Lana Del Rey Sings About Kissing Morgan Wallen, Covers Tammy Wynette and John Denver, and Goes Swinging in Unpredictable Stagecoach Set


Lana Del Rey's "country" set at Stagecoach ranged from a new song referring to kissing Morgan Wallen to a cover of Tammy Wynette's "Stand by Your Man."

Certainly there will be no bigger startled laugh in the history of Stagecoach past, present or future than the one Del Rey got by name-checking no less a fellow superstar than Morgan Wallen, as part of a new song called “57.5.” This would be in contrast to the audience at home, likely equally transfixed but with pen in hand, trying to jot down every discernible lyric of the songs that were getting first-time performances — not just “57.5” but “Husband of Mine” (the probable name, at least, of the new tune that opened the show”) and “Quiet in the South.” It really wasn’t even a duet: She seemed happy just to sing backup on his new single, “Cowboy Songs.” And after it was over, she asked if they could repeat the chorus a cappella, just because her in-ears weren’t working and she wanted to make sure everyone in the crowd could hear the tune even if she couldn’t.
