She's gonna send us pre order links through the ether 

Yea but this makes me think that it'll just be surprise drops. Nothing more. No lead up. Which is fine but like. It's not as much of an experience 

Jesus. I just watched her Instagram video and my heart sank. I'm still processing it, just like we all are. I do agree with many of you that it is strange that she is doing this as her new album is being rolled out.  It reminds me of an interview she did many years ago, where she was talking about her past and how she spent a lot of time volunteering and doing work to help others. I wonder if she's getting back to doing that. I also remember interview a long time ago that mentioned she was looking at possibly writing a musical or something for Broadway? I could be wrong, ultimately I just hope she's okay and that nothing tragic happened to trigger all of this. When I think back on different things she said over the years, I remember when Ultraviolence was being rolled out and she said made a statement in an interview, along the lines about how she didn't want anyone to hear it. I really do believe she struggles with Fame and all that comes with it, and now that her sister's baby has been born, maybe she's realizing that she wants to dedicate her life to other things right now. Sorry for rambling, my head is spinning right now, I just really truly hope she's okay. I was paying attention to her tone and her blinking and she definitely seemed sad in that video. Still, I'm looking forward to the new record just like everyone else is ❤

"Signing off" i want to cry. i have so much respect for Lana she is really out here just doing it for the art. She is the 1% in that way

Tbh, I agree tho. There’s was something off-putting, the way she smiled, also something in her eyes, idk. Made me think there’s something more to it but ig we’ll never know 

That definitely caught my attention too, it could be nothing but the way she made it a point to mention that seemed weird 
 
we really can’t have one normal era huh, this was going so smoothly too  

I think it’s interesting to note how she made a point to say that Blue Banisters is a “compilation of older songs and a few newer songs” - while that is true, as we know, the fact that she framed it like that within the context of the video seems important. I guess we’ll see why soon. 

Why do I have a feeling that this album is going to emotionally destroy us? When she talked about bringing old collaborators, friends and family to write this album...putting old and new songs on it. It's like with this album she's curated everything that defines her. It feels like a farewell and an epilogue to this 10-year chapter. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. I'm heartbroken but on the other hand I think she'll feel liberated. Social media can be insufferable and one's mental health should be their top priority. On the other hand, @Arcadia is right. It feels like she's forcing herself to smile. I really hope nothing bad has happened and this is just us overreacting but this video is slightly unsettling.
 
And I can't believe Blue Banisters & Arcadia are playing on Spotify as I'm writing this...

I definitely think there's more to it than her just needing to refresh from social media. Most people don't make a video about deactivating - they just do it. Also what she said about keeping her circle small seems strange to me, like something happened that made her take this action. She seemed sad too, like a genuine sadness of sorts. I'm not trying to make a conspiracy out of it because quite frankly I find it in poor taste, but there's more going on behind the scenes that we may not be aware of

I thought the same thing today and was just laughing at how wild some of those meetings must be. 

I’m so heartbroken  

ya i wanna throw up lowkey

On the flip side, if she HAS switched labels, maybe her previous Interscope contract forced her to maintain some kind of social media presence, and now that she's essentially about to fulfill her contractual obligations (announced new album, potentially last album under current label) she can do what she's wanted to do for a while, and deactivate. 

lana, if you're reading this, you are the queen of alternative, don't let ANYBODY tell you what to do

She doesn't want to be forgotten, she just wants to disappear  I actually feel sick... hope she doesn't deactivate her honeymoon account too

This seems realistic to me. 
 
If she signs with Capitol then I feel like she'll take her Elizabeth/Lizzy name back (hence why she's getting rid of her Lana Del Rey associated accounts)

I'm really sad she's leaving social media but I do agree its probably what's best for her, to have a break from all that.
 
I am curious about how we're gonna know about future releases now though haha like will it be posted on Ben and Ed's Instagrams or maybe they will send emails? I'm a little worried but I guess we'll find out next month when Blue Banisters gets released
