Standing Ovation

I'M NOT READY. MY WIG IS ALREADY LEVITATING OFF OF MY HEAD

This is now my favorite thread...

Not me

It's stunning! Thanks a bunch

If we ever needed Courtney Love's crazy ass to comment something shady to put Lana in her place it's now lmfao

lana pretending to have daddy issues while having mommy issues is iconic 

Of course people are spinning people's anger and frustration at her endangering protestors' lives into "she just can't win with you! You control freaks will never be happy!" fuck off

What Lana is trying to say: I feel ostracized by a multitude of different vocal groups and I just want to feel like I'm accepted for who I am. That my art has a place somewhere. That I can gain the same notoriety and respect of my peers that I admire without feeling as if I'm working against an uphill battle. I feel lost without knowing my place in this industry and I've been struggling for years.
 
What Lana posts: Fragile women need a platform too. Why do all these women get praised for doing this but I get hated on? Fuck off if you don't understand me. (read with a pissed off NY accent)
 
There's people that understand what she wants to express and others that don't. I don't fault either. And I do empathise more with Lana after her video because it shows that she's speaking from an emotional place, whereas I previously thought it was due to defensiveness/arrogance. When you're in an emotional state it's difficult to properly formulate yourself in the "right" manner. So I think we (me) should go easier on her. 

Hopefully some media outlet doesn't misconstrue and has a headline, "Lana Del Rey shares poem from behind the iron gates of an institution".

at some point delivery matters more than intentions 

I swear, every time I'm just forgetting about that post (as I'm sure many others are), I get an insta notification and bam she's there with another "one last thing"... I understand she's upset and feels like she's been wrongly accused of being a racist. But this is the social media age and a time where we all have to be aware of our words and actions as well as maintaining a level of political correctness. It's unfortunate that her words have been misinterpreted by a mass audience but that's her responsibility, she wasn't misquoted or taken out of context. It was her post on her platform.
 
At this point she should just move on and let it go. Or, release a statement (get it proof read Lana) apologising for the tone or misinterpretation of her last statement and clarifying what she wanted to say in a clear and concise manner. Don't be saying stuff like "but they called me a white bitch", accept your privilidge and be more clear in the future.
 
Plus, I think it's in poor taste that every time she addresses this issue she somehow manages to announce a new poetry book, or album release date or album title. Don't let people think you're doing this as a form of hype or promotion either Lana.
 
On a side note, after the controversial post and the whole racism scandal. I think it's probably for the best that she doesn't call the forthcoming album White Hot Forever.

Absolutely agree with you. I love her but this is so tone deaf. I also feel like she’s going through something at the moment because most of what she’s getting criticized for now could have been avoided if she’d taken that first paragraph and the names of those WOC out of her mouth. She DOES come across as a WW who’s wilfully ignoring people who are trying to inform her - sounds like shes losing close friends because of it too from the video?
 
Love her but she’s tiring lmao

not her mentioning Twigs...

wow i didnt know azealia banks had an account on here

Did someone ask for a Typewriter ?  
 

super funny of her btw to write a pointless letter in which she’s mad at criticism she got 7 years ago + one mildly critical article, only to spark equally pointless controversy, after which she tried to clarify herself in the most salty, immature way possible. and now to remind people of it again with a letter that my high school english teacher would rip to shreds.
 
a rube goldberg machine of dumbassery

spotify playing in my feelings followed by WTWWAWWKD hit different right now

Remember when artists release songs or post something special on somebody's birthday and they get happy to have a little indirect gift from their favs? She really chose my birthday for this mess 

people are actually praising her and thinking this is some sort of bad bitch behavior she is clearly losing her mind this is way out of character even for lana...

I thought the chicken was lovely...did anyone try the chicken?
