• Lana Del Rey Wasn’t Working at Waffle House for Clout

At first glance, Waffle House #1283 just seems like any other Waffle House. The Florence, Alabama location of the all-day breakfast chain is just down the street from a Jiffy Lube and a car wash, serves its hash browns scattered, smothered, and covered, and hasn’t yet OK-ed online ordering. But this Waffle House is undoubtedly the only Waffle House in America where your All-Star Special could’ve been served by six-time Grammy nominee Lana Del Rey. The restaurant is located in Florence, Alabama, a town mentioned in the lyrics to one of the singer's recent tracks.

Twitter[11] user @LDRBUZZ reposed the image that day, garnering over 26,000 likes in a similar timeframe. Of all the extremely random and out of place celebrity sightings this summer, Lana Del Rey popping up, not only at an Alabama Waffle House, but also clocking in to work a shift might have topped them all. In photos taken by onlookers, the songstress was seen tending to customers and snapping selfies with employees (all while keeping a very sturdy grip on her infamous vape). After seeing Del Rey donning the chain’s blue button-up uniforms, many fans thought the singer might be switching to a career in serving, but she revealed that it wasn’t nearly that serious. “We were on our third hour, and the servers asked, ‘Do you guys want shirts?

In the before pictures, the singer was slim, but in the after pictures, she had added a few pounds. The account that originally shared the pictures was deleted, but they have since been reshared by another Twitter account, @ChampagneCheri9. This isn't the first time Lana has been a target online, as she was once cruelly trolled by a few people defending her. Lizzy's unsuccessful songs, appearances, and album were scrubbed from the internet. Their existence was replaced with Lana's appearance on major talk shows, songs that topped charts, and albums that crept to top numbers on pre-sales alone. It's possible that the visit could be linked to a song from her new album, "Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd."

The singer came into the music industry as Lizzy Grant, but she wasn't successful or popular. She even released an album that sank virtually with no trace. Later that day, Today[12] published a story highlighting several photos and theories fans had about why Del Rey was working at the Waffle House. One fan stopped by the restaurant with a poster from her new album, hoping for a signature.

"Sometimes I wonder what his wife would think if she knew that I didn't know anything / He's born in December and I'm born in June / He's born in December and he got married while we were in couple's therapy together." The singer's fans seemed unphazed by the news and have praised the star for giving an unforgettable performance at the festival. Coachella can be a wild time for fans and musicians alike with hundreds of thousands of people vibing out to their favorite artists together. More users trolled Lana because she added weight, with some even saying that for them to listen to her music, she would first have to lose weight. "Also Lana del Rey is my favorite artist, but that doesn't mean I have to lie because she really looks bad nowadays," another person noted. On July 24th, the official @bratz Instagram[10] page posted a mock-up of a Bratz doll made to resemble Lana Del Rey working at Waffle House, garnering over 157,000 likes in a day (shown below).

"She was there, wearing a uniform and everything," said one fan who met the singer at the restaurant. Appearance came a month after Del Rey released her new album, titled Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. Friend and fan Taylor Swift called the new music "extraordinary" when she gave Del Rey a shout-out during a Las Vegas Eras Tour stop in March. One fan posted a selfie with the singer at the Waffle House on Facebook, along with a signed copy of the singer's poetry book, “Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass." Most notably the Financial Times, Daily Express, Evening Standard and Newsweek.

She also offered a few more details about one of the videos that emerged from the unexpected shift, though it wasn’t totally clear which one. In one, she hands something to a customer and frets over the recording, just in case the man doesn’t want to be filmed; while in another, she kneels next to a different customer and sings a bit of “Amazing Grace” with him. Last week we discussed Hillshire Farm recalling 15,000 pounds of smoked sausage. Tuttle additionally also appears to have met Del Rey prior to the singer’s adventure at the diner chain, posing for photos out of uniform in a July 19 post.

And it’s essentially that the girl just really loves a good, small-town breakfast spot. It turned out, as AL.com previously reported, Del Rey was in town visiting family in the Florence area. The “Video Games” singer recently performed at Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England, although her set was cut short due to a strict curfew at the venue after the artist was late to the stage.

The guts of the interview focus on Del Rey’s unique songwriting, prolific recording pace, influence on female popstars like Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo, and her journey from polarizing artist to living legend. Welcome to Delicious or Distressing, where we rate recent food memes, videos, and other entertainment news. Last week we discussed the rumor circulating on TikTok that Europeans don’t believe in water.

“Just Lana Del Rey working as a waitress at a restaurant,” the caption for lanadelreybr's Instagram post read. “is this what she meant when she said she wanted to explore other career paths in that one speech,” wrote one fan on LanaBoards. LANITA ❤️ I have been a huuuge fan of Lana Del Rey for over a decade, so meeting her today was truly insane,” wrote Karina Cisneros Juarez on Facebook. Del Rey explained that while wearing her uniform, a Waffle House manager asked the star to fulfill a simple request. On Sept. 20, Del Rey gave an interview to the Hollywood Reporter, reflecting on her career so far, musicians who count themselves among her admirers, including Bruce Springsteen and Billie Eilish. Specifically, the singer changed the song's outro in such a way that implied Larkin got married to someone else before his relationship to Del Rey was officially over.

At the end of her stay before leaving for a concert in Arkansas, she also did an impromptu recording session at legendary Sheffield recording studio Muscle Shoals Sound. That July morning, she’d been at the Florence Waffle House with her brother and sister for three hours hanging out. From the wording of O’Connell’s lede, it sounds like Del Rey and fam had been stopping in at that Waffle House for several days, sitting at the same booth each visit. After, the restaurant’s manager, who goes unnamed in the interview, posted a short clip to Facebook, which set off the rumor mill.

In July, Lana Del Rey was spotted appearing to work at Waffle House, uniform and all. Naturally, the internet went berserk, flooding Twitter with memes and wondering why the acclaimed singer-songwriter, whose debut album just charted for a historic 500th week on the Billboard 200, would pick up an extra job. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Sept. 20, the Grammy nominee addressed those viral photos and footage of her working at the diner in Florence, Ala., explaining how the brief gig came about. The singer’s Waffle House visit went viral after the restaurant’s manager posted a short video clip to Facebook. Selfies fans who’d recognized Del Rey had taken also hit socials.
