Lana Del Rey Says She’s Donated Tour Earnings To The Cities She Played

Did you know there’s a charitable paper trailer behind every Lana Del Rey tour city? So says LDR, who closed out her 2023 tour Thursday in Charleston, West Virginia. Just before ending the set with “Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” Del Rey addressed the crowd at Charleston Civic Center. She told them she’s been funneling every dollar from the tour back into the cities she’s played, and that she’s out there performing for the love of it, not the money. She didn’t specify exactly what she meant by pouring money right back into cities; presumably she is picking charities in each town? It was not the most transparent statement in the world.
