So much can go wrong during a live performance: injuries, technical difficulties, flubbed notes, or perhaps worst of all… a missing vape. And Lana Del Rey fell victim to the latter during a set at the MITA Festival in Rio De Janeiro this past weekend.
As seen in various videos posted on social media, the singer-songwriter was mid-performance, with the band beginning the intro to her song “Norman F—ing Rockwell,” when she slipped in a simple request for the audience: “And also if you see my vape on stage, can you find my vape on stage?”
The crowd cheered in response, and Del Rey then addressed a fan who seemed to have spotted something. “You did?” Del Rey asked, immediately taking the mic off its stand and making her way toward the front of the sage. “Where, though? Oh, all the way in the pit?”
With the vape seemingly out of reach, Del Rey gave up. “F— it,” she said, returning to her performance. It’s unclear if the vape was ever retrieved.
