Lana Del Rey was just along for the 2024 Grammys "ride."

On Wednesday, the “A&W” singer, 38, addressed her experience at the Grammys in the comments section on Instagram.

"I literally just loved being there. I love to see everyone, get the tea and hang out. Get dressed up," Del Rey said.

She added: "I literally did not feel 1 ounce of negative emotion at any point in that award ceremony. It was pure funniness and laughter."

The pop star wore a stunning floral black dress with puff sleeves and a coquette bow in her hair, accessorizing with bow-flanked little black gloves and a black handbag and Fred Leighton jewels. Del Rey had even more bows on her heels.

Taylor Swift — who won album of the year for her 10th studio album Midnights and featured Del Rey on the track "Snow by the Beach" — brought Del Rey up as she accepted her award from global icon Céline Dion, who made a rare appearance amid her diagnosis with incurable neurological disorder, stiff person syndrome (SPS).

The 14-time Grammy winner, 34, also praised friends Del Rey and Jack Antonoff during her acceptance speech.

"I get to work with one of my best friends who is not only one of my best friends but also a once-in-a-generation producer. That's Jack Antonoff. I'm so lucky," she began.

After thanking her co-writers, Swift added: "But I think so many female artists would not be where they are and would not have the inspiration they have if it weren't for the work that [Lana has] done. I think she's a legacy artist, a legend in her prime right now. I'm so lucky to know you and to be your friend."
