Lana Del Rey is embracing a new chapter as she celebrates her 40th birthday with loved ones and looks forward to the exciting events ahead, including her upcoming tour.
On Sunday, June 22, the “Young and Beautiful” singer shared a joyful post on Instagram to mark the milestone, expressing her gratitude and excitement.
A Birthday Celebration with Loved Ones
Del Rey, who turned 40, posted a picture on Instagram of herself holding two birthday cakes while wearing a matching camo set. She was joined by her husband, Jeremy Dufrene, who also wore a camo shirt and shorts for the occasion.
In her caption, Del Rey shared a lighthearted message: “Just a couple in-laws and a baby,” before thanking her loved ones for celebrating with her. She also gave a special shoutout to “Cancer queen Phoenix” and jokingly said she felt 50/50 Gemini, explaining her constantly shifting “Lil vibes.”
The singer ended the post with a nod to her eagerly awaited tour, saying, “So excited to see everybody starting tomorrow on tour and for all the folks joining us. Truly thank you thank you love you.” Fans are clearly excited for her return to the stage, and Del Rey’s energy is contagious as she looks ahead to performing live again.
A Summer Tour in the U.K.
Del Rey is gearing up for a limited summer tour across the U.K., with stops in Cardiff, Glasgow, Liverpool, Dublin, and London in late June and early July.
After that, she heads to Saint Charles, Missouri, for a show on August 3. The upcoming performances are especially exciting for her fans, who have been eagerly awaiting the chance to see her live again.
New Music and an Upcoming Album
In addition to her birthday and tour, Del Rey has been busy with her music. In April, she released two country-inspired tracks, “Henry, Come On” and “Bluebird,” which have been well received by her fans. She also revealed that she’s working on a new album, which has experienced some changes along the way.
Initially titled Lasso, the album was later renamed The Right Person Will Stay. Though it was originally scheduled for release in May, the album’s release date has been delayed.
Del Rey hinted at the new album in an Instagram Reel, saying, “I’m really happy for this album to be moving along. I do have a lot more to say about that … I mean, you do know it’s not going to come on time right?” She also teased more details about the album, joking that the name had changed again.
When speaking with PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly in October, Del Rey shared her creative process, explaining that she wanted to wait for the right musical atmosphere before releasing the album.
She shared that she doesn’t usually feel the need for a pause but acknowledged that if there’s a “literal energetic pause,” she would wait until the right moment. This reflective approach suggests that Del Rey is carefully crafting the next phase of her musical journey.
Looking Ahead
With her 40th birthday, new music, and an upcoming tour, Lana Del Rey has a lot to celebrate. Fans can expect more of her signature blend of Americana, introspection, and heartfelt lyrics as she continues to evolve as an artist. Whether it’s her tour or her next album, Lana’s creative energy is sure to keep fans excited for what’s to come.
