Did Riley Keough use Elvis Presley's guitar strap in her new show, "Daisy Jones & the Six"?

After revealing that she lied about her singing skills during the audition, Lisa Marie Presley's daughter successfully scored Daisy Jones' role in the Prime Video series, "Daisy Jones & the Six."

The series, which explores the life of a fictional lead member of a fictional 1970s rock group, premiered this month.

Following the release of the series, viewers were left shocked as they noticed that Keough was wearing a guitar strap that looked similar to what the late King of Rock and Roll used in his "'68 Comeback Special."

While it suggested that she paid homage to Presley by using his strap, a representative for the series said Keough, indeed, paid tribute to her grandfather. However, the guitar strap is actually a replica called the New Yorker / the Woodstock model made by Ace Strap company.

The representative for the series told People details about the strap after fans praised producers for their "attention to detail" in making the series.


Although she used a replica of the strap, Keough told BuzzFeed that she used her own guitar while portraying her character in the show.

Aside from the strap, the series remembered Presley through the jumpsuits Keough wore, which were made by Melody Sabatasso.

With her growing love for music, she was asked whether she would pursue a music career after starring in "Daisy Jones & the Six."

Keough then expressed her desire to follow in her late mother Lisa Marie Presley and grandfather's footsteps, saying, "never say never."

"Elvis" Movie Soundtrack Deluxe Edition Trends Worldwide

Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" made buzz again after it released the deluxe edition of its soundtrack on March 7.

On top of the previously released songs, the album features 15 more tracks including unreleased recordings of the late singer: "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" "Heartbreak Hotel," "Blue Suede Shoes," and "Crawfish" (recorded live on set).

The deluxe edition also has Austin Butler's "Fly Away Weave," BIGBANG G-Dragon's cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love," Paul Oakenfold's remix of "Rubberneckin'," Kodi Smit-McPhee's "How Do You Think I Feel," and Jamieson Shaw's apocryphal "Toxic Las Vegas," which is mash-up of Britney Spears' hit tracks "Toxic" and "Viva Las Vegas."

"Featuring everything from previously unreleased recordings by Austin Butler to contemporary takes on Elvis's classics and a fresh mash-up with the Backstreet Boys, the Deluxe album reveals all the complex layers of Austin's performance, Elvis's music and those who continue his legacy," Luhrmann said.
