Singer Lana Del Rey, widely known for her haunting, cinematic sound and reflective lyrics, has also been open about her past struggles with alcohol. The artist behind hits like “Summertime Sadness” and “Born to Die” describes herself as a āwild child,ā whose journey included darker moments fueled by heavy drinking.
Behind the glitz and Billboard hits, Del Rey’s story is one of personal reflection, strength, and overcoming addiction. Letās explore what Del Rey has shared about her alcohol problems and how she found her way to a healthier, more grounded life.
In interviews, Del Rey has reflected on her experiences with alcohol, describing a time when her life spiraled as drinking became a habit. After being sent to Kent School in Connecticut, her drinking increased to what she called “dangerous” levels, often at parties or even alone. For her, alcohol became a way to escape and cope, but it soon became a destructive force. In her song “Born to Die,” the lyrics hint at the depth of her emotional struggles, giving listeners a glimpse into this difficult period.
Del Rey has shared that while drinking, she also pursued her passion for music, a passion that helped sustain her through darker times. However, she knew something needed to change if she was going to find peace. Ultimately, Del Rey sought sobriety, finding strength through creativity and introspection.
As Del Rey gained control over her life and her drinking, her relationships changed for the better. In interviews, sheās explained how her addiction impacted her ability to maintain trust and stability in friendships and relationships. Now, she emphasizes how important it is to have genuine, supportive connections. For Del Rey, being in a healthy, loving relationship and having the opportunity to express herself artistically have helped ground her journey toward healing.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortiumās (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the websiteās UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the websiteās HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If youāve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, weāll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the websiteās operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the websiteās functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Hereās how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the websiteās components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the websiteās images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the websiteās HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as āMā (menus), āHā (headings), āFā (forms), āBā (buttons), and āGā (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
