AceShowbiz - As Taylor Swift brings her record-smashing "Eras Tour" to the U.K., she has the full support and admiration of close friend and collaborator Lana Del Rey. Del Rey praised Swift's tireless work ethic and ambition in achieving her groundbreaking success.
"She wants it," Del Rey, 38, told BBC News. "She's told me so many times that she wants it more than anyone. And how amazing, she's getting exactly what she wants." The "Norman F**king Rockwell!" artist added, "She's driven, and I think it's really paid off," referring to Swift featuring Del Rey on her album, "Midnights".
Swift, 34, kicks off the U.K. leg of her "Eras Tour" on Friday, June 7 with three nights at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium. She'll also play shows in Cardiff, Wales, Liverpool, and an astounding eight dates at London's iconic Wembley Stadium. As the "Anti-Hero" singer continues shattering records, her peers in the British music scene are in awe of her talents and perseverance. The admiration is well-deserved, as Swift's latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department", recently marked its sixth straight week atop the Billboard 200.
Del Rey summarized that the singer is laser-focused on achieving her loftiest ambitions, saying, "She's told me so many times that she wants it more than anyone. And how amazing, she's getting exactly what she wants." Last month, dressed in a wild Alexander McQueen look, Del Rey spoke with ET on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Calling Swift's new album, "The Tortured Poets Department", "beautiful," the "Summertime Sadness" singer also named her favorite track off the 31-song album. "It's the one, 'Whose Afraid of Little Old Me', whatever that title was," Lana told ET.
