[VIDEO PREMIERE] LANA DEL REY "NATIONAL ANTHEM"

America's new princess Lana Del Rey has premiered the video for the latest smash from her "Born To Die" LP, "National Anthem."

The clip, directed by Anthony Mandler (Cheryl's "Call My Name," Rihanna's "California King Bed"), features Del Rey play the roles of Marily Monroe and Jacqueliene Kennedy (Jackie O) and rapper A$AP Rocky play the role of John F Kennedy.

Mandler tells MTV:
"You see why I held back on talking about it; I didn't want to spoil anything. Anytime you're dealing with the American Camelot of the Kennedys, you're dealing with a packed powder keg," he said. "And really, what Lana was trying to do — this was her concept, she came to me with it, and I kind of dug it out with her — was really look and explore an archetype; just like Shakespeare wrote 'Romeo and Juliet,' and that became the archetype of the forbidden love story."

Catch the almost eight-minute video clip below. What do you think? WE LOVE IT.

"National Anthem" will be released as a single from July 9, with "Both To Die" available today [iTunes]
