‘So I decided to do nothing, about everything’

My thoughts exactly 

All she said about the surprise release was "I feel like it probably will be a surprise release sometime within the next 12 or 13 months."  Not exactly a commitment for a full surprise. I don't think announcing the date or sharing one snippet changes the fact that she wants the music and the release to be quiet and relatively surprising. I still think we're getting it early September.

I still truly think the album is coming the 4th/5th or at least in September. She put it in writing at the end of her question for the culture post, which everyone read, not just fans. And putting it in writing in such an important post makes it seem more definite. (Also, I kinda think she meant the 4th and forgot that August has 31 days, but that’s just me)

For Norman, everything was available on release (and sometimes way before lol).
for LFL, vinyls weren’t ready on release. Don’t know about the cassettes. The CD were ready too on release day (this is how we got our HQ leaks that time around: a store sold them two or three days before schedule). 

Maybe what Lana meant with a surprise release is that before the 5th there will be no cover or tracklist reveal, no snippets, no promo, no singles, etc. so that the music itself will be a surprise. That would fit with her going low key this time. Of course that makes now no sense with the TJF snippet  

it’s super hard to know what strategy is best for her because we aren’t present behind closed doors. And anyone who would reread my numerous posts qu’ils think that I contradict myself more often than not because I honestly don’t know what is Interscope’s “endgame” with her anymore. She doesn’t care for a number 1 album at all, but I wonder if they still do, which was something they always wanted, based on their official promo statements (“She reached number last year with LFL”, “the number one album UV”, etc.). Even with Norman, they had their hopes up I guess and it didn’t happen at all. She’s doing well over streaming Over time, she got critical acclaim with Norman... I don’t know if they “changed their strategy” with her or not. 

What about all the people on Instagram who saw THE video?

Well by the sounds of it most of you will be surprised if it actually comes out on the 5th. Also strangely you don’t know if it’s a low-key release or not yet as it’s not out.

Did she not mention a surprise release and a low-key release many times?
