Lana Del Rey performing Cherry live at Sziget Festival
In August 2018, Lana Del Rey delivered a mesmerizing live performance of "Cherry" at the Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary. This came right on the heels of her critically acclaimed album, "Lust for Life," released a year earlier, in July 2017. The album, known for its dreamy, lush soundscapes, marked her evolution as both a pop artist and a cultural icon. Fans were particularly excited since "Cherry" is a standout track that encapsulates her signature blend of nostalgic Americana and cinematic flair, resonating deeply with her audience. Interestingly, during this period, Del Rey was also engaging in quite a bit of press, suggesting her music was more than just a soundtrack but a conversation starter in pop culture, touching on themes of love, heartbreak, and longing.
