More than 5,000 people have been wiped out off the face of the planet. I'm sorry, but signing a letter in support of the man who is openly on the side of the aggressor and thanking him is not a "small" mistake. She should have signed the other letter where Blanchett's name was. I love her, but she failed. Miserably.

I'm with you on this. We can discuss the letter... but not the reason behind the exact same letter? Weird. Since I have no intention of going to another thread and starting the convo, I will tap out

Like most of her posts where she addresses any "issue", it's completely lame and unnecessary. If she wanted to disperse those doubts, she should have done it 10 years ago when the rumours started. Not now when she's already proven herself and no one really cares if daddy paid for promo at the start. It smells of Grammy campaigning, as does this kissing of Biden's wrinkly old misguided ass. What's more concerning is that she wants one. It is such an irrelevant award. About as exclusive and elite as a train station toilet brush.

Agree on all accounts. I': also like to add that Israel's spending a lot of money on spinning the story. I keep receiving emails from different organisations - even theatre - stating that Israel is in a crisis. And this is even outside the US. I can only imagine the level of bs over there.

if you'd read my post carefully, you would have realized that i'm writing in my second language. So, no, i'm not justifying anything - the phrasing was wrong, that's all. your tone is awful btw. I'd take a look at that if i were you

100% agree. The UN has announced that the death toll has reached 5,000. This is beyond belief that the world leaders have allowed this to happen, and are continuing to turn a blind eye. And don't get me started on people losing jobs, the social media algorithms reducing the visibility on pro-Palestine posts, or the Israelis messaging influencers offering them money to support the western narrative. It's crazy af. Honestly, if this has taught us anything, it's that there's a lot of power in social media, and it's become the go-to source for free speech and getting educated on a topic somewhat, and being able to offer support. It's ironic, however, that this support isn't moving anything. All those phones, all those voices, and the death toll keeps rising. The whole situation is absolutely shocking, revolting, and proves yet again what an unjust and disorderly world we live in. It's vomit-inducing.

I have so much respect for some of these celebrities. It takes balls to speak out against Israel in an industry with so many Jews. I can imagine the number of roles diminishing after this. Even Alyssa Milano - when was the last time she got any major roles? Well done.

It was their land originally. It was bad enough they lost half of it when the Brits split the state in half and gave the other half to Israel. the Palestinians should never and will never denounce their land. It's their heritage, their culture, their home. it's despicable that the world is allowing them to lose it for as long as it has.

nah. She should read a book or stay out of it completely. People have been cancelled over less.

Thank you! I was a bit unclear about that point, and I'm glad you corrected me. Can you please give more context? What are Biden's political interests in the Middle East?

you should absolutely drag her for it. If she signed a petition defending the Nazis against the Jews, she deserves to be dragged for it. Unfortunately, this is a similar scenario. It's a very black and white situation at this point in time. not saying Palestine is all innocent, no. But the mass extermination of Palestinians right now is basically Nazism all over.

I know. But this time she has voiced her support for Israel. Check her Insta. It's got videos of Israeli children with signs like "Free Israel". Free Israel from what? The Palestinian children who are being held hostage by Israeli terrorists in their own fucking homes on the land where their parents and grandparents used to live? It's pandering to the dumbest of Americans, who will surely lap it up. I've unfollowed Natalie (I couldn't live with myself if I hadn't). And I will unfollow Lana if she says one thing that's pro Israel.

In a nutshell, Palestinian group Hamas killed a number of innocent Israelis at a concert (about 250 Israelis). They did it because over the years, Israelis, who never had their own country before, occupied their land (Palestine) and took full control of it. Today's Israel is essentially Palestinian land taken over by Europe-fled Jews and Zionists by sheer force. All of this is available in history books, on YouTube, official UN documents, etc. To retaliate against the massacre, Israel decided to commit a genocide in the remaining Palestinian land (Gaza) and they've already bombed and slaughtered thousands, mostly women, children, sick people in hospitals, and so forth. They also cut off their electricity, water supplies, etc. leaving thousands of innocent people in the dark as they're getting bombed. Israel's aim is to expel Palestinians into the Sanai desert or into Egypt (another country that Israelis do not own but have said that Egypt has to "play ball"), so they can remove them from their own territory forever and finish their occupation, i.e. extermination. Biden and America are supporting the genocide - openly with visits to Israel, moral and financial support. They've previously funded Israel's attacks on Palestine and supported them with weapon supplies. Because it's in the interest of American Jews, of course. Now, most sane and educated celebrities like Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Roony Mara and many others have openly come out in support of Palestine, demanding ceasefire (for the genocide to stop). Countries like Russia, Ireland, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, among others, are defending the Palestinians and some want to cut their diplomatic ties with Israel. The world of social media on a global level and protesters everywhere are asking for the same thing. Especially since there are thousands of videos and images of these mass graves in Palestine, confirming the genocide. (To spare you from seeing all this footage - think bodies of babies after explosions, mothers sreaming, doctors discovering their own family members' dead bodies at the hospital, thousands of houses turning into ash, families being wiped out, ice-cream trucks being used for body storage, reporters being killed, and so on.) On the other hand, you have Natalie Portman, Gal Gadot, Amy Schumer, Quentin Tarantino and other Jewish celebrities or Jewish aficionados, asking for the "war" to continue because the Palestinians mean nothing to them and, as the Israelis say, they're "just animals". They're advocating for the whole nation to be wiped out in plane sight. Of course, they're using the concert massacre as an excuse and spinning the story their way via the western media. But it's tough because we live in an era of social. So, it seems that Lana has - once again - shot herself in the foot, not really informing herself and educating herself enough on a topic before putting her finger in it This just proves how dizzy she is at times and that her managers and publicist let her get away with anything - as long as they get paid. I feel sorry for her, in a way, because she doesn't seem to be that smart about her career and, if she keeps this up, she will surely get cancelled one day. Lastly, before anyone who's Jewish or is misinformed comes after me, you should know that I'm a Serbian Christian Orthodox guy with no ties to Palestine, Israel or the US. What I wrote her is just pure, unbiased facts. If anyone wants to challenge me on this, let's discuss in a civilised way. But I hope you have access to Reuters and other fact-based websites. Hope this helps.

another piano ballad? Hard pass

100%| that track is probably the single most underrated track of her career. it is stunning. But never gets mentioned anywhere 😩 i wish she still made songs like that. Just very positive ones another gravely underrated track. If it was me deciding, i would have made it the first single and cashed out 10 million for a ride follow up with porches and horses in the mid west

did she submit the ice spice version? well, that girl is eerywhere recently, there's a lot of money behind her. so of course taylor will pander to the popularity contest of it all

karma is just more catchy and succesful. I wouldnt read into it

Hey, y'all, Time to highlight some of the less appreciated moments on Lana's records. I'm just re-listening to Blue Banisters (a rare moment for me as I think it's her worst record). But Mike Dean's work with Wildflower beats is something else. Can we have a full album with just her and this style of beats, please? What are some of the moments you appreciate that aren't really talked about much?

I'm kinda thinking a duet with Adele would be be incredible. They're kind of like two sides of the same coin. With a good producer, I think this might be song of the year kinda stuff. Any takers?

yeah wfh, how come snow on the beach wasn't submitted? Maybe it goes through taylor's team as she's the main artist??? It'd better be in the mix since it would have a higher chance than jon batiste collabs. It also reached 4 on billboard, and broke a streaming record for a collab. oh shit, yeah 😂 good catch

he's so boring to me. And since i'm a gay man, he really shouldnt be. He aint winning against lana no way

I love these banners! 😍 interscope is spending money and it's looking great. honestly, guys, with strong record sales, strong streaming numbers, tons of high profile press, the taylor support, the highest charting song on billboard ever, the billy support, the tour's success, the artist of the decade award, the VMA for CN, the surprise huge success of say yes to heaven, the strong reviews for ob, the correct category submission, the weak competition in alt, and the overdue factor - THIS IS LANA GRAMMY YEAR. There would be an outrage if she doesn't win, and the awards would lose all their credibility (which has long been shaken anyway). Especially since there's no controversy recently and everyone's firmly on Lana's side (more then ever). The stars are aligned! She's winning at least one Grammy, and my money is on Alt album of the year. That said, i can imagine there being a surprise win with aw or ob; too, or best duet (CN). I hope she goes with a great dress (not from the mall) and slays the fuck out of this award ceremony

me too. We can start celebrating literally. No way are boygenius or mitsky winning this when she's outstreaming and outselling them by a huge margin. Thank god she's submitted in alt. I have some hopes for ocean boulevard the song to get a nod. They nominater nfr (the song) and this one is just as timeless and classic. less confident about aw and it's slutty aesthetics. Too contravercial for grammy

so do we know what categories lana has officially been submitted in??? missed this news on the forum

sorry but that's super unrealistic. No chance in hell is she winning album of the year over midnights or olivia rodrigo her best shot is alt album
