Lana Del Rey Explains Viral Waffle House Photos, Thoughts on Billie Eilish & Olivia Rodrigo & Addresses Lack of TV Promo Since 'SNL' Performance

On pictures of her in a Waffle House uniform that went viral:

“I wish my album had gone as viral. I woke up to, like, 10,000 texts the next morning — some from folks I had not heard from for 10 years. ‘Saw your picture at the Waffle House!” (Laughing.) I was like, “Did you hear the new album?’”

On why she was in uniform:

“Lana Del Rey never intended to punch in for a quickie Waffle House shift. But after seven days of seeing the same faces during a visit to Florence, Alabama, and a July morning’s worth of shooting the sh-t with her brother and sister in the same plastic booth, the singer-songwriter found herself wearing the Southern chain’s familiar uniform: a polycotton, working-class blue button-up garnished with a name tag bearing the crudely stickered letters L-A-N-A. ‘We were on our third hour, and the servers asked, ‘Do you guys want shirts?’’ she says. ‘Hell yeah! We were thrilled.’”
