On Friday, Lana Del Rey took the stage at the Stagecoach Festival 2025. During her 65-minute set, Lana previewed a new song titled 57.5. However, what really caught netizens' attention was a particular portion of the song where the singer referenced kissing country musician Morgan Wallen.
"I kissed Morgan Wallen/I guess kissing me kind of went to his head/ If you want my secret to success/I suggest don't go ATVing with him when you’re out west," Lana sang.

Lana Del Rey is set to release her upcoming album in country genre
Lana Del Rey's most recently released song, Bluebird, dropped on April 18. It is set to be part of her upcoming tenth studio album, The Right Person Will Stay. For the unversed, this album was initially titled Lasso before being renamed.
Apart from Bluebird, the singer also released another song, Henry, Come On, on April 11, 2025. She revealed the album's initial title at the beginning of last year. According to reports by Pitchfork, the album was originally expected to be released in September 2024.
In February 2024, Lana told Billboard:
"If you can’t already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country. We’re going country. It’s happening. That’s why [producer] Jack [Antonoff] has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years."
Lana's entry into the country music domain had been widely anticipated. Back in 2021, she told MOJO that she had recorded an entire album with only country music. Talking about her involvement in this genre, in December 2023, Lana Del Rey posted a cover of John Denver's classic Take Me Home, Country Roads.
As for the Stagecoach Festival 2025, several other stars apart from Lana Del Rey were part of the lineup. The three-day event began on April 25 and is set to continue through April 27. The lineup for the first day included artists like Lana, 49 Winchester, and Carly Pearce.
