It looks like Lana Del Rey is on a glorious, all-out country music binge these days. She is definitely having a major country music moment. Per Whiskey Riff, she said at an unspecified event, "If you can't already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country. We're going country. It's happening." She has a country album in the pipeline called Lasso. Can't wait!

Del Rey has been turning up on stage with the likes of Mason Ramsey, Paul Cauthen, Megan Moroney and others. That isn't all. She wed Jeremy Dufrene three months ago in Louisiana. (He is "a swamp and alligator tour guide. I would really love to know more about that, but it's a story for another day!) She is definitely livin' and lovin' the country lifestyle.

Lana Del Rey Informally Performed A Song By Waylon Jennings That Floored Everyone
She Was In Mexico For A Gal Pal's Nuptials
Del Rey was at the rehearsal dinner for Valerie Vogt and Shawn Greenbaum in Merida. After the usual speeches and toasts to the beaming pair, the party started in earnest. Of course, what would a bridal rehearsal shindig be without karaoke? The bride's dad had a mic in his hand, with Del Rey right near him.
Del Rey And The Bride'S Dad Teamed For The Jennings Song
The two performed "Luckenbach, Texas (Back To The Basics Of Love)" by Waylon Jennings. Maybe they weren't Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, but they charmingly gave it everything they had.
The outlet offered this good-humored critique. "During portions of the song, when both parties are confident in their pitch and deliver, they sound amazing, but it's a little rough around the edges in other parts (as it goes with karaoke). But that's what makes impromptu karaoke like this so much fun."
Del Rey has reportedly sung classic standards such as "Stand By Your Man" and Unchained Melody," so this was right in her wheelhouse.
