Lana Del Rey is featured in the February 25, 2023 issue of Billboard magazine. The photoshoot was photographed by Lia Clay Miller on January 27, 2023 at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. Lana’s hair was by Sheridan Ward at Walter Schupfer Management, with makeup by Etienne Ortega at The Only Agency. In the interview, Lana speaks to Kristin Robinson about her upcoming album, which is her most personal yet. She talks about starting out in the industry, the creative process behind ‘Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, collaborating with Taylor Swift, and more.
Can you remember what it felt like creatively when you were just starting out?
I think back to the beginning, being in New York. I would just go to a little deli by Grand Central and all you had to do to sit at the table for hours was buy a black coffee. I remember thinking, “I’m doing it. I’m living it.” It was all very thrilling. I was so psyched back then.You recently featured on Taylor Swift’s “Snow on the Beach.” What was collaborating with her like?
Well, first of all, I had no idea I was the only feature [on that song]. Had I known, I would have sung the entire second verse like she wanted. My job as a feature on a big artist’s album is to make sure I help add to the production of the song, so I was more focused on the production. She was very adamant that she wanted me to be on the album, and I really liked that song. I thought it was nice to be able to bridge that world, since Jack [Antonoff] and I work together and so do Jack and Taylor.

Lana Del Rey is on the cover of the March 2023 issue of Interview magazine. Lana was photographed by Nadia Lee Cohen, styled by Mel Ottenberg, and interviewed by Billie Eilish. The two singer-songwriters had a very authentic and supportive conversation, discussing the creative process behind Lana’s upcoming album, ‘Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd,’ being romanticised online, being afraid to make mistakes, so much more.
DEL REY: The era was definitely different. I remember talking to friends at that time where they were like, “Are you afraid to make one misstep?” I was like, “Yeah, I do feel like one wrong step could ruin everything.” That’s why I was very tentative and didn’t talk too much. Whereas now, people have all these brand deals and things where it doesn’t really matter if something goes wrong, because there’s always the next thing.
EILISH: But also, they don’t ever let anything go. You literally can’t make a single mistake ever. No matter what you do to redeem yourself, it doesn’t matter. They decide that’s who you are and that you deserve death.
DEL REY: Right. I think that also, people are being a lot more careful with what they say. I remember my first big interview with Rolling Stone for Ultraviolence. He asked me about the song “Sad Girl.” Where it goes: [sings] “I’m a sad girl, I’m a sad girl, I’m a sad girl.” He said, “At 29, don’t you feel uncomfortable calling yourself a girl?” I was like, “You mean instead of?” And he said, “Well, a woman. I mean, you’re like 30.” I was really caught off guard because I wanted to talk about how I mixed my own album with this guy Robert Orton. Then, I said, “Well, what about that Jennifer Lopez song [‘Girls’] or the Beyoncé song ‘Girls Run the World’? I think she’s older than me.” And he was like, “That’s different. That’s a fun song.” I don’t feel like those kinds of questions get asked anymore. For me, it was trial by fire. It’s definitely a different era now.
