“I guess kissing me kind of went to his head,” Del Rey sang as she debuted the new song, “57.5”
Lana Del Rey had a huge confession (and a little diss) to make at Stagecoach. While performing her new song “57.5” Friday night, the musician revealed she and Morgan Wallen once shared a kiss.
“I kissed Morgan Wallen/I guess kissing me kind of went to his head,” Del Rey sang. “If you want my secret to success/I suggest don’t go ATVing with him when you’re out west.”
The confession came after Del Rey — dressed in a red dress à la “Summertime Sadness” — alerted the crowd: “This is the last time I’m ever going to say this line.” After the Wallen confession, Del Rey made it clear: “Now I got a man, he really loves me… A fan of mine,” seemingly about her husband Jeremy Dufrene whom she alluded was in the audience.
The song title, “57.5,” was an ode to the number of fans she has, as she repeated the refrain “57.5 million listeners on Spotify” in the chorus of the song.
Del Rey’s Stagecoach performance featured three new songs set to appear on her 10th studio album, The Right Person Will Stay, which is expected later this year. She opened her Palomino Stage hourlong set with “Husband of Mine,” about Dufrene, and also played a new track titled “Quiet in the South.”
Early in her performance, the singer welcomed George Birge for a duet of his song “Cowboy Songs,” and also played her There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd standout “Let the Light In” alongside Alabama duo the Secret Sisters. During the performance, she also played classics “Summertime Sadness,” “Ride,” and Blue Banisters‘ “Arcadia.”
Last year, Del Rey performed at Stagecoach alongside Paul Cauthen to perform “Unchained Melody.” She also headlined Coachella last year.
