Lana Del Rey threw shade at country star Morgan Wallen in the lyrics of her new song, 57.5. Rey, backed by a full live band and Southern-inspired stage visuals, premiered the song during her set at California’s Stagecoach country music festival on Friday night. She sang “I kissed Morgan Wallen / I guess kissing me kind of went to his head / If you want my secret to success / I suggest don’t go ATVing with him when you’re out west,” TMZ reported. The barb marked another public blow to Wallen’s reputation after he seemingly snubbed the cast of Saturday Night Live last month with an abrupt exit after performing on the March 29 episode of the sketch comedy show. Wallen appeared to address his abrupt exit with an Instagram post captioned, “Get me to God’s country.” The SNL cast wasted no time roasting the country singer for the stunt during the following week’s episode. Although Rey did not divulge when exactly she had her alleged kiss with Wallen, it all seemed to be behind her. Rey announced last September that she had married her alligator tour guide boyfriend, Jeremy Dufrene.
