She boasts six Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, and a Golden Globe Award to her name.
Lana Del Rey was born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant in 1995 in New York City, NY. When she was a year old, her family moved to Lake Placid, NY. There, she began singing in her local church as a cantor in the girls’ choir.
At age 14, the singer began struggling with alcohol as a way to cope with depression and anxiety. She was sent to boarding school by her parents to get her sober. After graduating, she lived on Long Island for a year with her aunt and uncle. Her uncle taught her to play the guitar in between her waitressing shifts. Soon after, she began writing her own songs.
Grant moved back to New York City in 2004, where she enrolled at Fordham University. The philosophy major began performing at nightclubs under different names, like “Sparkle Jump Rope Queen.”
In 2006, Grant appeared at the Williamsburg Live Songwriting Competition. There, she met A&R representative Van Wilson of 5 Points Records who ended up signing her. After graduating in 2008, she released a three-track EP, Kill Kill, under the name Lizzie Grant. Her planned album was later shelved by the label, and the singer focused her efforts instead on homeless outreach and supporting those in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
In 2010, Grant released a self-titled debut album as the alter-ego Lana Del Rey. The album was released in early that year, but was soon pulled from the shelves by the singer because she didn’t believe the label was doing enough to publicize it.
In 2011, Lana Del Rey uploaded homemade music videos for her songs “Video Games” and “Blue Jeans” to YouTube. The video for “Video Games” went viral, catching the attention of Stranger Records. The label later signed her and released the song as her debut single. The same month, she signed a joint deal with Interscope and Polydor Records to release her second studio album.
Born to Die dropped in 2012, supported by four more singles. The song “Summertime Sadness” peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it Del Rey’s highest charting single in the U.S. to date. Critics responded with mixed reviews; some praised the album for its distinct sound, while others complained it was too melodramatic. Among fans, though, it was a hit. The album sold 3.4 million copies in its first year and spent 36 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.
In support of Born to Die, Del Rey made high-profile appearances at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, and the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. She also appeared on the TV shows Later with Jools Holland and Saturday Night Live.
Following the release of Born to Die, Del Rey won a number of awards, including an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Alternative Act and a Brit Award for Best International Female Solo Artist. In 2012, she reissued her second album as Born to Die: The Paradise Edition. The expanded album featured eight new singles, which were also made available on the standalone EP, Paradise. Three of the singles comprised the soundtrack for Lana Del Rey’s 2013 short film, Tropico, directed by Anthony Mandler.
Del Rey’s follow-up album, Ultraviolence, arrived in 2014. With its title drawn from Anthony Burgess’ dystopian novel, A Clockwork Orange, the album was produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach and featured the singles “West Coast,” “Shades of Cool,” and “Ultraviolence.” While Ultraviolence was darker and more stripped-back than its predecessor, it has nevertheless garnered similar success, debuting at number one in 12 countries and selling over 880,000 copies in its first week.
In 2015, Lana Del Rey released her fourth studio album, Honeymoon, which marked a return to the more baroque-pop style of her earlier work. The album debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and peaked at number one in three countries. It was supported by the singles “High by the Beach” and “Music to Watch Boys To.”
Two years later, in 2017, the singer followed up with a hip-hop inspired album, Lust for Life. It debuted at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, making it Lana Del Rey’s second number-one album. The title track, featuring The Weeknd, peaked at number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Lana Del Rey’s career showed no signs of slowing down from there. Her sixth studio album, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, was released in August 2019. The soft-rock record received widespread acclaim and was nominated for two Grammys. That September, Del Rey was featured on the single “Don’t Call Me Angel” with Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus. The song appeared on the soundtrack for the 2019 movie Charlie’s Angels.
In 2020, the singer released her first book — a collection of poetry and photography named Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass. The book was accompanied by a corresponding spoken word album.
Lana Del Rey’s seventh studio album, Chemtrails over the Country Club, dropped in March 2021. This folk record debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming the singer’s seventh Top 10 album in the U.S. She followed it up with Blue Banisters, her eighth studio album, that October. It debuted at number eight on the same chart.
At the beginning of 2022, Lana Del Rey released a new song, “Watercolor Eyes,” which was featured on the soundtrack for the second season of the TV series Euphoria. The singer is currently working on her ninth studio album.

Santo & Johnny were a musical duo from Brooklyn who had a #1 hit with an instrumental song titled “Sleep Walk”. That was back in 1959. Highlights from the Red Rocks season that year included Ricky Nelson and Harry Belfonte. Elizabeth Woolridge Grant wouldn’t be born for another 26 years. She wouldn’t arrive at Red Rocks for another two decades. The first time the young singer-songwriter gazed upon the stage in Morrison, she made herself a promise – one day she would perform on that stage. If I were with her on that day, I would have encouraged the 19-year-old Lizzy Grant, but I wouldn’t have bet on her. Not until I’d seen her shed her skin and become someone else entirely would I have believed she was capable of packing every seat with hysterical, screaming fans. Some will argue that Grant never actually achieved her goal. They will say that the girl who played acoustic guitar and sang coffeeshop love songs had to die in order for someone else to be born. That’s not entirely true though. Lizzy Grant is still very much alive. No matter how self-destructive Lana Del Rey might seem, she is only a character that Grant plays on stage. Living fast, dying young, and leaving a beautiful corpse isn’t a new concept, but it’s also not one Grant lives by.
Lana Del Rey is the one who thinks she lives in Brooklyn in the ’60s. She is the one who takes the stage to Santo & Johnny as if they are generational peers. She’s in the little blue dress and designer pumps. She smokes cigarettes and sings songs about sex, drugs and booze. She glamorizes dying young and leaving that beautiful face forever unchanged. Lana Del Rey does all of this so Lizzy Grant can achieve her goals. She does all of this so Lizzy Grant can make a living. Lana Del Rey sacrifices herself so Lizzy Grant can live a long, comfortable life, free from all those tragic things Lana Del Rey sings about. Lana Del Rey is the reason Lizzy has been able to sell out two consecutive shows at Red Rocks.
I just hope the thousands of young girls with flowered headbands understand this truth about Lana Del Rey. I hope they understand that the persona is pure entertainment and marketing genius. I hope they understand that she is not a role model. Luckily, my daughter does understand this. That’s why I don’t mind her listening to Lana Del Rey albums and going to Lana Del Rey concerts. But I would be lying if I said it didn’t make me a little nervous to be surrounded by teenage girls last night…each one screaming the following lyrics with such joy…
“I got your bible and your gun,
And you love to party and have fun.
And I love your women and all of your heroin,
And I’m so happy now that you’re gone.”

I saw Lana in Brisbane at Riverstage during the Lust For Life tour, and I cannot express how talented she is. The show was amazing, she had an amazing set up and the venue was beautiful, as was her voice. Her opener was BØRNS and his music was a perfect way to open the show and got everyone hyped for Lana. Bless her soul, she came on stage during BØRNS's set and welcomed everyone and thanked us all for showing support for BØRNS, which was a beautiful thing and I can promise you I cried the second she started talking. The $119 was entirely worth it, and although I never made it to the mosh, the lucky souls who got close enough got to take selfies, give her presents, and just talk with her in the middle of her set. She has so much respect for her fans, some of which I met at the show, and they were some amazing people. Lana perfomed songs from all her albums and her sound setup was clear and loud. I wish she had played Groupie Love or God Bless America - And All The Beautiful Women In It, but I got to hear her perform songs I never thought I'd get to hear live and the four years worth of waiting for her to come back to Australia was entirely worth it. If you like her music, I highly recommend taking the opportunity to see her play because she is a literal goddess and that concert blew all my expectations out of the water. By far the best live perfomance I've seen.

Journeying from a small-town singer-songwriter back at age 18, Lana Del Rey skyrocketed through the music industry, landing herself a slot in the top 10 album charts by the age of 21. Her music is noted for its cinematic sounds and reflections on 50s and 60s music culture. Although her live performances can sometimes be slightly pitchy, you can’t blame her performing to such large audiences, and she never fails to put on a spectacular show.
Always looking flawless, Lana carries herself with grace and confidence, both appealing characteristics of a live performer. Whilst her live performances are magical and the sound of her beautiful melodies transcends through the audience, in some ways she is an artist meant for recording purposes. Her dulcet tones tend to get lost in a stadium, however this could be the fault of sound technicians rather than Lana herself.
Regardless of this, if you are a fan of her music, I would recommend checking her our live, as the emotion that she portrays through her music is extremely powerful to experience first hand. She also has great moments of interaction with the audience, so if you are able to secure a spot in a front row seat, you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely phenomenal. I joke with my friends that after going to this concert, it was a night that I had died and became reborn again. The venue, the Atlanta Tabernacle was beautiful and perfectly fit for her. As a Lana groupie, the amazing connection among the fans there made it feel like I was amongst family. It was almost magical the feeling I received when everyone in the room sang her hits together in unison, because everyone knew all the words. General Admission tickets are encouraged for people who are interested in meeting Lana. She spent so much time talking and taking photos with her fans, signing autographs, everything with her fans. She pays so much attention to them during her concerts, If you have a genuine desire to meet her, I'd say camping out and waiting for hours is definitely worth it.
She has her props and they compliment her performance very nicely. Her voice is beautiful live and she sang songs from each of her albums. Although I was disappointed that she didn't sing Yayo or Diet Mountain Dew, as I had hoped. I would easily say that this night was the greatest of my life. So much so, that I purchased tickets for Music Midtown just to see her again.

The show had an excellent, very relaxed vibe. Lana put on an amazing performance and had a number of guest artists come up on stage with her to perform as well. She seemed to be enjoying herself. As always her voice sounded like warm honey and rung out with a powerful yet melancholic air. She truly is like a goddess on this earth. When my ex said she'd leave me for Lana I couldn't even blame her; I'd leave me for Lana too.
I wish I had gone with a group of people, instead of alone, so I could more properly enjoy the atmosphere on the floor.
The visuals and sound of the concert were good, not too loud (compared to some concerts), and pretty nicely balanced. Overall it was an excellent experience. Only ways it might have been improved for me is: coming with friends, being mildly intoxicated, and being able to actually see the stage properly/being closer to the front, or being on the ground on a blanket or quilt lounging.
I definitely recommend experiencing a show of hers if you are a fan and get the chance. Go with friends or a significant other, and enjoy the raw power and energy Lana gives off.

The choice of environment was absolutely perfect, I could see clearly how the medieval castle and the sunset would match Lana's dreamy vocals. The thing is, it took a while for Lana herself to appear. We waited from 3pm to about 7 or 8pm, with the guest appearances of some really weird rapper that couldn't be more different from the main act and the handsome Tamino, who blew everyone away with his music. But when Lana finally showed up on stage it was pure magic. It was very well decorated with her traditional old Hollywood romantic style. Lana was very interactive and talked to the crowd while signing records and posters on long instrumental moments of Venice Bitch. She was as sweet as possible and we were left questioning if it hadn't been all a dream.

I bought my tickets as soon as the presale started and was thrilled to score pit tickets. Unfortunately, the concert I had been looking forward to for months made me miserable. The pit was completely packed with sweaty fans who were drunk and high. During my time there, I got a frozen margarita accidentally poured on me, got puked on, got my hair pulled, butt grabbed, and got my back completely scratched (by fans who thought they would get a better view if they sunk their nails into my skin.) I now know better than to buy pit tickets. I am so sad to say that I left early and couldn't finish seeing my favorite artist because of the terrible pit circumstances.

Lana del Rey is truly a godess. This was my second time seeing her in concert and it did not ever let me down or disappoint me, just like the first time I saw her. She sang beautifully and heavily interacted with the crowd which made it feel personal and intimate. I wish she would have sang more from untraviolence, but I was happy to hear some of the classics again. The only problem I had with this concert was the organization of the venue. There was a "no lining up" rule which caused for very hectic and stressed out fans. All in all it was absolutely amazing and I can not wait to see Lana again in concert. I would even go back to this venue for her.

After months worth of hype and buying my tickets as soon as possible, I couldn't wait to see Lana Del Rey, but unfortunately, it wasn't worth the hype at all. Lana's show essentially bored me, and sure, you could argue it was just 'her style' of music. But I've been to quieter shows, and this one just lacked any sort of energy despite having a whole arena in her palm. She singed her melodies with ease, but throughout, I could never get into the music and by the time I could, her set was already over. Overall, Lana is perhaps worth seeing cheap, but at $60 a ticket for mediocre seats, I can't recommend her.

I did not think it was possible but Lana Del Rey sounds even more incredible live than in studio. The only negative thing was that the doors opened pretty early and she came on a little later on so the wait was around 2 hours with no music or support act, however it was completely worth it once the show started and she sounded absolutely angelic. The set list seemed a little short but had a great selection of songs from throughout her career from Born to Die to Ride to Music to Watch Boys to and White Mustang. I'd definitely recommend going to her shows at least once in your life if you are a fan.
