Lana Del Rey Jokingly Says She ‘Kissed Morgan Wallen’ During Stagecoach 2025 Performance

Lana Del Rey’s performance at the 2025 Stagecoach Festival featured the debut of a brand new song — and a surprise admission about country music star Morgan Wallen.

“I kissed Morgan Wallen,” Del Rey, 39, quipped during her Friday, April 25, set, while singing the lyrics to “57.5,” one of her newest songs. “I guess kissing me kind of went to his head. If you want my secret to success, I suggest [you] don’t go ATVing with him when you’re out west.”

It is not known whether Del Rey actually kissed Wallen, 31, or if it is a joke lyric in “57.5.” She has been married to Jeremy Dufrene, an alligator tour guide in Louisiana, since late last year.

Del Rey and Dufrene were first romantically linked in May 2024, when the pop star shared Facebook photos on one of his wildlife tours back in 2019. They tied the knot in September 2024 and without ever publicly confirming their engagement.

“It’s good. We’re happy,” she told InStyle of newlywed life one month later.

Before finding love with Dufrene, Del Rey dated the likes of Barrie-James O’Neill, Francisco Carrozzini, G-Eazy, Sean Larkin and Clayton Johnson.

“It’s been beautiful, but it’s been confusing because when that’s your prerogative, things don’t end in a traditional way,” Del Rey told Rolling Stone in 2014 of her past experience in relationships. “You don’t have that traditional relationship where maybe you go out with couples at night, or you do normal things. It’s more of an extension of the creative process.”

She added, “There’s high-impact events that happen, or big adventures, or big fallouts. So it’s inspiring, and it’s not grounding, but it’s what I need to keep going.”

At the time, Del Rey noted that she was “really looking for an equal” and wouldn’t shy away from an age-gap relationship. (Dufrene, for his part, is 10 years older than Del Rey.)

“I sort of have an affinity for really good, strong, self-assured people,” she told the outlet. “I would say I haven’t met them as much in people who are in their 20s. So for me, I have nothing in common necessarily with somebody who’s in their 20s — yet. That I know of, thus far.”

Wallen, meanwhile, has a star-studded dating history, including Kristin Cavallari, Paige Lorenze and Meghan Moroney. And while Wallen, who also shares a son with KT Smith, might have a controversial history — many of his exes confirm that he’s a gentleman in relationships.

“Morgan’s a good guy. He has a big heart, he really does,” Cavallari, 38, said on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast in December 2024. “He’s been with every woman on the planet — as he should. Morgan was very sweet. He was like, ‘I’ll pick you up, I’ll pick the place’ [and] just f***ing handled business. He picked me up. He met my kids [who I share with ex Jay Cutler and they] were so excited. It was so cute. He got us a private room.”
