Lana Del Rey has been photographed in Alabama in recent days, including at a Starbucks, a nail salon, and a pizza parlour.
The “Summertime Sadness” singer, however, was spotted in social media images serving customers at Waffle House while dressed in a sky-blue uniform. The name “Lana” was even imprinted on the front of her name tag.
Fans took pictures with Del Rey at the chain’s Florence, Alabama, store, and someone recorded a video of the singer reportedly stating to another worker, “Oh, look at this man. Oh, Charlie, please do not videotape him without his consent.”
According to footage and images of the short interaction, Del Rey was spotted earlier this week autographing a fan’s arm in permanent marker and urging the admirer, “Don’t ever do that,” in reference to people getting tattoos of her name.
She was also seen eating at a pizza restaurant in Florence and sleeping at a nearby Marriott. She was also seen in Birmingham, Alabama, which is roughly a two-hour journey south.
Fans ran across the “Young and Beautiful” singer at a manicure salon and a Starbucks.
It’s unknown why she’s been in Alabama and why she’s been working at a Waffle House. Del Rey’s agent did not immediately reply to The Times’ requests for comment.
AL.com contacted around with local recording facilities, including FAME facilities and Muscle Shoals Sound, to see whether Del Rey was recording there, but she was not. Her most recent CD, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” was released in March. In August, she will perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago and Outside Lands in San Francisco, but she has no plans to appear in the South or nearby regions.
However, the news source also claimed that Del Rey may have given us a hint in the second stanza of her new album’s song “Paris, Texas”: “I took a train to Spain, just a notebook in my hand / Then I went to see some friends of mine, down in Florence, Alabama.”
Is there going to be a new music video? Those pals may be found at Waffle House.
