She was right about Taylor. She's mid and a capitalist pick me. Her music isn't all bad imo but I do agree with Courtney that Taylor is overhyped. Idk why people are picking that apart, aside from the comment of Lana, but then again it's classic swiftie fashion. 
 
Then everything else from Madonna to Lana sounds like mindless babble that I really take with a pinch of salt in all fairness. I don't follow Courtney so I don't know let alone care about her character type. I just don't think it's that serious and she's just being dumb or attention seeking.

I support her statement against Taylor being uninteresting and stale. But I absolutely disagree with the one about Lana. 

The fact that little cover was the last straw for her is so fucking funny 

I really appreciate how even though people are hating on Courtney in this thread they’re still acknowledging her talent. She’s a terrible person but it’s so aggravating to see people say she killed Kurt or Kurt wrote live through this etc. We can criticize her without diminishing her achievements. I do think it’s funny she would end a 10+ year friendship over one cover though.

Real friends would support each other even if they made something they aren’t personally a fan of. Not liking a random cover is weird thing to end a friendship over. Idk a ton about Courtney though

Courtney used to be cool. I like Hole. I think Celebrity Skin is a brilliant album.
But not anymore. Not after TODAY.

I mean imagine saying that ^ about your friend. That is just plain mean.
Lana once lent Courtney her entire house so she could recover from whatever the fuck addiction she had at that particular time.
Fuck HER
ETA: also she's just really, really wrong. Even if the Country Roads cover was the worst cover that ever covered, it doesn't negate the artist's entire body of work. She of all people should realise this.
ETA2: also saying Taylor "isn't important" is actual brain rot. Even if you despise her and her music, she absolutely IS important, she literally contributes to a country's actual economy when she tours. Important =/= having to like her music or like her.

I wonder if she's gonna cancel next week or if she's gonna get her shit together

i tried to update my masterpost this morning with the new material, i think it covers everything https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ep8wuywu0QodoTTyQte--onJphgfCy7pnG1wTrKekVk/edit?usp=sharing

For those who cba to watch the set, this article captures those difficult moments. Her new stuff is good - what in the Sky Ferreira is going on with her! 

The LTLI erasure gave me a stroke, hopefully she performs it next week with FJM

not lanas performance- about blurs!
 
yes the crowd was shit and I can't believe they didnt know ANYTHING but he was making it so much worse for them by continuously asking the crowd to sing when they clearly didnt know anything oh god that is a tough watch 

Some of these nasty reviews are making me so sad. To me, Lana is a star akin to older generations—when musicians didn’t spend months training, both physically and vocally, for a show or tour, but showed up as they were, just to sing, without all of the fanfare. I absolutely appreciate spectacles like the Eras tour and Beychella, etc., those are masterful feats of artistry and intense preparation, but I just don’t feel like that’s what Lana’s after. Obviously I don’t know her personally, but to me, she’s more of a songwriter and poet who probably prefers a normal, delicate, relaxed existence (exemplified by her appearing at random garden stores and coffee shops along the California coast). I think she probably still battles stage fright, and I’m really amazed and proud that she signed up to do these two shows. After writing music so different from—and changing the sound of—the industry over the past 10 years+, it’s really cool to see her finally get her flowers as the headliner and do it in her own way. Maybe a massive arena-style stage isn’t the kindest venue for her talents and unique energy, but she did it in her own way, with heart and absolute style. I’m proud to be a fan and it’s not surprising to see these reviews (ahem, Guardian) revert to their 2014 tone. 

I completely agree. lanas voice is especially unique and there is nobody you can actually compare her too!

i honestly think every lana stan should experience btd live

It was a great show but let's be honest - her vocal delivery was very hit-and-miss. Great having West Coast back but then it was just a shortened version with 50% being backing vox. That was a major disappointment, especially remembering how magic her performances of this song used to be.
 
Not sure why we need HIADT, Without You and Bartender at a festival setlist when songs like HBTB, NFR or Thunder are options.

Glasto outfit was in fact beautiful and much better imo.. and would’ve probably matched the theme of the stage more. She ofc wouldn’t have been able to get on the pole though
 
the whole comments about her aging backwards and her styling being so much better are a bit sad, because it literally is just about the weight loss and people may not even realise it. Yeah she looked incredible last night.. but she also looked incredible last year 

No it’s been there for a while!
 
i feel like all her albums are essentially lol

LTLI and BR I honestly don't think I could handle it. the 2 best songs of 2023 and 2022 

2010

 
2024

 
somethings never change  

The LTLI erasure gave me a stroke, hopefully she performs it next week with FJM

If FJM had been there, it would have elevated the whole thing massively. A more upbeat song, a duet, and third solid guest.  Having two guests was lackluster. 
 
Hope he makes it next week. 

Cut the Kehlani song and come out to the trio next week
 
no free promo for weirdos!
