Lana Del Rey, an ancient Greek siren accidentally transported to modern times, has a new album out in March. It’s called, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd., which is also the name of the album’s lead single. What’s her next song, “You Know That There’s An Abandoned Subway Station Under Toronto’s Bay Station, Right?” Anywho, TooFab reports that Lana recently took to Instagram to reveal that she put up one billboard to promote her album. Just one. Its location? Tulsa, Oklahoma, which just so happens to be where her ex Sean Larkin lives. Petty, thy name is Del Rey.
This was no coincidence. Lana’s Instagram picture showed her sitting in her car with a view of the billboard in the background. The caption read: “There’s only one and it’s in Tulsa,” followed by a skull emoji. Lest you think this was an innocent coincidence, Lana doubled down in the comments: “It’s. Personal.”

” And that’s not all, folks. Lana chose to release her upcoming album’s title track on December 6, aka Sean’s birthday. Jesus! What did this man do to her? 37-year-old Lana and 49-year-old Sean, a now-retired reality TV cop, dated for six months, splitting their time between L.A. and Tulsa. They broke up in 2020, citing their “busy schedules.” After that, Lana got engaged to musician Clayton Johnson, but it didn’t last. This summer, she was linked to Jack Donoghue.
See, I don’t think this is the revenge win the Internet thinks it is. If Lana hadn’t posted about the billboard, and Sean happened to drive by and see it, sure! That’s revenge! He’s randomly reminded of her success and what he lost. But posting about the billboard totally defeats the purpose. Lana’s essentially telling the cop that he’s still on her mind more than two years after their breakup unless Sean was the one to break into her car and steal her laptop with her album and a 200-page book on it! Then that’s fresh beef!
