern icon’s artistry”.It adds: “‘…Ocean Blvd’ might deal with some major existential questions, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had and cements Del Rey’s status as one of modern music’s most intriguing songwriters.”Last month, ‘…Ocean Blvd’ became the best-selling vinyl album of 2023 so far, outselling albums from P!nk, Taylor Swift and more.Upon the album’s release in March, it debuted at the Number One spot on the Official Albums chart — making it her sixth chart-topping LP in the UK.Del Rey was also recently confirmed as the final headliner for this summer’s BST Hyde Park.

Tyler, The Creator has confirmed that he will not release posthumous music after his death.While performing at an intimate show in Los Angeles on Wednesday (April 26), the rapper told fans that he has no plans for his unreleased music to see the light of day following his death, reiterating that his decision has been written into his will.During the show, Tyler played an unreleased track ‘Penny’, before explaining why it’s hard to keep unreleased music to himself. “Some of these are so good I can’t just let them sit on my hard drive.

Lana Del Rey’s ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’ has become the best-selling vinyl album of the year so far.Released last month, the ninth studio album to be released by the pop icon debuted at the Number One spot on the Official Albums chart – making it her sixth chart-topping LP in the UK.Now, the album has also been certified as the best-selling album on wax for 2023, surpassing the likes of Pink, Paramore and Taylor Swift. It has also provided Del Rey’s strongest first week on the charts since 2014, when her second LP ‘Ultraviolence’ reached the peak position.As reported in the Official Vinyl Albums Chart Top 40, less than a month after its release, ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’ sold over 20,800 copies on the format.

Taylor Swift took time from her show on Friday night in Las Vegas to praise Lana Del Rey as “the best we have.”

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When it comes to the surprise-songs portion of each night’s show on the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift fans probably should have seen one of Friday night’s two picks coming. Of course she was going to honor the opening day of release for her friend Lana Del Rey’s new album by performing the song that the two of them wrote together for Swift’s most recent album. But before she did that, Swift gave Del Rey’s Friday release, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” all the “promo” that a fellow artist could ask for, calling it “brilliant” and urging the approximately 60,000 fans gathered at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium to stream or buy the new album.

Lana Del Rey taco truck has appeared in London today to mark the release of her new album, ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’, today (March 24)The food van appeared near King’s Cross station, seemingly in reference to the song ‘Taco Truck x VB’, which appears as the final track on Del Rey’s ninth album.According to photos of fans who have passed the truck, it has been selling ‘Ocean Blvd’ fish tacos, vegan tacos using peppers (as per the song), Mexican hot chocolate infused with vanilla and orange under the name ‘Sweet’ and candy necklaces.The album is the follow-up to 2021’s ‘Chemtrails Over The Country Club’ and ‘Blue Banisters’ and features the singles ‘The Grants’, ‘A&W’ and the title track. It also includes collaborations with  Father John Misty and Tommy Genesis and the previously announced song ‘Margaret’, which is is dedicated to producer Jack Antonoff’s fiancée, the actor Margaret Qualley.Check out the taco truck and the reactions to it below:A DIVULGAÇÃO! Lana Del Rey colocou um caminhão de tacos (referenciando a faixa “Taco Truck x VB”) para divulgar seu novo álbum em King’s Cross, Londres.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Before anything else is said about Lana Del Rey’s new album, let it be noted that however well the record came out, it was foreordained to come in second among her artistic works of the past year. Because absolutely nothing could surpass the mic drop of her placing the sole billboard announcing the new project in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the hometown of a fairly recent ex-boyfriend, in what could only be seen as a clever combination of extreme advertising narrowcasting and baller performance art. But if “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.” had to come in as a runner-up to that, it’s a very, very, very close second. It might even count as her masterpiece to date, among her non-billboard-related work. The word “might” is advisable because claims to that kind of superiority can only be made after a lot of time and repeat listens have passed, of course, and “Ocean Blvd.” is such a dense set of songs to take in that your immediate response to its 16 songs might be to rise for a standing ovation… and then think that maybe you’ll need a week to rest before you settle in for a second and third listen, this time with a whole Internet’s worth of Cliff Notes. The album is likely to wear you out — at least it will if you’re consuming it as confessional songwriting, in bulk, and not just aural wallpaper — but it’s a happy exhaustion.
