Lana Del Rey stans trust @lanadelreybr, and for good reason. Well-known amongst the Lana stan brain trust, it’s the account one goes to if they want to know what’s happening with our March 2023 cover star before anyone else. The account posts constantly, several times a day, and appears to contain nearly every selfie LDR’s ever taken, across her multiple eras. Now, at long last, Lana is coming to Brazil, so we asked Samuel, the young and studious Lana stan who runs the account, to answer some invasive questions about his internet habits for this week’s SEARCH HISTORY.
