I 100% agree with you here.  I think her reference to colonization is extremely tactless and makes her come off as privileged and ignorant.  Particularly when she must be aware of the horrors of colonization, having referenced donating money to Native groups just earlier this year and said stuff in interviews about volunteering on a reservation.  Thinking back to her (also tactless) wearing a headdress in the Ride video during the part that says "I believe in the country America used to be" -- I really don't know if Lana has ever come to terms with her privilege or the historical context it has.  Which you'd think, because she glorifies America - a white settler colony still occupying Native land - It's not a good look; that's for sure.  Particularly at a time in history where the war against indigenous people across the globe is still raging and more dire than ever.
 
IMO, in light of what's going on just this year -- with Bolsonaro encouraging further genocide against the indigenous people of Brazil, the Wet'suwet'en people facing Canada's continued brush off of their rights and sovereignty, the way the out of control Australian fires have highlighted the importance of Aboriginal wisdom, the Costa Rican indigenous activist Yehry Rivera being murdered as the Broran community is trying to reclaim their land -- it's never been clearer that the impact of colonialism is still a massive wound in today's world.  For Lana to throw out such a loaded term so casually, and probably referencing some bullshit first world white girl problem like breaking up with her cop boyfriend or thinking her fans are mean to her or some shit -- it's really honestly disgusting to me.  She's built her entire career glamorizing American history without a single mention of how the entire country she "loves" is built upon violence, carnage, millions of dead bodies, and complete disregard for life.  If it wasn't official before (and tbh I havent been a fan for a while) I cannot be a fan of Lana at the fuck all.  She has all this money and privilege and a massive platform with millions of fans doting on her every word, and she's doing jack shit with it.  What a fucking waste.
 

sorry,  I just had to do it  
 

Yup, pretty sure she never really did care that much about her fans and I don’t say that to be rude or offensive but what I mean is that she’s always said she never planned on getting famous and that she prefers the quiet life and that she ‘just wanted to sing’. And lately it’s been kind of showing that the rush of being famous has worn out and that maybe she isn’t ready to handle the responsibility and commitment that comes with being famous.
 
Tbh I need to find a way to detach myself from her ‘personally’ and only stan the music but it’s so damn hard!

Exactly and I need to find a way to accept this because I am still so damn disappointed. It’s the worst thing ever when a person you love so much and are so excited to see doesn’t seem to reciprocate the feelings. Honestly I almost wish she didn’t put that apology video up because it only confirmed to me that she really doesn’t realize or grasp just how big of a deal this cancellation was for us non US citizens

Yeah her being spotted at Hillsong just made it an extra slap lol

i'm still mad tbh 

It's actually hilarious how she was just like yeah not feeling this... for absolutely no reason LMAO. 

“She falls silent. A waft of brass floats by and mingles with her cigarette smoke. I think about her live shows, such as the outdoor one she's due to play later that night, during which she'll respond to the constant screams – her fans are too busy taking photos to applaud – by letting her band jam away for 20 minutes while she wanders the photo pit, posing for selfies with fans in the front row. Surely during those moments she must love what she does.
"No," she says. Then after another drag from her cigarette she looks down towards the busy street below and says. "I don't know what I think. All I know is that, right now, I like sitting here, on this terrace." She leans back and, for a moment, looks completely content in the silence.”
 
I stumbled upon this interview today from The Guardian 2014, I read this part and thought it would be interesting to share in the lights of this tour cancellation

her support of cops is a loss for the culture

As I said ... I'm not saying she is, but given ... past events and circumstances, it wouldn't surprise me.
 
Not gonna argue about it because people get sooooo offended when you even suggest it ... it's almost as if they think addiction is a character flaw, rather than an illness.

True. Honestly after this video I’m 100% sure she wasnt sick and was just lazy and couldn’t be arsed to go all the way to Europe.
Although she did look a bit ‘down’ too?

Cryyyy
I did not wait a full week for such a lame impersonal statement
It kinda feels like she only did it out of obligation after reading everything online
 
Grr I guess I’m still not over the fact that I was supposed to see this beauty and didn’t

The IG video came after nearly a week of waiting to address, was short, to-the-point, and (lighting was sketchy) as RormanNockwell pointed out she was wearing a shirt that said "it's a beautiful sunday to leave me alone double agent" (a shirt she's worn before, just with a diff cutting). With her wearing that and now-obviously planning to go to church, the vid seems like less of something she did because she knew it was right and more to get people off her back so she could attend church without that being her first appearance to the public. Also, again pointed out by Rorman, one of her dancers (ashley) is now private on IG and the other one went private and then public again. Speculation as to what that could imply. 

I've always been the first to defend Lana's appearance, but those fillers

Her mommy era is coming soon.

I thought her keys were a cigarette for a good few seconds

It's more the timing of the video and other shady stuff that's gone on since then lol. 

What’s beyond me though is that whenever she’s around fans she’s the sweetest. How can she be acting so careless now?

So my story is:
I had flown into Paris specifically for the concert. Coming from a ‘3rd world country’ I had spent weeks preparing papers to apply for a VISA + booking hotel rooms and tickets in the context of a new economical crisis in the country.
But i was worth it. I was going to see Lana again after so many years (Last time was in 2013 when she came to my country)
And I was SO damn excited. I didn’t care that her shows were lazy and that her voice wasn’t the best lately. I just wanted to SEE her, to be in the same space as her, to watch her move
I was listening to her music nonstop for months to express my excitement
 
And then this happens. It was like a slap in the face. I was so heartbroken.
Not just bc it was cancelled but I’m heartbroken because I lost all the admiration I had for her. I don’t idolize her anymore. But I think i needed this to happen because my obsession was getting out of hand.
