So far, Love is slated to open for Del Rey at a handful of shows, including Dallas and Los Angeles, for the Endless Summer Tour in promotion of Ultraviolence. It’s hard to say whether or not the tour will morph into a trainwreck as a result, but the real question is: will Frances Bean attend a performance to see her mother perform onstage?
