00:09 What is it?
00:10 Hey, Harper's Bazaar, I'm Lana Del Rey,
00:12 and I'm gonna be answering trivia questions
00:14 that are all about me.
00:16 Let's see how we do.
00:17 How many songs have you referenced Soda in?
00:20 I can think of a few, but not as many
00:23 as I have referenced Trucks, Bad Guys,
00:28 Red Dresses, Late Nights, I swear to God.
00:31 - [Producer] Who do you think your best guest is?
00:32 - My best guest?
00:34 - Yeah.
00:35 - Diet Mountain Dew, Baby New York City.
00:37 Yeah.
00:38 [laughs]
00:39 I don't know, six.
00:40 Wait.
00:41 [laughs]
00:42 It's fire.
00:44 - Cherry, Wild 'N Hard, Cola,
00:47 Diet Mountain Dew, Bartender, Florida Shower.
00:50 - You got it, that's, wow.
00:52 Which designer did you wear
00:55 to your first Brit Awards in 2012?
00:58 If I'm right, I think it was a red Vivienne Westwood dress.
01:03 I love Vivienne Westwood.
01:06 I love what she does with her corsets
01:08 and her internal boning.
01:10 So that's really nice,
01:11 so you don't have to think about anything else
01:13 when you're presenting something or losing.
01:16 Which celebrity did you appear alongside
01:20 in a '90s Abercrombie campaign?
01:23 Lindsay Lohan.
01:24 We preserved the shopping bag where it's me, Lindsay Lohan,
01:27 and my sister is on it too.
01:29 We were very excited
01:31 because also Lindsay went to school with my cousins
01:34 and at the time they were all in the same play, Cinderella.
01:38 So all I wanted to do was go up and tell her,
01:40 like, "You're in the school play with my cousin,
01:42 "Maggie McGuire."
01:44 But I didn't, I played it cool, even at 13.
01:47 Have you seen the photograph
01:49 of her going around from the crocheting book?
01:52 I have seen the pictures from the book "24 Ponchos."
01:56 I did not know that was what it was called.
01:58 What the fuck are those pictures?
02:00 Like, I almost wonder if I wasn't modeling
02:03 my mom's knit sweaters for her friend
02:06 and somehow I ended up in a book.
02:08 Thanks a lot to whoever dug those up.
02:12 What is the first line of the second verse
02:15 in "Snow on the Beach"?

02:31 What is it?
02:32 ♪ This scene feels like ♪

02:38 ♪ I searched Aurora, Borealis, Green ♪

02:44 ♪ Da da da da da da ♪
02:45 Okay, so what happened with "Snow on the Beach" was,
02:48 that was actually the song Taylor wanted me to sing on.
02:51 If I think somebody's song is perfect,
02:54 I will act as a producer in it.
02:56 I can mimic almost anyone,
02:58 so I am all over the first version of "Snow on the Beach,"
03:02 but I layer and match her vocals perfectly,
03:06 so you would never even know
03:07 that I was completely all over that first song.
03:11 She wanted me to sing the whole thing,
03:12 but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
03:16 What song did you sing with a customer at Waffle House?
03:20 The customer was Bubba, he's a regular.
03:23 He takes a cup of Coke, flat, no ice,
03:27 and he takes an empty cup for his dip.
03:30 We sang two songs.
03:32 One of them was "God Bless America,"
03:34 but I don't know if you would know that,
03:36 'cause I don't know if anyone saw that.
03:39 And I don't know what the other,
03:41 is there another song people know about?
03:42 Is there a video of me singing with Bubba?
03:45 ♪ I was once a young man ♪
03:50 That was a little bit of a God moment,
03:55 a little bit of a God shock,
03:57 'cause that was the last song I sang with my grandmother,
03:59 and it was also the first song I sang with my grandmother.
04:02 I did get a little bit of a synchronicity with that.
04:06 Which celebrity also has "Paradise" tattooed on their hand?
04:11 Adele.
04:13 I think we must've been on the same wavelength.
04:16 That's actually a cool little connection.
04:18 I like that, she's amazing.
04:20 What is your sun, moon, and rising sign?
04:24 ♪ Cancer is sun and my Leo is moon ♪
04:29 That's my rising sign.
04:30 It's gotta be either like a Gemini or a Cancer again,
04:35 or Scorpio, Scorpio rising.
04:38 I feel like I identify with cancer qualities.
04:40 I lived my life as a Gemini.
04:42 It's insane.
04:43 And then I found out that I was four hours short.
04:46 I threw out all of my 14 karat gold twin Gemini pendants
04:51 and got lots of crabs in diamonds.
04:54 And I've got a go bag, I've got a truck.
04:56 I carry everything I have with me on my back,
05:00 just like a little crab.
05:01 Total cry baby.
05:03 Tears all the time.
05:04 Water all the way.
05:06 I have a lot of fire in me though.
05:08 I'm almost equal fire.
05:10 I think that's where a Leo comes in.
05:13 What color dress did you wear in the final scene
05:16 of your Candy Necklace music video?
05:19 So, they zoomed into the trunk.
05:24 White.
05:25 I was on the Hollywood Boulevard getting my star
05:28 and I looked up and then it flashes to me
05:31 with the Candy Necklace and without
05:33 to show that you need to give back the necklace,
05:36 the symbolic necklace.
05:38 So, yeah, it was actually my white festival dress.
05:41 Which song did you open with
05:44 at your Glastonbury debut in 2014?
05:47 I don't know.
05:48 I feel like it would have either been
05:50 Cruel World, Flipside, Cola.
05:54 It was?
05:55 Wow.
05:57 What a nuisance to society.
05:59 Which singer had your photo as their phone lock screen?
06:02 Billie Eilish.
06:03 I love her.
06:06 I love her so much.
06:07 I have no teases, no confirmations
06:10 about collaborating with Billie,
06:11 but I feel like our careers feel like a collaboration,
06:14 but it'd be fun to get in the studio
06:16 with her and Phineas for sure.
06:18 One favorite venue to play?
06:23 I don't know, but I did play The Gorge
06:26 and it was the most beautiful view I've ever seen.
06:29 And I also got to fall into the arms of Robert Plant
06:33 as I tripped down the stairs.
06:35 Two, last celebrity you texted?
06:37 The Weeknd.
06:40 Three, last song you listened to?
06:44 Morgan Wallen, I Was Born With A Beer In My Hand.
06:47 Four, favorite TV show?
06:49 The Bachelor.
06:51 Five.
06:51 Thanks so much.
06:55 Thank you so much for watching.
06:57 Thanks so much for watching.
07:01 It's gonna happen.
07:02 That's it.
07:03 Thank you so much for watching
07:04 and make sure to look out for my cover of Harper's Bazaar,
07:09 which by the way, isn't that unbelievable?
07:12 This is like hard.
07:15 Ask me something random.
07:16 - [Producer] Were you a Real Housewives gal?
07:19 - I was.
07:20 And now I don't really know any of the girls
07:23 on the Beverly Hills show.
07:25 How about Kyle Richards though, huh?
07:27 All right.
