Lana Del Rey is clearly the level of petty we all aspire to be after she revealed that she set out to promote her latest album with just one billboard - situated in the hometown of her ex-boyfriend. Ouch!
Del Rey - whose real name is Elizabeth Grant - is on the promotional trail for her upcoming ninth studio album, entitled Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, and has even shared the title track on the record.
Set for release on March 10, 2023, the singer has already got netizens talking about her latest project, taking to her Instagram to post a selfie with the Tulsa, Oklahoma billboard in the background.
She even added: "It's. Personal" in the comments. Despite having two million followers, her account is private - though her fans fortunately shared the image on Twitter.
"lana del rey putting up just one billboard for her album in her ex boyfriends city and then posting about it is so lana del rey [sic]," one fan wrote, tweeting the image alongside a photograph of her ex-boyfriend Sean Larkin, who is an officer with the Tulsa Police Department.
Users couldn't help but marvel at the 37-year-old's assertive gesture, taking to Twitter to comment their thoughts.
"Ok love the concept," one person wrote.
"lana del ray has one billboard for her new album and it's in her ex's hometown...babe this is the cult im in ok [sic]," another added.
"[Lana Del Rey] is ice cold for this billboard right by David L Moss jail by her ol beau stomping grounds [sic]," a further user chimed in.
Del Rey and Larkin reportedly dated for around six months from 2019 - 2020. Whilst being a real-life policeman, he's also appeared on an Emmy Award-winning reality TV show on A&E. As a couple, the pair made their relationship debut when the 'Summertime Sadness' singer brought him to the Pre-Grammy Gala in January 2020, according to The Daily Mail.
Shortly following the couple's breakup in 2020, Larkin had told The New York Times: "We still talk and whatnot, we just have busy schedules right now."
Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd is set for release on March 10, 2023. It's available to pre-order now through Lana Del Rey's website.
