Lana Del Rey Makes First Anfield Visit, Watches Liverpool’s Dramatic Victory Over Tottenham

Anfield played host to a rather famous celebrity visitor from the United States on Sunday — pop star Lana Del Rey.

The singer, whose album Born to Die charted at No. 1 in 11 countries last year, was making her first ever visit to Anfield to see the game against Tottenham Hotspur, and she turned out to be something of a lucky charm — as the Reds came from behind to win 3-2.

Before the game kicked off, Lana spoke exclusively to the official LFC website.

Liverpoolfc.com: Why are you at Anfield today?

Del Rey: I was introduced to Liverpool FC by my manager, Ben, whose mood is dependent on the Liverpool results. I love watching Luis Suarez play.

Liverpoolfc.com: What are your first impressions of the city and the football stadium?

Del Rey: It’s actually my second time in Liverpool but my first time at Anfield. The people in Liverpool are so friendly and the stadium’s really impressive.

Liverpoolfc.com: Are you a football fan and have you attended a match before?

Del Rey: I’ve not had the chance to attend a game before but I’ve watched Liverpool on TV before. It’s great to actually come to Anfield.

Liverpoolfc.com: Liverpool supporters will be delighted to hear you are at Anfield today and will want to know if you are now a Liverpool fan?

Del Rey: Yes! Liverpool are my team but I also support Celtic in Scotland, who are my boyfriend Barrie’s team.
