"This is the only track I didn't talk to any of the journalists about for a reason. The title, of course. It's my favourite track of the 16-track record. How it sounds is how the record started off, but then it went to a brighter place.. folky-like"

On June 23rd, Lana Del Rey will be performing at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Don't forget them ...

forgive my editing skills 

did my part for #democracy

The song is I Want to Sing by Regina Spektor which she did brief acapellas of at a few of her shows in 2014, I’m not sure if we’ve ever had any sort of evidence to suggest she ever professionally recorded this song though x

I was wondering that too as I also saw those comments from Ben and Ed, but also I think it could mean that maybe Ben and Ed are managing her now. News broke that she split with her previous management about a month ago, so perhaps she's now partnered with them at TaP. It would make sense why Lana followed her recently if she's become part of the crew, and if they are in fact with the same management now, we could possibly anticipate some future projects together such as a collab or even touring together! I would die seeing them both at the same show, I saw both of them at Hangout Fest earlier this year and need a round 2 immediately x
 

This is more important than all the presidential elections that happened worldwide this year. #JustVoted 

If I win any of these I will post the thirstiest traps that have ever trapped in the pictures of you thread......within LBs content rules of course.....

Thank you to both @Veinsineon and @Dark Angel for the shout outs 

Both an excellent and jail-worthy use of the English language. I loved reading this but also wish I couldn’t. 

Frankly I think Santa is giving us a big fat lump of COAL for Leakmas this year but I’m going to hold out on submitting my votes just in case we get something fat and chewy for Leak of the Year

Omg I’m so honored you nominated me for something!!

omg thank you!!
 
And also thank you @Elle @ultrabanisters @motelsix @Embach and anyone else who nominated me!

May I be among the first few to kick of the self-campaigning, as just because I’m the host doesn’t mean I can’t campaign for myself too!
Also, with every category I’m self-campaigning for, I’m also going to give an endorsement for who else I’d like to see nominated in the category! Can’t be completely selfish here xx
 
Elle - for your consideration…
 
Best Profile Picture
This was a new award we introduced last year that I won by having my PFP set to a selfie of Lana and me together at the mall last year, and I’m back to fight for round 2 with my new profile picture I set back in May after partying with Lana at V12! & hey, if you don't like me in it, at least cast a vote for Lana's sake as she mogged me anyway xx
My endorsement: Given that @lmdr has been teasing some stunning outtakes through his PFPs recently, I think it’s only proper that he is also nominated in this category.
 
 
Best Signature
This award actually reminded me to update my signature a couple of days ago, as it contains a photograph I have taken at every Lana show I’ve attended over the past decade! I think it’s pretty cute x
My endorsement: Honestly, I can’t recommend anyone else for this category since I have signatures turned off  I’m sorry, I just can’t deal with the multiple-gif ones some of you have!
 
 
Nicest Member
I always try to sprinkle sunshine whenever I go, and even when I have to lay down the law with a mod queue or warning point, I always do it with lots of love  
My endorsement: @Embach! Truly one of the sweetest members we have ever had on the site, and her posts and interactions with others always make me smile.
 
 
Veteran Member
I have truly put my life on the line for this country website, dueling through many battles over being a member for the past 11 1/2 years & owner for the past 8! It’s hard to believe I’m nearing a decade of ownership! 
My endorsement: @Veinsineon will be passing the decade-versary mark on LanaBoards next year, and is as active as ever which I love to see. @Dark Angel is also now finally eligible for this award, and is another staple LanaBoards member who has continued to be active through the years!
 
Biggest Stan
If there is one award that I truly care about winning more than anything else, it’s this one. Not only am I the gracious owner of the largest Lana Del Rey fan site who has now attended 19 shows with my big 20 already planned for next year in Ireland, but I have arguably one of the largest Lana collections that includes nearly 200 magazines, over 100 clothing items as seen on LDR, and hundreds of other merch items! Here's some photos and detailed list of my collection that I took in 2020, and if you can even imagine it, it's even larger now.. maybe winning this award will give you all a little 5-year update after the release of The Right Person Will Stay, as I’m sure my collection will be growing even more following its merch and media drop x
My endorsement: @admin  Sorry, but I must win this award!!
 
 
Peace Keeper
Again, I know it’s not fun when I have to lay down the law sometimes, but without my efforts this place would honestly be a hell hole, you have to admit it.
My endorsement: Any and all of my moderators!! (@That Venice Bitch @NikoGo @ultrabanisters @fishtails) I am endlessly grateful for all of the hard work that they do helping me keep this place under control as I definitely could not handle this all on my own. It’s never lost on me how important they are to have on my team.
 
 
Be My Daddy - for Hottest Member
I've graciously won this award three years in a row after a long saga of runner-up for several years, so I'm back to try to take home the title again! In case you need a refresher of my beautiful face, here's my best shot from this year:
My endorsement: @Mer and I have been facing off in this category for the past few years, and I’m ready to face off again… and honestly, he’s someone I couldn’t even complain about losing to because his face card NEVERRR declines.
 
 
Iconic Moment of the Year
Me partying with Lana at a club in Atlanta on a random Wednesday night. I’m sorry, but this is the most iconic thing to have ever happen ever, at least in my book. From sobbing on my sofa at 9pm to then dancing with my favourite artist to her own songs just two hours later?? This still feels like an unrealistic dream like howwwwww did this happen… it needs to be honoured xx
My endorsement: Lana bringing out Billie Eilish as a special guest during her Coachella W1 performance. This was another surreal moment - watching both artists sing each other’s debut song that led them to be where they are today brought tears to my eyes. I’ve personally been a fan of both since the start of their careers, and if you told me even 5 years ago that this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have believed you. Also, Lana & Charli finally meeting and being photographed together at the Variety Hitmakers awards - truly a moment in LanaBoards history.
 
 
Lipster of the Year
All I'm going to say is that this place wouldn't be here without me...
My endorsement: @Embach, once again! Truly an icon on this site! Though this place wouldn’t be here without me, it wouldn’t be the same without her xx
