The way Annie is trying to save her career by changing the subject.

as soon as she said the word ‘racist’ Annie cut her off and started playing the song LMAO

And we will never know what the album gonna sounds like thanks to her broken chimney.

so lana just admitted that when her home life or personal life is turbulent she lashes out at critics, her audience, etc... interesting!

[Chorus] I'm on the run with you, my sweet love There's nothing wrong contemplating God Under the chemtrails over the country club Wearing our jewels in the swimming pool Me and my sister just playing it cool Under the chemtrails over the country club [Verse 1] Take out your turquoise and all of your jewels Go to the market, the kids' swimming pools Baby, what's your sign? My moon's in Leo, my Cancer is sun You won't play, you're no fun Well I don't care what they think Drag racing my little red sports car I'm not unhinged or unhappy, I'm just wild [Chorus] I'm on the run with you, my sweet love There's nothing wrong contemplating God Under the chemtrails over the country club Wearing our jewels in the swimming pool Me and my sister just playing it cool Under the chemtrails over the country club [Verse 2] Meet you for coffee At the elementary schools We'll laugh about nothing As the summer gets cool It's beautiful how this deep Normality settles down over me I'm not bored or unhappy I'm still so strange and wild [Chorus] You're in the wind, I'm in the water Nobody's son, nobody's daughter Watching the chemtrails over the country club Suburbia, The Brentwood Market What to do next? Baby, we'll love it White picket, chemtrails over the country club [Bridge] My love, my love Washing my hair, doing my laundry Late night to be, I want you holding me Like when we were kids Under chemtrails and country clubs [Outro] It's never too late, baby, so don't give up It's never too late, baby, so don't give up Under the chemtrails over the country club (You're born in the December, I'm born in June) Yeah (Under the chemtrails, over the country club) You're born in the December, I'm born in June Yeah, my Cancer is sun, and my Leo is moon My Cancer is sun and my Leo is moon Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah

Okay this interview was obviously a mess and she sounded all over the place, but I also think she made a lot of reasonable points that people will take out of context. The only really cringey parts where when she brought up race again, I don't know why she keeps doing that. We know she's not racist so she needs to stop overly explaining that she's not because the general public won't take the time to understand her and she's gonna get thoroughly dragged. What she was saying about Trump's delusions of grandeur, and how the people storming the capitol think that they're a part of a revolution and they have so much disassociated rage were really interesting. She is also right that Trump didn't cause all of this, it's been brewing forever. He did of course encourage it to come out in people. I also agree with her that self-obsession is such a huge problem and it contributes greatly to the climate crisis and the horrors of capitalism. I don't think she was implying that narcissism is worse than climate change or capitalism, but rather a cause of these things and should be viewed as seriously. I really do hope she's okay, and also think the title track offered some insight to how she's feeling. In the song it's like she's asking us to let her be, because in the grand scheme of things she's doing nothing wrong and is tired of being judged for being who she is. Lana will always be misunderstood and even if it's often her own doing, that doesn't mean she deserves the aggressive hate that gets thrown at her. Thankfully, her art is way too powerful for any of these controversies to ruin her reputation. In the future, as people continue to evaluate her contributions to music without the bias of her drama, it will be very clear that she's an icon.

I just had a nap, woke up and started laughing thinking about all the stuff she said because it's so unbelievable. Absolutely nobody was talking about that stuff and sis just brought it up and once again demonstrated that she's ignorant af and she thinks it's okay because she has good intentions. Pain. We now know that the tornado she's in in the COCC mv symbolises the shitstorm of her own creation. Also, she isn't really making a great case for herself being "sweet" and "lovely" or whatever the fuck she thinks she is, when she keeps randomly abusing fans and generally being quite rude. There was no need to be so aggressive towards the person asking if that was the cover. Just wait 'til she sees all the articles about it, which are already starting to trickle in

the most comfortable lana has ever been in an interview and the most uncomfortable i have ever been as a listener .......

we did it

"if you want to see people of colour, it's a black and white image, just zoom in" L,MFASGJS sorry i cackled at that bye

“Special”

the world if she used the shot of her walking through the glass as the cover >>>>>>>>>>>>>

One thing we’re not gonna do here is talk about her mental health and joke about institutions I understand it was unhinged but let’s be careful with our wording

OMG ALL THE NEON.. THE DAUGHTER SHE ALWAYS WANTED THE DEPICTION OF HER MADNESS AND NUMBNESS. This is a well done heart break

that was dreadful and the sad thing is she probably made many good points but nobody could understand them because she’s so beyond inarticulate and her thoughts just do not translate into a coherent conversation AT ALL you could literally cut the tension with a knife, Annie tried so hard to divert the convo back to the album and each time Lana would end up talking about the capitol again

...who needs a new cocktail now

YOSEMITE UNTOUCHED BY JACK ANTONOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

poor Annie Mac keeps trying to quickly skip the topic every time Lana brings up the racism thing........

she literally sounds insane KSDHFKJSDHFJ

The alt cover It being a UK exclusive

who's spamming those moonlight edits on dbree? you're so annoying

ANNIE ISN'T EVEN PRETENDING TO AGREE WITH HER ANYMORE OMG MAKE IT STOP

this feels like a parody of Lana Del Rey

tbh that was actually like...frightening to listen to its clear that this stuff has her extremely bothered but she is either too stubborn to look inwards and think about what she is saying or has people telling her that she isnt doing anything wrong so there is no need to reflect on it its one thing to see her type it out but to actually hear her struggle to articulate herself like that. sis get a therapist why say it LIVE on a radio

finally being a uk citizen is paying dividends

I don't think she's racist but she's definitely ignorant. No one is a perfect ally but instead of listening to criticism and evaluating whether or not it has merit, she assumes everyone is a hater and doubles down on whatever she's said, insisting that she has "good intentions." Good intentions are not enough. Sis needs to start listening and educating herself, or at least shut up about it because it's extremely cringe. ETA: @bummersummer is right, though: racism doesn't have to include intent, and it isn't for white people to decide.

The fact that they apparently where on a video call, imagine being Annie Mac and trying to keep a straight face while talking at her "mmh", "yeah, sure", "that's right", and at the same time trying to decipher what the hell was the idea she was trying to create in her head. Definetly a special interview.

this woman needs an intervention

She really used the full interview time to discuss US politics

That was absolutely exhausting to sit through

sis I don't care if jack is funny leave him

OMFG NO, NOT MY MOM MICROWAVING RIGHT NOW AND CUTTING OFF THE SONG, IT ALWAYS INTERFERES WITH MY PHONE'S WIFI SIGNAL!!!!

Rick NOWELS you mean asdfgh Beyonce?? Beyonce??

i'm not even listening i'm just reading this thread and cracking up

normalise saying "im not really sure how to word my point right now given the time constraints or the restrictions of my on-the-spot articulation abilities" so that people like lana don't show their asses like this constantly ? what i think lana might have been trying to say: "Climate change is a really big issue, just like capitalism - but having Trump in office really brought to the forefront of the public consciousness the ways that narcissism and sociopathy allow these issues to continue and develop. We should pay attention to the ills of climate change and the effects of a capitalistic society, but when we are giving massive amounts of power to individuals we should also inspect those individuals for displays of narcissism and sociopathy - how can we expect someone to heal communities or an entire country if they are narcissists that only think of themselves, or sociopaths that have no remorse for their actions?" what lana came across as saying to someone who is not a fan: "As a privileged rich white woman who has shown time and time again that she is ignorant and certainly that she cannot take constructive criticism - hence the fact that I spent half of this interview trying to prove how totally not racist I am - I am dismissing the issue of climate change and pinning the terrifyingly catastrophic state of the world on some abstract strain of ~narcissism~ because I care more about making a fake deep point and providing an enticing pseudo-philiosphical headline and soundbite than being responsible with my platform. This will likely cause uproar and I know it. I do not care to find out why this will upset people." what i think lana might have been trying to say, part two: "The madness of Trump really emboldened a lot of very bad people. As bad as his presidency was, the one thing we can take away from it is that it exposed a lot of people for who they really are - some famous people, some acquaintances, some people we may even have been close to. Having Trump in office made these people feel free to be as racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic and xenophobic as they wanted to be, because he did the same. This isn't good, but it proves that we still have a very long way to go and a very hard battle to fight. I'm glad we had more of a spotlight on social justice, but it's a shame it came around because of someone as evil as Trump taking office." what lana came across as saying to someone who is not a fan, part two: "Trump's presidency was terrible. He is responsible for thousands of deaths - some due to his poor handling of COVID, some due to hate crimes that he emboldened his followers and supporters to carry out, some due to police brutality that he did absolutely nothing to tackle and in many cases encouraged, some due to the absolute poverty many Americans are living in, some due to stress-related organ failures as many American citizens work themselves quite literally to death. He is a fascist. He is an alleged rapist. He is awful. He has inspired hatred in thousands, if not millions, of Americans. However, literally none of this will ever affect me as I live in my bubble of LA millionaire privilege. Because of this, I will say that his presidency 'had to happen'. How else would my rich valley girl eyes have been opened if not for a literal fascist becoming President leading to the deaths of thousands of people? It means nothing to me that marginalised people have been living this reality since before he even ran for President. Thank goodness he came into power so that I and my matcha tea IG baddie friends could learn just a little bit about the real world. Yep, it totally had to happen!!! " Now, let me be very very clear - I'm not saying this is entirely how her words came across to me. I'm just trying to put across extreme examples of how her words might seem to people that don't know her better - especially given the current social climate, where things are so hard for everybody and Trump has a hell of a lot to answer for. It is extremely fair for people to be mad over what she said, whether they are fans, non-fans, members of the general public, or even haters tbh. Lana is an extremely privileged woman who has had the luxury of ignorance (something she's displayed a lot of recently) while people are really really suffering. People are angry and are turning on the idea of celebrities in general tbh - so naturally many people are going to react to the absolutely ignorant words of a millionaire white lady with some level of hostility because people are going through hell, and hearing the words "it had to happen" regarding Trump's presidency - something that has destroyed the lives of a ridiculous number of people, as well as enabled hate crime and violence in the streets and in the Capitol - is going to trigger something in a lot of people. Nobody has to be perfect. Hell, I don't think anyone can be! But there is a lot to be said for sensitivity and solidarity. No matter how deep and profound your potentially-controversial thought might be in your brain, if you're someone in Lana's position and you're on a huge platform on live radio with thousands listening and you can't word it without it coming across as insulting to the average working class person while on the spot..... maybe save it for when you can really articulate it and give it the nuance it deserves. That way, you're less likely to hurt people and more likely to be understood and potentially put a really necessary perspective out there! Who knows. Also, about that "out of context" headline - the context really doesn't make it much better. Please don't harass the writer of the article. She said those words, they didn't lie about her. Clickbait is a given in journalism now sadly. Context or no context, people are gonna be furious with what Lana said. The headline isn't a good look but again, it's a direct quote from her so... yknow.

As a Courtney Love and Judy Garland stan I thought that was an extremely eloquent coherent interview

I kinda hate when artists get all hippie and start talking about things that make no sense whatsoever and talk about energies and feelings and rainbows and all that weird incoherent stuff

"half the people I know are jerks" smdnasdlfkmf

But she turns words into birds...
