Lana Del Rey, the renowned singer-songwriter, recently concluded her 10-date fall tour in Charleston, West Virginia, and surprised her fans by announcing that she intends to donate all the proceeds from her ticket sales back to the cities she performed in.
The 38-year-old artist, known for hits like “Summertime Sadness,” made this generous announcement during her performance in Charleston. Fans in attendance captured the heartfelt moment when Del Rey expressed her gratitude to her audience and revealed her philanthropic intentions. She stated, “I just wanted to say thank you to you and just every city I’ve gone to before this. I also wanted to let you know, for what it’s worth, every ticket, every dollar, it is poured right back into the city.”
This act of generosity reflects Lana Del Rey’s commitment to giving back to the communities that have supported her music and live performances. Her fall tour primarily featured mid-sized southern U.S. cities, including Franklin, Tennessee, where the tour began in September, as well as Texas, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
This isn’t the first time Lana Del Rey has made a significant contribution to charitable causes. Before releasing her 2020 poetry book titled “Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass,” she publicly announced that half of her advance for the book would be donated to Dig Deep’s Navajo Water Project, an organization dedicated to providing the Navajo Nation with access to clean water. In a statement shared on her former Instagram account, Del Rey expressed her gratitude for receiving an advance from Simon and Schuster and her desire to support foundations in need, starting with those connected to the Navajo community. She highlighted the $350,000 donation made to the Dig Deep Water Project as a way to give back to those who have played a significant role in shaping the land.
In August, Lana Del Rey announced a successful North American tour in support of her ninth studio album, which was released to critical acclaim in March of that year. Alongside her tour dates, she also headlined several prominent music festivals throughout the summer. Del Rey delighted her fans during these performances with unexpected additions to her setlist, including a cover of Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man” and a special live debut of her song “Margaret,” featuring her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff.
Lana Del Rey’s dedication to giving back to her fans and the communities that support her music demonstrates her commitment to making a positive impact beyond her artistry. Her generosity serves as an inspiring example of using one’s success to benefit others and contribute to important charitable causes.
