    I’m sorry but in what world would a picture with semen on your face be a scandal😭 Like popbase would tweet about and it and some twinks would say mother, it feels like such a dated representation of fame

    The switchings already... But I thought it will free fall on Spotify because she released a "different" version of the song?

    This has probably all been said before but i was randomly rewatching the candy necklace music video and in the final scene it all clicked into place for me, that the point of the video Is the irony of not getting the thing you want most and have worked so hard for during life and only receiving it after death. The women from which Lana takes inspiration from for the video desperately wanted something during life (validation/fame/acclaim) but only received it after their tragic untimely deaths. 
    The Black Dahlia was a budding actress who wanted to be a star and in a cruel twist only received fame after her violent murder, while Marilyn Monroe wanted to elevate her image, to be taken more seriously as an actress and now after death is revered as a Hollywood legend. Its about the irony of not getting the thing you want during life but receiving such recognition posthumously. Towards the end of the video it all builds up to this moment where there’s a bloody body in a trunk in the back of the car (presumably Lana’s), before it cuts to a shot of Lana getting her star on the Hollywood walk of fame while people cheer. I never understood this last shot and how it relates to the rest of the video but I think this ties in to the many times Lana has said over her career that she wants to be appreciated and respected first and foremost as a songwriter, and to find a community of like minded musicians. She felt harshly and unfairly criticised by critics and rejected by the music industry at large in the aftermath of her debut and SNL performance. The toxicity and scrutiny of the debate around Lana Del Rey and her image/persona has lasted for over a decade, impacted the way people perceived the music and clearly took a toll on her mental health. She has also made comments (although I cant find them now) about how she felt rejected by New York and that she would only be appreciated there after her death. This makes me think that the ultimate point of the video is a commentary on how Lana believes that after her death she will be appreciated by the public and her work to finally be recognised how she wanted it to be received. I also think the necklaces in the video represent metaphorical shackles on the confinements of fame or the box in which she was placed by the media/music industry over the years, as well as the mental burden that goes along with the controversy/discourse which unfolded around her - all of which she is finally freed from upon death.
