WHAT?

Laufey is touring with Mitski, and Mitski is indeed a peer of Lana’s I think this performance was curated specifically for the win that we’re about to witness!

I’m glad Billie won - that song was really moving and truly was a cultural force this year.

Sorry girl ignore me - nothing against Phoebe personally. It’s just a genre of singer that has never been for me

Literally WHO is Boygenius? I kept thinking of Perfume Genius for like two months after the Grammy nominations got announced. Then three weeks ago I realized it included an artist whose music I just couldn’t get into for the life of me. What did Lizzy Grant say on Facebook years ago? I am a hater…

I’ve never heard that SZA x Phoebe Bridgers song lol. Well!

All this goes to show is that it doesn’t take anything special to be anyone…where’s that tweet that says there are people dumber than you doing the job you want

Not him basically calling them ugly and then calling them “motherfuckers” ☠️

I’m too excited…🖤🩶🤍 This is like the highlight of my week lol.

The good thing about Lana sitting next to Taylor is that the cameras love to show Taylor every single chance they get…so Lana should get some decent screen time!

WOW - one of her best looks for sure. I’m not even sure what part is my favourite because everything is on point. Also so sentimental how this look references her Brits look 12 years ago. VW 🖤

I hope her outfit from when she announced Lasso is an indication of her fashion for this week…🖤 I’m living for the classic silhouettes. And the bows!

When I think of Lana’s take on outlaw, I imagine something slow and ominous like God Knows I Tried or Nancy Sinatra’s Bang Bang -

Lana sitting close to the front at the Grammys…so she can easily walk up onstage to get her award(s)!

Yes, specifically the covers album, as she talked about this idea right after saying “the covers album is still in existence”. It is still a bit convoluted like you say, though, so time will tell indeed lol. BUT I think everything you’re inferring is the case, at least from my same observations and interpretation of what information we have. Thanks for piecing this all together because it definitely helps sort the projects and clarifies what kind of songs will be on Lasso!

I think this is right. In that same Blue Banisters livestream she talked about maybe doing something called “Country and Western” which would have been “country plus Cali” in her words — to me, this suggests she was going to combine literally all of the covers into one album (Pacific Blue / other folk songs / country covers). I’m thinking Lasso is a collection of *original* country songs written with Jack Antonoff, Nikki Lane, and Luke Laird — with the one customary cover (akin to Paradise, Ultraviolence, Honeymoon, NFR, and Chemtrails), and I think that cover is Stand By Your Man.

Tbh I believe her about September. The release of Ocean Blvd was relatively organized with no false release dates, and she’s said this year that her inclination is more towards simpler songs, now having worked out the complex subject matter of the last record. I imagine the whole process has been pretty fast and easy in terms of writing post-Ocean Blvd. Plus, the way she talked about it last night seems like this has been an ongoing side project for the last few years that finally made sense to polish into a real record and release now.

Also manifesting horses everywhere, please 🐎

YES. Lana has been flirting with country since the very beginning, it was about time that she leaned all the way into it. I love that there seems to be a strong stylistic emphasis so far (hence, a title as on the nose as Lasso) because when Lana consciously gets into a genre, she undoubtedly makes it her own.

Not being shady but I didn’t know who Boygenius was until the nominations got posted…Lana is in her bag

I can’t believe this song is real. The ending is like…

When I saw she was covering Blue Skies, my immediate thought was that she slowed it down and made it very dark and dramatic…like Candy Necklace or her cover of Once Upon a Dream. I hope I’m right.

This is actually untrue. Nicki and her husband went to high school together. Regardless, it’s fallible and reductive to call Lana “the queen of underage relationships” and to liken the subject matter of her very nuanced songs to Nicki’s personal life and association with certain men. They’re very different things.

Minaj. u coulda been the greatest female rapper alive but u blew it. dont take it out on the only person who had ur back. Psychotic beef, but entertaining - I’ll give it that. And tbh nothing new from Nicki.

Born to Die singlehandedly changed my life - and that’s not an exaggeration, I really mean that. It’s unfathomable that one album could be a gateway to so many beautiful things in life…🌹
