About this listen
The past week in the world of Lana Del Rey has delivered a headline-grabbing swirl of controversy, music, and global buzz. First and loudest Lana ignited both the alt-pop sphere and mainstream gossip feeds by previewing a new track on Instagram, rumored to be titled All About Ethel, with direct lyrical shots at fellow songwriter Ethel Cain. The snippet begins pointedly with Lana drawling Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post Think its cute reenacting my Chicago pose, a clear reference to the now-infamous photo Ethel Cain took with Lana’s ex Jack Donoghue of Salem, deliberately echoing a past image of Lana and Jack in Chicago. Jack Antonoff, Lana’s frequent collaborator, was tagged, only amping up fan speculation about its inclusion on her upcoming album. The song doubled down with lines about the most famous girl at the Waffle House, a sly dig at the 2022 New York Times profile that branded Cain with that exact phrase and a nod to Lana’s own viral Alabama Waffle House shift last year. According to Billboard’s coverage, Lana expanded on the feud in a since-deleted comment, claiming she was initially disturbed by Cain circulating graphic side-by-side images of Lana next to “unflattering creatures and cartoon characters,” accompanied by repeated comments about Lana’s weight. Lana also alleged Ethel had inserted herself into her personal life via mutual friends, making things uncomfortably personal.
Public reactions were immediate and fast-moving. Ethel Cain fired back on Instagram Stories, simply announcing Lana had blocked her, before deactivating her own Instagram. As reported by The Independent, representatives for both artists have yet to offer official statements, but the online fallout has seen fan forums rally to both sides, while industry analysts question whether this is authentic animosity or a shrewdly timed marketing play. Vulture notes that to date, unflattering photos Cain allegedly shared have not surfaced and the deeper context behind the personal rift remains murky.
Meanwhile, it hasn’t been all drama for Lana. Just days earlier, she performed a sold-out concert in Lebanon—photos from the show flooded fan accounts, drawing praise for her on-stage style and presence. Adding fuel to the public fascination, TikTok chatter is growing around her upcoming appearance on the talk show Mudrasta, set for August 20, which could see Lana address recent developments or unveil more about her next musical chapter. All told, the headlines this week have Lana Del Rey back in global conversation, blending chart-bound anticipation with real-life soap opera drama, reminding everyone her magnetism—musical and otherwise—remains undimmed.
