Expressing her gratitude, Del Rey opened by saying on her Instagram post, "Thank you guys. For f--king everything."
The 38-year-old singer shared that she had just overcome laryngitis shortly before taking the stage. Del Rey then individually acknowledged her team members while criticizing her tour manager for unexpectedly resigning 37 days before the performance.
The "Video Game" hitmaker expressed gratitude to Emily for taking on the role of tour manager after Pete unexpectedly left his position.
"(Thank you,) Emily, for stepping up as tour manager when Pete quit for no reason after 15 years because he was butt hurt that I got 10 comped bikes for free from Wally and randomly decided he was more of a stage designer than a tour manager."
The artist claimed that she had not received any communication from Pete and does not expect to in the future, yet she remains appreciative of the 15 years they shared.
Expressing Gratitude
Expanding on the dispute, Del Rey explained that her former tour manager felt slighted that she received ten complimentary bicycles from stunt coordinator Wally Crowder. In a sudden turn of events, he began asserting his stage design expertise over his tour manager role.
"No worries - 37 days was more than enough time to put together an entire headlining set all by ourselves," Del Rey added. "Not stressful at all. Way to go Emily you f--king killed it with grace."
Further expressing her gratitude, the "Young and Beautiful" singer extended her thanks to Ben Mawson and Ed Millett, her supportive managers. Adding a touch of humor, she playfully remarked, "Should you choose to depart this year, drop me a note - 15 years is quite the journey for all of us."
Within her latest update, Del Rey showcased glimpses from the renowned Californian festival, capturing memorable moments with unexpected guests such as Billie Eilish, Jack Antonoff, and Jon Batiste.
Del Rey is all set to take the Coachella Stage once again this Friday, April 19, at 11:20 PM.
