    If there are interludes, I hope it’s one of her poems with haunting background instrumentals. Anything else would have to be a no from me

    I’m sorry but I hate seeing people shit on hope choreography on Twitter etc. It’s clear it was Lana that planned the whole thing, I mean which choreographer would make her sit with two men reading books?? There was intention behind every move and it was coming from Lana. Also who said slow songs couldn’t have a choreography? I mean I also don’t love it when her dancers shake their asses to born to die but with this performance I felt like they were kinda on point but still over dramatic. Also I kinda loved her getting dragged to leave, we always complain she doesn’t do anything new and yet make fun of it when she does it???

    She introduced Hope by saying
    "I also just wanna take a moment to think about my grandparents and my uncle who are buried in Barrington(?) amongst all my generations of family and just send a lot of love out to them and to their spirit, to the water---" "I've only wanted to play here since I was- I don't know, Fourteen. So Thank you"
     
    And then switches up the lyrics to say
     
    "Hello, It's the most famous woman you know on the Ipad
    Calling from the Barrington grave I just wanna say, Hi Dad"
     
    So touching, this is one of my favourite performances she's ever done

    I'm loving the analyses of the "Hope" performance. Does anyone have further ideas/interpretations regarding the part where the three dancers and Lana are in a line and take turns turning the head of the person in front of them? And then Lana talking to the CIA agents? I did really like the Marilyn interpretation, as I totally believe that Lana could base the performance off of that, but just wanted to welcome any additional ideas. I also noticed she changed lyrics. Not sure if it was intentional or she just semi forgot the words, but I'd lean towards intentional.
     
    Live Lyrics:
    "There's a new evolution, a quiet revolution that I saw
    Born of confusion, and quiet collusion of which nothing I know
    I'm a weak constitution, but a modern day woman but I've got
    Monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off
    I'm like a gatekeeper carelessly keeping my tales with the lights off"
     
    Album Lyrics:
    "There's a new revolution, a loud evolution that I saw
    Born of confusion and quiet collusion of which mostly I've known
    A modern day woman with a weak constitution, 'cause I've got
    Monsters still under my bed that I could never fight off
    A gatekeeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off"
     
    I'll also note that when she says "Of which nothing I know", it's when it seems like she's giving a statement to the CIA agent. Then they lean forward as if to threaten her, so it makes it seem like she is being intimidated into not speaking about something. This could tie into the Marilyn theory. I don't know much about her story, but in googling, it seems as though there are conspiracies that the CIA killed her for knowing too many secrets, so maybe Lana is being like "nope I don't know anything" as self-preservation.
     
    Am I looking too deep? Probably, but it's interesting and the conspiracy theorist in me is coming out. Lol

    Please she sounded SO good during For Free wow
     
    Her confidence shined from start to finish
     
    Hope was an incredible closer, much better than Video Games. Actually 2 more songs after VG is perfect. It's a shame she messed up the lyrics quite a few times, but I could tell she was focused on the choreo and everything, and was probably a bit nervous to sing such song only for the second time ever.
     
    I'm so happy we have this Hope performance because as much as I loved the Hollywood Bowl one, the screaming and people yelling stupid stuff ruined the footage we have. This crowd was phenomenal yet respectful.

    A girl that follows my account on Instagram told me that her best friend got to meet Lana and Rob in Newport today. She asked the girl “was it too much me getting dragged off the stage yesterday?” and that she was overthinking it 😭🥹

    It was beautiful and so meaningful, she changed the setlist to make it more close to the festivals vibe and was so happy performing at her dads hometown… Critics just pick one thing they dislike and let it overshadow all the good things she did/does.

    Hope performance 😭 
     the ending where they take her away… it reminded me of Fingertips where she says “what kind of mother was she to say I'd end up in institutions?” I think she’s representing her past (the AA meetings when she sings the Bowery bums part) but also the dramatic future her mother had imagined for her when she was a teen… cause she probably told her she was “crazy”

    I see the world didn’t implode without blue jeans and white mustang on the set. I hope Lana saw that too
