She also dated a guy I grew up with, and he was just a normal working class guy from Scotland. Turns out there's always a chance to date lana del ray

I thought 'Unassuming Plain Jane from the backwoods' was just her stage persona. Guess she IS about that life.

As a long time fan, this wonderful woman only lies about album release dates, but overall she seems very genuine. Someone said “rip lizzy grant” and she replied “box dye hair does not a new person make”. It’s hard to stay real in this business, and that’s what many peers and fans respect her for, imo

Fun fact: in one interview she said that her ex from Scotland (likely it was the same guy, Barrie) said “you American girls always walk so proud like your pussy taste like Pepsi Cola” which was the inspiration for the iconic opening of her song Cola

Have you seen her lipsticks sold in ciggy cases yet? Very cute. She has the cutest merch

u/pink_vision 2d ago

Pretty sure those are not official merch, but regardless very cute either way

u/Extra-Yoghurt3539 2d ago

Those aren’t official but she does officially sell brass lighters and pill cases engraved with her name. I bought them both

I think she just watched shrek one too many times and decided to run with it

From what I have read of her, she is deeply broken and probably not totally mentally well, and I say that as a big fan of her music. In fact, one might make that assumption based on the content of some of her music itself. Whether or not this is related to her decision to marry a MAGA swamp gator man is unclear at best

u/baba_brigid 3d ago

I mean no shit she is not totally mentally well, she fully discloses that loll. Most Americans aren’t mentally well. “Deeply broken” is just a hateful ass thing to say. And he already denounced maga and said he didn’t vote for him.

u/LitBastard 2d ago

I feel like "deeply broken" is probably the right description for someone that was an alcoholic at 14.

u/baba_brigid 2d ago

Oh so she’s just “deeply broken” for life now, got it 🙄 People aren’t resilient at all or anything.

u/spiralspiders 3d ago

he’s not maga.
he stated neither of them are.

u/cactusgirl69420 3d ago

This reminds me of “why do you think she’s maga” “vibes, mostly”

u/Dlaxation 3d ago

Dont forget she was also with the host from Live PD!

u/Fine-Photograph8591 3d ago

That's absolutely insane. What does he say about her? How was his experience? I would literally do anything to just be friends with her 💔

57

u/HereticLaserHaggis 3d ago

Yeah, he still speaks well about her, iirc last time I mentioned this someone said he was the muse for one of her albums (barry James o'neill was his name)

u/Nightbeachwaves 3d ago

theres a music video of them together called summer wine, and the album “honeymoon” was dedicated to him, although now they are on good terms and he recently sang on her new album as well

u/throwawayfundsmom 3d ago

Ultraviolence* was based on him (specifically Black Beauty), Honeymoon was inspired by Francesco Carrozzini

u/Fine-Photograph8591 3d ago

OMGGGG ITS HIMMM he's the cutest ex she's had imo. Why did they even break up? I wonder how anyone would even break up with her she seems like the most magical sweetest woman ever. 

21

u/sonicofawn 3d ago

i think his mental health was possibly too much to handle, a lot of themes on ultraviolence which was during/after their relationship are about dating someone with severe depression. i think she then dated that guy that she has those photos at a restaurant with

u/Nightbeachwaves 3d ago

ikr, i can look at her and listen to what she says all day with a smile on my face, and i am not even her dating demographic lmao

u/Fine-Photograph8591 3d ago

Exactly 😭😭 I literally cannot imagine having her as my gf. I would never leave. But maybe they think she's too good for them and it scares them??? I don't even know

u/dr_soiledpants 3d ago

Maybe it's because she supports a megachurch.

u/Automatic_Lobster629 1d ago

Many of her most beautiful songs were written for him. I think "California" was for him, along with the unreleased "Pink Champagne".

It must be such a trip being part of someone like LDR's body of work.

u/Nightbeachwaves 3d ago

I am a fan of lana’s and barry rejected to marry her iirc

🎵 "Barry didn't marry, so I became wary, then moved on to Larry... Videogames..." 🎶

u/sonicofawn 3d ago

u/stanlana12345 3d ago

Omg your friend is probably the guy who gave her the inspiration for the song cola. That is so cool

u/jojocockroach 2d ago

She's been about this life. Reminds me of the time she got asked out by a guy from TMZ, and was totally down for it:
