Random: Lana Del Rey Papped Buying a PS5 Ahead of Her 007 First Light Appearance
Singer Lana Del Rey was photographed purchasing a PlayStation 5 console alongside her husband Jeremy Dufrene on April 17th, 2026. The timing of the purchase comes just one day after Del Rey was announced as the vocalist for the theme song to the upcoming James Bond game 007 First Light.
Based on the photograph’s white packaging, the console appears to be a standard PS5 model rather than the premium PS5 Pro variant, which features black packaging. The purchase is notable given Del Rey’s previous musical references to video games, suggesting the artist may finally be upgrading to current-generation gaming hardware.
The timing of Del Rey’s purchase is somewhat unfortunate from a financial perspective. Sony increased PS5 pricing earlier in April 2026, meaning Del Rey may have paid more than she would have if she had purchased the console just days earlier. However, as a Grammy-nominated artist, the price difference is unlikely to be a significant concern.
The pairing of Del Rey’s announcement as the 007 First Light theme singer with her simultaneous console purchase has generated interest across social media, though it remains unclear whether the purchase was specifically timed to coincide with the game announcement or merely a coincidence.
