Speaking to Rolling Stone about the performance, Del Rey said: "I actually felt good about it. I thought I looked beautiful and sang fine.
"There's backlash about everything I do. It's nothing new. When I walk outside, people have something to say about it."
She added: "It wouldn't have mattered if I was absolutely excellent. People don't have anything nice to say about this project. I'm sure that's why you're writing about it."
Fame Academy's David Sneddon - who worked with Del Rey on her debut album Born To Die - recently defended the star from claims that she is manufactured.
