But Del Rey said "people are still able this week to remotely access my phone and leak our songs and personal photos," so she raised concerns about "what's going to be out there" and urged fans "please don't listen" to any leaked music they might see online. "I'm hoping that nothing else becomes available or stolen," she added.
"Despite all this happening, I am confident in the record to come," Del Rey said, though she called this a "roadblock in terms of the creative process" and explained she'll have to "start over" on the book, which she loved "with all of my heart."
Del Rey will be featured on Taylor Swift's new album Midnights, which drops on Friday.
