All images so far -

She's on the red carpet with an interviewer x

Posted the first glance at her look in an Appearances thread:

Lana Del Rey has arrived at the Billboard Women in Music Awards at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California. She will be awarded with the Visionary Award. Gallery: Red Carpet: With others: Onstage: Fan photos & selfies: Videos:

She's there. Stand by... x

I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if she doesn't, but her hairstylist posted a video teasing her look tonight, so I think she's still attending. Maybe she just won't walk the red carpet, but at least accept the award x https://www.instagram.com/p/CpRPLnSrEah/

I'll make a thread in the Appearances section with photos/videos once she arrives, it's all set to go just waiting on Lana! x

Posted a few hours ago -

This is the only thread where asking for links is currently allowed.. links for the red carpet, of course xx

The red carpet has begun and some of the stars have begun to arrive & walk! Still unsure on how you can view a livestream, so if anyone has any pointers please let us know! x

Well, I'm about to make a whole box of ziti pasta to stress eat until the Billboard WIM Awards (if she even attends - again, wouldn't blame her if she decides not to show up) This whole situation is really disappointing especially as it's so early, so I'm hoping nothing else leaks. Though, I'm happy to see that not too many people have been breaking rules during this time by not requesting/sharing links to the leaks. Hoping things don't get too crazy for the next few weeks until the release x

The mod team and I will have no peace for the next 23 days. So, not only does the really suck for Lana, but for us too. I'm just really, really hoping that people will behave... and that not much more leaks... x

I honestly wouldn't blame her at all if she ended up not showing up to the event out of anger. It's such a shame this is all happening so early, it's really disappointing to see x

Now, I haven't listened to the recent leaks because I want to wait until the release day to hear the album in full, but as admin I have to read spoilers to ensure everyone is still following the rules, so regarding this -

Welcome to your first leak cycle as mod. Unfortunately, it's happening way earlier than anticipated.. x

Another reminder. Please be on your best behaviour. Mods are watching x

Looks like there actually will be a gatefold according to Kali -

First look at the standard record from Graffiti Records! Unfortunately, it’s not a gatefold, but still beautiful. They noted their favourite track to be Deserve Me w/ Summer Walker -

Not for staff, leak day is objectively the most stressful day of the year for me I swear I aged 20 years the day Blue Banisters leaked while I was away on holiday and I was modding from my hotel room. I do NOT want a repeat, especially not this early x

Hate this energy, please don't do it. I am not prepared today to deal with a leak today, I'm wayyy too tired If not for the benefit of Lana, at least for the benefit of the LanaBoards mod team... We have less than a month to go now, everyone.. patience is virtue x

Oh boy... well, now feels appropriate for a general reminder: Please do not request where to listen to leaks. This will result in a Warning Point & a Moderator Queue until release day. Please do not give hints on where to find leaks. This will result in a Warning Point & a Moderator Queue until release day. Please do not post direct links to leaks, whether in snippet or leak form. This will result in a permanent ban - no exceptions. Please use spoilers when sharing thoughts/details obtained from listening to a leak - this includes lyrics, descriptions, general feedback, etc. Thanks everyone in advance for being on your best behaviour.

I made this gif from this video, so here are some alternate crops/sizes for you to use: Also, I've been meaning to add new smileys for a while, both Lanacons and Misc Emoticons, and have some set aside already. I'll work on finishing up the selection and adding them in this week x

Please stay on topic in this thread, everyone... keep this to discussion that is directly related to the upcoming album only. If you feel an off-topic conversation brewing but still wish to reply, please quote it and reply in another thread such as the Random Lana Discussion or Random Conversation Thread. This can be done by pressing the + icon at the bottom of a post and then pressing the "Quote (#) post" button at the bottom of the lower corner in another thread. We also have many individual threads for discussion about specific songs, such as the Text Book thread in the lyrics section which would have been more appropriate place to begin this conversation. x

So, Ellie Goulding’s album got pushed from March 24th (originally February 3rd) now to April 7th. She noted physical production delays as the reason, but I’m wondering if TAP just didn’t want two of their artists releasing the same day since Lana’s got pushed after Ellie’s and figured the Ellie fans could wait a little bit longer while the Lana fans would’ve gone feral with a third release date from a pushback
