All the buzzworthy moments from Lana Del Rey’s Harper’s Bazaar cover story

Lana Del Rey has been having a banner year. On top of releasing her latest album, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd?” earlier this year, she’s also been nominated for a whopping five Grammys, including Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album.

To boot, it was just announced that she will be headlining the 2024 Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, so the “Summertime Sadness” crooner shows no signs of slowing down. So of course it makes sense that Harper’s Bazaar would entreat her to grace their latest cover.

For the magazine’s December/January 2024 Art Issue, the “Brooklyn Baby” singer reveals a whole host of buzzworthy tidbits about herself that are impossible to ignore. She sees a clairvoyant, her home decor once broke up a romantic relationship, and she’s currently, definitely, 100% not looking for l’amour.

For a musician and songwriter whose lyrics almost always deal with love, heartbreak, loss, longing, and hope, we cannot ignore that her trusted clairvoyant Tessa DiPietro that she sees on a weekly basis revealed to the magazine that a guided meditation revealed that Lana’s thoughts are almost always centered, and shaped, around the opposite sex.

“I think people felt there was this tension in the room to have the right answer to ‘What are the shape of my thoughts?’” DePietro told the outlet.

“And people are saying stuff like, ‘Well, my thoughts look like clouds.’ And somebody else will go, ‘Well, my thoughts look like little bubbles.’ “And we come around to Lana, and she’s looking into space and thinking, and then she says, ‘Men. My thoughts are all shaped like men.’ It was so perfect because you couldn’t tell if she was being ironic or not. And yet it was the most truthful answer anybody had given.” Honestly, we can totally see this.

Another interesting anecdote from her life has to do with her home, which the writer points out has some waterlogged patio furniture and broken steps, but Lana gushes about how much she loves the space nonetheless, even though she claims it led to a breakup.

“We had some fights over this house, a couple people,” she says in the interview of a recent boyfriend who goes unnamed. “They didn’t get it.” “I feel like even the most chill guy doesn’t really want to chill here,” she continued.

“Sadly, part of you knows … that ain’t it. … That one shocked me. I won’t name names and whatever, but that one really shocked me, that person. That was actually the end of a relationship.” She goes on hint that this particular ex boyfriend might have wanted the fantasy version of Lana, rather than who she actually is.

“In that person’s case there was something going on with them, like a little bubble ego. See, I don’t get to have one anymore. It’s been smashed to … what do you call it? Smithereens. I’m sure it’s somewhere in my toe. That’s it. I’d love to grow one. I’m learning how. I’m learning,” she says. “I know what I want.”

That kind of disappointment sounds about right for the “Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have” songstress. However, unlike her lyrics which often long for love or go on a quest for true romance, Lana herself isn’t ready to mingle these days.

“I’m definitely not in love right now. No,” she tells the outlet “Absolutely not in love. Have been, but no.” When asked if she wants love, she coyly replies, “Well, I’ll tell you. It hasn’t crossed my mind in the last five months on the road or here yet. But give it a week. My history, sure, it’s coming for me at some point. Yeah. It would be interesting if it didn’t. It would be interesting if it didn’t.”

She goes on, “I think I would have to get my orientation toward where I want to be geographically stronger in my solar plexus, like a knowingness there, before I could tune into a stronger desire romantically. Because if you don’t feel a connection necessarily to the pavement you’re walking on, the love thing stays over there.”
