I was gonna take a photo of it next to my lighter to show its size but im too lazy to go get it so here it is next to a Hi-Chew

Every time I start listening to a single track from this album I end up listening to the whole thing. Idk if it's a popular opinion or not on here but idc cause for me it has really become Lana's best work to date. I cannot put into words how much I adore this incredible record, it's literally perfect, zero skips, no comments, I'm just in awe of this piece of art

maybe tomorrow you’ll know

Breaking my silence simply to say, all you 16 year olds will never understand the impact of Lana’s artistry in early 2010s, before you were even in grade school. The only “problematic” thing about the Ride video and Lana’s early career in general is the headdress thing, but everything else, she was a nearly 30 year old woman perfectly capable of making her own decisions and she had a very strong vision for her art, which everyone absolutely ate up at the time. Obviously Lana still has insane impact, but it was different and a different kind of it 10+ years ago. She was just putting her truth into her music and visuals, while obviously slightly embellishing things in the name of creating an immersive world, just because something from over a decade ago makes you uncomfortable, that doesn’t mean any of your criticism of it is valid. Lana Del Rey wouldn’t be Lana Del Rey without the artist she was back then, and you sound exactly like what the gross journalists sounded like back then. The boomerfication of Gen Z and weird rise in purity culture is so real, no high school aged people should be speaking on how Lana approached her career before they could count to 100 unless they’ve made a conscious effort to understand her. If “grotesque” art from grown ass women bothers you then i don’t think Lana is the artist for you

iconic

I think her old songwriting (2018 and before) is far better than her current songwriting and it's somewhat frustrating that people are lauding her as a songwriting genius for her current work because honestly shit like BTD, UV and Honeymoon were actual fucking genius whereas I feel like a lot of the current diary-entry lyrics and automatic writing or whatever could be written by pretty much anyone and is only interesting because of the vivid world she created throughout the previous eras mentioned so people place it in that context and act like it's genius when to me it's more like margin notes

she has songs about men liking little girls and beating her, being addicted to drugs, and playing out an other woman fantasy, yet we are drawing the ethical line at an old man brushing her hair. i pray you all had this same energy about that old ass man in the shades of cool and west coast music video at least lmao

i think its hawt

just got my pill case and DAMN is that bitch tiny i said it out loud and i swear to god i heard it say “whoteenie?” back to me like a jawa it’s still cunt af tho i’m not medicated so maybe i’ll keep my secrets in there instead

Getting flashbacks to the NFR homemade video trio... that took FOREVERRR to be released She's always insanely slow with releasing videos chaerin b was right!!!!

I’ve heard enough songs about her family/her dad, like I get it you love him ok

idk i doubt it was a self-doubt thing, i think she was just angry at the public/her peers misinterpretation of what she wrote. i don't like the narrative that under every person's (especially women) anger there's some sort of like underlying insecurity that they need to work on to "improve" their anger. when people feel wronged they're entitled to feel angry and defend themselves as much as they want imo

I think she's just testing the waters with the festivals to see if she truly enjoys the stage again or if it was just a bit of nostalgia from singing in bars with Nikki She's probably way more comfortable on her own shows than in huge festivals but it's easier to just get booked and go than to plan a whole tour for herself with all the expenses and scheduling. And if she decides to do a tour later she would already have a setlist, some stage design and the habit of doing shows again And I agree with what @American Bore said, we'll probably get a feeling about her plans with the first few performances. She started doing "choreography" (or tried to ) with the dancers on festivals and she used that on her own tour later so we'll see I'm so excited I hope we get some nice recordings from the shows

Godva ate snow queen

I feel like we won’t be getting a tour at all this year, surely it would’ve been announced already

okay so as you can tell by my profile pic i'm a big fan of the X triology lol, X reminded me so much of Texas Chainsaw Massacre which is one of my favorite movies and Pearl reminded me so much of a Hollywood tragedy that we all can relate to, or at least i can (if you exclude the murders lol), dreaming of leaving your small town and hoping to do bigger things then your parents, it kinda reminded me of that girl who jumped from the H, the cinematography it's so good too i think Ti West is amazing and, of course, Mia Goth is out of this world i truly believe she's Oscar material ANYWAYS im super excited for Maxxxine and the first movie still just dropped i actually saw a bts of this scene being filmed in the last two weeks i think, there are tons on tiktok, this made me super excited i have big expectations

it is a bit uncomfortable and i honestly don't even care for that music video that much, but it's really not that big of a deal, like @Party Favor said, she has explored way more darker topics, including drugs, domestic abuse, and pedophilia, but we all understand that she's not romanticizing or promoting such topics also, i just don't really get why we're still bringing up the fact that she wore a headdress, it was 11 years ago and although it was still insensitive, it was a different time, and, again, it was over a decade ago, she has donated large amounts of money to native american organizations, we know she wouldn't do this today, so why does it even matter? we as people will have such a difficult time consuming and enjoying art if we couldn't handle things that might bother us or might be controversial, especially if the piece of art, or movie, or song, is decades old and representative of the period of time it was made, if lana always played it safe, she probably wouldn't be known at all

we should move this thread to Rumours

This really isn’t bad compared to some of the bland looks seen all night In fact I think it’s one of the better ones sadly

She spoke facts in Question For The Culture, but racist liberals who can’t see anything outside of race fixated on the people she mentioned (who weren’t even only “people of colour”, as they call it) instead of what she actually said.

where the f*** is that candy necklace video

it’s the 4th anniversary of love + fear, and you know what? we loved and we feared

Same thing with the Patty slander, we have concrete proof that she has a poor relationship with her mother/they are estranged. She addressed the trauma--we can move forward.

The fact everyone came with modern Chanel or completely off brief when they could of pulled from his 90s Magnus decade is insane:

Another Anne, popular here. Anne is giving Bridgette Bardot - she's never done it! Her looks were always constrained by designers . . . Previous Anne Hathaway red carpets. Changing this post to be positive on Anne's previous looks. And I think Met Gala 2023 is the best! This at first I wanted to be funny and said harsh critiques, but now that I scroll through, they are not bad. I was phony, trying to be slick. That's not a good look for me. I will try to be normal! And Anne's red carpet looks don't look bad, now that I scroll through. Anne is just so thin the heavy fabric falls off of her in places. But, the dresses are not vulgar! Previous Anne Hathaway red carpet looks - what do you think? The above, with only one dangling earring, shows some playfulness . . . So the conclusion is from an oldster who was disappointed in every Anne Hathaway red carpet, who is an actress who can act, is beautiful, appears nice, is I am proud of last night's Met Gala look with the Lana-style glamourous Bridget Bardot hair, and flattering dress.

she kind of looks like a bridal bouquet

these glasses i cant

Idc what she does but she needs to look hot

this is certainly something!

I'm critical of Jack Antonoff, but I don't "hate" Jack Antonoff as a producer for Lana. I have issues with the execution at times, but I'm also a sucker for the NFR title track, Venice Bitch, White Dress, A&W, Grandfather, etc. However, I do think it's time for something new--regardless of the fact that he is a talented and versatile musician and how comfortable and chill she feels with him in the studio, we've heard the range and dare I say the limitations regarding his input to her music. I think as an artist she'd do herself a service by getting out of her comfort zone. Like, not for nothing, the songs that actually left me shook and/or that truly felt impactful, besides A&W, were there non-Jack produced tracks: The Grants, Candy Necklace, Fingertips and Let The Light In.

isn't it supposed to be uncomfortable though?

it WAS a big deal back then lmao but a few seconds of that will never erase the iconicness of ride mv edit: it wasn't bigger only because cancel culture on twitter wasn't a thing yet but exposed tumblr blogs and pages kinda were and the headdress thing only added to her "problematic doings" list that people always loved to bring up I wish they just never had the idea but it is what it is

thank youuuu!!!! some songs are extremely difficult to find. I have sleeping beauty and a few other things here (including the og file of Away): nz/folder/s5MVmBDB#jrIg_JDK3PGIPD6aBAiQxA

she needs to fire her makeup artist and stylist immediately

I've been listening to the album non-stop and I think I can finally put into words more or less how I feel about it. I'm very much in love with it, I feel like its the culmination of the themes from Chemtrails and Blue Banisters, giving way to a new page. After leaving the California imagery behind post-NFR to get to the Midwest in Chemtrails and Blue Banisters, she's again re-rooting herself into California, with ''Sweet'' kinda giving that book-end to the Midwest period in her life and bringing into the picture her home in the Northeast, in line with the overall theme of family and lineage, her roots. It's interesting to go on a retrospective of her discography and see how the persona falls apart by each album until we can see more of her being herself. I'm very excited for the next record, I suppose she will continue exploring the family themes. Considering her romantic relationships also inspire heavily her music, I wonder if her relationship with Evan, who is also from New York, could bring the East Coast more to the forefront in her imagery. The songs about/with Mike are very much Cali beach, sunny weather and carefree, contrasting those that I assume could be about Jack (Candy Necklace, Kintsugi), which are darker tracks lyric and sound wise. Anyway rant over, I needed to get these thoughts out of my head

the marc jacobs girlies he really did kim petras dirty

Are we done draggin Marina to the mud? please tell me we are not. im here once again to tell y’all how TFJ to FROOT she was great then sold her ass to LA and wokeness and lost al credibility. For someone who tries so hard to be taken seriously she for sure is CAMP AS HELL… those memes, the feminist rants and now the poetry talking about toilets… the saddest part is that, like someone above said, she’s not in the joke. She’s givin Katy Perry “witness” era level cringe Also, firing her manager during maternity leave (if that’s true) is not very females supporting females of her but I’m sure she will find a way to blame men for that too

Thought this year was really boring honestly Top 6: Bottom 6:

This album is perfection and everytime I keep listening and reading the lyrics it's just... UGH I HATE HER SO MUCH 'CAUSE ITS SO GOOD

Oh who cares Lana obviously didn't not go because of some stupid comment he made, she wouldn't have gone anyways it's the MET pls

personally i think that dog is the best-dressed guest

Thank you, SoftwareUpgrade . . . Enjoyed all the comments. Honorable mention: FKA Twigs who exudes Hollywood glamour in this satin column gown cut on the bias with frayed tweed collar and lace panels . . . This is a large image so you can zoom in on the details. Too bad about the camera behind her amazing updo!
