I'm really proud of her and moved that she recorded these messages, and especially that she chose to say something yesterday.
At the very moment that everyone was melting down over the SOTB leak, with the overall theme of commentary being that Lana had been used, insulted, or victimized in some way by Taylor, Lana showed up to explain in very direct and heartbreaking terms what it actually feels like to have your work taken from you, what the theft of art really feels like for the artist. In her case, a literal violent assault. It kinda puts the issue of her SOTB vocal mix in a different perspective - I doubt she's bothered by that all too much, but I do think she spoke at the time she did for a reason. In a way her statement yesterday actually defends Taylor - defends all artists - and maybe that was a part of it too.
She had the courage to be that vulnerable and real, adding grounding perspective to the moment of mania we were all in.
