I think buying fan-made merch is fine as long as they're not claiming it's the real thing. I've seen plenty of people buy knock-off t-shirts outside venues though because they run out of merch to sell inside or it's too expensive. I guess it depends from person to person.

I think it’s fine. I have two LDR shirts, one is from her store and one is from etsy. I prefer the fanmade one. Most artists won’t even care either (except Taylor Swift). Personally just go with whatever you’re likely gonna wear more. You usually have more/better options on redbubble including colour, so I’d probably go with that in a heartbeat. Lana probably won’t notice or care if she sees it either as long as you have the album in your hand. Who knows if she even remembers all her past merch by heart anyway lol.

As long as they aren't ripping off her official merch or anyone else's artwork or trying to promote it as official merch it's nbd. If you buy it you're supporting an independent artist who needs the business more than a millionaire.

I've had custom shirts made by reliable shirt-printing businesses, and I will say with certainty they have better quality than what I'd prolly get from Lana's official shop!

You’re supporting Lana’s career either way by advertising her on your clothes, it’s not our fault official merchandise can often fall short of expectation and third party artists and designers can capitalize on that failure with better products and everyone wins (even Lana’s team Bc they can learn what fans want)
