Hope someone is comforting Lana right now… I know she’s feeling it 

I just hope she never mentions this and in the future stops campaigning for this crap
 
i really don’t think it’s deserving of her ranting and coming across like a sore loser, just move on and enjoy the success of the album from other places

Sigh. I’m going to bed. My heart can’t take this.

I'm not watching the main ceremony, I'm sorry. I just can't see Lana losing again when she deserves to win. 

ill go to bed. if she goes home empty-handed, i hope she never submits anything again cause whats the point anymore

Stop being QUITTERS we still have AOTY and SOTY
No giving up everrrr
CLEARLY the voters are crackheads so anything can happen 

She better pull Taylor Swift’s folklore - she won only album of the year although she was nominated for 6 Grammys. 

honestly nothing in the alt categories is a slap in the face - Lana deserves her flowers but again the Grammys are 100 years behind on what's happening in music - in like 20 years time they will be giving Lana her accolades and saying they supported her from the start ROT IN HELL

I’m so upset, I’m legit crying right now, my heart is breaking

I’m so upset, I’m legit crying right now, my heart is breaking

I’m so upset, I’m legit crying right now, my heart is breaking

I’m so upset, I’m legit crying right now, my heart is breaking

3/5 she’s lost. That is so fucked up. And even the worst song on OB is objectively better than anything boygenius has ever made and will ever make. This is so fucking heartbreaking

So unfair. That Paramore song sucked. And why boygenius sweeping?? Hopefully they are saving Lana’s wins for prime time 

this is completely fucked up wtf 
 
we have to accept that these old white men don’t like lana at all, they don’t get her 

I’m cackling at Flavor Flav’s caption

I think this is right. In that same Blue Banisters livestream she talked about maybe doing something called “Country and Western” which would have been “country plus Cali” in her words — to me, this suggests she was going to combine literally all of the covers into one album (Pacific Blue  / other folk songs / country covers). 
 
I’m thinking Lasso is a collection of *original* country songs written with Jack Antonoff, Nikki Lane, and Luke Laird — with the one customary cover (akin to Paradise, Ultraviolence, Honeymoon, NFR, and Chemtrails), and I think that cover is Stand By Your Man. 

According to Lana in the past four years or so, she has been simultaneously working on a variety of albums that haven't come to fruition.
 
After the release of NFR (October 2019) she announced Pacific Blue, a covers album that she said would feature covers of songs by the Beach Boys, Elvis, and Chris Isaak. Since announcing that album in 2019, she has sporadically teased it over the years. It is generally inferred that this album - as Pacific Blue - didn't come to fruition, and she changed the concept to be an album full of "American standards and classics", those words directly inferring a collection of "folk" covers. She announced the "American standards" bit in November 2020. She would be quiet about the covers album throughout the rollout of Chemtrails over the Country Club until her March 2021 interview with MOJO. In the interview with MOJO, she further referred to the folk covers album as a one of two albums she had developed - the other being a separate country covers album.
After the release of Chemtrails over the Country Club, Nikki Lane remarked that she and Del Rey had written multiple songs together and that we could "expect to see the fruit of that". A few days later while performing with Nikki, Lana remarked “looking forward also to our country record that we’re putting out later.”
Until September 2021, we wouldn't hear about any of these records due to the rollout of Blue Banisters. That month is when she revealed that she was still working on her "covers album" a couple days out of the week. The next month on an Instagram live, she said she was considering combining her covers album with her country album.
Again, she would be silent about any of these records until August 2022, when she posted on her story "hope you guys like country". The rollout of Ocean Blvd probably got in the way of these records again. Now she's officially announced the country-based album Lasso, which may take any, all, or no form of any of the previously-mentioned records.
 
Laying it all out:
At face value, without any deeper thought, this basically lays out the potential existence of six unreleased records. That being said, it's obvious that some of these projects overlapped and took extremely fluid forms. It also seems that Del Rey even confused some of the publications she spoke with, or was outright unclear when speaking about the albums herself. But what is the truth!??!?
 
The six alluded-to albums:
"Pacific Blue" covers album
"American standards and classics" folk covers album
"A cover album of country songs" (described by MOJO)
"Other folk songs" album (described by MOJO)
"The fruit" of writing sessions with Nikki Lane / "our country record" as described by Lana
"Lasso" - remarked to be a "country album"
 
My thoughts:
Pacific Blue became the American standards and classics folk covers album, which is the same "other folk songs" album that MOJO was referring to.
I have no idea what her cover album of country songs is, though she articulated she wanted to combine her covers album with her country album. It's not clear if she was referring to her country covers or her folk covers album, though it is more likely to be the country covers.
Del Rey's writing sessions/country record with Nikki Lane AND her country covers album may ACTUALLY be Lasso.
 
In conclusion, I think these are now TWO albums:
Pacific Blue / American Standards and Classics / Other Folk Songs
AND
Country Covers Album / Nikki Lane Collab Album / Lasso
 
Thoughts???

The way they gave Lana an actual magazine-worthy photoshoot and not just plain nude background underwear photos like with other celebrities (even some huge ones like SZA, Rosalia or Cardi B)… 
 
Lana specifically referenced other Nadia Lee photoshoot and she got exactly what she wanted! It looks like absolutely something on her terms and not just a money grab opportunity (although I bet the cheque was FAT)

Molly Dickson who is a celebrity fashion stylist commented on lana’s pics, both lana and ben followed her last week, I’m thinking the GRAMMYS? 

Kim calling lana “music’s queen of hearts” and kylie Jenner “iconic”, I’m starting to like the kardashians 

i really don't think she cares like at all

SHE REALLY SAID MOTHER
 
Also kinda petty from Kimberly for having Lana singing at her wedding with Kanye, to Lana singing about Kanye being unhinged and then to featuring Lana in her SKIMS campaign. Honestly queens
