Lana Del Rey was seen working at Waffle House and we don't really know why.
There seems to be no 'Summer Sadness' for the singer who has been spotted absolutely loving life while working at a restaurant in Alabama this week.
The 38-year-old was filmed behind a counter at the restaurant in the city of Florence wearing the Waffle House uniform, complete with a name badge, the full lot.
Watch below as she stops mid-shift at Waffle House to sign a fan's poster:

As you can imagine, customers were shocked to find the multi-award-winning singer/songwriter pouring coffees and taking orders - but Del Rey was enjoying every minute as she happily posed for photos with fans.
Karina Cisneros Juarez managed to get a photo with the star - sharing it on Facebook with the caption: “To say I am ecstatic is an understatement!!!
“I have been a huuuge fan of Lana Del Rey for over a decade, so meeting her today was truly insane.”
Juarez told AL.com: “She was there, wearing a uniform and everything.
“It was a bit surreal. I just told her how much I loved her music and her work in general. She was super lovely, and incredibly nice.”
On social media, fans were left reeling after seeing shots of Del Rey, with one person saying: “She’s humble. I respect it.”
Another wrote: “She just wants to be normal I feel her.”
While a third commented: “Imagine just going to eat and Lana Del Rey is your waitress.”
Someone else joked: “Singer, actress, waitress, 10 minute songs, Waffle House employee. What is it Miss Lana Del Rey can’t do?”
“This is just so unbelievably Lana coded, she is so unserious,” added another.
While the singer is yet to reveal why, or for how long, she will be working at the Waffle House for, footage of her stopping mid-shift to sign a fan's poster has gone viral on socials.
It turns out she was signing a stolen 'Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd' poster.
"Yes I had it, I got it going from a snipe in San Francisco when they were putting Ellie Goulding up over it," explains the delighted fan as Del Rey signs the poster in the parking lot.
Back in 2021, while accepting Variety’s Artist of the Decade Award, the singer noted that she was ‘very flexible’ and had experienced ‘other job opportunities’ away from music.
Del Rey said that she had been ‘very lucky to follow my muse for the last 18 years’.
“Sometimes that has taken me super far away from music into other mediums and other job opportunities that have nothing to do with the arts at all,” she continued.
“I’m very flexible and what I’ve come to understand is that if you follow what you’re interested in, you’ll end up being the most creative in that field.
“Even if you get a 9-5 after you got the decade award, you need to do what feels right.”
