Lana Del Rey had a tough time naming her favorite song from pal Taylor Swift‘s new album The Tortured Poet’s Department.

The Ultraviolence hitmaker, 38, was asked about Swift’s, 34, record during a red carpet interview, as she made her return to the Met Gala in New York City, after a six-year hiatus.

When questioned if she had a ‘favorite jam’ from the album, Lana took a moment to think before responding, ‘It’s the one uhh, “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me,”‘ she replied, adding, ‘Whatever that title was.’

The songbird — born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant — actually got the title right, though she didn’t seem to realize it.

While at the event she also posed with Swift’s nemesis Kim Kardashian, 43 — who sparked shock reactions with her thin waist —  after Taylor made a pointed diss at the reality star on the album, reigniting their long-standing feud.

Lana branched out in a bizarre twiggy forest nymph dress and headpiece draped in a tulle veil at the event.

The singer left some heads scratching in the unconventional look, which consisted of a corseted custom beige gown designed by Alexander McQueen’s Seán McGirr.

The star took the ‘Garden of Time’ theme to heart, with her gown featuring brown branches throughout.

She accessorized the outfit by holding a single red rose in her hand. She also paired the look with chunky white clogs.

Lana — who recently teamed up with Kim for a Valentine’s Day SKIMS campaign — was joined by designer McGirr, who looked dapper in an all-black look.

He matched Lana’s rose with a dark rose-shaped brooch on his lapel.

Her unique headpiece forced Kim to duck out of the way a few times as Lana stood next to her during another red carpet interview.

Meanwhile Kim – who is known for her curvaceous figure and bodacious behind – showcased a wild body transformation in custom Maison Margiela, sparking shock reactions with her thin waist.

Lana and Taylor have known each other for around 10 years.

They’ve previously collaborated on the song ‘Snow on the Beach’ on Swift’s Midnights album, which was released in 2022.

Meanwhile Taylor and Kim have been at odds for a long time.

On her latest album Swift took jabs at Kim with a song titled Thank You Aimee — stylized as ‘thanK you aIMee,’ spelling out Kim in capital letters — which fans took to refer to Kardashian.

The ongoing feud between Taylor and Kim appears to trace back to the 2016 release of Kanye West’s The Life Of Pablo.

In that album’s song Famous, Kim’s ex-husband raps: ‘I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**** famous.’

The line, which alludes to when the 46-year-old rapper interrupted Taylor’s win at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, was supposedly passed on to the songstress for approval, but she denies ever giving it the OK.

Taylor said she had been contacted about the song, but she was ‘never made aware of the actual lyric, “I made that b**** famous.”‘

In an effort to prove Kanye’s version, Kim shared an edited clip from the studio of him calling up Taylor and seemingly getting her approval.

However, the clip shows him conveying the idea, more than the specific lyrics, and when the complete call later leaked it made it clear that the use of ‘b****,’ which seemed to be a major issue for Taylor, was left out completely.

The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City‘s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code is The Garden of Time.

Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth are this year’s co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue’s Anna Wintour.

‘This year’s co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,’ Vogue shared.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute’s permanent collection – with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.

The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky.

‘It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,’ said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.

The honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.
