Bear with me, but I had a neat observation: after listening to BB, I think it’s interesting how frequently Lana ends a record by explicitly emphasizing femininity (often directly with the titles) and her interpretation of it. 
 
This Is What Makes Us Girls closes her debut record with supercut-like imagery of the friendship dynamics with women in her early years. The standard version of Ultraviolence does something similar in closing with a cover of The Other Woman, offering a less unified approach to TIWMUG’s love-centric expression.  

Lust For Life ends with Get Free, a track that defies the very love reliance she punctuated BTD and UV with, thereby adhering to this commitment for the women she felt were impacted by it: Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston. In its entirety, it’s almost an ode to women and their liberation from toxicity. 

In NFR, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have…BIHI—both in the title and its content—directly confronts her position as a woman that has been submerged in a world that often felt hopeless. 
 
COCC (an album designed to clarify and embrace her femininity) completes her narrative with a cover alongside two women she reveres in their artistry, even allowing one of them to have the last note on the record. 
 
Her recent release seems to continue this pattern with the heartwarming, irreverent ballad Sweet Carolina. The track is a reassurance to her sister, a promise of constancy as she emerges into the commitment of motherhood. 
 
Whether intentional or not, I really found this trend interesting. You could make similar arguments for Paradise and Honeymoon touching on this as well, but I felt the other records encompassed femininity a bit more directly. Let me know what you think!

Anyway, I’m off to my 10-hour sleep 

Bestie I am literally not joking

Yes she said she's combining the covers album and the country album
She also hinted at covering a Henry Nielsen song

why did that feel a little bit awkward 

I love that she's feeling confident enough to perform on American TV again, I also love that she's actually promoting her work... but out of all the 'BB' tracks... 'Arcadia'. 
 
Imagine the power of a live performance of 'Thunder'. 

One of the guys in the music video was hot

that was a serve
 
still wish it was literally any other song tho LOOL
i love arcadia with all my heart, but we’ve gotten plenty of arcadia content - and it’s a little slow for a tv performance 

no brass sounds so odd... and inferior
 
anyway LMLYLAW >>>>>>>>>

i knowwww he did not just say lana like that...

am I trippin or is she using her Lizzy voice 

Someone corrected him during break. props to the gay intern

OMG
 

when we get a commercial for lanaboards

who tf is leasing a car for like $650 a month wtfffff

i knowwww he did not just say lana like that...

i knowwww he did not just say lana like that...

American cable TV in a nutshell

i knowwww he did not just say lana like that...

Oh wow I hadn't seen Andie MacDowell in a hot minute, she aged beautifully. Oh wow oh wow. 

i forgot how many fucking commercials occur on live tv

Watching a McDonalds ad with Fine China playing in my iTunes...that was an experience 

Stunned that I am still awake and watching this. TGIF 

I'd honestly be okay with a prerecorded thing. I downloaded and listen to the LMLYLAW Jimmy Fallon performance all the time. Calling it a "live performance" is a huge reach on their part but it was nice getting a different mix/vocal take/music vid of a song at least. Still would love to see a high quality recording of any live performance from her some time tho lmao

I hope lana makes peace with live interviews on the next era
