\n\tIt seems that the alt-pop girls are fighting after Lana Del Rey<\/a> posted a song snippet taking aim at Ethel Cain<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tIn a post to her Instagram<\/a> on Thursday (Aug. 14), Del Rey shared a video clip of herself with the caption \u201cTrack 13\u201d and tagging producer Jack Antonoff, in which she calls out the \u201cAmerican Teenager\u201d singer by name. \u201cEthel Cain hated my Instagram post\/ Think it\u2019s cute re-enacting my Chicago pose,\u201d she sings in the clip. Later in the snippet, she refers to \u201cthe most famous girl at the Waffle House.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFans were quick to dissect the new lyrics, pointing to the headline<\/a> of a 2022 New York Times<\/em> profile on Cain as the source of Del Rey\u2019s \u201cmost famous girl at the Waffle House\u201d line. Other fans clocked a since-deleted photo Cain shared with Salem member Jack Donoghue, and its similarities<\/a> to a 2022 photo Del Rey took with him outside the Cook County Department of Corrections as the inspiration behind the \u201cChicago pose\u201d line.<\/p>\n \n\tDel Rey herself appeared to weigh in on the cryptic lyrics in a since-deleted comment on a Pop Base Instagram post<\/a> about the snippet. \u201cI didn\u2019t know who Ethel was until a few years ago \u2014 when someone brought to my attention the disturbing and graphic side-by-side images she would often put up of me next to unflattering creatures and cartoon characters making constant comments about my weight, I was confused at what she was getting at,\u201d she wrote<\/a> in the comment. \u201cThen when I heard what she was saying behind closed doors from mutual friends and started inserting herself into my personal life I was definitely disturbed.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tCain appeared to comment<\/a> on the whole ordeal in a Instagram Stories post on Thursday morning, when she wrote \u201cupdate: lana del rey has blocked ethel cain on instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBillboard <\/em>has reached out to reps for Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain for comment. <\/p>\n \n\tCain recently shared her long-awaited sophomore album, Willoughby Tucker, I\u2019ll Always Love You<\/em>, and is currently touring<\/a> North America in support of the new release. Del Rey, meanwhile, has been teasing new music during a series of recent live shows, including her unreleased track \u201c57.5<\/a>.\u201d The singer previously released her singles \u201cBluebird\u201d and \u201cHenry, Come On\u201d in 2025, though she has yet to announce official plans for her 10th studio album.<\/p>\n \n\tSee Lana Del Rey\u2019s Instagram post below:<\/p>\n \t
