ALABAMA – A Waffle House fast-food outlet in Florence, Alabama, in the United States is hardly a go-to place for celebrity sightings.
But visitors to the restaurant last Thursday were surprised to find that the waitress serving coffee was none other than American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey.
Photos and videos circulated on social media showed Del Rey – whose real name is Elizabeth Grant – wearing a blue Waffle House uniform.
She even donned a large yellow name tag emblazoned with her stage name while chatting with customers and gamely taking wefies.
On social media, fans reacted with a mixture of excitement and bemusement, with one Twitter user saying: “Only Lana Del Rey can make working at a Waffle House romantic.”
“Waffle House employee of the month: Lana Del Rey,” joked another.
It is not known why the 38-year-old was in Alabama, but CNN reported that she has been seen in the area recently, patronising a local nail salon and Starbucks outlet.
