lana you have 5 seconds lana:

The music video for Alma Mater (feat. Lana Del Rey) by Bleachers has been released. The video stars Lana along with other stars such as Margaret Qualley and Clairo.

well i mean she defiantly she ate up her 3 seconds of MV time in the way she ate up her 3 seconds in the song!

Slant gave the album a 6/10 and now they're naming it album of the year. I don't know who reviews her albums initially, but this has to stop.

I can't believe the title track came out a year ago... it's still that masterpiece.

trust there’s bigger things coming…. things u don’t even expect… a true mother alert coming soon.. it may be years but it’s big and huge and it’s coming…. to quote her, “i want ethel cain’s name shoved into every household in america” and it’s gonna happen

album of the year

This video was actually pretty cute. It makes me appreciate the song just a little more. And of course Lana looked gorgeous as always

Lol i dont hate boygenius but they all are so manufactured & overhyped, there is no alternative act even REACHES Lana's impact this year - why cant yall be honest for ONCE? Mitski deserves to be nominated more than boygenius, even Caroline.

it’s literally just a few closeups of her face

it was 8 seconds actually

queen of made a video for a song where she singing 8 seconds but not for A&W

It’s crazy that they gave the album a 6/10 when it came out.

Well, at least Lana and Margaret look beautiful.

tap management is mad wrong for not telling the fans the minute they decided to part ways

Oh I completely agree. This whole situation is so inexcusable. If her team decided to part ways with the company who was running the site, the site should have been required to automatically shut down or at least post a disclaimer it was no longer official as part of the termination agreement. And someone on Lana's team should've made sure the site actually disappeared and not go rogue and still take orders. If the store shut down, they should have issued refunds automatically. Not just disappear. Not just Ben answering one person's DM (if that screenshot is even real). What happens to the people who don't look at Lanaboards (or reddit or fan accounts on social media) who ordered things and are sitting around waiting because they've been told repeatedly the store can take months to deliver? How would they know to email Tap Management? You would only see that if you are perpetually online following Lana sites. Lana doesn't need negative publicity so it's so weird her management team has let this store basically steal likely $1000s of dollars from undelivered orders and disappear and they're just so aloof about the whole situation. I'm not even going to bother emailing Tap, I'm just going to report it directly to my credit card. Sigh, I really wanted my stuff

Oh. Well I’m kinda glad she didn’t put too much effort into this since we didn’t get a video for A&W.

From what I remember, LDR Village popped up with the release of Chemtrails (March 19, 2021) and while I do remember we found it early before they announced it officially, I'm sure that Lana shared it on social media too I searched through my emails and these seem to be the first emails I ever recieved from LDR Village/about LDR Village. This one was sent directly from their email (I don't remember if I signed up for the email list or if they just sent it to me lol) The second email is sent from Lana's official UK store (I can't find the US one for some reason) announcing the release of Chemtrails and while a lot of the images won't load anymore, there is one for LDR Village that shows that it is in fact an official merch store There are other things that connect the two and prove that LDR Village was once an official store of Lana's, like the fact that she did the DNC photoshoot with the director of LDR Village and that they sold a design she made for Ocean Blvd (pink "u don't understand me" hoodie) but also that they provided merch for pop up events that were advertised by her and that she was supposed to attend. The pop up events for Chemtrails and for Ocean Blvd were both advertised by her, for example and she posted on Instagram stories (I think) that she wanted to go to them but it was too busy or something lol ultimately, I think that whatever happened with LDR Village happened very recently, sometime after March/the release of Ocean Blvd I agree that tap management should do more though, but maybe they thought it was shut down after the Ocean Blvd release? Maybe LDR Village bringing back the Surf Shop merch was just them trying to get rid of stock before they shut down for good but Tap sent them a cease and desist and they can't fulfill orders now? Idk

the LDRVillage instagram has been deleted they really closed up shop and kept everyone's money, wow

Olivia…so overrated. I use to think Billie was but Olivia is even worse, you wonder what other girlie is gonna come along and water down Lana’s music and sell it to the masses. anywy Ocean Blvd 1 year today, and still sounds great, Lana will remain timeless.

do you give a shit about the Gaza Strip Hollywood land says you’re dismissed for being such a conscious caring bitch is such a Marina line

Welp at least she served

they literally put her name second to jack's on the poster and she's there for 3 seconds

I mean I thought it was alright. But I didn’t have high expectations lol there’s like a few clips of Lana

Lana definitely advertised LDRvillage at some point. I remember it.

she's dropping so many hints for rep tv coming soon but i am just not feeling the hype. i'm tired of these rerecording rollouts i really want her to drop the last two, break her records and be over with it

Where's the A&W video tho

guys the first paragraph of Wikipedia says: Person of the Year (called Man of the Year or Woman of the Year until 1999) is an annual issue of the American news magazine and website Time featuring a person, a group, idea, or object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year". that’s why donald trump was their person in 2016 and hitler in 1938. it was ‘the spirit of Ukraine’ in 2022 and the me too movement in 2017. i’m pretty neutral on taylor swift, but you can’t deny that’s you literally could not escape her this year which is likely why she was picked. (though I agree with what @bluevelvetcola has said)

It's undeniable that her impact has been colossal this year. But it makes it all the more bittersweet when you realise how much she could advocate for but refuses to speak out. Between her silence on Palestine, her association with people like Matty Healy and Brittany Mahomes, carbon emissions, the 'ethical' billionaire stuff and more, it kinda sucks. Not saying she doesn't deserve Person of the Year or that it should have gone to someone else, but she wields a massive amount of influence, and all she can talk about is drama from 7 years ago? Don't get me wrong, I think Taylor has also done a lot of good in the world, and I've enjoyed getting into some of her music this year. And I don't think it's. necessarily right to hold her up on some kind of moral pedestal, she's a pop singer at the end of the day. And obviously in an ideal world, we'd turn away from celebrities being the mouthpieces on sociopolitical topics.

Okay something needs to be done about this from Lana’s team instead of just responding to one person’s dm. The fact that LDR Village would put on an exclusive sale of LDR Surf Shop items just to close down 3 months later is disgusting and unacceptable. They need to guarantee refunds for everyone who purchased but didn’t receive their orders. Even if they’re “no longer affiliated” they still used her name/likeness to promote these products this year and her management made zero effort to inform fans about this change. In the past I’ve been lenient with LDR Village because it’s usually taken them three months+ to fulfill orders but it is so so so wrong to defraud hardworking fans. Lana needs to become aware of this issue ASAP if she isn’t already. It isn’t her fault at all but hundreds of fans (including myself) have been impacted by this. I’ve yet to hear a response after emailing tap management like Ben recommended and I don’t expect them to do anything based on their current silence.

I’m picturing something like her cover of Once Upon a Dream… or Blue Velvet. Cuz that retro sound suits her gorgeously!

Jack "met Margaret" in the new MV and seemed like they liked each other at first sight. Is the Margaret MV coming?

either way, i don't think time would've picked anything to do with palestine, as i'm pretty sure the owner supports israel. however, from what i've heard, time picks the person of the year in september, and palestine/israel hasn't been in headlines until october. and yes, i know this war has been going on for a long time but it was not being talked about nearly as much by the gp this year until october.

What a terrible song. Jacks vocals

tbh Nicki albums usually are a little overly-long and have some skips, so I wouldn’t be mad at 10 songs as long as they are 10 GREAT songs

that's about 3 minutes and 43 seconds too short

Come to think of it, Ocean Blvd was unfairly reviewed, these media that gave it low scores now put it at #1 on their lists and named it the best album of the year.

Waiting for the Margaret unofficial MV edits from this She has the whole needed cast right there

netanyahu, for *worse* of course, has done more since October to influence the events of the year than Taylor has done all of 2023. Invasion, war, genocide, ethnic cleansing, disrupting the global political landscape, pushing the world closer to a global war catastrophe etc etc etc! i doubt that would’ve sold many copies though. Go figure just one possible example though

well if we're gonna talk about morals it's at least a step up from elon musk, trump, the pope etc., all selected time person of the year within the last 10 years

I can set up a petition to sign that I can later send to Tap Management? Because this truly is unacceptable.

Best UV song for me, and probably her best ballad, “man to man, heart to heart, I love u but, u drive me so far” this line will always be lana’s most vulnerable vocal delivery for me, you can feel how vulnerable she was while singing it

Imagine making a 'Best Songs of 2023' list and not putting A&W. How embarrassing

hey everyone! just wanted to give a quick little *~~Mod Note~~* As you can probably guess, since the mods been commenting/talking about what's going on, we are aware of what is going on with LDR Village, but we are in the same boat as all of you regarding what is official/what is not. Right now, the ONLY 'official' (if you can even call it that) news we've gotten is (allegedly) from Ben telling someone to e-mail tap management regarding LDR village. Since that was posted on Reddit, and not on his official instagram, it's hard to know if that was even a real exchange of messages, and until TAP/Lana/someone officially comments on the situation, we know as much as everyone else! Just wanted to touch base with everyone, and let you know that we here at Lanaboards are both aware of the situation, but equally in the dark about what is going on Hope you all have a wonderful day!

It was a really good video! And I think this song is produced brilliantly. Lana looks Also, Margaret is sooo beautiful

Remember Lana wore the rear eyes hoodie from ldrvillage to Rob's album release party? They advertised it as buy her hoodie, and people posted pics wearing it, too. So some people got merch from this collection. I also take this hoodie and Lana wearing it as a proof that they were still official at this point.

Well, if the show is about Chanel and Dior then definitely she's going to do a cover of a glamorous and mysterious song, I don't think she's going for a Americana/country (which I don't mind) cover in this show

i hope her shroom trip also told her to make good music
