Lana Del Reydoesn’t justpick up shifts at Waffle House— she sings at dive bars, too!
As she walked up on the dive bar stage, the “Summertime Sadness” musician received a sweet introduction: “If you guys cheer loud enough, she might move all the way to Nashville, Tennessee. She is a sensation, she is the most country motherf—er in Robert’s tonight, Lana Del Rey.”
After seeming to confirm with the guitarist that the band knew how to play the 1968 Wynette country-pop hit, the alternative artist, who donned a bow in her hair and sported a sweater, floral skirt and cowboy boots, took to the microphone. Frequently smiling throughout the surprise performance, Del Rey thrilled the crowd when she crooned the song’s powerful chorus.
