Yeah that was also me. Like, we can even combine the two conspiracy theories and say that she wanted to cancel the shows because of her break up with Jack and then decided not to.
 
Or as MoreCruelThanYou said, maybe she's still cancelling but hasn't said which ones. IIRC that one in Poland is not on her site and she hasn't said a word about it.
 
I just suspect that the reason for the delay might be personal because she hasn't said a word. If it was something really innocent and simple, like a production delay, then I don't see why you wouldn't just say that. She is avoiding talking about this album's release for whatever reason. As I said, there's no way she didn't know about Google's March 29, and to just let that pass without saying anything is plain odd.
 
Oh, and she is making a point of posting pics of her and her friends, which is exactly what women do when they break up with someone.
 
If anyone needs someone to make stuff up and twist shit to suit an agenda, call me.

Maybe they have an on/off thing

I'm so glad it isn't just me; at least we have something juicy to discuss for the next 10 pages.

Well that video could've been from earlier. And we don't know when they broke up. She seemed to lose interest in NFR right after HIADTFAWLMTH - BIHI, which was around then. Or maybe that was their attempt to be "friends" but it was too difficult or who the fuck knows, really.
 
And Lana Del Liar will totally date more musicians, without a doubt.

weeeeeell ch*se did run off to fuckin bali

Honestly I thought maybe Jack and Lana had a ~thing~ too...

... OK this is pretty far-fetched but I've been dying to type it.
 
What if ... Lana and Jack had a thing ... and they broke up? It would explain the dead silence from both of them, her managers' contradicting each other/Lana, and the delay.
 
And when I say it would explain the delay, I mean - if they are no longer on good terms - they might want some time before it drops .. or they might even have been told to fix/add something, and they need time before they feel comfortable working together again, etc. 
 
I also immediately thought of him when she wrote that poem about "Joe" and his "brown eyes".
 
It'd explain why she seemed so enthused about this album and then just went silent. I mean she probably is with that other actor guy now but it doesn't mean she wasn't with Jack.

What lives?

She wants to hope it's fucking good, then, because if it isn't she will look even sillier than she does with her vape.
 
"Couldn't stop the way I was feelin' the day my record dropped ... AND IT WASN'T EVEN THAT GOOD!"

Yeah what I meant was her songs likely evolve when she's working with someone else. Like I'm not doubting that she writes the lyrics, but she likely changes those lyrics up sometimes suit chords, etc ... there's some outside influence there.
 
Whereas the poems seem very raw and drafty.

You know, I fully expect her to only print like 200 copies of this and give them to some obscure little bookshops that nobody lives near. She might not even tell us which one/s. That would be so her. Imagine the fandom meltdown ...

This would be the most awful decision ever, and she's made some pretty awful ones ... dating G Eazy, for example.

Legit. I mean, it's not a coincidence that she starts hanging out with the Mean Girls and subsequently announces that she's going to be an Instagram baddie. Nobody can argue that they're not influencing her. We all understand that it's her life to live how she wishes, but as a fan of her work you can't help but think about the impact it's having/going to have.
 
This is why I posted elsewhere that I'd like her to GTFO of LA for awhile. I think the fame/LA bullshit has gotten to her and it's affecting her professionalism and her work.
 
I honestly think if she keeps going in this direction it'll be "Lana who?" in a few years. Maybe that's what she wants, though.

OK because I'm a fkn maniac I've been pondering this, and I wonder if anyone else has pondered the same:
 
Has anyone else ever noticed that Lana's friends and family refrain from addressing her using an actual name (be it Lana/Lizzy/Elizabeth)? It's not really of any consequence but it's no secret what her stage and real names are so I find it interesting.
 
I only ever skimmed her dad's Twitter because it wasn't very interesting/I felt like a creepy stalker, but I did notice that he constantly calls Chuck, "Chuck" ... but when he talks about Lana he omits a name altogether. He does use "Lana Del Rey" when talking about her work but when actually talking about her he never uses a name. From what I noticed on Chuck's IG, it's the same.
 
I noticed it's the same with her friends; in the bunny video from yesterday the person videoing says, "Sarah?" and "Jennie?" but to Lana she says, "and how about you?".
 
I wonder if Lana has asked her family and friends to either not refer to her by any name, or to not refer to her by a specific name (eg: maybe she told her family not to call her "Lizzy" on social media and they feel odd calling her "Lana" so they just don't put a name).
 
I remember she said in an interview recently that most of her friends call her "Lana" now, which I found somewhat odd. Like if my real name was Lizzy and my actual, real life friends called me by my stage name I think I'd find that a bit disconcerting ... but I'm not her, so I'll never know.
 
(Also, maybe Lana is withholding NFR so she can laugh at us all getting crazier and crazier in the absence of music).

There's nothing wrong with having some fun - like, I don't have a problem with her injecting pop culture references or even humour into her work - but the way she's done that recently has seemed poorly thought out and lazy. Like, there was just no need to put the word "Tesla" in that poem at all, for example. I found that it really distracted me from everything else she was trying to say. To me, that's the "Tesla" poem and I can hardly remember anything else about it.
 
She's almost in her mid 30s now. She's not old, but she's not super young, either. She should just focus on being herself. It reminds me of when Madonna tried to do this shit 10 years ago or something. She did some semi-rap song about doing yoga and pilates and drinking lattes 'n' shit, and it was embarrassing.
 
Artists produce the best work when they are themselves. She spends too much time trying to be someone else. And I am not talking about the LDR persona; because LDR had cohesion. Whoever she is trying to be now does not.
 
This Instagram baddie business is awful; when I read that tweet I REALLY hoped she was joking. It's not even about her friends - she can be friends with whoever - but I SERIOUSLY hope she stops this Instagram baddie shit soon, because she seems to be taking it way too far and it seems to be affecting her professionalism. You get the sense that even her managers don't even really know WTF she's doing. If she was writing songs for her new album NOW, in this mindset/persona/whatever the fuck this is, I would have very low expectations.
