  • Lana Del Rey has seemingly escalated her public feud with alt-pop singer Ethel Cain by releasing a song snippet that appears to diss Cain.
  • The lyrics in Del Rey's new song reference an Instagram picture of Cain with Del Rey's supposed ex-boyfriend, Jack Donoghue, and seemingly mock a 2022 New York Times headline about Cain.
  • Following the song teaser, Ethel Cain claimed that Lana Del Rey had blocked her on Instagram.
