Elsewhere, the ‘Blue Jeans’ singer reflected on being cut off at Glastonbury earlier this year, suggesting she wasn’t aware the consequences would be quite so severe if she started late.

“I’ve heard of curfews before,” she told the Sunday Times. “But I didn’t know they actually turned the lights off! I didn’t feel great about it, but I was a little confused because I don’t think I was ever in a position where somebody said, ‘If you do not finish by this time, everything will go out.’”

Del Rey also made a cameo in Bleachers’ music video for their new single ‘Alma Mater’.

Her track ‘A&W’ landed the top spot on NME‘s 50 best songs of 2023 list with NME‘s Sophie Williams sharing: The seven-minute ‘A&W’ made for a masterful, devastatingly gorgeous summation of her career: it plumbed the loss of innocence and youth, while also speaking to societal expectations of what womanhood should look like.

“Elastic trap beats and quickening piano keys compounded a crackling, persistence of dread as Del Rey’s performance grew steadily in intensity. “I’m a princess / I’m divisive / Ask me why I’m like this,” she sang, drawing us close and holding us rapt.”

Del Rey’s LP, ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’, also made it on to NME’s The best albums of 2023 list, landing the 23rd spot.
