Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain are engaged in a public feud, intensified by comments from Cain's sister referring to Del Rey's recent performances. Del Rey's new track, which appears to poke fun at Cain, has drawn attention, with lyrics suggesting past relationships. Mixed reactions to Del Rey's performances have surfaced, especially about her use of holograms during shows. The situation further unfolds with Cain's highlighted connection to country music, reflected in their respective upcoming albums.
In a since-deleted post on Instagram Stories, Cain's sister Delilah responded to Del Rey penning a track about Cain, by referencing the 'Video Games' singer's recent string of shows across the UK and Ireland. 'I can't wait to watch your hologram perform this 'diss track' while you hit your vape backstage diva @honeymoon,' she wrote. 'What inspired you to suddenly make a country album?'
The tension between Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain escalated publicly on 13 August, with Del Rey posting a video of her listening to a snippet of a new song she'd written about trans singer Cain. 'Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post, think it's cute reenacting my Chicago pose,' she trills in the opening lyrics.
Fan and critic reviews of Del Rey's recent tour were mixed, with some complaining about a number of the songs being performed via a hologram of the singer. Del Rey's upcoming, much-delayed and as-yet untitled 10th studio album is also said to be country-tinged, a genre which Cain has loosely weaved into her work, particularly on her ambient debut record Preacher's Daughter.
After Cain's sister's comments gained traction on social media, she wrote in a second Instagram Stories post: 'Keep Cryingggggg.' Fans were swift to determine that Del Rey was referring to a 2024 photo of Cain with Jack Donoghue.
