Fact Check: Did Lana Del Rey kiss her sister? TikTok cult trend goes viral 

Lana Del Rey has taken over TikTok, with many fans worshiping her on the video-sharing platform and forming the 'Lana Cult.' Amid this trend, pictures of the singer kissing her sister Chuck Grant have gone viral on TikTok. The picture of Lana Del Rey kissing her sister is real.

According to the Independent, the photograph of the two kissing was taken in 2012, and Grant happened to be the photographer as well. Many fans had assumed that Lana Del Rey was kissing Jennifer Lawrence in the picture when it was her sister.

Chuck Grant has since come forward and cleared the air. She joked that it's "comforting" to know she could act as the Hunger Games actress's "stand-in." Chuck Grant said in an interview:

“Getting a lot of messages about looking like Jennifer Lawrence, but this takes it a bit too far, don’t you think? Lana del Rey and Jennifer Lawrence. Comforting to think that if my photography were to fail I could probably work as Jennifer Lawrence’s stand-in… #sisters.”

Although Grant has confirmed that she is the person in the picture, neither of the sisters has commented on why the photographs were taken.
