Draft:Lana Del Rey on Saturday Night Live

On January 14, 2012, Lana Del Rey performed two songs from her album Born to Die on Saturday Night Live. She received a negative response from various critics and the general public, who deemed the performance uneven and vocally shaky. She had earlier defended her spot on the program, saying: "I'm a good musician ... I have been singing for a long time, and I think that [SNL creator] Lorne Michaels knows that ... it's not a fluke decision."

In the following show, her performance was parodied by Kirsten Wiig.

In a 2019 interview between Del Rey and Elton John, John said that "I've watched it, and it wasn't that bad!"
