Lana Del Rey fans ran into some bad luck during her concert at Boston's Fenway Park Thursday night.

The Esthensinger's sold-out concert was delayed by two hours because of bad weather, Live Nation confirmed to USA TODAY Friday.

The show was delayed due to severe thunderstorms, and fans were evacuated from the field.

Rey, 39, checked in with fans in an Instagram story Thursday night. "They are holding the show off until 9:00 because of wind warnings," she wrote. "See you soon."

USA TODAY has reached out to Rey's reps for comment.

In a subsequent video posted on her story, the "Young and Beautiful" singer explained the reason for the delay.

"They just cleared the stage. So every time the lightning strikes, we have to wait 20 minutes. And it just keeps striking," she said. "So what we were hoping for was to fill the room back up by 10 o'clock and at least do an hour-long show. That's what we're hoping for bare minimum."

She continued: "Worst case scenario we reschedule for Saturday so, I don't know, I'm crossing my fingers. And I'm down here with all the girls, just hoping."

Rey eventually took the stage around 10:30 p.m. She played a nearly hour-long set, bringing out guests including Mason Ramsey, Stephen Sanchez and Quavo, the latter for their new collaboration, "Tough." Rey and Quavo first previewed the track on social media Wednesday.
