Lana Del Rey's Provocative Post-GRAMMYs Photo Sparks Outrage Among Fans

Published February 7, 2024

Pop sensation Lana Del Rey is no stranger to stirring the pot and grabbing the spotlight. In her latest act that has people talking, she uploaded a provocative photo in which she's seen holding a handg*n. The controversial image, part of a gallery on her Instagram, seemed to convey her disappointment after the GRAMMYs ceremony.

GRAMMYs Disappointment

Lana Del Rey went into the GRAMMYs with high hopes, backed by an impressive five nominations spanning across several categories, including Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album. Yet, despite the critical acclaim, Del Rey ended the night without a single trophy, leaving her fanbase in an uproar. As if echoing their sentiment, Del Rey's curious photo, thought to be taken in a hotel room, followed a series of more typical ceremonial snapshots with fellow stars like Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff.

Fan Reactions

The fans didn't hold back their feelings. From declaring the GRAMMYs a promise rather than a threat to asserting Del Rey's deserved victory, the comments under her post encapsulated the collective discontent. The aforementioned handg*n photo, tucked at the end of her GRAMMYs album, was described by one fan as a snapshot 'after the queen was snubbed.'

Lana's Perspective on the GRAMMYs

In a more light-hearted vein, Del Rey had shared her excitement over the GRAMMYs earlier, noting it as 'just such a fun day'. Despite her losses, she remained grateful for the nominations and the opportunity to put herself out there. She expressed a sense of naivety regarding the process, revealing her lack of knowledge about the need to submit work for consideration and the GRAMMYs' rule changes that affected her eligibility for Album of the Year recognition, despite featuring prominently on Taylor Swift's 'Midnights'.
