I’m getting Lust for Life writing process vibes where she started out in a quieter place and was leaning more into stylistic ballads but then 14 months into the process she just naturally happened to be more outgoing and active and ~out on the scene~ so the sound shifted to be a bit more contemporary and upbeat. And maybe that explains some of her hesitance now because perhaps the songs are a bit more traditionally country and classic-sounding but she’s in a place where she wants to create something else.

She’s giving CEO girlboss queen, living for Corporatena

Everytime she’s back on the east coast, something shifts…

Omg the new pics are giving everything. It feels very early LDR circa the original Blue Jeans video and Carmen video in 2011 meets her current sensibility. So excited

Oh my God, congrats @colaandvideogames! You deserve it, you are the absolute sweetest and the universe clearly sees that, hence, this exciting news. Both you and Lana are lucky to get to have lunch with each other! Can’t wait for the updates, have funnnn

Such a good show. And the quality of the livestream really took me back to 2012 - super nostalgic all around

Omg she looked amazing and sang beautifully - Etienne + Anna killed the glam today

I just joined the stream now during The Grants and the guitars and pianos being out of tune every now and then? Lol

Cherry is always going to be a highlight for me live, it’s such a moment and brings a lot of life to the set so I’m glad that one has stayed.

@American Whore This is not a “hive mind” or “group think” situation where people are blindly following an opinion that’s popular for the sake of social capital or maintaining a status quo…given the history of the state of Israel and its violent occupation of Gaza, there is a genocide going on and people are naturally going to be outspoken against that. It’s not uncritical to be critical of Israel, in fact, we’ve seen that the “hive mind” or “safer” stance in terms of maintaining the status quo is to support the oppressor - case in point, look at how many people have lost their careers simply for refusing to support a genocide. Normal people, at that. And nobody is endorsing anti-Semitism by supporting Palestine, the two are not mutually exclusive at all. To play contrarian in the face of people’s and children’s lives lost is beyond reductive, and these innocent civilians do not represent whatever “anti-LGBTQ” sentiments you’re talking about. People are not their governments - you could say the exact same thing about the US. There’s no point in anyone even engaging with some of the points you’ve made if your mind is made up but I hope people’s responses to you make you think twice about doubling down.

I still think it’s coming but her “hesitance” to that question was more so about how her speaking about it at this point, now that everyone’s doing country, would not be as novel - of course, I’m inferring this based on her subsequent comment about how three major artists announced country albums. So I think that doesn’t necessarily mean anything about the album, just that she perhaps wants to let it speak for itself since it’s kind of on trend in a way - but it’s Lana, so it’s still going to be fully her. And obviously anything she says about an album is novel, so we’re perched regardless!

She looks so incredible. And I loved her speech and admire everything she said - truly an authentic force in this world, regardless of how niche her industry and fame are.

I’m actually obsessed with this and have been thinking about it all day

I love her lol

Omg the Internet really ate up my ten-minute album cover…I keep seeing it on YouTube and Twitter especially.

She looked sooooo good. These warm tones on her are so beautiful - I feel like I say this all the time but 2011 is so back

Camp and idgaf war queen. But in all honesty, the authenticity around it all is what translates across - and that’s Lana

Yeah, I wonder what happened with Wally…I know people were saying he got the ax but there’s no proof of animosity and I don’t want to immediately assume there was some falling out. It could be a logistical issue but still weird

I think the bikes are still going to be at this show, because you can see a bike onstage on Jazzy’s Instagram story

Alabama getting the setlist compared to Coachella (even though that was iconic too)…priorities queen. She knows Lanabama is hers.

Omfg…she’s used Peppers twice on Instagram this month so hoping it’s not a fluke. The Twitter stans lied about the Coachella soundchecks so #trustnoone but I’m holding onto hope…

Summer 2011 vibes all across the board…she’s honouring her roots

I feel like the Lust for Life framework for collabs could work for Lasso - having one legend and then a few of your own peers. Quavo, Kacey Musgraves, Orville Peck, Nikki Lane, and Dolly Parton would be my picks for the album based on what makes sense realistically and what I would hope for from a country duet.

Face is giving 2008 oh wow…true beauty never fades 🌹

When Doin Time came out, we initially thought it was just for the Sublime documentary - it was then tacked onto NFR and kind of became the album’s most commercial song. I’m wondering if that’s the case here. Lasso was done, and then by happenstance, she linked up with Quavo and they made the song. So, like Doin Time, perhaps the song just kind of came out of nowhere and she felt it could go on the album.
