Singer Lana Del Rey is no stranger to making headlines and inspiring a ton of attention as a result.

The 39-year-old "Summertime Sadness" singer's tendency to shock her fans with her sudden actions isn't new. Del Rey's fans and critics were surprised to see her take a job as a Waffle House waitress last year, and more recently when she suddenly wed her boyfriend Jeremy Dufrene.

The couple was seen attempting to obtain a marriage license last month and quietly wed soon afterward.

The "West Coast" singer rarely comments on her relationship publicly, but she was determined to knock her critics down a notch, by defending her new marriage and husband.

The "Say Yes To Heaven" is through with Dufrene's character being dragged through the metaphorical mud. Taking to her public Instagram account, (she has been notorious for having a private account in the past), she defended her man in the comments of a fan's video.

According to Bustle, Del Rey commented on a post featuring her and Dufrene taking a private moment to sit while at a restaurant. She also detailed her frustration with the local paparazzi, who were responsible for shooting the video.

"Unfortunately, a local couple from Houma won’t stop flying drones into our windows every morning and following us with a tracker," Del Rey explained.

She then shared details of the paparazzi's attempts to follow the couple around.

"But if Sara Michelle Champagne and Kruesch could stop switching vehicles following the family — and stop following us around remote parts of the country and photo-shopping my wedding ring into a pearl — I know we would feel a lot safer," Del Rey continued. The publication detailed the duo Del Rey mentioned were local paparazzi.

The "Video Games" songstress was quick to share her happiness! She added, "All that being said Jeremy is the one and only," she said, per the publication. "And amazing. And we're very happy."

Del Rey is no stranger to defending herself on social media. Last year, she spoke up about an incredibly personal topic after coming under fire for witchcraft accusations!

As The Blast previously reported, an influencer slammed the singer for "promoting witchcraft" due to her audience seemingly acting bizarrely during a concert; Del Rey called them a "gremlin" for their accusations.

The Christian influencer pointed to past interviews where the "Lust For Life" singer was thought to allude to having witchcraft experience. The influencer turned comments off on the post in question.

"B**ch, I know the Bible verse way better than you do," Del Rey clapped back in the post's comment section. "PS you're giving off super gremlin energy. Not in a good way."

Keeping herself in a blissful bubble is how Del Rey seems to prefer living life alongside her partners. The beginnings of her relationship with Dufrene were also reminiscent of the low-key way the duo are celebrating life as newlyweds.

The "Margret" singer was said to purposefully keep her pop star identity from Dufrene when they first started getting to know one another.

Insiders explained to the Daily Mail that Del Rey didn't "immediately" tell her man who she was. Keeping her fame under wraps felt "refreshing" to the "Lost At Sea" songstress, as previously reported by The Blast.
