Courting Controversy: Lana Del Rey's 'National Anthem'


Lana Del  Rey

Have you seen this video? Balls + Guts + Nuts!! Lana Del Rey teamed up with Anthony Mandler for one of the boldest music videos of the year. 

Lana plays Jackie, to black rapper A$AP Rocky's John F. Kennedy. The pair rehashes JFK's 1963 assassination in startling fashion and she even takes on the role of JFK's side-chick, Marilyn Monroe.
She sings a haunting rendition of Marilyn's "Happy Birthday Mr. President" at the start of 7 minute long video.

Apparently, Lana's record label tried to stop her from releasing the video.  She, of course, stuck to her guns and told them to eat it. I ain't mad at her!

Check out some of the stills from the video, as well as the video in its entirety below:
