It is not easy to survive as a female in Hollywood. In an industry that often values women for their looks and youth over their massive talent, scrutiny is a burden often faced and voiced against by top artists like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift
, and others. And recently, one of its top evils, ageism, has been aimed at the world-class songstress Lana Del Rey. Some inconsiderate remarks found their way to the singer, who is celebrated by her fans not only for her artistry but also for her ravishing old Hollywood glam diva looks that seamlessly blend with her melancholy, retro-Americana aesthetic.
Pop Crave has recently shared a latest selfie from Lana Del Rey in which she is sporting a casual white T-shirt and short pants. With one hand in her pocket and the other clicking the picture, Rey is exuding cool and chic girl-next-door vibes. But unfortunately, the picture fell into the hands of an insensitive netizen who reshared the post with his unsolicited opinion of “she really look like white trash”
on X.

Though Lana Del Rey gave no response, ageism in show business is an extreme problem for women performers. Several prominent Hollywood singers, like Bebe Rexha, Madonna, Taylor Swift, and others, have been outspoken about the pressure to appear ageless and the challenges of maintaining a relevant career as they age. In fact, there is a particular scene in Swift’s biographical movie Miss Americana
where the singer shares her fears of performing as much as she can at the moment because once she ages, she will be pushed back in the row.

These days, Lana Del Rey has her hands full. A few days ago, she made a delightful appearance at the Met Gala as a newly married woman for the first time. Then, after the long wait,
the 39-year-old recently released her tenth studio album, ‘The Right Person Will Stay,’ on May 21, taking a pivot towards country music. Her entire album is being praised by reviewers all around for being in a league of its own. In the middle of these flourishing career moves, the singer may not have the time to defend herself on the internet, but her fans have got her back. Taking to the comments, the Lana fandom called out the user for his insensitive comment.
