It’s interesting that “Gucci On My Body” is surfacing as a title because she posted her 2017 Elle Magazine cover on Instagram with that exact caption — “Gucci on my body”. I guess it would have been an outtake at that point, since it was in May 2017, but interesting that she teased it, nonetheless.

You inspired me 🐎 (Haven’t made a cover during the pre-release in about 3 years!)

I get the same vibe from the title “Lasso” as I get from Joni Mitchell’s “Blue”. A really simple word that evokes so much. I can see “lasso” being referenced to as a literal object, but representing something deeper. Kind of like how Lana wrote about blue banisters.

Just saw Joni Mitchell’s little photo dump of the Grammys, which included pictures of her with SZA and other singers. I wonder why she and Lana didn’t get a chance to meet up! What a missed opportunity

Poetry runs in the family

The whole “legacy artist” thing just registered with me…and it kind of seemed like a Freudian slip. Not really a fan of that because it’s revealing, but at least it was somewhat attempted to be saved. A few days later, I honestly feel pretty mixed about the whole situation now that some things about Taylor have come to light — but it doesn’t really matter what I think lol so

Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd 💐

I’m not going to act like I ever know what she’s thinking but I feel intuitively that she knows she’s above it all. It still stings on some level, I’m sure - because when you’re good at what you do, of course you deserve critical respect and recognition. That’s probably why the relationship she has to critics has been a focal point of her career. The Grammys is an extension of that. It would be nice to be celebrated, but again, she’s won in the way that she doesn’t feel pressured to make stupid music for the sake of winning an award. I don’t want to bring down other artists (I will drag Boygenius though), but obviously the album that won was not in any particular way meaningful the way Ocean Blvd was. Why taint your legacy just to make a record like that.

You guys, that Azealia screenshot is old lol. It’s the lanadelrey handle and that was Azealia’s old username / profile pic. It’s from January 2018, I think.

Perfectly said - there’s a freedom in being in her position and that’s the real feat. To be able to do whatever you want with your work!

Quality lost and overexposure won but it’s still nice that Taylor acknowledged Lana. Certainly she believes what she said about Lana to be true but Lana deserved to have gone up that stage on her own merit for her own record - not someone else’s subpar collection of songs.

Hehe living for yours too

Phoebe Bridgers just looks stoned all the time and it’s like, get it together, girl. I think that’s what it is about her for me.

Could someone post a link to a stream, btw? ❣️

If it’s Boygenius, I will be perplexed. Literally WHO and WHAT album?! Also - don’t understand why some artists needed multiple Grammys for the same song when the categories they won it for are basically the same? And at the expense of other artists like Lana? What kind of zero sum game is this…

Maybe it’s the wrong time to say this, but I can’t help but feel like Taylor’s new album title is an attempt to market herself as a Lana-esque writer…and it’s jarring how this coincides with Lana’s Grammy losses. Really shows you the unfairness of the situation, but Lana is above it all. The fact that she’s still making music and going deeper with time is the true win.

The 2024 Grammys Week black dress trilogy…. I’m obsessed.

THE BANGS. We are SO back!

Anyway - I would love for another all-black look to complete this week’s trilogy, but I also wonder if she’s going to show up in something pink or white (hence, the nails). Regardless of what happens, at least this is part of LDR history.

I just saw a Twitter clip of Boygenius walking on the red carpet and the caption called them “3 white rats” 🐀☠️

Would they seat her at the front with Grammy darlings Taylor and Jack just for her to lose? I’m thinking no - it’s never over until it’s over

My favourite recurring trope on this website like WHO are they?! 😭😭

Tbh she’s already won in a way because nobody will remember or care about Boygenius in 10 or even 5 years but Lana has been relevant for 13 and counting. She has a legacy whereas these other folks don’t.

I feel like the whole “trying to be esoteric” thing circles back around to being so basic and uninspired…

She even performed for them on Zoom…it has to be SOTY.
