I’m very glad Lana didn’t go to the MET (and I hope she doesn’t attend next year either). 
 
I mean not out of negativity but I really hope this whole “disconnect and live a normal life because I’m tired of culture” deal is truly authentic (and I think it is). I wouldn’t really blame her about changing her mind (because we all do) but it would mean some sort of step back from the mindset she is in right now. 
 
Also not to put another artist on the spotlight but look at Lorde. She went full out about being ill of celebrity status, playing the martyr advocate of the planet, being disconnected and what not… and she shows up at the MET as “Jesus”, shows up half naked and with expensive ass dresses on Vogue… etcetc
 
i know artists need a platform to
get their message across but you preach with actions. That said…. i am glad Lana is out of this whole toxic internet environment and I hope for her best and whatever keeps her happy even if that meant no more music from her (I doubt that but hey..)

Imagine how destroyed we’ll be when she dies? If Lana ever reads this stuff… just hope she knows we love her from human being to human being. If the celebrity or public figure disappears just know we love you Elizabeth. We’ll be forever grateful for expressing your love, sadness and happiness and everything in between. We really have connected to you on the deepest and most emotional level and we don’t even know each other in person but we would all give you a very warm hug. 

dammit I missed Sunset. Heard Smoke tho, release it caroline please. She's the cutest  
When she skipped along the stage and held the mic into the crowd for "show me the banana" ugh I love her.

Exactly, Lana had built all of us and we’re truly a community. Feel free to hit any of us up  I am sure many of us share the same tenderness as Lana and through her we unite  hugs!

the world or at least a lot of social media let a real great woman go. woke up to it sayin "this page's not available" n teared up, (actually I cried i'm cryin rn but it's ok) it's not the same as having ur irl or even online friends but damn. this woman taught n reinforced me that it was ok to be soft in a real harsh world. she was/is a rare safe space n place. maybe they'll realize better. 

This is NOT the answer 

I’m fairly certain this has been her plan all along.  Remember during COCC she talked about knowing where she needed to go as an artist, but that it was going to be very hard to do?  That, along with the line “not from the land of the palms so I know I can’t stay here / I’m not native,” leads me to believe that she’s going to leave LA and commit to a quiet simple life somewhere in the middle of North America and just focus on her art.  I’m sure Joan Baez has been a real mentor to her during this process.

THIS. I strongly believe that childhood isn't the only crucial stage to development. Whatever you're interested in between ages 12-14 is also HIGHLY important to who you become as an adult. So for me, at that age as I was dealing with a troublesome home-life and coming to terms with my sexuality and also dealing with my first breakup...all I had was Lana. 
And sure, maybe it's not fair of us to ask that of her. To be the crutch when we're in too much pain to walk. But this shit hurts man. It's worrying. The possibility of not having that connection between her and the fan base. 
Idk just my thoughts.

Listening to Arcadia… and thinking.. how much I love her. She is our angel, our flawed angel! they really did mistook her kindness… even in words and how she sings certain lines I see how sweet she is, how humble… I hope she takes a good care of herself !!! If this decision is good for her mental stability then, automatically, it’s good for us too… 

I will speak for myself on this but..
 
Lana's presence and art has literally saved my life. I cant even begin to explain to you the pain and darkness i've gone through and how having her music and seeing her made it so much more bearable. I know it seems silly, but for people who don't have a lot emotionally, she is the thing we look forward to to keep us going. The extremely sudden absence leaves an empty spot for me. It was the one thing i had to feel connected to her. It may be different for you, but please at least understand and allow people to react the way they need to. This forum is pretty much the only thing we have to be able to connect with each other about someone we all love so deeply.

Ya’ll I’m way too TURNT rn to process these goodbye messages. Praying I’ll wake up tomorrow and this won’t be real. Idk what’s happening but we love you Lana, we want what’s best for you. If this is what you want then the girlies will support you. I know you read this shit so all I can say is we will be with you whether or not your presence is on the socials, but don’t push us out either. We will always be with you and will respect your desires for privacy and transparency. Come to us when you’re ready. Love you baby. 

I'm so happy that she's doing what SHE wants and I hope she finds peace.
Lizzy will be back.

1. Idk if she’ll release another one and if she doesn’t release 2. Then I am not interested and can wait until the 22nd
 
2. The next one in the tracklist.. I guess Bikini idk what? Tbh I am not paying much attention to “what the next bop is” or how unexpected is the next thing etc… This said the narrative of this album is making this album truly feel like her best. If we take into account what she has said, the things she’s done, and the way she is digging deep within the themes and relating her family/friendships/relationships and using it as a metaphor of her relationship with America, we’re (or at least I am) in for her absolute best album.
 
idek how this woman’s doing it (I guess that’s what you TRULY call personal growth) but having the first 3 songs tell a story and then jump into wildflower wildfire really makes me VERY curious to fill in the gaps that are going to reveal the entire chronology makes the next song after the first tree (not including the interlude) the most sense as a single. 
 
I am AMAZED at how classily she has addressed QFTC so far with this music. 
 
EDIT: Also as a rookie fan, I am IN AWE with Lana’s ability to not dull out. I am one of those who really appreciates COCC from the first moment it l-worded and really set pace for this coming music. I believe Lana does and puts thought into further than what most of this fanbase says she does. After all we’re talking here about someone who studied some philosophy and metaphysics, and who is in constant search for answers and clarity. Our truly misunderstood genius. 

i think it's a lana thing. as some have said before, if arcadia was a billie eilish/lady gaga/taylor swift song, it would definitely be #1 and probably win soty. 
 
not sure if it's entirely her fault though (for doing little to no promo, qftc, etc). the industry hates her and it's mutual. i feel like this album is her way of not only saying, but showing how little she cares about charts and awards. 

I've honestly never understood the genuine hatred for Nikki. Like sure, BUS isn't my favorite Lana song ever by a long shot, but it wouldn't be even if it was a solo Lana song. And I don't think it's fair to act like Lana never had an interest in country before she met Nikki (have you heard how she pronounces certain words in some of her acoustic demos? Looking @ you Elvis). Nikki seems nice enough and if Lana enjoys her company, that's all that matters to me. I think some people on here are just very anti-country, so they don't like Nikki.
