When Lana Del Rey said “I went to see some friends of mine in Florence, Alabama,” she wasn’t kidding. The singer has inexplicably been living her best life in Southern Belle lately, first doing manicures in the state before working a shift at the local Waffle House.
Pictures of the singer with a fan at a Birmingham nail salon went viral online earlier this week. Now, fan footage shows Ray making coffee behind the counter at Waffle House, even wearing her signature uniform and name tag. It’s not clear why she took “the job” — it may have been a publicity stunt, a way to connect with fans, or research for her next single. It may have been an escape from the man who was recently arrested for making death threats to the singer.
According to local publication AL.com, Ray doesn’t appear to be in the area working on music; Local recording venues FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound told the site they weren’t recent clients.
