<p>The singer-songwriter, 34, recently released a song in response to the massacres titled &#8220;Looking For America&#8221;. She said the money raised would go to charities helping victims of the shootings.</p>
<p>Speaking with BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac on Tuesday, the Blue Jeans singer said the most recent spate of shootings had left her close friends “very upset” in a way she had not seen before.</p>
<p>Del Rey said they now feared a mass shooting could occur at their home town’s holiday event.</p>
<p>She said: <em>“California and New York – I was between both states when that double mass shooting happened, when I released that song.</em></p>
<p><em>“People were very upset in a way that personally I have not heard my friends talk before.</em></p>
<p><em>“I mean (they were) crying: ‘Is it going to be next at our holiday parade?’</em></p>
<p><em>“It was really scary because at that point it was a really large number of people who had been shot and it’s only August.</em></p>
<p><em>“Especially now on my phone, when you wake up you’ve got your news feed right there.</em></p>
<p><em>“You see it. You see the headline that there is a mass shooting in Kansas. You keep scrolling.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s like it’s every few days. It’s time to stop and ask why.”</em></p>
<p>Incidents at a food festival in Gilroy, California, a shopping centre in El Paso, Texas, and in central Dayton, Ohio, reignited the fierce debate over gun control in America.</p>
<p>The Grammy-nominated artist also explained the meaning behind the title of her forthcoming sixth studio album, Norman F****** Rockwell.</p>
<p>She said that by adding a swear word in between the American author, painter and illustrator’s first and last names, she was making a comment on the American Dream.</p>
<p><em>“Obviously, I am not a highly political writer,”</em> she said.</p>
<p><em>“I haven’t in the past had a lot of political songs.</em></p>
<p><em>“But it also reminded me that if I put the effing in between the Norman and Rockwell it is really like a commentary, like an exclamation point on the American Dream.</em></p>
<p><em>“Like, where are we now in the American Dream? Well, Norman effing Rockwell. This is where we have come? We are kind of in a state of exclamation.</em></p>
<p><em>“Culturally, everything is super different, I feel, today than it was 10 years ago. It’s a lot more fiery and fun and there’s a lot more different personalities.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s definitely an interesting time and it called for an interesting title.”</em></p>
<p>Norman F****** Rockwell is released on August 30.</p>
