Fans often idolize celebrities – hoping to meet them and snap a photo. However, these encounters can sometimes go wrong, which can leave both the celebrity and fans frustrated. This is exactly what happened to Lana Del Rey recently.

Her music creates a dreamy, relaxed mood. The pop star’s performances are more slow and smooth than full of energy. This reflects her calm demeanor, but she recently lost that calm.

The singer reportedly had a heated altercation with a group of people in Paris who were following her around and taking pictures of her. The incident, which took place on Friday, was caught on video and has since gone viral.
