Lana Del Rey’s gloomy music provides the perfect soundtrack for a dimly light cigar lounge. But, the “Video Games” singer actually prefers vapes. In a now-viral video, Lana appears to have allowed her love for the latest e-smoking trend to momentarily delay her performance at Hangout Festival 2024.
Yesterday (May 18), while making her way to the stage, Lana was stopped by fans on the sideline. The festivalgoers appear to have offered Lana a pull of their vape. At first, Lana politely declined. “No, I can’t,” she said.
However, after further encouragement, she gave in and took a hit. After the clip was shared to X (formerly Twitter) users online began to freak out in disgust.
“Mother, I love you, but you shouldn’t be using strangers’ vapes,” wrote one user.

Fans across TikTok have shared clips of Lana’s usage of vapes at previous concerts and festival appearances. In one performance video, Lana stopped mid-set to declare: “My vape is killing me.”
