Then, since Lana was late due to a hair emergency and we can only assume her 'do remained unfinished, her hairdresser came on stage to finish up the remaining touches of Lana's hair while she sang, "Bartender."

Was it performance art? Or just an I-don't-give-a-fuck moment? Who knows. But iconic.

"can we sing to you Video Games together?"

Because of the shortened setlist, another one of Lana's hits, usually saved as an encore, "Summertime Sadness," didn't make the cut. So instead, Lana, barefoot in front of the stage, sang to the front row crowd.

Lana Del Rey Delivered A Truly Chaotic Set At Glastonbury That Ended With Her Getting Escorted Offstage

A lot happened when Lana Del Rey showed up to perform at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK on Saturday.

First, Lana showed up to her set 30 minutes late.

Lana explained to the crowd, "I was so fucking late that I am about to rush this set today. If they cut power, they cut power. I’m super fucking sorry. My hair takes so long to do. I love you to death. Let’s keep on running the set as it’s supposed to go."

Like Coachella, the festival enforces a curfew for the main stages due to the sound carrying over to the residents that live nearby, which inevitably meant Lana's setlist would get shortened.

Then, since Lana was late due to a hair emergency and we can only assume her 'do remained unfinished, her hairdresser came on stage to finish up the remaining touches of Lana's hair while she sang, "Bartender."

The set did end early, and the power shut off as scheduled. Apologetically, Lana then mouthed to the crowd, "Can we sing to you 'Video Games' together?" The crowd enthusiastically agreed.

Fans were ultimately divided with the performance, some accepting that this is Lana, while others were disappointed they weren't able to experience the full show.

All in all, it sounded like a wild ride.
