The host just talked a little bit about her speech, saying she talked about dreams and that the message was about breaking through the glass ceiling x

She makes me feel guilty for skipping gym

These were taken on May 13th in the New Orleans area of Louisiana! I’ve updated the title to reflect this x

happy 4th anniversary to the one of the most controversial letters of 21st century's pop culture - Question For The Culture. gonna write many thoughts about that, read it if you want to and if you don't then don't.
 
i know that it's an unpopular opinion but i think that everything she said in the letter was true and she had every right to defend herself because the criticism she received in her breakthrough years was very harsh and undeserved. what i do think is that she shared the letter with the wrong audience - because no one sadly takes things seriously in social media. people, mostly teenagers and younger adults, misunderstood most of the letter and exaggerated it, especially the first paragraph, taking it as a declaration of war on seven fandoms. but in fact she never shaded or "mocked" those artists she mentioned. like she said, she mentioned those artists as an example because they're her friends and inspirations - and it definitely hadn't to do with racism either, those "racist" and "karen" comments were in my opinion fucking disgusting. people were also very misogynistic towards her, exactly the way like they were during the born to die years, which again proved the point of the letter. i think it's still sad that many people thought that she's inauthentic and a "fabricated" industry plant or that she glamourized sadness and abuse. she had every right to be mad at them.
 
it was definitely very difficult for fans to "defend" her that time because i noticed that many of her fans turned against her, i literally saw a video then of "fan" taking a hammer and breaking her CDs to pieces. i also think that the reaction from her fans was even worse than outside the fandom, which is sad. almost half a decade later, i hope that people have finally understood what she wanted to say with the letter and if they still haven't got the message, then i don't know...it's their problem then.
 
the letter itself was as a shock since it was posted out of blue hence i've got many questions (not in a negative way) surrounding that letter - what was her thinking process while writing this, was it rewritten many times over, where did she get the idea to write that letter - maybe she wanted to post that years before, did she show that to anyone before posting it, did she have second thoughts before posting it, did she ever regret posting that, how did the backlash affect her life and does she ever want to write a letter like that again. definitely the reason she posted it that time was because the critics started finally praising her work, impact and artistry after NFR album was released, when before they liked to nitpick on the themes she wrote about born to die and ultraviolence.
 
if she ever writes a memoir of her life or releases a biographical movie of herself, I'd definitely like to see her dive more into that period of her life - to see how did the idea of writing that started and how did it affect her life after it was posted with all the backlash that she received then.
 
but now we can all proudly say that we survived the culture that was questioned.

When I ran into Lana at the mall in the shoe section last September, she was looking at these boots looool x

New Lana Del Rey Keds just dropped

She looks baked, those are deffo tears of laughter lol

Exactly… u get it xx
 
The humidity & wind was CRAZYYYY her hair looked fine when she first hit the stage, but started to get affected by it as the show continued. My own hair looked absolutely insaneeee by the end of the night lol I’m wearing it half up today x

Just saw the first HQ photo and yeah Etienne  needs to do her makeup all of the time.. Pammy is not giving 

Shake that ass for Drake, now shake that ass for Lana

It’s Megan. Her newest story using the Megan song confirmed it. @Elle

I love Megan, her song Tennessee Orange is very popular in the country community so I’m excited!

First thing that came to my mind was that Zach Bryan invited her to sing with him tonight? But it’s more likely she’s  gonna eat at some chain restaurant and meet fans

SEXYY RED X LANA YESSSSS

Just popping in before I go to sleep for the night to say the show was incredible from an attendee perspective. This was my 19th show of hers, so I really enjoyed all of the surprise guest performances as a nice switch up. You could tell how much fun Lana was having with everyone and was really enjoying herself on stage! Her vocals were absolutely incredible, perhaps some of the best I’ve seen in person from her shows I’ve attended. Looked beautiful. Talked to the crowd more than normal which was so cute. She was so happy to be back in Alabama and it showed.
Also, this performance appealed to the non-stans in the crowd as well. I didn’t try for barricade (I knew I wouldn’t survive it in this Alabama heat & humidity) and got to Lana’s set about 3 hours before she got onstage, so I was quite a few rows back but still had a pretty decent view since I was right by the middle barricade. I was surrounded by some people who weren’t super stans and they really enjoyed the set. I also brought my friend to the show who is just a casual listener (she really only listens to Born to Die & NFR occasionally, mostly bc of my influence lol) and she loved it. It was her first Lana show and right after it ended she said “I didn’t really understand the obsession with Lana until now. Something about seeing her live really makes her music hit different. Watching her was mesmerising. I see it now - Lana is America’s princess.” As soon as we got back to the hotel, she immediately ordered a LDR flag from Amazon and started reading up on her Wikipedia lol.
So, it was a great set especially for a festival crowd even if a few songs had to be cut. However, this has made me realise I am getting way too old for festivals loool it seemed like my friend and I were among the oldest there (apparently this is a festival popular among college kids which we are not) and whew my old knees are not what they used to be looool. Currently feeling so much ache from the knees down and my head is throbbing lmaooo but I’m excited for Chappell Roan tomorrow & Reneé Rapp on Sunday!! Goodnight LanaBoards xx

Peppers live debut would retilt the axis of the world I’m shakingggg wtf
