While attending the 2024 Met Gala, the Summertime Sadness hitmaker quickly shared what her new favorite track is from Swift. “The one, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” De Rey said. “Whatever that title is. It’s beautiful.”
Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift teamed up for the single Snow on the Beach from Swift’s Midnights album.
Swift previously opened up about the collaboration by stating, “I think so many female artists would not be where they are and would not have the inspiration they have if it weren’t for the work that [Lana has] done. I think she’s a legacy artist, a legend in her prime right now. I’m so lucky to know you and to be your friend.”
Musician and producer Jack Antonoff also spoke about the “magic” of working with Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift.
“Every time we do something new, I joke, ‘I guess we still got it,’ because there’s no reason for it to keep coming the way it does,” Antonoff said during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 earlier this year. “There’s a lot of magic there. I feel that way with Taylor, I feel that way with Lana, I feel that with my band.”
