I knew this thread was going to be on fire. We obviously know Lana does not mean to justify any actions of the Royal Family and made it clear in her caption that she just admired the way Phillip and Elizabeth loved each other - much like how she’s used JFK/Jackie and Elvis/Priscilla as motifs in her career. Maybe I wouldn’t have acknowledged them at all, but we know she’s not insinuating anything harmful at her core. Let’s not feed into any damaging narratives spun by fake-woke Twitter users who likely don’t even bother to fact-check infographics that they spread around.

I’m so excited for the writing on this record. Chemtrails was amazing in that she really sung about her relationship with herself, which made for a record that was probably her most uniquely personal (not that her previous records were anything less than personal, just that Chemtrails was personal in a different way from her last records) and uniquely intimate. I really hope she continues to examine her life as a whole through the records, as it seems each album does that more increasingly. I admire her commitment to telling her story through her records and I can only imagine this one will dig even deeper than ever before!

Regarding people being upset about differences of opinions: I think it’s one thing to say you don’t prefer ads and another thing to speculate on someone’s finances (which is nobody’s business) and to make very unfair judgements on someone you don’t even know.

I don’t see a problem with the ads - as said earlier, they truly are the most minor of inconveniences and I didn’t really think anything of them! It’s such a small thing and if it’s earning you more then that’s amazing! <3

This record is so incredibly close to my heart. I think a lot of us can say that every single song speaks to us in some way - I certainly can. My relationship with the music has only continued to grow over the last 3 weeks and it’s just so special in every way. She truly poured her heart and soul into each song and her generosity of spirit really does shine through. an outstanding album that only adds to the genuineness of a true artist.

Omg this is amazing! Thank you so much, queen I love Lana’s tour outfits, literally every single outfit from the NFR tour is my favourite so it’s amazing to have them (and all the tour outfits) in one place! <333

Yosemite vs. The Next Best American Record

I got Dance Till We Die! I’d say it’s very accurate and it’s my favourite song on the record so there’s that too <3 this was really cool, thanks for making it and sharing it with us. Also so happy to see you back here!

Love you guys and no shade but can we please stop with the Republican comments? They only perpetuate an attribution that Lana has already disputed on several occasions. And friendly reminder that the people in Lana’s life are all real people whose existences are not to be fictionalized or reduced to being solely a part of her career <3

Another fan photo - reminds me of the photos she’d take with fans when leaving the Chateau Marmont in 2012!

Her hair, outfit, and vocals are EVERYTHING

I think the last time was in August 2019, the day before NFR came out - he posted a Polaroid to Instagram and credited her as the photographer! Rob liked the photo as well https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wHoNsAVvV/?igshid=vz0rf68ctq4l

Omg the end of Country Boy I Love You Vine!! Remix with Megan Thee Stallion confirmed xoxo

So I guess the 2 albums she referred to in that tweet from November are this album and Rock Candy Sweet! While I’m in the minority of people who are actually excited for this album, I don’t see a reason to be outright upset over this one as it doesn’t seem to be overshadowing Rock Candy Sweet at all. I thought it was made very clear in Music Week and through Lana’s social media comments lately that there would be a regular 8th studio album AND a supplemental project on the side just for fun. Give it a chance, it’s Lana! We’re all here still - surely if you’re still on this site, then the music has kept you hooked!

I would love if the live performance Lana and Nikki did last night would inform the sound of this record. Those steel guitars are something I'd love to hear more on a record from Lana <3

I did, it’s out on September 5th xoxoz

I’m so ready for this!!

I completely agree! The way people talk about her romantic life almost reads as though they don’t see it as anything more than content for her songwriting. I see so many comments about how she should go back to dating a certain person because it lines up with THEIR aesthetic vision for her records and that’s insane. Not just with Lana, but with any other celebrity, like you said. Even though Lana graciously tells us her life story within these songs, the life she is living is still very much real and I don’t think her being a public figure who selectively shares details gives anyone - fans or not - the right to harass her friends/family/partners or make light of the realities of romantic relationships. At the end of the day, we don’t know her and I’m sure if we were in her position, we wouldn’t want anyone making comments based on the very little/next-to-no information that they have.

I love her hope she’s doing good out there!!

Not that I necessarily think they broke up, but I guess it could speak volumes to the fact that a true relationship isn’t something that you have to force or chase like a butterfly, it just comes as is? I’ve often heard the famous trope that true love finds you when you least expect it, so maybe that ties in with the line “but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”?

Omg I thought it was Kristen Wiig cosplaying as Miss Piggy

Omg! I wonder if there will be a song on the new album called “Happiness is a Butterfly”!

She looks amazing as always! I wonder if that caption is lyrics or some motif for RCS? It definitely ties in with what the album’s narrative seems to be!

It also makes me wonder what that says about the role of social media. It’s funny because I feel like as soon as somebody chooses to withdraw from it for the sake of their mental health, the immediate assumption is that something is wrong - and while that can be true, I feel like it’s often quite the opposite, as I think taking steps towards better mental health is a sign that someone is on the right path <3
