Lana Del Rey responds to witchcraft accusation

Lana Del Rey's response was in relation to a TikTok made by Christian influencer Traci Coston accusing the singer of knowing witchcraft and using the same in her music to "attract demons". Coston's TikTok, titled Demonic Energy Knocks Over Lana Del Rey Crowd, saw her say, "Lana Del Rey has been open about practicing witchcraft...whatever witchcraft Del Rey is doing the spell she’s putting on her music to make it attractive those demons are being invited into the crowd."

Though Coston has since restricted comments on the video, also having deleted several of them before doing so, one of them was a response from Lana Del Rey's LDR Honeymoon account which called out Coston for her regressive statements also asserting that she knew the Bible much better than the influencer. She said, "I know the Bible verse for verse better than you do. PS you’re giving off super gremlin energy. Not in a good way."

What happened at Lana Del Rey's Mexico concert?

Lana Del Rey's concert had an impromptu moment where a section of the crowd was seen toppling over altogether. 

While the footage of the moment looks odd, it is likely that one person's fall led to a domino effect in the crowd. This was used as the basis of Coston's claims of witchcraft.
