Good eye! Ironically enough, that fan lives in Louisiana which is where the assumed location stemmed from, but based on the clothes and jewelry she’s wearing in both photos it does appear to be from that day. The photo was posted by the fan a few hours ago in a “photo dump” carousel, so further information was unknown. I was thinking it might be older though due to how light her hair looks compared to what it was the last time we saw her. I’ve moved the posts into the existing thread! x

Interesting, thank you for sharing! I love their work together, and their versions of I Want it All still outsell imo xx I believe this bit is referring to Sugababes, which is an English pop girl group that was popular in the 2000s, sort of similar to Girls Aloud. They were probably working towards a song reminiscent of the group’s sonic style, which was very much of that 2000s dance pop / R&B sound x

I’ll be honest, I don’t love the snippet of the single. I think the high-pitched vocal part is throwing me off, but her normal operatic vocals in it sound gorg as always. However, you can only tell so much from a short snippet, so I’m still looking forward to the song as well as the album as a whole! I trust that she knows what she’s doing and know that regardless of what the singles look like, that there will be songs on the album that I’ll love as she’s my second favourite artist behind Lana mostly due to her writing and unique creativity. I’ll also say just in general with any artist’s album, I tend to favour the album tracks rather than the singles. I did actually really love all of Ancient Dreams’ singles though, but with Froot & L+F there were only a couple singles from each that I really loved, and then favoured more of the deeper album cuts. Overall, this is my ranking of her albums so I’m interested to see where this new one will fall: Electra Heart Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land The Family Jewels Froot Love + Fear

So I found myself in Greenville again earlier this week (I have a friend there so I visit every now and then since it’s only a 2.5 hour drive from Atlanta) so we decided to check out Jianna! We went on Tuesday night and it was a really nice day there as it was a high of 80F so by dinner time it was still in the 70s (it’s hot even for February!) so it was packed, the balcony where Lana had eaten was completely full and even inside there were sooo many people, I guess everyone was taking advantage of the nice day and wanted to get out. But omfg it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my LIFE. It was so delicious - I started w the Potato Gnocchi (minus the bacon to make it vegetarian) and ahhhh I could’ve eaten a bucket of that. I always love gnocchi, but this may have been the best rendition I’ve ever had. The gnocchi were so light and fluffy and the sauce was also light but absolutely packed with flavour. So. Good. Then for the entree I had their famous Spaghetti TBG (tomato, basil, garlic) and it was just as delicious. They hand-make their pasta in house daily, and you could tell. It was cooked to perfection. I could eat that every day for the rest of my life and be satisfied. I mentioned this to the waitress and she was like “we have a cookbook and both of the dishes you ordered are in it” so I bought the cookbook LOOOL. It’s massive and was also signed by the chef which was nice! I’m excited to try out some of the other recipes and remake the ones I ordered - I actually do really enjoy cooking so this will be fun! The staff was also lovely, I had to walk to the bathroom twice to take out and put back in my Invisalign trays before and after dining, and both times a waiter complimented my outfit (I was wearing the white Zimmermann dress Lana wore like 6 times on tour in 2023, it really is gorgeous) but it made me smile! I also mentioned to the waitress that I chose to dine there because of Lana’s visit, and she told me she was working the night she was there and that she was suuuuper kind to everyone. They didn’t even recognise it was her at first because she arrived in a hoodie sort of incognito, but some girls spotted her out on the balcony and started screaming lmaooo then word traveled. They also played Say Yes to Heaven at one point early on during my dining! Anyway, if you’re ever in the area, I would highly hiiiighly recommend stopping by if you like modern Italian food. The gnocchi is a MUST and I would also recommend one of the pastas since they’re handmade. I loved the one I had and it’s their bestseller. Soooo delicious, 5/5 stars, and I can’t wait to go back during my next visit to Greenville! Xx Pics I took out on the balcony once it cleared out at the end of the night - I rly wish I could’ve dined out there since it was such a lovely evening. Next time! x

Her most recent follow is Gretchen Rossi from RHOC, but this was two days ago. Sometimes her following count fluctuates without any new people being followed/unfollowed due to accounts being suspended/unsuspended (there’s been a rise in fanpage suspensions over the past year including both of the LanaBoards pages, but some pages have been able to get theirs back through appeals) x

Not all things need to be observed / commented on

Chaparelle’s new song Devil’s Music released at midnight! When I saw them in October, this is the song they opened their set with and I really liked it and figured it would probably serve as a single. It was a great song to open the set and a good one for the new year too. I actually think this could be a fun song to open the album with and have it serve as the title track. However, I am a little disappointed that the studio version is only two minutes! When they performed it live, they repeated each verse* twice and added more instrumental breaks, I suppose just to lengthen it to the standard ~3:30 time. I guess you could play the song twice though to give it more of a full-body feel * - This song doesn’t have a typical song structure like VCVCBC, it’s sort of just three separate parts and then an outro. Perhaps it’s meant to be VCVO, but it’s a little hard to call it that since the “verses” are sonically/stylistic different from each other and the “chorus” doesn’t repeat.. it’s interesting, but I like it! x

Her vocals are STUNNING!! Just like in Stargirl, Lana didn't hold back in reaching those hypnotic, super high notes that she executes so well. I loveeee this sound from her, and he seems to bring it out in her on his projects. Would luvvv more of this sound on her own projects, but this is a tasty lil treat for now x I also made a lyric thread for the song if anyone would like to read, do an analysis, or make correction suggestions:

[The Weeknd] I tried my best to not let you go I don't like the view from halfway down Just promise me that it won't be slow Will I feel the impact of the ground? I just to try be something I'll never be Why waste another precious hour? Why waste another precious ounce? I'd rather leave somewhat of a legacy Familiar, a thought's so familiar Let me close my eyes with dignity Let's end it all, the world's not far behind So, what's the point of staying? It's going up in flames Act now Let's act now [Lana Del Rey] Act now Oh Hey [The Weeknd] Just hold my heartbeat close to you Remember how it always beats for you I'm falling at the speed of light I'm staring at your shrinking face Don't cry You know my heart belongs to you One last time, say that you want me too The only words that gave me life Now I see you on the other side Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh mama, I pray We're running away [Lana Del Rey] Ooh, hey Oh, hey It's a threat, not a promise If you're looking for rage If you're looking for ragin' Quiet for days Baby, you're running away Hey It's a threat, not a promise If you're quiet for days Hey, ah Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh [The Weeknd] Mama, I pray Mama, I pray From The Weeknd's new album Hurry Up Tomorrow I need a little help clarifying some of the lyrics, especially with the first verse and Lana's part!

When I’m the true insider all along

I have vvvvery vivid dreams, and I usually always remember them very well! I typically sleep for like 12 hours too, so plenty of time for them to conjure up. Sometimes I can even remember what seems like the entirety of the dream, every detail from start to fin, and it does feel like I had just watched a long movie or something lol. I keep a dream journal to look back upon to see if I can notice any themes/patterns, or see if any of my dreams manifested into reality.. and I've had loads of instances of that happening, even with Lana dreams

I had a dream the other night that an ~insider~ came onto the boards to share that Lana and Quavo had been working on a joint album titled "Call Me?" before it was ultimately scrapped. They had 7 songs finished before the project was abandoned to focus on their solo projects. The insider leaked what was intended to be the lead single from the record, but they leaked it without a title so there was a debate on whether the song was called "Gold and Grey" or "Golden Grey" - it sounded like a mix between Come With Me and Groupie Love. It had sort of that rising/soaring sonic sound and brought back some orchestral string instruments. Lana was singing mostly in her higher register and Quavo's part was during the bridge as Lana did some harmonies. That's all I can remember about the song, but it was really pretty xx

Another person on the boards that I follow on Instagram posted about them on their story yesterday, and that was how I found out XYLØ/Paige was still making music under another project I literally just unfollowed her on instagram earlier this month because I though she quit music and went MIA or something loool. I'm excited to listen to the new project! Unamerican Beauty is still one of my favourite records, so I'm looking forward to what's to come with Sunday (1994) I listened to Tired Boy last night and loved it, so I'll listen to the whole EP this weekend! x
