the boy is mine i can’t wait to try him lets get intertwined the stars they aligned the boy is mine

which pop songs? the ones she hasn’t released since 2018? 💀

half a million streams within the first 7/8 hours of streaming is actually pretty damn good

Take notes, Scammys made me laugh a little bit because these people showered Taylor Swift with awards not even the Grammys dared to.

Love the video and the song is such an earworm. Super excited for this era.

i actually love the cover, it’s so late 90s/early 00s DJ musician coded. her Aphex Twin moment with a pop sensibility hence the strident like green. i love it and it would be a nice twist of color in my vinyl collection. also it’s so instantly recognizable and ties into the whole party scene type of advertising in terms of visual language… i can see the vision behind it

wait what i thought that was just the music video i can’t tell if this is a good or a bad review

is she releasing Von Dutch in 2 and a half hours or is it not a midnight GMT release?

she’s going for the Aphex Twin type of album covers and i love it actually lol

You have no clue whether or how much I’m attached to anything so…

lmao right? some of these girls are on the brink of something

Negatively dismissing HIFN as a “minor” or “side” project is so boring. Yawn.

yayo

i gasped

My god. There is a culture of FOMO in the Taylor fandom that she actively and purposefully encourages in her messaging and it's always, always, always packaged in a way that makes the die hard fans think it's not a trick. And for the most part, it's actually tricks that give them something -- like having a secret song unique to each show of a tour. This is great and special for fans at each show, but it also encourages fans to seek out content online for EVERY show to see EVERY new moment - boosting her social media metrics. It also encourages fans-of-means to go to multiple shows and to spend thousands of dollars doing so. Part of what she achieves by all the secret messaging hinting at what's next doubles down on the FOMO culture - you have to stay ever-present in the Taylorsphere to catch them all, and you have to post about it online and discuss it with each other. Yes, it's lovely that it creates a community, but it creates superfandom and tricks people into feeling like they need to purchase every vinyl and every deluxe edition in order to qualify as a superfan. No one else does this. I completely understand how it's fun and exciting for the fans. But call a spade a spade, a capitalist a capitalist, and a woman seeking domination a woman seeking domination. This is absurd.

She’s so obsessed with micromanaging every aspect of her public perception that I genuinely expected her to change her ways.

This is outrageous. Tailor Swift can’t even bring herself to control her flights even after being exposed because that’s the level of impunity being a billionaire brings to the table.

yeah i’m really not feeling either of these songs but 16 Carriages is at least kinda good. this is making me more excited for Lasso and Lana’s version of country actually.

how do we put an user on ignore?

her doing whatever she likes is one of the main reasons i still stan this woman today because in a way it’s almost like she’s anti-Hollywood in the sense that she doesn’t conform to what’s expected of her - which is why i sometimes find these “i hope she does trap! i hope she does a big pop radio hit” posts a bit redundant because no matter how many records she makes with The Weeknd, Mike Dean, Migos, etc etc she still does what she wants at the end of the day and she shouldn’t apologize or change her tune because it’s not the pussy popping musicianship that some fans expect or demand from her *shrugs* but if she does come out with a capital B banger good for her! i’ll be here applauding and supporting her regardless

the one who puts out chart chasing hits? that’s my entire point and you are just acting sassy for the hell of it. not even Fishtails or Peppers are hits: the former is way too subdued, the latter is an anamorphic song that merges a trap beat sample with surf rock. it’s not a coincidence that the tracks who are frequently used and consequently got viral on social media out of Tunnel were Let The Light In and Margaret and she didn’t capitalize on either of them with additional promo or music videos or interviews whatsoever. so no, this version of Lana that wants to do a chart topping mega hit with fire beats and bombastic choruses does not exist at the moment, no matter how many tracks she records on the sidelines and never gets to release - this is not me thinking i know her personally, this is me looking at the state of her career and her latest output since 2019. i’m open to be surprised and see her pivot to wherever direction she wants to as i’m sure she’ll excel at anything she tries - for the time being i’m *assuming* she doesn’t seem interested in pursuing whatever some of the stuck-in-the-BTD/LFL-eras fans are claiming she NEEDS to or SHOULD do next because unlike *you* i don’t relegate her post-NFR music as boring just because it doesn’t have beats you can shake yourself to like i’ve seen you state countless times so maybe remember that before unnecessarily shade me when i didn’t even address you.

i think Country Roads and the snippet of Henry Come On are pretty good indicators of what’s most likely coming: spacey, somber, atmospheric country. i’m sure she’ll have country infused bops but i hardly think they’ll feature any sort of bombastic radio-ready beats whatsoever but i could be wrong ofc i’d say they fucked before assuming they recorded or will record anything

oh that’s a given regardless of genre!

i think there’s a difference between recording a song like Fishtails and doing a whole hit single like Old Town Road *shrugs* is she recording with Migos? where is that info?

you really think Lana wants to do a Old Town Road chart chaser at this point in her career? y’all are funny
