First ones that come to mind are: Sky Ferreira and Everything is Embarrassing (She claimed she re-wrote it but then the original demo by Dev Hynes mysteriously leaked) Avril Lavigne and Sk8er Boi (The actual writer of the song did a whole expose on his YouTube channel and said her only contribution to that song was changing the title from "Skater Boy" to "Sk8er Boi" )

MOTHER

When a mainstream pop singer releases a "personal" album when in reality it's all written by 5 men and produced by some mega producer

someone needs to get a big lana account to do "fan projects" where we get the crowd to chant for a certain unplayed song every show it might be the only way we hear some songs live

thunder is more likely imo, i doubt lana would remember the words to raise me up lol

I tried to chant Tulsa in Arkansas and people around me were like wtf

People thought she wouldn't do Florida Kilos but she did...Mississippi, if you want it bad enough...

Can’t tell if she’s really thanking her or just saying ‘thanks Lana because if it wasn’t for you being around to criticise I wouldn’t have made royals’

WAR IS OVER!!!

I believe in you guys!! You’re gonna make Thunder happen 💋

u & me sis. we might be the only ones tho 💀

ok mississippians... you have one duty... and that duty is... to chant THUNDER!!!!! got it?

That's kinda groundbreaking news ngl but I think it was kinda over a longer time ago since she put Get Free in her Spotify playlist, her mom put NFR title in her bio and Lorde kinda vaguely said that she's in a groupchat with Lana, Taylor and Jack that's interesting though because in QTFC Lana accused "pretentious alt singers for telling that she's glamourizing abuse" and it seemed kinda that she alluded to Lorde with that. But who cares, what are your favorite songs from Pure Heroin? Mines Bravado and Glory And Gore

i am on my knees for this witchy ass look

Raise Me Up (Mississippi South) live debut

Can we stop this guilty by association thing?

there's prob some im missing but for me it would be: Born To Die - red roses (lots of red rose symbolism/imagery through BTD as well as many other albums but it’s an iconic symbol of passion, desire, love, beauty, victory ) Paradise - bird of paradise (because well paradise also symbolizes freedom, joy and anticipation like ride and american for example) Ultraviolence - blue hydrangeas (hydrangeas can symbolize vanity and abundance this could explain the descriptions of opulence in the song old money) honorable mentions - deadly nightshades (ultraviolence) - witch hazel (is this happiness) - poison ivy (ultraviolence) poison ivy and deadly nightshades representing poison from the cult implications of UV. witch hazel is a symbol for warding off evil Honeymoon - rose garden mix of different pink roses such as the china rose and shrub rose (burnt norton interlude also pink and roses represent love) peonies also in the garden (peonies symbolize love, romance, and marriage) Lust for Life - daisies (lots of references to the 60s/70s in the album and known at the time as a symbol for peace such as when the world was at war we kept dancing. coachella references having flowers in your hair most commonly daisies but also references roses) Norman Fucking Rockwell - clover (venice bitch); specifically owl's clover (native to california and the coast; clover symbolizes luck and hope such as hope is a dangerous thing for a woman…) california poppies (because its the california state flower and symbolizes dreams, relaxation, peace very california-esque ) Chemtrails Over The Country Club - butterfly milkweed (native to arkansas and symbolize connection to nature and spirituality which is mentioned in tracks like tulsa jesus freak) honorable mention- buttercups (represent youth, happiness, friendship example- her song features with nikki lane, zella, and weyes ) Blue Banisters - wildflowers (wildflower wildflower; since there's a ton of flower references in blue banister i see it as collection of her old and new songs on BB similar to a collection of assorted flowers.) specifically violets (violets for roses; symbolism for spirituality, modesty, wisdom, everlasting love), gardenias (blue banisters; symbolism includes purity trust, and gentleness- possibly qualities she seeks in relationships), cherry blossoms (cherry blossom; symbolism for renewal and optimism; could be in reference to her wanting to have children possibly? or just the idea of rebirth ) DYKTATUOB - black dahlias (she dressed as the black dahlia in candy necklaces music video & black dahlias symbolize betrayal and sadness which is definitely relevant to multiple songs like A&W, fingertips, kintsugi, etc talking about a lover who wronged her, dealing with loss, struggling with depression and grief)

The earth shook a bit honestly

yalls manifesting the wrong songs chant noir walking is an art so is my body

Thunder. Let’s do this

Rihanna is notorious. Sza’s album Ctrl originally revolved around her song ‘LouAnne Johnson’, she’s stated that Ctrl would have been complete a year earlier if she still had the song (and I think it even had a MV). Then Rihanna struck Sza went to a writing camp for Anti but failed to write anything that she thought was of any worth, so she played LouAnne Johnson just to see how they liked it. After hearing it, they were very insistent and she was pressured into giving it up - she’s said since that it devastated her. The song became ‘Consideration’ and Rih ended up with writing credits on it, even though it was already a complete song ready for release.

In 2013, during an interview where she discussed her album and Royals, she remarked, 'I was listening to a lot of Lana Del Rey, etc.' Lorde went on to critique the prevailing music trends of that time, particularly lyrics centered around driving expensive cars and flaunting diamonds which is stuff Lana was singing about. She expressed that these themes were the antithesis of her inspiration for 'Royals' as she couldn't relate to such a lavish lifestyle. This comment was seen as a direct critique of Lana and sparked a feud. If I recall correctly she may have mentioned the glamorisation of violence thing too. Lorde seemed to miss the intentional cinematic quality of Born To Die, which embraced the essence of Hollywood Americana. She also appeared to overlook the fact that a substantial portion of the lyrical content on 'Born To Die' was meant to be ironic. So that was Lorde’s mistake and taking an unnecessary dig at Lana. So is Lorde really thanking Lana?, or is she being shady about the whole situation and the fact she got a hit song from mocking Lana’s music? It isn’t really clear.

Happy 10th Anniversary to the legendary Pure Heroine! Lorde shared Royals and Buzzcut Season demo lyrics in her Instagram stories!

tbh.. idc who she hangs out with or what she does i'm still gonna listen to her music

She wants to be Kim Petras dr luke era so bad

Just for fun and shady mess hope the mods don’t lock this- no hate to any artists intended- just to shine a light on the actual main writers or people who should be credited. here’s my contribution as stolen by someone on Reddit: Rihanna has a writing credit on same old mistakes- a cover 💀 When Bright, who also co-wrote Justin Bieber’s hit “Somebody To Love”, is asked to explain how Bieber got songwriting credit for that song (as it was originally written for Usher), Bright has no answer. “Umm… How did he get a writing credit on it?… That’s an interesting question. I don’t know.” Beyoncé claimed on TRL she wrote Emotions. The song is actually a Bee Gees cover. • Claimed to have written Survivor. Songwriters sued, settled out of court. • Claimed to have written Bow Down, when the demo was near finished when she got the song. It was originally meant to go to Rihanna • Claimed to have written Bootylicious after hearing the guitar riff somewhere. The demo was actually near complete when it got to Destiny’s Child. When the writers went to her father for explanation, they were told the public prefers to hear that their favorite artist is the one writing their hits. • Claimed to have written Irreplaceable. Ne-Yo’s demo is near identical to the finished song. After receiving backlash for calling her out, he gave her credit for harmonising on the song. • Claimed to have written Smash Into You. The song is actually a cover of the song Smack Into You by Jon McLaughlin. • The melody of Drunk In Love was done by Future and the demo was sent to Beyoncé. He didn’t hear anything back and wasn’t told the song would end up on her self-titled album. He didn’t receive writing credits for the song.

This is the look we have been waiting for

Cell reception is terrible here, otherwise I’d be doing more lives

LITERALLY this is a good idea………. People would go crazy for thst

me when i chant for thundnoirmeup

Manifesting “Thunder” for Mississippi ⚡️ You guys need to be loooud!

Stop not queen bey

GIVE ME MORE PICTURES NEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWW

i know we like to say that certain songs and aesthetics of lana’s are witchy, but that’s the most witchiest she’s ever looked and im here for it

The slayage...

Finally A&W as opener again also I called new dress

she should sing Thunder after Stand By Your Man, I think musically they have the same vibe.

literally if anyone chants for a song she will do it i don't know why most crowds haven't chanted

That’s an order I can follow This place is mostly full now, at least 80%. The pit is maybe 60% full. There were a ton of pit tickets when the gates opened, but I’m not complaining about my view at all. I just checked, there are pit tickets now at $129.50 lol

nikki flogging her merch too love those letter lights though it’s giving DEL REY endless summer tour

Tbf 2013 Lorde was fucking insufferable. Glad whatever beef there was going on is over now.

I googled about her and Lana and holy shit the stuff she said about Lana was harsh as fuck 💀

AOTY

i hate this era

My god... she looks fucking incredible!

Ribs deserves to be in a Top 20 list for best song ever made in the history of music recording. There’s a lot of music where I go “hmm, they should’ve done this with the synths and that with the background vocals instead” but Ribs is rare, uneditable gold. Can’t believe it’s 10 years since this record dropped. I was in 11th grade and I remember getting Ribs for free when Apple had their free “iTunes song of the week.” This entire album poetically encapsulates teenagehood, loneliness, and the Fall Season so perfectly. Thank U Lorde + PH for being there when no one else was.

EVERYONE WILL BOWN DOWN TO LANA ONE DAY
