Elizabeth Woolridge Grant (born June 21, 1985), known professionally as Lana Del Rey, is an American singer-songwriter. Widely regarded as one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 21st century, she helped reshape modern alternative pop and mainstream pop music with songs that explore melancholic themes of romance and glamour, alongside frequent references to pop culture and 1950s–1970s Americana. Critics have frequently praised Del Rey's poetic lyricism and storytelling, with Pitchfork describing her work on Norman Fucking Rockwell! as establishing her as "one of America's greatest living songwriters".
Del Rey grew up in upstate New York and moved to Manhattan in 2005 to pursue a music career. After signing with Polydor and Interscope, she released her major-label debut, Born to Die (2012)—featuring a cinematic, hip-hop-inflected sound, it garnered a cult following and later became the longest charting album by a woman in the history of the US Billboard 200. She incorporated psychedelic, orchestral, and folk elements into her subsequent releases, including Ultraviolence (2014), Honeymoon (2015), and Lust for Life (2017). Her highly acclaimed sixth album, Norman Fucking Rockwell! (2019), was named one of the 500 greatest albums by Rolling Stone. Del Rey's later projects, Chemtrails Over the Country Club (2021), Blue Banisters (2021), and Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (2023) achieved further success, with the latter's track "A&W" also being placed on the magazine's 500 greatest songs.
Del Rey is the recipient of various accolades, including an MTV Video Music Award, three MTV Europe Music Awards, two Brit Awards, and two Billboard Women in Music awards; she has also received 11 Grammy Award nominations. For her contributions to visual media soundtracks, she received a Satellite Award and nominations for two Critics' Choice Movie Awards and a Golden Globe Award. She also wrote and directed the musical short film Tropico (2013). In 2020, Del Rey published the poetry and photography collection Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass.
