Watch Lana Del Rey perform ‘If You Lie Down With Me’ live for first time, as she also responds to negative gig review

Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey performed ‘If You Lie Down With Me’ for the first time during her second show at Wembley Stadium in London.

After performing ‘Diet Pepsi‘ with Addison Rae on her first-ever headline show at the venue, the singer-songwriter played the ‘Blue Banisters‘ track the night after (July 4), which saw her waltzing with one of her backing dancers. You can view footage below.

Following the concert, she also took a dig at a scathing review of her show in Dublin in the Irish Times, commenting on their Instagram post: “Ooh I think this is the wrong take on the angle for the story.”

The gig comes as Del Rey is gearing up to share her anticipated 10th album – which has been renamed from ‘Lasso’ to ‘The Right Person Will Stay’.

While a release date for ‘The Right Person Will Stay’ has not yet been confirmed, Del Rey has released two tracks from the upcoming album: ‘Bluebird‘ and ‘Henry, Come On‘. It is looking like ‘57.7’ will be the next single to be shared ahead of the release, and it included a line about kissing Morgan Wallen during her recent headline Stagecoach performance.

It has been widely shared that the record will see her hone in on a country sound, and it will mark the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’.

In a four-star review of that album, NME wrote: “…Ocean Blvd’ might deal with some major existential questions, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had and cements Del Rey’s status as one of modern music’s most intriguing songwriters.”

Elsewhere, the opening night of her tour in Cardiff scored a five-star review, with NME‘s Rhian Daly writing: “All she needs is her exquisite voice and beautifully written songs, delivered with as much heart and emotion as she shares tonight. It might not have seemed obvious at first, but once you’ve witnessed it, Del Rey the stadium headliner feels like a very natural fit after all.”
