At Stagecoach 2025, the beating heart of the American country music scene, Lana Del Rey stunned audiences with the live premiere of three brand-new tracks, signaling an exciting shift in her musical direction. Known for her cinematic melancholy, Lana has now draped her sound in rich Southern Gothic textures, hinting at a bold country influence for her next album.
The performance opened with “Husband of Mine,” a slow-burning ballad laced with wistful melodies and raw country soul. Lana’s voice floated over the desert air, weaving a story of longing and faded dreams, instantly capturing the crowd’s heart.
The second revelation, “57.5,” sparked an even bigger frenzy. With her signature sly humor, Lana confessed through the lyrics, “I kissed Morgan Wallen…” playfully nodding to the country-pop megastar. The audience erupted as Lana masterfully blended irony with earnest storytelling, a skill that remains uniquely hers.
Finally, “Quiet in the South” enveloped Stagecoach in a dusky, haunting atmosphere, its Southern Gothic undertones painting vivid images of twilight landscapes and lost love. It’s a track already tipped by fans to become a staple in her future live sets.
As whispers of a new album swirl louder than ever, it’s clear that Lana Del Rey is steering into uncharted yet thrilling territory. Her Stagecoach appearance wasn’t just a performance — it was a statement. The queen of nostalgia is now the high priestess of a new Southern Gothic era.
