In the Instagram post, she tagged frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff, Luke Laird, Drew Erickson and Caroline “Chuck” Grant, her younger sister. Antonoff and Erickson contributed to her last album, 2023’s “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” while Laird is a country songwriter and producer known for his work with Carrie Underwood, Eric Church and Thomas Rhett.
In January, the singer teased the song “Henry, Come On.” At the time, she posted a snippet of the track on Instagram, tagging Laird in it.
It’s long been suspected that Del Rey was next going to release “Lasso,” a country album that she announced earlier this year during an appearance at Billboard’s pre-Grammy event in Los Angeles. “If you can’t already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country,” she was reported telling the crowd. “We’re going country. It’s happening. That’s why Jack [Antonoff] has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years.” At the time, Del Rey said the album would be released in September.
Earlier this morning, Del Rey announced a 2025 tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland, kicking off on June 23 in Cardiff, Wales. She’s scheduled to play Stagecoach in April.
