In recent news, Summertime Sadness singer Lana Del Rey is delighted about the success of her friend and collaborator, Taylor Swift.

Swift took a moment to address her fans in Los Angeles during the show and said, “She ( Lana Del Rey) “knows I’m obsessed with her, and she was kind enough to make a song with me on Midnights called ‘Snow on the Beach,’ because she’s a generous king. And she did that for me, and I’ll never forget how nice she’s been to me. It’s so cool when you have favorite artists and they turn out to be so nice to you. So anyway, I wanted to just do some promo for her.”
