the self titled rollout was shaky but we were so traumatised from xcx world that no one actually believed we were in album mode

?
 
it’s her natural texture, this is a gross take….
 
nothing ratty or hideous about curly hair that’s not perfectly tamed, frizz is beautiful  i love seeing her embrace the curls after years of straightening it

She’s never sounded like this. We’re in for another game changing era imo

boring, unimaginative, tryhard, corny but at least she looks good! if only the music department put as much thought as the looks department…

The drop in quality from her debut to now is SHOCKING

literally who asked for this  we want TOTL3 

It's so wild that this is the content she is allowed to release. Someone at the record label truly hates her.

If I call you up after 3 am with liquor in my bloood

The picture with the gun is my Roman Empire.
 

As much as I wanted her to win (and as much as I think Midnights is not totally AOTY material), her reaction to Taylor winning was the cutest thing tbh and I'm glad she posted that clip lol 

She posted a VERY LONG snippet of new music THIS IS NOT A DRILL

They didn’t even listen, those bastards 

It is absolutely INCOMPREHENSIBLE that the Grammy voters listened tunnel and thought “yeah this doesn’t deserve any awards”
 
like there is no explanation, it doesn’t make any sense in any way WHATSOEVER 

I 100% had the impression she was going with her father , specially because his Instagram post about the suit he got.
Idk , call me thin foil hat but i felt something off with that whole thing ... her pre Grammy party vibe was so different , she was so happy and interacting with everyone .

I feel very sad seeing her sad  Ocean blvd title track hits harder today... after all it's just stupid scammys. I just hope she won't give up 

We must stream Charli's upcoming single and album for clear skin

Charli XCX

I saw a comment on Reddit that Taylor Swift knows Lana better than any of us, and honestly, a lot of people need to hear that and understand that instead of acting like Taylor did Lana dirty last night

Boygenius is fucking whole foods gluten free aisle fake deep indie that makes Clairo look fucking deep in comparison. And no one give a fuck about Paramore and their 2009 hot topic pop-punk shit thats been stale for over a decade now and an insult to real punk music. The more one thinks about the alternate category snubs the more insulting everything becomes 

I think it hurts worse because I was so sure and confident that she would be winning at least one. I wasn't even worried because I just knew she had it in the bag. I think I'm still in shock. 

I really thought that she would win Best Alternative Music Performance. She had *no* competition at all. A&W was the most acclaimed song of 2023. It topped all the major publications' lists. It received a SOTY nomination. There was no fucking competition! When she lost that, I knew that she'd leave empty-handed. I mean, I get it, for some bizarre reason "the record" was the most acclaimed album of 2023 so it beating Ocean Blvd in the Alternative Album category was a plausible scenario as much as we don't like it. But the Scammys refusing to give Lana the Alternative Performance Grammy despite the fact that 2023 was a huge year for her both commercially and critically and that she had a unanimously raved song? It's an insane and disgusting snub. 

Ok I know it's nottt that serious but I'm on my lunch break running on two hours of sleep and I felt inspired to write a dramatic incoherent rant of my own to get some of my frustration out, read at your own peril:
 
I feel like this was a "last exit before the bridge" type of situation; it's a shame the Grammy's missed it. Not for Lana, but for them. 
 
As other on this forum have so eloquently pointed out, it's a sore spot for the music industry at large that the woman they ridiculed a decade ago turned into arguably the most influential artist of her generation, spawning many of today's establishment-darlings. It's no wonder they are scared of her, and scared to reward her, because it means admitting fault, and that's never an easy thing to do. 
 
Yet, one might have thought, twelve years after Born To Die's release, on the back of a career-defining, genre-spanning ninth studio album, they could finally have found the grace and humility to say, hey, we were wrong. To finally give an artist as influential - and historically controversial - as Lana her flowers would have been a good look on the Grammys, one that's become rarer and rarer in years mired by public outcry at the choice of winners for the big awards. 
 
I don't mean to understate Lana's ability to reinvent herself and redefine her artistry time and time again, I'm certain she can and will continue to challenge our expectations of her in the best way possible, but it’s still hard to imagine an opus rivaling Ocean Blvd arriving anytime soon. This album is such a layered, richly rewarding listen for anyone who has followed Lana's journey as an artist: her barest lyrics yet evoke impossible emotions, worlds of meaning are hidden within the structure of the tracklist, the album morphs into then transcends the metaphor of its eponymous track.
 
Nominating such a body of work five times yet refusing to bestow any accolades upon it while awarding other, derivative, and frankly infinitely more simple albums and songs is a confounding choice on the Recording Academy's part, but it's not Lana Del Rey's loss. Though she keeps pushing ever forward, the culture at large has finally caught up to her—  at least enough to recognise her impact as a generational artist, even as her self-mythology remains impermeable to many. 
 
Lana will move through this as she has moved through all the noise that has surrounded her for more than decade: without missing a step in her unrelenting quest to offer up her soul’s truth in her music. But when your first four-time AOTY winner in history has to take time out of her speech to praise, in her own words, that legend in her prime, who is standing behind her in the shadows, empty-handed—  you have to realise you've abjectly failed as a committee whose stated aim is to recognise "outstanding" achievements in music. 
 
Lana will probably win a Grammy one day, but it will ring hollow when she does. The moment of redemption has passed.

I think she knew after not winning earlier in the day; I don’t mean literal spoilers, but knew in her heart. I thought so the moment I saw her outfit… this is just speculation, but I don’t think that was her planned dress. It looked to me like she chose to dress, not like the spotlight winner (which she DID dress as for the gala the night before, when she still thought she might win), but like the mysterious eccentric genius, the artists’ artist, too cool for a mainstream award but there to support her basic bee friend. I really liked Taylor bringing her on stage; that was right. Lana IS the living legend.
