I think it’s very obvious that this cover is intended to be a self-parody in response to all the criticism she got for her cover arts over the last year.
 
I don’t think it’s the real one, but rather just a “placeholder” that was meant to incite shock and conversation. She’s basically embracing the infamy that overshadowed every musical endeavour she did in 2020 and turning it into a promotional strategy for her art. 
 
This is the same woman who writes beautiful, multi-layered complex songs time and time again, and whose visuals consistently show effort (look at the Chemtrails Over the Country Club video if you think otherwise - there’s a lot of investment there clearly). 
 
 I think we should give her more credit than a lot of people have been lately. Reminder that she literally said in a 2019 interview that she stopped promoting her records after Ultraviolence because “nobody cared” - she knows what people are saying (or not saying - it seems she feels the media will talk about anything BUT the actual music, and she’s right)  and seems to respond to that through everything surrounding the music. 

also why would she reuse an old photo from a previous era? 
not trying to stir the pot but it definitely seems she is unhappy with either how she looks 
or she’s just lazy as f8ck. 
i love her &  i’m tryna just be patient and wait but this is a strange way to promote unless she’s trying to rile up negative thinkpieces.

I just gotta say.. there is no way some of y’all think that’s the real cover.. there is absolutely no way any label executive/ben/ed would approve that, especially when they refused to let her use the original nfr cover, which, admittedly, wasn’t that terrible. (also, to everyone calling it iconic/better than cocc’s - you’re straight up delusional ?, how are you gonna try to excuse Literal picsart editing done in approximately 3 minutes) 

did anyone notice how great of a promo this is. there r viral tweets and everyone already knows that lana is cumming this summer

It's not really the right kind of promo, though. It just keeps getting messier and messier, but I think I'm starting to appreciate the effort.

we made an entire timeline out of lanas nails colors and shapes last summer you aint seen nothing yet

Elizabeth should hire you bestie 

Ever since the RCS post, that’s how I feel. I go back to her Insta once a week just to be sure.

This all feels like a fever dream to be honest

hopefully this confusion spurs some kind of clarification on someones part because this all very suspect 

Billboard posted about BB too. They are very confused as well: « it’s unclear if BB is RCS renamed or if they are two separate albums » 

yessss

doesn't she always drop a tracklist and pre order when the album cover is revealed? the more i think about it the more i'm starting to think this isn't actually the album cover., i really don't know anymore im too high to make sense of her decisions, it shocks me that not one single person makes any clarification on anything either, i feel like we moan about the same thing every single era and it's so frustrating and ugly

This is the most publicity Picsart has gotten in years, Lana is actually being very charitable towards them by subtly promoting the app. Humble queen! 
 

We just wanted a simple update, was that so much to ask for? Something not messy? It would be a dream if polydor kept their posts up or just never posted at all. Echoing her announcement and then immediately deleting all traces of it just makes everything SO MUCH MORE CONFUSING. It felt real for a matter of 30 minutes and now it just feels like another date that will come and go with nothing.  
 
I hate that I think this, but the best thing for us to do is to just ignore everything for a while, there is no clarity to be found, and no plan we can uncover. I truly think that if lana wasn’t on a big label she would just drop music regularly with no fanfare or rollout, which I would LOVE, but clearly her label/management want her to have more typical structure in her releases so it just ends up a confusing mess every time. 

miss lana looks bruised in the album cover with this new watercolor edit

where is Ben, Ed? what is happening ? ive been a fan since before UV was released, what is happening. 

lets not forget she also teased a fake/outtake for the Ultraviolence cover - before the real one,   it was her photo chuck took from the beach at Coney Island
