LIVERPOOL HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN LANA-IFIED. Queen of melancholic glamor and making crying look couture, Lana Del Rey floated down from the heavens (probably in slow motion) and haunted Anfield Stadium with her hauntingly gorgeous vocals and ethereal stage presence on Saturday night (June 28).
Miss Lana “Summertime Sadness” Del Rey, who is allegedly 40 but looks like she bathes in candlelight and tears of Victorian poets, delivered a set so dreamy that half the audience spontaneously grew flower crowns and floated into the void.
She served banger after banger after emotional gut-punch—“Video Games”? Check. “Norman F–king Rockwell”? Yes, chef. “Young and Beautiful”? Baby, we’re sobbing in HD. She even sprinkled in some “Ultraviolence” because duh, it’s not a Lana show unless you’re romantically devastated and weirdly okay with it.
AND THEN—brace your inner country girl—she dropped a cover of Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man.” Like, okay retro goddess! 🪕👑 Who else could go from sad yacht rock to vintage country realness without breaking a single acrylic?
This was her third UK/IRE tour stop, following Glasgow (June 26) where kilts were shaken, and Cardiff (June 23) where the emotional damage was legally classified as art. She even thanked Wales on Instagram like the gentle gothic fairy queen she is.
“Thank you so much Wales for being with us and showing out for our first show,” she typed, probably in cursive. “I was so happy to be there and so was the band. Sending all my love.” (crying. screaming. shaking.)
Next up? Dublin on Monday (June 30) and a double whammy in London on July 3rd & 4th. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough chaotic feminine energy—Addison Rae is opening. YEAH. TikTok baddie meets Tumblr’s moody mother. We’re scared. We’re excited. We’re confused in a cool way.
Honestly? If you’re not at one of these shows, what are you even doing? Go cry under the moon, sip a cherry cola, and feel feelings you don’t understand. It’s what Lana would want. 💔✨
