Lana Del Rey, once a standout in indie-pop, faced rapid scrutiny following the success of her album "Norman Fucking Rockwell!" While recognized as a defining artist of the decade, her public persona shifted after controversial statements and choices, leading to criticism for being perceived as problematic. Del Rey’s Instagram letter in May 2020 illustrated her defensiveness toward her musical themes, and she questioned the cultural narrative surrounding her. This shift in public perception has led many of her fans to express disappointment and loss of respect for her, complicating her legacy.
"I’m not talking about any one artist, I’m talking about the culture in general and how it’s being reflected in music. I just want to sing about love and beauty, not just sex and empowerment.”
“I’ve brought up my own music and career to show that people can create a narrative for me that doesn't match my intentions or legacy.”
