Lana Del Rey: ‘People talking about me makes my success bittersweet’

Singer opens up about her sudden rise to fame


Lana Del Rey has admitted that people constantly talking about her has made her rise to fame “bittersweet”.

The singer, who shot to stardom after her video for ‘Video Games’ made her a YouTube sensation, told Billboard that her career had taken a “funny turn” since her increase in popularity.

She said:

I’d rather it was just as simple as being just the songs and no one else taking about it at all, because it makes things more bittersweet instead of just clear and easy. It just seems to have taken a funny turn.
