Bleakly, that wasn’t even the most startling admission during her performance. In “Stars Fell On Alabama,” Del Rey speaks directly to her “husband of mine,” aka Jeremy Dufrene, father of two, suspected hunter of alligators, lover of Bass Pro Shop, and employee of Arthur’s Air Boat Tours.
“Don’t let them put all this paper between us,” she begs. “What’s yours is mine. What’s mine is between you, me, and Jesus. I’ve got nothing to lose except you and maybe my mind.”
Hmm. If you think that sounds an awful lot like Del Rey, a millionaire of suspected generational wealth, didn’t ask for Dufrene’s John Hancock on a prenuptial agreement, you’re in good (and very concerned) company. Del Rey’s fans have since spent days venting their worries on Twitter and Instagram.
“I truly believe miss Lana del Rey does everything for the plot because why is she admitting to the world she didn’t make that man sign a prenup in song,” one user tweeted. “Oh no. He’s going to take her hard earned money,” another posted on Instagram. I have to hand it to the fans. If I were famous, I, too, would want legions of supporters I’ve never met to advocate for my financial safety. After all, they’ve contributed to her bank account.
The presence of a prenuptial agreement was also a topic of conversation in September, when Del Rey and Dufrene exchanged vows during a small ceremony in the presence of family and friends in his hometown of Des Allemandes, Louisiana. Given their whirlwind romance (they only went public one month before their nuptials), the skepticism is fair. And, let’s be honest, it would be very on-brand for her to marry a man from the bayou without a prenup, you know, for the sake of romance.
I hope it doesn’t come to this, but…that break-up album would go so hard.
