Karina Cisneros Juarez, a local Alaba resident was super ecstatic on meeting her longtime idol, Lana Del Rey. She wrote on Facebook:

"To say I am ecstatic is an understatement!!! LANITA ❤️ I have been a huuuge fan of Lana Del Rey for over a decade, so meeting her today was truly insane"

Karina told the local website, AL.com about her surreal experience. She said:

“It was a bit surreal. I just told her how much I loved her music and her work in general. She was super lovely and incredibly nice.”

Lana Del Rey last made headlines in March, when she released her ninth studio album, "Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd". Fans speculate that a line from her song, "Paris, Texas" from the aforementioned album had something to do with her Alabama Waffle House appearance. The line goes:

"I took a train to Spain, just a notebook in my hand/Then I went to see some friends of mine, down in Florence, Alabama."

However, the singer is yet to comment on why she was working at Waffle House.
