Lana Del Reymay have a spellbinding stage presence, but that doesn’t mean she’s conjuring the devil.
The songstress, 38, recently clapped back at aChristian influencerwho accused her of inviting demonic energy into her concerts.
Avideo postedseveral weeks ago from internet personalityTraci Coston, accusing the singer-songwriter of summoning “demons that will destroy your life,” has since gone viral after Del Rey commented a response several days ago.
She added, “PS you’re giving off super gremlin energy. Not in a good way.”

In Coston’soriginal TikTok/Instagram Reel, she captioned the post, “Demonic Energy Knocks Over Lana Del Rey Crowd 😲😵💫 #lanadelrey #witchcraft #demons #reels,” and referred to one of the singer’s recent concerts.
“Lana Del Rey has been open about practicing witchcraft and, y’all, look what happened at one of her concerts. This stuff is so real,” the influencer alleged.
Coston added, “Whatever witchcraft Lana Del Rey is doing, whatever spells she’s putting on her music to make it attractive, those demons are being invited into the crowd and into you when you attend. These demons will destroy your life.”
The “A&W” artist has been vocal about both her Christian faith and interest in the occult throughout her career.
