Lana Del Rey reveals she kissed huge US singer in new song as she announces big career change
Pop star Lana Del Rey has revealed some eyebrow raising lyrics from her new album as she admitted to kissing a huge singer while revealing her highly anticipated career change
Lana Del Rey has taken a surprise career change as she sang one of her songs for the very last time. The singer, whose real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, is gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated album.
Her forthcoming album The Right Person Will Stay, follows on from Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. The new album is currently scheduled for release next month and will see Lana take a huge turn in her career. She has decided to release a country album in contrast to her previous tracks that have often been labelled as indie pop and alternative, with strong influences from dream pop, baroque pop, and rock.
Lana, who is heading on a UK tour later this year, gave a taste of what to expect while performing at Stagecoach Festival in California this weekend. She performed her new song Husband of Mine as well as 57.5 Million.
The latter track references the number of listeners she has on Spotify and before performing the song she asked fans to listen closely to the lyrics. She surprisingly sang about kissing country star Morgan Wallen in the track before revealing it would be the last time she'd ever sing it.
Lana, who married alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene in September last year, said on stage: 'I kissed Morgan Wallen. I guess kissing me kind of went to his head. If you want my secret to success, I suggest don't go ATV-ing with him when you're out West.'
Before debuting the lyric, she quipped: "This is the last time I'm ever gonna say this line."
Lana revealed her 10th studio album back in November, hinting at new tunes on Instagram. She wrote at the time: "Happy for you to hear a few songs coming up before Stagecoach."
She had hinted at the country vibe of her upcoming album, initially set to be named Lasso, earlier this year. Speaking at a Billboard pre-Grammy event, Lana shared insights into the album's direction as she said: "If you can't already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country...
"We're going country. It's happening. That's why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years."
In a Vogue interview last summer, she further defined her album's concept, commenting: "All my albums are somewhat rooted in Americana... so I don't think it will be a heavy departure."
She added: "If anything, it will just be a little lighter lyrically, and more pointed in a classic country, American, or Southern Gothic production - which again, so many of my songs already are."

The singer, 31, walked the streets wearing an oversized red hoodie and chequered green shorts. The Never Say Never singer completed his mix-and-match outfit choice with a blue snap back cap and light blue sliders. However, it was the appearance of a knee brace that would have concerned his loyal followers. The large black covering was seen protecting his left knee as he took a jaunt without his wife. He appeared to cut a sombre figure in the sunshine as he clung to his mobile phone. Following the images obtained by the Mail, Justin appeared to have removed the knee support for his next social media update. He was seen smiling while wearing a pair of blue leggings. Fans joked he should: "Stop playing and give hailey her leggings back." Another joked: "This is what i wear to Pilates Justin." His latest outing and uploads come as fans begged him to take a break from his social media following his outburst earlier in the week. The dad-of-one, who is married to Hailey Bieber, took to Instagram to voice his thoughts. In the post, which he wrote over a pink background, he shared with his followers: "Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else's kids. Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn't have. The audacity. That's not your place. God decides what we deserve." Fans work quick to share their worries for the star in the comments section of the post. One user penned: "God told me you need a social media break," as over 21,000 fans liked the comment. "Brother didn't you tell your wife she could never be on the cover of vogue??" one person referenced his recent admission about a fight he had with his wife. However, following Justin's comments about his wife's cover story, he backtracked his views. He deleted his scathing caption he wrote under a picture of Hailey's cover of Vogue magazine. He was slammed by fans after he said he told his wife and mum of his son, Jack Blues, that she would never grace the cover of Vogue during a heated argument. He was responding to her cover shot for the US edition of the magazine. And on Instagram, he mused: "Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. "Yikes, I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected, I thought I gotta get even." He continued: "Think as we mature we realise that we're not helping anything by getting even, we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection." He concluded by sharing a message directly to Hailey. It read: "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken."

Alex Warren's Ordinary becomes longest-running UK number one this decade
US singer Alex Warren's smash hit Ordinary has notched up its 12th week at number one in the UK - the longest chart reign since Ed Sheeran's Shape of You in which the 24-year-old wrote for his wife after their wedding last year, has been streamed 107 million times in the UK, according to the Official Charts has broken the 70-year-old record for the most consecutive weeks at number one by a US artist - surpassing Slim Whitman's Rose Marie, which spent 11 weeks at the top in shows no sign of going away - it remains by far the biggest song on Spotify in the UK, with 33% more streams than its nearest rival in the service's latest daily rankings. But it has some way to go before it catches the longest-running number ones of all number ones in history:Frankie Laine, I Believe - 18 weeks, 1953Bryan Adams, (Everything I Do) I Do It For You - 16 weeks, 1991Wet Wet Wet, Love Is All Around - 15 weeks, 1994Drake ft Wizkid & Kyla, One Dance - 15 weeks, 2016Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody - 14 weeks, 1975/6 & 1991/2Ed Sheeran, Shape of You -14 weeks, 2017Alex Warren, Ordinary - 12 weeks, 2025 Warren found fame as one of the founders of the Hype House, a TikTok collective who lived together in Los Angeles and entertained millions of teenagers during the first reached the top 10 with Carry You Home last year, then his career as heartfelt folk-pop singer-songwriter exploded with Ordinary, which is currently also number one in the US."It has been enormous," said James Masterton, who writes the Chart Watch UK blog. "It's a crossover hit single in a good old-fashioned sense, and in a way we haven't seen for quite some considerable time."It's the kind of record that sat comfortably on the playlists of both Radio 1 and Radio 2, but ironically it's dropped off both of those now and they've both moved on to playing his new single. But that's an example of how it has genuine pan-generational appeal."Ordinary has also become a popular wedding song, and Warren's label has even released a Wedding Version."In that sense it's got much in common with some of the other famous long-running tracks of the past, such as (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, Love Is All Around and I Will Always Love You. They are all very deeply felt romantic songs." But despite being such a mammoth hit, changing media and music habits mean Ordinary hasn't become a universal phenomenon of the kind Bryan Adams and Wet Wet Wet had when they were appearing on BBC TV chart show Top of the Pops week after week."The fragmentation of the media means the ability for records to grab the attention of large groups of people has diminished rapidly," Masterton said."In times gone by when a record was number one for as long as 12 weeks, everybody would know who the superstar was." Longest-running number ones of the 2020s:Alex Warren, Ordinary – 12 weeks, 2025Ed Sheeran, Bad Habits – 11 weeks, 2021Harry Styles, As It Was – 10 weeks, 2022Miley Cyrus, Flowers – 10 weeks, 2023Dave & Central Cee, Sprinter – 10 weeks, 2023 Ordinary is also the longest-running number one since chart rules were changed in 2017 to stop the top 40 getting clogged up by songs that have passed their peak of chart formula automatically demotes songs that have had three consecutive weeks of declining streaming figures, when compared with the rest of the market. But Ordinary has held sufficiently steady to avoid that fate so far.
