I’m sure if she comes to visit Lake Placid she will get a hero’s welcome. My sister is a volunteer at a day camp up in Lake Placid. Not this year though. It’s lovely up there. I actually know the house up there where Lana grew up. Don’t know if I should say anything. lol (her family doesn’t live in that house anymore though)

She never said that. I think she knows how to ice skate though. Good question, got no idea! Well, California is home for her. So I’m not expecting a NY inspired album.

And shouldn’t we be talking about Lana being blonde again and maybe getting back to her Lizzy Grant roots? Maybe connecting with her Lake Placid roots?? People forget she is from a small town that hosted the Winter Olympics twice. I hope she does a concert at the Herb Brooks Arena one day.

Thank you! And you know why I’m passionate about her? Because she is the only person who ever made me feel valid. I have literally struggled with horrible things and Lana is my safe place.

I’m not terrorizing it. A Russian troll is.

You didn’t answer the questions; If Lana is dating Sean again, what are you going to do about it??? Are you going to stop listening to her music? Are you not going to buy her music? Are you not going to go to her concerts? Are you going to no longer be a fan of her music/poetry? How would Lana dating Sean impact your day to day life?

And so what if he did go to one of those rallies? Cops are being demonized as being evil killers when most are good people who never use their gun. And what are you going to do if Lana is dating him again? Are you going to stop listening to her music? Are you not going to buy her music? Are you not going to go to her concerts? Are you going to no longer be a fan of her music/poetry?

Jesus Christ can you guys let it go in regard to whether she is seeing Sean or not??? Also he is not with “Blue Lives Matter”. He wears a hat that says “Support Blue Collar”. Some of your clearly do not know how to read. Do you know what blue collar is? It’s like farm workers, Plummers, small business owners, folks who work in factories etc. Blue Collared workers are common in the Midwest where as coastal cities have white collared workers such as businessmen, stockbrokers etc. However it tends to be the white collared people who look down upon the blue collared workers by assuming they are rednecks who know nothing. Also, what are YOU going to do IF, Lana is dating Sean again? (even though there is no proof) Are you going to stop listening to her music? Are you not going to buy her music? Are you not going to go to her concerts? Are you going to no longer be a fan of her music/poetry? ^^^To those of you who are complaining, please answer these questions.^^^^ She can date who she wants, even if it’s a cop because newsflash, most cops don’t go around killing people. Most cops never use their gun on the job. I know this because I have cops in my family. Most of them have relatively boring days on the job most of the time. Who Lana dates is none of your god damn business. Her politics is none of your god damn business and it’s not her job to be stating her political views. She is a musician and poet, not a politician. If you want politics then watch CSPAN or go follow Donald Trump on Twitter. In Lana’s personal life she is going to date who she wants. She is an ADULT and does not need permission. And again, there is no proof that they are dating. They remained friends and are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend. People have been known to continue to be friends with their exes.

What page? Just curious about charities and ways I can help this cause myself.

Native American charities. Half that state belongs to native Americans according to SCOTUS As a bisexual man, I can confirm this to be true unfortunately. With me I’m not good enough for either side....

Loving this blonde look on her! This is a sign that we are getting a folk record!

That's the thing I wonder if she stopped vaping too. When she cancelled those European dates back in February because she had lost her voice, I just wonder if maybe that could have had something to do with it. But I hope she stopped vaping too, because that isn't good for you either. As I said before, I don't recommend smoking or vaping for anyone who sings. Perhaps. You just wonder what happened the led to it being cancelled at the last minute. Granted singing in a studio is not the same as singing on stage. It's REALLY hard to quit. Its like the hardest bad habit to give up!

Million Dollar Baby I love this movie. It’s so sad though but it’s my favorite Clint Eastwood Film.

I must give credit where it is due; 1. This is Taylor’s best album to date 2. This is one of the ten best albums of 2020 3. Simplicity works for Taylor and it helps showcase her authenticity Congrats to Taylor on a job well done!

Do we know if she is dropping an album this year too?

True! Your appetite goes through the roof when you quit smoking! Happened with me. But now I have even more caffeine! lol

Actually it is BS. All these industry awards are. It’s really all about money. Still there is value in peer recognition. I do think these industry awards have become way too PC now. It’s like when Bruce Springsteen (Born in the USA) lost Album of the Year to Lionel Richie. I think now we all kind of know they messed up that year. Or when Pink Floyd (The Wall) lost Album of the year to Christopher Cross. That was a huge screw up. 2. Let me say this about Best Spoken Word Album next year; Someone was mentioning Hasley... probably not a threat in that race. Lana’s biggest competition for Spoken Word Album in January will be James Taylor for his audiobook. But I think Lana has the edge because it’s so different. This years winner for Spoken Word Album was Michelle Obama.

Album of the Year nominees in 2021 will probably include Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, Fiona Apple, The Chicks, Post Malone, Lil Uzi Vert, Lady Gaga and maybe Bob Dylan or Taylor Swift. I actually think Fiona Apple is going to win it.

No, Lana would not ass kiss. See, Billie Eilish didn’t ass kiss though, but her team did. Her parents connections didn’t hurt either. Billie did go on a ton of TV talk shows when the nominations were out. As we know Lana does not go in TV. There are a lot of things that I think Lana just isn’t willing to do. She is not a Hollywood insider who likes mingling with big shots. Having said this, Lana does have one secret weapon; Jack Antanoff. In this case if he were to go around to all these industry events, mingle and simply talk about his work with Lana then she is in business. Also, the engineers and mixers who work on Lana’s music need to show up at events too. At AES last year (which I attended) I didn’t see Jack or any of Lana’s engineers/mixers. At AES, all the audio professionals gather and many of them are voting members of the Recording Academy. The key is to be making waves within The Producers and Engineers Wing of the academy. Now Billie’s team didn’t have to do any of that because of all the money she made. But I do believe that in the future that even if Lana doesn’t make the most money, if those who work with her in the recording process go to the AES Convention, Recording Academy events (in particular those run by the Producers and Engineers wing) then Lana will have a real advantage. The biggest voting block in the academy is not the musicians. It’s the producers engineers and mixers. See they all loved Billie’s album because it was recorded in a bedroom with only one expensive plug-in that Finneas used. But there is a way forward. Make no mistake about it.

Give it another few weeks and we will probably have more info, thats if the album is still coming September 5. I still think it will drop on that date though, so I wouldn't worry too much about potential delays.

Btw, Dua just got nominated for the Mercury Prize too. She has a lot going on at once!

Regardless of her process of releasing those songs, NFR still ended up becoming the best album of the last decade.

Attitudes within the industry are changing on that front. Tonight Taylor Swift is releasing a surprise album that no one knew was coming. Traditionally you release a single or two before the album drops. But that’s changing. Lana knows that her fans are loyal, so she knows her fans will jump on it once it’s out even if there are no songs released prior.

Not to speculate, but vaping can certainly affect one’s singing voice. I wonder if the vaping affected her voice and then maybe she quit vaping after seeing it’s not good for her voice. Vocal coaches left and right are telling these kids who sing not to vape. They always have to say it now because so many kids now vape.

Totally!
