AceShowbiz - Lana Del Rey has a special treat for her fans. The "Carmen" singer has unveiled some sneak-peek photos of her upcoming "National Anthem" music video, where she will be playing Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis a.k.a Jackie O.
In one of the black-and-white pictures, Del Rey is featured sitting on the back seat of a convertible car. Channeling her inner U.S. First Lady persona, the New York-born singer dons a neat formal dress that she paired with a netted hat. Her eyes are covered with a tagline that reads, "Red White Blue Is in the Sky". On the lower part of the pic, there's another tagline that reads, "Summer Is in the Air and Baby Heaven's in Your Eyes."
The other image, meanwhile, shows the "Video Games" hitmaker standing behind a microphone near a presidential podium and a star spangled banner. In this picture, she sports a sexier look in a sparkling sleeveless long dress. Her eyes are covered with a tagline that reads, "Tell Me I'm Your National Anthem."
In the upcoming "National Anthem" clip, Del Rey will portray Jackie O while her duet partner, A$AP Rocky, will play former U.S. President John F. Kennedy. "Every so often, I top what I've done, and this video is definitely the most beautiful thing I've ever done," the 26-year-old singer gushed about the Anthony Mandler-directed video. "I wrote a treatment for me and A$AP Rocky, because I just thought he'd be really perfect to star in it... I love it."
"National Anthem" is lifted off Del Rey's latest album "Born to Die", which was released in the U.S. on January 27.
