What is the Lana Cult?

The Lana Cult is simply a self-assigned name for fans who love Lana Del Rey and want her to feature prominently on TikTok and social media. They're doing this by using the same selfie of the Video Games singer, which sees her smiling to camera as a car behind her is engulfed in flames.

Fans are either changing their own profile pictures to the same image or adapting their own selfies to feature the same background in support of the star.

The trend may seem pretty pointless, but the #LanaCult hashtag has amassed 48.6 million views TikTok and counting.

Plus, her fans are encouraging the same sort of love and dedication on Twitter.
