Lana del Rey's 'Freak' video was inspired by an acid trip at a Taylor Swift show

There were times when attendees of Taylor Swift’s 1989 World Tour probably felt they were on hallucinogens, like when Lisa Kudrow sang “Smelly Cat.”

Or, if you’re Josh Tillman, also known as Father John Misty, you are actually on acid.

At the premiere of Lana del Rey’s new video for “Freak” at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, Lana del Rey said the video in which she actually puts a tab of acid on Tillman’s tongue was inspired by — wait for it — an acid trip he took at a Tswift show.

The show in question took place in Australia, a good place to get high by the beach and, apparently, eat noodles.

This place has the best late night ramen if you’re out and about and need something cheap and good.

Tillman was taking Swift’s lyrics, “I can show you incredible things/ Magic, madness, heaven, sin,” very seriously, apparently.

Lana also performed an acoustic version of “West Coast” at the event.

The video is about drugs. Did you get that? Drugs.
