golf course gracefully concluded her earthly adventure on April 28 to Melvin Hendry Archibald and Stella Allen Hall Archibald Lana embraced life with a spirited heart and a twinkle in her eye Lana excelled in the fine art of making everyone around her feel loved and appreciated While she didn't necessarily climb the corporate ladder in a traditional sense her career was one of nurturing relationships and offering a listening ear (often accompanied by a perfectly crocheted afghan) Her dedication to her family was her truest vocation and she managed it with the precision of a seasoned golfer lining up a perfect putt Lana was a force of nature wrapped in a cozy sweater their partnership was a testament to enduring love and shared laughter they built a beautiful life and raised five wonderful children: Sherice (Kent) Yearsley Lana’s joy multiplied with the arrival of her 10 grandchildren and then blossomed further with 9 great-grandchildren each of whom brought a sparkle to her already bright eyes She was the matriarch who could always be counted on for a comforting hug and maybe even a slightly competitive game of cards Lana had a zest for life that was truly infectious Whether she was perfecting her swing on the golf course creating intricate patterns with her crochet hook or gracefully gliding across the dance floor she approached every activity with enthusiasm and a smile Her wonderful sense of humor could lighten any mood and her love for camping and the great outdoors was a testament to her adventurous spirit She was also a fiercely loyal fan of the Utah State Aggies and family gatherings often revolved around cheering (or occasionally bemoaning) their football and basketball games on television we also celebrate the vibrant life she lived She now joins those who preceded her in death and her dear sisters Barbara Jane Blanthorn and Melva Lee “Mae” Summers We can only imagine the joyous reunion happening likely filled with laughter and perhaps a good-natured debate about the best way to knit a sweater Graveside services will be conducted on Monday A viewing to honor Lana’s life will be held on Sunday from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the White Pine Funeral Home and from 9:30 to 10:30 am prior to the graveside on Monday at the funeral home Lana will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her and her unwavering love will forever be etched in our hearts We’re pretty sure she’s already found the best golf course in the great beyond and is probably teaching the angels how to crochet the perfect heavenly doily There's no

She wrote on social media: A post shared by Lana Pudar (@lanapudar) The social media post coincided with a press conference in her home country at the Olympic Committee’s headquarters “I will do my best to justify this opportunity and to use it in the best possible way,” Pudar said expressed the joy that Pudar’s results had brought to her home country but also used the opportunity to stump for enhancements to domestic sporting facilities and resources “But today, along with pride, we also feel bitterness. Because Lana Pudar a champion who carried the name of Bosnia and Herzegovina around the world must continue her career outside the borders of her homeland in search of what she did not have here: a swimming pool in her hometown of Mostar and a serious sports environment,” he said “What is still missing is a system that recognizes and builds the future through sport It is time for athletes to no longer be left to their own devices and their own sacrifices It is time for serious and sustainable sports development.” Her coach and manager Damir Đedović will remain involved in her training and development “The main condition was that Lana Pudar would have equal treatment as the best American swimmers one of the conditions was that I would have access to the training process that I could participate in further development and education because Lana would eventually return to BiH,” he said She was the bronze medalist in the 200 fly last February at the World Aquatics Championships-Doha 2024 clocking a 2:07.92 to deny Rachel Klinker of the U.S She achieved her best time in the event at the LEN European Junior Championships in 2023 4.4 seconds ahead of runner-up Alina Baievych of Germany she won gold medals in the 100 fly (57.77) and 200 fly (2:07.20 a meet record) and was runner-up in the 50 fly (26.26) at the World Junior Swimming Championships in Netanya Her best 100 fly time comes from Euro Juniors Pudar represented Bosnia & Herzegovina at both the Tokyo Olympics and the Paris Olympics she was a semi-finalist in the 200 fly (12th with 2:08.74) and finished 17th in prelims of the 100 fly (57.97) Pudar’s best converted times would have scored in the A finals of the 100/200 fly at 2025 NCAA Division I Championships The Cavaliers will lose both Walsh sisters to graduation this spring so the addition of Pudar will help to fill the holes they leave in both events While the conversions are more conservative Pudar has a better long course best time in the 200 fly than anybody in the NCAA did last season – about six-tenths better than her Virginia teammate Tess Howley (1:51.79) she becomes a co-favorite for the NCAA title with fellow freshman Alex Shackell at Indiana after the top two from last year’s meet (Emma Sticklen Alex Walsh) both exhausted their eligibility She also seems likely to contribute to Virginia’s 800 free relay and maybe their 400 free relay too with some development in both distances The Cavaliers have historically focused mostly on Americans in recruiting – South African Aimee Canny and Japanese Alex Hotta on the men’s team are the only current internationally-based swimmers currently at Virginia and Kris Mihalyov from South Africa are shifting that paradigm a bit All are expected to join the team during the 2025-2026 season

"value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" What gets lost in the chatter is that UVA has a couple of cohorts of elite swimmers who have great chances at showing up next season in a big way little is said about Midenko’s sprint prowess The 2 international Olympians will join a number of others in the pool abd get training and weights that they’ve never had and training alongside of some spint and versalitity legends Almost all have lots of years of eligibility and a lot of depth I agree that this much talent will probably cause some issues on the back end Are you thinking of Padar who is going to Texas for her better option should have been De Sorbo as she is pure sprinter I know both of them in person if you are fast you go to sprinting coach if you have endurance and versatility you go to Bowman except for Bowman as he did same thing twice with MP and with LM Bowman isn’t coaching the Texas women’s undergraduate team Bowman is only coaching the men’s team and the pro team Sure someone like Lana could go to Texas hoping his influence would rub off on her or that she could join the pro team eventually but both of those things are a huge stretch And DeSorbo is a great coach with proven success on the women’s side This Pudar/Padar mixup is going to be real for the next few months lol If you want to save 15% or more on car insurance Daily chirp: have fun at the aerobic graveyard the article already notes it but its pretty interesting the pointy end of the next few classes are much more international than in years past i wonder this general w other schools as well but how many of these elite international recruits are inbound vs outbound iow which party generally initiates contact I think the Virginia staff’s focus on internationals in the past few months has more to do with striking out on the domestic 2025 and 2026 recruits they really wanted you’ll see something similar if they don’t get one or more of Erisman Yep – while their 2025 class is objectively fantastic I also think the smaller roster size and training groups will be more attractive to the international stars Until this group of current HOOs came through they did not have a ton of international hardware now they do and that leads to credibility as well Last paragraph includes what will probably be an increasingly common typo Texas commit Nikolett Padar of Hungary 🇭🇺 mixed up with Lana 🇧🇦 “far to early” UVA relay predictions- If there’s a freshman year adjustment period where Mintenko takes a temporary step back then replace her with Canny on the 400FR and Hayes on the 800FR Mintenko is also 22.0 in 50 — pretty nice 5th option backup plan for that relay Pretty solid line up all around…Novelline could also slide into the shorter medley and free relays Think she split 22 low/mid in the fly last year So is anyone else winning Women’s NCAAs this decade before all the newly announced swimmers post NCAAs it looked like Virginia at the advantage for 26 (but still needed to perform quite well) but vulnerable in 27 (with the insane class Tennessee has + the compounded losses); Now not so much since Virginia looks not only been in all the big names but really will only lose a few scorers after 2026 and are set up well for 26-28 If Bella goes to Cal they got a shot a number #2 And then we’ll see if anyone hits the portal (my guess is the draw of the Stanford degree with keep most there) but could they win a dual meet against their own alumni are still training so they might be too slow now to beat the college kids who are regularly practicing I think Maxine Parker is still training though the the domestic class of 2027 as a whole is much stronger than the recent few classes if they all converge on the same program (other than uva) as they have done recently that could tip the balance Just curious on details of why you think this class is stronger Anne Lepesant is the mother of four daughters With an undergraduate degree from Princeton

updates The Desert Sun has been documenting every day of the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals with a summary of its “highs and lows.” But while I am not usually one to object to journalistic conventions I must admit that putting together a highs and low story almost felt a little silly today the multitude of fantastic sets and a generally jubilant vibe that just makes you feel glad to attend an event like this it almost feels wrong to spend time dwelling on any trivial lows at all and a job’s a job — and I would like to keep mine — so here we go: the highs and lows from Day 1 of the 2025 Stagecoach country music festival THE HIGHSA high-power double feature in the Palomino with Mumford & Sons and Lana Del ReyOne of the magical things about a major music festival is being able to go from watching one major artist to another what took place in the Palomino tent — which is supposed to be the festival's secondary venue — Friday Without moving a step (and actually moving was not really advisable given how jam-packed the entire area around the tent was) I was treated to back-to-back goosebumps-inducing sets by two certified megastars Del Rey’s set let out just as Zach Bryan was taking the stage which was one of the most visually impressive things I have ever seen in my life But after two weekends of constant visual stimulation at Coachella there’s just something refreshing about showing up at Stagecoach and seeing dudes (and .. dudettes?) just playing their heart out on a mostly barely stage who played his entire set backed by a script with his own name some of the later artists will likely have a more intricate set but for now I'm digging the stripped-down feel I’m not sure why Goldenvoice chose to give today a “Friday Night Lights” theme and encourage people to wear sports jerseys It could’ve been an acknowledgement of the second day of the NFL draft or maybe they were just looking to tone down on the bombastic political shirts that are usually a fixture of the festival There was something cool about seeing jerseys for teams from all over the country, and I enjoyed using the festival as a sort of referendum on where people were coming from, or at least what teams they like. For example, who would’ve thought there would see so many Buffalo Bills jerseys here the Fresno-raised-turned-Wyoming U-alum Josh Allen does seem like a real country boy Plus, it was fun to feel a sense of kinship whenever I passed somewhere wearing a Broncos jersey or one from one of my other Denver teams THE LOWSStagecoach does the women dirty (especially early afternoon acts like Avery Anna)You've probably heard this said before As if having no female headliners for the second time in the past four years wasn’t bad enough we watched several sets by women who deserved much higher billing and better set times than they got on Friday who was relegated to an early 30-minute set in the glorified closet that is the Toyota Music Den Luckily she seemed to be having the time of her life as she played to a packed crowd  (all the proof we needed that she was playing on too small of a stage) You couldn’t find any room for Anna in the Palomino or even the Bud Light Backyard Sierra Ferrell got better placement in the Palomino but also played a memorable set that left me feeling like she could’ve more than held her own on the Mane Stage And then there was Indio’s own American Idol champ Abi Carter, who was given a scant 20 minutes that came and went in a blink of an eye shortly after the gates opened Carter may still be trying to find her breakout hit but she still deserved better than that from her hometown festival More: Stagecoach 2025 review: Alana Springsteen shines but deserves a better stage and time slot while it probably created an intoxicating high for the artists themselves I think the lack of space inside made for a subpar experience for many who paid hundreds of dollars to attend and it’s hard serving food for upwards of 100,000 people at a festival But I couldn’t help but shake my head when I was handed a pulled-pork sandwich from one of the BBQ tents (and keep in mind this fest hypes its BBQ almost as hard as it does its music) and there there didn’t seem to be any bottles of barbecue in sight to apply some the sandwich didn’t taste half bad without it Stagecoach and Flavortown mayor Guy Fieri would surely have had a stroke if he saw this Paul Albani-Burgio covers growth, development and business in the Coachella Valley.

Wofford explained at the 2012 U.S. Eventing Association Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Lana duPont Wright “That those medals happened nearly 20 years apart gives you an insight into her abiding passion for all things equestrian.”  Wright made history by becoming the first woman to compete in Olympic eventing when she was named a member of the U.S Equestrian Team at the 1964 Tokyo Games aboard her fabled Mr and Wright—never one to brag—recalled that there were “not a lot of horses around from which to select a team Olympic selection was more about survival of the fittest.”  Wister breaking several bones in his jaw,” Wright recalled in the U.S Equestrian Team Book of Riding. “We were badly disheveled and shaken but Wister was nonetheless eager to continue We fell a second time near the end of the course we proved that a woman could get around an Olympic cross-country course and nobody could have said that we looked feminine at the finish.”  women joined one of the few Olympic sports where men and women compete on an equal basis,” Wofford said at the 2012 ceremony “Considering that eventing competitors are currently 88 percent female I would especially like for the ladies in the room tonight to consider a time We now take it for granted that women will stand on an Olympic podium Wright’s earliest memories of horses all include her mother who was a keen foxhunter and breeder of the legendary race horse Kelso.  “I would go out and hunt with her any time I could,” Wright said noting how much she also learned about horse care from her mother’s groom Wright began to focus more seriously on riding.  “My senior year I was able to go in my first event,” she said adding quickly that she knew very little about how a competition went [But] no one knew anything about the sport and everyone else lost their way or got eliminated so I ended up winning; it made me very hungry.”  H.] Stewart Treviranus held a clinic,” she said “Trish Gilbert was there; we built the cross-country and the steeplechase courses That was where I learned a little and also did more dressage with Richard Watjen at Sunnyfield farm in New York.”  In 1961 Wright realized her dream of competing at the Badminton Horse Trials (England) prior to which she spent two months in training with the legendary Capt Wister was one Mother had given me off the racetrack “He was a bit of a rogue and could buck me off whenever he chose but after a year or so he was all changed; he was awesome and took me to Badminton.”  Eventing in the United states was still very much in its infancy so arriving at Badminton was “an eye opener,” she admitted “But we did get around; we did all right.”  The 10th-place performance helped earn them their Olympic berth.  and when I look back I couldn’t have done any different because I was learning the best way I could,” Wright said of her eventing career Wright focused on her family and foxhunting Lucy and Beale (who was a successful event rider until her premature death from an illness in 2005).  But as an ambitious equestrienne with a quiet competitive streak So she mounted the box seat and garnered more international success.  “I took to driving when my eventing days were over because I didn’t have a horse to ride,” said Lana who went on to win team gold at the World Pairs Driving Championships with her Connemara ponies in 1991 She also founded and organized the Fair Hill Combined Driving Event in Maryland.  “because I just loved to investigate the countryside and would go out riding for miles without telling anyone,” she took up endurance riding Lana will be remembered as a pioneer for women in eventing but those who met her in the hunt field or watched her driving or endurance riding will attest to the many attributes that make her an all-round horsewoman worthy of a place in the history books.  and her achievement is incomparable; there never was anyone like Lana and there will never be anyone like her again,” Wofford said eventers will look at the list of Hall of Fame members there was an inductee like Lana duPont Wright… But only once the intensely shy and humble horsewoman demurred.  They deserved to go

contributions to enhance gender diversity and inclusiveness at RIT who was appointed dean of the College of Business in 1960 She was the first female dean at RIT and the first woman to lead a business

first full-time director of Women in Computing (WiC) in the computing college Verschage has helped grow and sustain the student organization and community that connects people across the university and beyond WiC has grown from 10 members to more than 60 and secured more than $900,000 in funding “I’ve always believed that representation matters—not just in who is present but in who feels like they truly belong,” Verschage said I saw firsthand how isolating it could be for women and marginalized groups That experience fueled my passion to create inclusive spaces where students not only see themselves reflected but also feel empowered to thrive.” WiC is dedicated to promoting the success and development of women and all gender minorities in their academic and professional careers Verschage supported the creation of an Allies committee to discuss gender-related issues in computing and host/support events to help encourage resolution “One of the first things I think of when I reflect on Lana’s leadership is empowerment,” said Gina Shevchuk assistant dean for Student Success in GCCIS “I admire how she grew WiC from a small idea into what it is today by empowering our students to take the lead The structure of WiC enables the students to lead committees which effectively put the power of the mission right into the hands of the students it aims to serve.” With WiC, Verschage has helped create the impactful WiCHacks program—RIT’s first all-women and gender minority hackathon The 24-hour collaborative programing event regularly gets more than 200 participants from across the northeast The group has also offered Girl Scout Badge Days in computing Verschage serves as the inaugural Title IX Deputy Coordinator for GCCIS and oversees the Computing Organization for Multicultural Students. She was also instrumental in creating ROCGirlHacks a mini-hackathon for middle and high school students that inspires the next generation of tech enthusiasts “The Edwina Award holds special meaning

of this mysterious here’s my take on Del Rey’s latest releases and how they’ve changed my predictions for the future of her music To me, “Henry, Come On” sounds straight out of Del Rey’s 2021 album, Blue Bannisters, echoing the lyricism and musicality she explores in tracks like “Violets for Roses” and “Sweet Carolina.” An achingly beautiful ballad with a cinematic take on older style country Come On” is a clear indicator of the Southern Gothic genre Del Rey ascribed to the album upon its original announcement While the upbeat modernity of “Tough” may have led some listeners astray in their predictions for Del Rey’s newest sound I’m certainly not disappointed with her old-school approach If you’re looking for the poppy twang of current chart-toppers in the industry the orchestral strings and slow crescendos characteristic of “Henry is the most obvious hallmark of its country inflections Verses like “Tell him that his cowgirl is gone” and “Soft leather blue jeans” are scattered throughout “Henry Come On” and will surely make their way into many a “Lana Summer” post on social media in the coming months.  Come On” made its entrance as another solid addition to Del Rey’s extensive repertoire “Bluebird” is my strong preference of the two Come On” is stunted by its attempts to stay within the bounds of straightforward It feels almost as if Del Rey hesitated to push the linguistic depth of “Henry Come On,” relying on literal inclusions of cowboy-inspired lyrics rather than delving as deeply as she could into country music’s signature storytelling style “Bluebird,” with an equally beautiful instrumental composition Where the lead single outright states the new direction of Del Rey’s music “Bluebird” quickly picks up and grows in warmth until its final acoustic chords With incorporations of her iconic chamber pop flair Del Rey’s vocal mastery in “Bluebird” is both soothing and harrowing a true testament to her classic trifecta: deep-cut lyricism cinematic instrumentation and timelessly beautiful vocals.  Based on these past two drops, I can’t say for certain what Del Rey’s May album holds in store. In all likelihood, she will mimic the country music entrances of other well-known artists in recent years. If you’re familiar with Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion (2024) and Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter (2024) you’ll know that both artists put their signature spin on country making sure to include influences from the musical styles that originally made them famous — pop for Malone and hip-hop with bluesy R&B elements for Beyoncé Based on what we’ve seen so far from both tracks especially “Bluebird,” Del Rey intends to do the same incorporating uplifting vocals with an Americana style that is sure to stand out in the coming summer months Charlotte Feehan is a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences Although singer Lana Del Rey is known for her melancholic she showed she has the chops for the Stagecoach crowd as she played a special country set Friday night in the Palomino tent Rey has teased a foray into country music for a few years now is expected to have elements of the genre sprinkled in with her classic indie pop vibe The singer debuted a number of recent singles and new songs during her Stagecoach set while also bringing her ethereal and dreamy song stylings to the forefront Rey's whole set channeled a 1950s Americana vibe as she was wearing a white dress and had her hair in short curls Her backdrop consisted of a wooden cabin with a wide porch where you could picture someone sitting out front and listening to her tunes from a rocking chair all day long Surrounded by greenery hanging from the ceiling and on the stage too the audience felt transported to a far away land and the only thing they had to pay attention to was Rey's smooth and powerful voice More: Lana Del Rey setlist: Everything the indie singer sang during her Stagecoach 2025 set It took a while for Rey to emerge from the cabin — the set began about 10 minutes late — and the first glimpse people got of her was her silhouette from one of the windows But when she finally kicked things off with a new song (we think it's called "Husband of Mine") the crowd couldn't contain their excitement The singer was visibly in shock at how many people turned out for her in the ultra-packed Palomino "It never (ceases to) surprise me, the volume of a crowd," she said at one point. Though Rey shouldn't be so surprised at her draw, she did headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival last year, after all The singer recently released the singles "Henry Come On" and "Bluebird" off her upcoming album which blend Americana and country sounds with her usual sultry and melancholic style Though the songs have only been out for a few days fans in the audience were already belting the lyrics out and those who weren't familiar with them were fully enjoying the easy listening vibe and swaying back and forth the latter song was performed by what appeared to be a hologram of Rey Perhaps this will join the music festival hologram hall of fame right after the Tupac moment at Coachella 2012 A few other debuts at the festival also had a similar blend of her typical sound as she showed off a bit of spunk at her impressive career achievements touting her "57.5 million listeners on Spotify." But don't let her confident remarks fool you Rey was very generous with her spotlight Friday night bringing out several pals to share the stage during her set with whom she sang his tune "Cowboy Songs." When they finished the song Rey requested that they sing the chorus one more time but because she said she was having issues with her mic pack (she had been fiddling with it earlier in the set as well) Given how great she sounded during the evening and how well the sound was coming through the speakers it was hard to believe she was experiencing any problems she welcomed The Secret Sisters country-folk duo consisting of Laura Rogers and Lydia Slagle along with a handful of background singers brought a soulful and angelic version of Rey's "Let the Light In" to life Rey returned to a number of her hits/fan favorites from the past The crowd had their phones up and were singing along to the words of "Ride," "Video Games" and "Norman F****** Rockwell" when they were performed one after the other came out in a red strapless dress and started singing from the words "I got my red dress on tonight." her background dancers and production design deserve a lot of praise as they were enchanting to watch as well During one of Rey's new hauntingly delicate songs the dancers were playing with a dollhouse before entering the cabin which appeared to be burning (mimicking the lyrics to the song) The female dancers were also often seen on the roof of the home and waving to audience members The audience was in the palm of her hands all night and she knew exactly what to do to send festivalgoers off with one last smile on their faces: Sing a cover of John Denver's "Take Me Home It was a joyous singalong that everyone in the Palomino could get behind With a grand showcase of her vocal talents and new music Rey proved that she feels right at home in the Americana/country genre If only May 21 would come sooner so we could hear the full album Ema Sasic covers entertainment and health in the Coachella Valley Reach her at ema.sasic@desertsun.com or on Twitter @ema_sasic Indie pop singer Lana Del Rey channeled Americana glam during her Stagecoach country music festival performance on Friday night who headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festivals in 2024 showcased her more country-leaning songs off of her upcoming album Here's everything Rey sang during her Stagecoach set: Lana Del Rey finally shared the first glimpse of her alligator tour guide husband months after tying the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony The globally known musician turned to her Instagram handle on Monday to release an adorable photo featuring herself and her life partner who married the alligator tour guide in a private wedding ceremony in September last year was seen sharing a PDA-filled moment with Jeremy The other caption frame showed the singer's undergarments which she wore for her appearance at the 2025 Met Gala ceremony the Born to Die crooner has not revealed the outfit that she would sport at the highly-anticipated star-studded event Del Rey sparked controversy after a report claimed that the singer had not signed the prenup documents while marrying her life partner who was previously married to his first wife the Summertime Sadness singer debunked the speculations by performing a song "Husband of mine / Don't let them put all this paper between us."

fan speculation and rumor “I Must Be Stupid for Being So Happy” and “Roses Bloom for You” Her two singles released so far utilize twangy finger-plucked guitar and layered country textures to backdrop  Del Rey’s lyrics of melancholy.  They solidly establish the predicted country influences with the usage of common Southern slang and imagery The singles together express the sentiment that yes he left her, as they are all doomed to do. Painted first in the lyrics of Henry, Come On Lana sang about hearing God say to her “You were born to be the one/To hold thе hand of the man /Who flies too close to thе sun” In Blue Bird she expands on the imagery of Icarus to explain the habit of pushing her partner to fulfill their density of doom for the relationship Sung in the chorus of Blue Bird “Just shoot for the sun ’til I can finally run”.  A story of staying despite her belief the relationship is doomed This resulted in self-sabotage by encouraging his pursuit of the sun The record starts strong with a carefully curated old classic Southern tale of self-reflection Primarily a reflection of her habits in love and losing it most likely brought on by this being the first album she’s released since her recent marriage The foundation she’s built preceding the release and her historical thematic schemes of glamour Fans can prepare for a record to continue her musical legacy that has defined and reshaped the sound of an entire generation Comment * document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "abe571cd8d38f8fa6b551c2e0afb64c0" );document.getElementById("ac1bbe114b").setAttribute( "id" and website in this browser for the next time I comment About Us Team Members Aeolus Magazine Daytona State College FCSPA Email: inmotion@daytonastate.edu Facebook Instagram Twitter ShareSaveCommentBusinessHollywood & EntertainmentLana Del Rey Scores Back-To-Back Hit SinglesByHugh McIntyre with a focus on the global charts.Follow AuthorMay 02 08:30am EDTShareSaveCommentLana Del Rey’s new single “Bluebird” debuts on three U.K More “Candy Necklace” returns to the physical rankings CALIFORNIA - APRIL 26: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Lana Del Rey performs with Jelly Roll at the T-Mobile Mane Stage during the 2025 Stagecoach Festival on April 26 (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Stagecoach) She has released two singles from the effort and earned back-to-back wins in the United Kingdom, with one tune arriving this frame and pushing its predecessor down on multiple rankings. “Bluebird” is the latest single taken from Del Rey’s upcoming, as-yet-untitled album. This frame, the song opens on a trio of charts in the U.K., thanks largely to her devoted following showing up to purchase it. “Bluebird” debuts highest on the Official Singles Downloads chart, starting at No. 49. It doesn’t open much lower on the Official Singles Sales tally, where it enters at No. 53. Del Rey’s latest track also manages to find its way onto the Official Singles chart, coming in at No. 80. That tally accounts for both sales and streaming activity. However, as “Bluebird” does not appear on the list of the most-streamed tunes in the country, it seems that purchases on platforms like iTunes and Amazon are largely responsible for its debut position. Last week, Del Rey scored another new hit. “Henry, Come On” opened in an even loftier position than “Bluebird” has this frame. Now in its second turn on multiple tallies, the cut is still present on all three of the charts where “Bluebird” opens, though it has slipped behind its successor. Just days ago, “Henry, Come On” launched at No. 30 on the Official Singles chart. Now, it has dropped more than 50 spaces to No. 84, which stands as its highest placement in the U.K. at the moment. It also descends noticeably to No. 89 on the downloads-only tally and barely holds on to a spot on the Official Singles Sales roster, where it plummets more than 30 slots to No. 96. A totally unrelated cut from Del Rey is also proving to be a bestseller in the U.K., helping her score multiple wins from different eras of her huge career. “Candy Necklace,” which is featured on her album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, returns to a pair of lists this frame. The cut, a collaboration with Jon Batiste — though he’s not credited on the U.K. rankings — frequently drops off and reappears on both the Official Vinyl Singles and Official Physical Singles charts. This time around, it becomes a top 40 win on both tallies, landing at Nos. 34 and 38, respectively, after not finding space just a few days ago.

Gerry Turner has been dating a woman named Lana since March 2025 Lana was an avid horseback rider, a regular at the gym, taught swimming lessons each summer and enjoyed her women’s Tuesday night golf league at Valley View Country Club. Her compassion extended to animals of all kinds; she volunteered to feed baby raccoons and was a proud dog mom to Maggie and Ollie. Those left to cherish her memory include her parents, Larry and Wanda Stahl of Cambridge; children, Olivia (Keegan) Smith of Davenport, IA, Drake McDonough of Cambridge, and Gavin McDonough of Cambridge; grandson, Emmett Smith; brother, Lonny (Naomi) Stahl of Cambridge; and several aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and cousins. The 39-year-old singer performed on night one of the post–Coachella music festival geared toward country music fans making it a bold venue for the debut of a new song that takes a shot at the “Last Night” singer “I guess kissing me kind of went to his head / If you want my secret to success / I suggest don’t go ATV-ing with him when you’re out west… This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from others are disappointed about the supposed confession In case you’re not familiar with Wallen’s list of controversies, let me catch you up. Most recently, the singer sparked outrage for abruptly leaving the Saturday Night Live stage in March before posting the meme-able quote “Get me to God’s country” on his Instagram story And that’s probably the most tame example of his “problematic” behavior since his breakout season of The Voice in 2014 he was sentenced to seven days in a DUI education center and two years supervised probation This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from though Del Rey has not shared the time frame for her alleged connection to Wallen While one comment with over 20,000 likes begged other fans not to “come for” Del Rey describing the lyrics as “shade,” another fan wrote The problem is that she was ok being with him even at the time.… He has been problematic for years.”
