Lana Del Rey spills the tea about the role she had in a Taylor Swift song

Remember when Taylor Swift released “Midnights” last year? This huge album came with a Lana Del Rey collaboration in the iconic song “Snow on the Beach.” Despite all the excitement surrounding the track, both Swifities and the Lana Cult (that’s the name for both fandoms) were shook after barely hearing Lana Del Rey in the song.

After months of disappointment from stans, T-Swift released the “Til Dawn Edition,” where she included a re-visited version of the track titled “Snow on the Beach (Feat. More Lana Del Rey).” This goes to prove you couldn’t really hear Lana in the original one, and an updated version had to be made.

Fast-forward to now: Lana Del Rey decided to spill the tea about the creation process of “Snow on the Beach,” and she didn’t hold back! In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the singer explained that she had a “producer role” in the song and that she matched her vocals, so “you would never even know that I was completely all over that first song.”

Then, Lana Del Rey decided to clap back at Internet trolls and haters who made fun of her for being “muted” on the track. She said, “If it ain’t broke, dont fix it!” and admitted that Taylor Swift wanted her to sing the whole verse and be more present vocally, but Lana loved the song as she first produced it!

So there you have it, it was never Lana’s intention to have a stellar role in Tay’s song. She was actually aiming for a more low-key kind of behind-the-scenes vibe for the track. Watch her spill that tea below:
