Why can't she get rid of her backup dancers? She's not Britney. No one expects her to dance. 
Her old performances were pure gold

She used to perform like she was nervous but excited. Then eventually she seemed to get over the stage fright and actually started to enjoy herself (Endless Summer tour she seemed really comfortable and fun on stage). 
 
and somehow that gradually that devolved to her boredly sitting on stage vaping and holding the mic out to the audience for like...entire songs. And reading the lyrics off her phone 
 
she passed comfort and has now achieved “complacency” and girl I am salty about it. 
 
I would not pay to go to a Lana concert post 2018

Using lady Gaga as an example of an artist out of touch with reality is a joke in it of itself, but I’ll keep it cute as arguing with Lana stans over Gaga is a never ending circle jerk that I refuse to participate in.
 
I will agree that Lana definitely has lost touch. I don’t think it’s a matter of her not caring though, I believe it’s just that she’s adapted an attitude of “it is what it is”. I guess you could argue that’s not caring, but I think she’s becoming a person who wants to do a whole bunch of things, but the thought of actually doing them and the effort that needs to be put in or else it’ll be a disappointment (in her eyes or the fans), stops her. We see how many things she’s scrapped over these last few years and blaming the record label can only go so far considering they pretty much let her do whatever she wants. She use to really bite the bullet when she was younger. Perhaps it’s an age thing where she just doesn’t feel the pressure anymore to go above and beyond. Which I get. I think she’s truly just slowly burning out as an artist, but it’s understandable. 
 
or she just doesn’t feel the need to go big anymore which is also ok, but girl has gotta stop promising her fans shit that she knows isn’t gonna come out on time 

I wouldn't mind if she decided to retire or take a long break or vacation. Maybe go to Europe or Asia to breath new air.
Her music became so generic to me that I barely listen to her newers records. Honeymoon was her last masterpiece and I'm really scared that I won't like COCC

i agree with all of this. i think the unfortunate truth is that's just how some people become in the industry after so long, they still make music because they genuinely love to but they grow out of the gimmicks and the passion to be a "true artist" with the visuals and performances. we hardly see any artists with actual album eras anymore, most of them are doing surprise drops now cause they can't be bothered to carry out a full era which i'd much rather see from her cause at the end of the day that's why she's loved, it's the music.

i'd say in the beginning of her career lana had quite a few shock-factor moments but i think she's just tired of being in the spotlight and trying to prove anything, the industry has pretty much chewed her up and spit her out throughout her 10 years, NFR was really the first time that she got universal acclaim you never really saw critics or news outlets genuinely appreciating her whenever she'd put out new work she seemed so passionate about, they always had to bring up some flaw. i think QFTC is something she's always felt and when she finally put it out there in the world it was her saying she really doesn't give a fuck how people perceive her whether she's playing it safe or being truly authentic. this all just feels like a reaction to how she's been treated thus far in her career so i don't blame her for not being as enthusiastic with it anymore cause maybe to her she feels like nobody really cares. 

they were very special, they have a very specific amateur, yet nostalgic and creative vibe that i haven't seen from any other artist or era of lana's career before, every music video has something unique and special about it, every clip she ripped off of youtube, and every outfit she was wearing, they all fit each respective video very nicely and they all have a very creative, nostalgic vibe, my favorite is mermaid motel  

I miss when she seemed to be so invested in her music and her art. She used to be in interviews nervous as hell and be straight up weird, but the second they asked her about actual music, she would perk right up and get so excited. She loved talking about “her records” and what they mean to her and how she made them, etc. 
 
when she performed live, she seemed like she actually cared. She would get sad during the sad songs, smile during the happy ones, etc. Idk how to describe it, other than the fact that she seemed like she really just *felt* it. Same with her music videos, they just felt more personal and like she actually took pride and effort in making them. 
 
now, I think the word I would use to describe her is “aloof.” She could care less these days, that’s the vibe I’m getting. I understand that she’s about to be like a ten year vet in the industry, so ofc shes older and less bright-eyed about everything, but still. It all just feels so impersonal now. 
 
Her interviews are about anything but music, and when she does actually remember she’s a musician and not a politician or a psychologist, she’s like “oh yeah I made the record, it’s okay I guess.” Her live performances, she seems bored. She just kinda sways around and barely sings, fussing about her vape instead of the people paying to hear her perform. Half the time she looks like she’d rather be somewhere else. Music videos (except for Chemtrails I will give her that) look like they were made on an iPhone in her backyard. Because they were. 
 
And I’m not making this about “ugh NFR sucks hahaha” because I’m not even talking about the music itself. I just mean her. She has reason to be more mature and jaded and perhaps tired and “over it.” But if you’re so over it, take a vacation instead of just seeming bored and frustrated. The music is gonna hit regardless bc Shes Lana Del Rey and she is incapable of making bad music. But if she doesnt want to do it anymore, or at least right now, girl take a break. You seem so disinterested in music lol. 
 
Damn i fucking ramble a lot

to be honest i'd 100% take a Dealer leak, or even a UFB leak over an album leak. because the album we're getting in 1 week and a half and Dealer/UFB we're not getting in our lifetime 

another day of pain and waiting  
 
i'm hopeful that white dress will actually come out this week, but if not it's not that long until the 19th anyways. the only thing that's making the wait painful at this point is lana's silence and the utter delusion and anxiety from fans especially those that think the album is delayed... insanity
also if we don't get an album trailer i'll make my own at this point  the chemtrails teaser is so short i'd be sad if it was the trailer

Nothing's safe when it comes to Lana.

Me in the LDR9 - Pre Pre Release Thread on March 20th
