Me (and y'all) when LDR9 opens with "One day, my hoops will be made of diamonds and my knuckles made of real gold"

Lana has struggled to tell the truth in the past, and im choosing to believe this was one of those occasions

Reading through that sky timeline again was exhausting. It truly feels like it sapped nearly 10 years off of my life! Her power!

Her album also couldn't exist during the Bolsonaro presidency, now it's that Lula is back 2023 it's the year

2 more minutes until surprise release

phoebe buffay is a sirens and AKA girl

if the album is allegedly almost finished then she doesn’t need the funding to make it so what reason could capitol possibly have for not wanting to see it be put out. how does not releasing an album that is apparently almost ready to be released serve them in in any way. what is she implying with this label interference narrative, that they‘re not interested in making money off of her and would rather torment her for sport? i’m sorry like she could say they won’t provide her the financial means to record/produce/mix/master it, this would at least make some sense especially considering they didn’t fund her first album either but saying this would mean she’d have to admit that she lied and that the album is not really done. they’re not preventing her from performing because she booked a bunch of festival dates and was late to every one. they’re not neglecting to do promo because she booked a whole ass press tour regardless of the fact that there’s nothing to promote. she’s explained nothing as to what exactly capitol is doing to prohibit her from releasing anything and why they would stand to gain literally anything from doing so

Thank you for sharing this. The literal rollercoaster I've experienced between getting excited and non-excited while reading the timeline is insane. I can't imagine that but stretched for over a decade (I discovered her towards 2016-17). Reading it all compiled like that, it definitely looks like Sky has like 80% of the problem on her. I don't doubt the label has stopped some plans (single choices, mvs, gigs, songs in the tracklist, involvement of producers/songwriters etc) but, a whole decade to stop her from dropping 12 tracks? Ma'am that's impossible to believe. The most annoying, besides the certainty of the several (This never happens) is the amount of times she said something was coming and of course was not coming, for any reason.

Migos member Takeoff has died as of today. I wonder if this will impact Lana since she has expressed desires to work with him and his group. So sad.

i think it's somewhere in the middle, i don't think it's 100% the labels fault or 100% sky's fault from what we've seen from an outside perspective; in the last year or so the recent issues are coming from sky. you pretty much can't deny that

She attended Bella Thorne’s Halloween party

please.

Maybe Lana's hard drives had already been stolen at this point

He was actually the only one non homophobic and non problematic from the trio tho... all the controversies came from the other two. Yes he was part of the group but I don't think associating with shit people warrants being glad he was killed

ANNOUCEMENT TOMORROW

‘Don’t worry she’s going to release something within the next 6 months I’m fine’ also me…

561 pages of literally nothing.

TURN AROUND IT'S MY TURN TO LET YOU DOWN I LOVE IT WHEN YOU CRYBABY CRYBABY CRY

I know that it's not Lana's fault that I'm bored because I have like 2 assignments to finish and stuff but like, mmm, the only thing that could take me out from my boredom cocoon would be an album announcement or a surprise single released... Today.

her last random post on instagram is flooded with those delusional comments about the free sky ferreira thing. it’s honestly so embarrassing…

Rosemary and her devil baby

I want to know the album title so badly I love reading all of the theories and analysis on here after she announces the name, cover, etc

She literally just hit 43M on Spotify and is 39th in the world… we want the single now

repeating my unpopular opinion but I avidly hate Haters Anonymous. it's a cringey mess. 99 Tears was THE one from the EP. Traces and Sex Rules are great too. maybe 108 if it wasn't that repetitive.

i feel like everyone misunderstood her. she never said she was not going to release vinyls for her next album, just that she wished ahe was allowed to release digitally ahead of the vinyls like other artists get to (but there was also the added implication that she is not allowed to release digitally first since vinyls are so important to her first week sales so even that would not happen) but i do wish she was allowed to release digitally first with vinyls later bc it really is not fair that most artists get to do that and she does not especially since this far into her career first week sales should not matter to her label.

“I want to release Hollywood, the leaked version wasn’t the final production” and then never releases the final version unfortunately, 2022 Lana would release the song as a piano ballad, maybe some light orchestra if we’re lucky

How random

the amount of “(this never happens)” in the timeline you know i had to laugh. why would Capitol promote her like they did this year if they were holding her shit captive please…..i’m believing it’s 100% on Sky. the only wrong Capitol has done is signing a lazy ass girl at 15. her mother also needs to stay out of this shit forreal!

that's history baby

The thing is, if the album is out of her control how is she fucking up those few things in her own hand like her festival gigs? I'm rooting for her and dont think its all on Capitol or all on her, but like, how are you that self sabotaging while trying to push this narrative?

this queen… emily from the devil wears prada

Marge Simpson

where is the love for the crybaby outtakes… cooties, 99 cent store, zzz, rocking horse, bombs on monday morning, run, and where do babies come from are ELITE.

Rockafella… hes just napping

It's either going to be so iconic or so basic cause it's so weird that she hasn't mentioned it yet It was untitled in May yet she seemed to have a clear concept already for the record so I wonder if she had multiple ones but couldn't decide... I hope we get an interview in November with some info

atp, Lana and Taylor should do an iphone homemade MV to take it to #1 on hot 100 asap. THE SONG LITERALLY ONLY NEEDS AN MV with TAYLANA FUCKING AROUND TOGETHER TO GET ON THE TOP SPOT 😭😭😭

Yeah there's no way it comes out this year. All the clues lead to LDR9 being finished around late September or early October so the earliest we could get it would be February I guess. If they have a preliminary date for the album I don't see why she wouldn't release at least one single before the year ends tho... The snow ❄️ song probably delayed a bit the rollout start but I think enough time has passed already and they knew beforehand it would happen anyway. Another possibility is that she wants to release everything close together and the rollout will start next year but she usually puts out a song some time before the album is even announced so I don't know why that would change now (also a longer preorder would mean more potential sales and we know Interscope wants that)

inb4 those are the two songs that get put on the album

Wasn’t it more or less confirmed that we won’t get the album until next year, earliest? Despite Ben’s “coming soon” teasing.

Jane Margolis from Breaking Bad

Announcement tomorrow, single on Wednesday, MV on Friday

Hair to my ass will be flying in the wind shooting heroin and speedball It's one of my favorite unreleased I hope she releases it eventually (like she said)

I think he was only saying that because earlier in the same post he talked about how Taylor and Lana broke records with SOTB. Let’s not forget the whole “album()” post he did around the Blue Banisters release and people were convinced she was double dropping an album. Ben posts things just to post them at this point, he’s Lana jr

..YOU ARE WRONG....AS A PERSON.......

I would feel a lot more relaxed if I knew…just something to keep us going.

TAYLOR SWIFT : THE ERAS TOUR!!!!!!! US DATES OUT NOW AND INTERNATIONAL DATES TO FOLLOW SOON!!!! BITCH IM PEEING!!!!!
