Lana, who in September last year, said on stage: “I kissed Morgan Wallen. I guess kissing me kind of went to his head. If you want my secret to success, I suggest don’t go ATV-ing with him when you’re out West.”

Before debuting the lyric, she quipped: "This is the last time I’m ever gonna say this line."

Lana revealed her 10th studio album back in November, hinting at new tunes on . She wrote at the time: "Happy for you to hear a few songs coming up before Stagecoach."

"We're going country. It's happening. That's why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years."

She added: "If anything, it will just be a little lighter lyrically, and more pointed in a classic country, American, or Southern Gothic production - which again, so many of my songs already are."
