tiktok is full of lana vids from yesterday, even when she loses she wins  

Sis , i literally broke up with my bf last month and is not bothering me as much as this lol

She really has them GAGGED, it's so satisfying to witness
 A win in itself

I really hope Lana uses this moment as fuel to further her dreams and goals this year. As she said in Dallas in 2023, "Never forget to let passion be your true North Star." Regardless of what has happened I hope this is at the forefront of her mind and I'm so excited to hear her new passion project Lasso among anything else she has planned for this year.

Worst thing is that she's better than all of them put together.
Say Yes To Heaven alone is better than anything TS ever did , i won't even mention Bleachers ... to think she actually did collabs with them ...

You are fucking 100% spot on.
 
Lana doesn't "play the game". That's why a lot of us thought it was odd that she actively campaigned for Ocean Blvd (at the urging of others it seems?), inspired by the goodwill she'd been receiving, just to ultimately be slapped in the face by the powers that be.
 
Her punishment, right? Well, no, because she benefits both ways. She doesn't have to ever do SHIT for the Grammys again, and she'll still be incredibly successful, innovative, subversive, and self-maintained... all of that without being some cookie cutter industry shrill trying to impress the industry bigwigs. Isn't she the #2 most streamed female artist on Spotify currently? She's quite literally the 2nd most prolific and successful female artist out there right now. And she did it without being watered down, or playing it safe. 
 
If she wants to say "fuck it" and go even more gloves off now, well... We ride at dawn! She's a genius. And she'll be fine without a stupid trophy given to her by Boomers who never understood her (or tried to) anyway. Fuck 'em. She's a true rebel, and rebels are rarely rewarded easily by those who have played it safe their entire lives.

All of this… and it was really really well written btw. Honestly wish I could share to socials lol  because you lay it out! Fuck the industry and the people who don’t get her honestly. She’s a legend, a true legacy artist, one in a million. There’s nobody like her in our generation and there won’t be again. 

If they didn't change that goddamn rule she would've been nominated for AOTY three times this year. So fucked up

In 2014, Cedric Gervais won Best Remix with Summertime Sadness; Lana was not awarded for this.
In 2024, Taylor Swift won Album of the Year, which includes a Lana feature, but again Lana was not awarded for this.
 

Lana (5), Olivia Rodrigo (6) and Jon Batiste (6) were the most nominated artists without a single win at the Grammys 2024.

I'm really disappointed because, just like most of you guys, I was so confident she was taking home at least one award. I know it's a competition and I don't want Lana to be a victim but this is all so unfair. Everyone was getting their awards, and nothing for Lana? Who was second best selling woman in the world, even more than the people she lost against? Who had one of the most monumental, critically applauded albums of the 2020s? Who didn't stop making the news for her magnetic performances at some of the most important festivals in the world? Who had the most talked-about album of the entire year? 
 
Midnights was the Best Pop Vocal Album, why give it the AOTY too? What Was I Made For won Best Song Written for Visual Media, the category it totally deserved as it was, well, the best song written for visual media of the bunch? How does that song reflect 2023 as Song of the Year, and not A&W with its actually thought-provoking lyrics?
 
Boygenius for Best Alternative Music Album; I know The Record was acclaimed too, but in what world Ocean Blvd wasn't the alternative album of the year? The one that's actaully left-field, deeply conceptual, with multiple sounds, instruments, dynamics and lyrics that actually represent the alternative side of music; topics that aren't talked about, that are feared by most, and not as explored as they should. Why give This Is Why Best Alternative Song, when its parent album won Best Rock Album? Couldn't they, really, give anything to Lana?
 
If this is a popularity contest, yes they all deserved... Miley, SZA and everyone else; but 2023 was undoubtedly Lana's popularity peak, and it only seems to rise. How, seriously how wasn't she awarded for that? What does she have to do to have this level of mainstream recognition? She doesn't need it, of course, as she's a critic darling, a festival darling, a GP darling... everyone loves her. She hasn't reached the tip of the "music industry" iceberg, but does she really need to? Prime TV, the Grammys, the Oscars... maybe her fate really is to be a trailblazer, watch all of her disciples come and go, grab the gold and the applause, but she will remain strong and influential, discussed and forever relevant.
 
I love you Lana, and I love you Ocean Blvd; others are thankful for seeing their favorite artists reach #1 and undeservedly break Grammy records; I personally am thankful for experiencing the music, for being part of this global movement that is Lana Del Rey, driven by her pure talent and timeless songwriting.
 
By the way, she looked breathtaking.
 

all i know is that she will always come back stronger than the last time. UV, NFR, OB are prime examples. let's manifest that with LASSO era

her hairstylist called the look “vintage goth coquette” i think

2023 was literally her year. it’s sad these old voters don't realize how important she is 

I'm loving her look more and more. It's like Honeymoon if it was goth

So they gave her 5 nominations and sat her next to two winners just not to give her any award, letting her go empty handed. She should never give this disgusting industry anything else.
 
Lana, wherever you are, you are already the most significant pop artist from this century and everyone knows that. The fact that someone as TS has won 4 times that award with her mid stuff just gives the measure of what this is all about. You're just so above all of it.

I feel bad for Jon batiste too. So many nominations and nothing. The guy is pure talent. 

the way Kintsugi singlehandedly could've obliterated the vote. imagine that. Kintsugi's richness alone. 

It’s cus the grammys KNOW that these type of artists are out of their league.

oh not this photo

Well put, literal slap in the face.
 
That said, it's just jealousy 1:1. They all fucking wish they could write a track like OB, let alone the whole album.

Yes, and the fact that he said that publicly... It's pathetic for the recording academy.

precisely why we shouldn't dwell and give af 

It's sad she did not win anything yet again after so many nomination and it's disgusting what little idea the voters at the awards have (bringing up a messed up TV performance from 2012 ... wtf) but -
 
Are we actually suprised? If NFR could not make it in 2019, why would an album like OB win now? Especially when up against Ms. Bland Swift?

But how many articles, critics and fellow artists have to say she is THE best songwriter of our generation for her to be recognised as such by the academy? Clearly, it's not enough to simply BE that - you need to call people and send gifts and have lunch with various executives and all that shit.
Well, fuck that. I'd much rather she invest her time in doing things that make her happy + making music, than worry about all that shit
They can keep their Scammys
Not watching again everrr
See you next time she's nominated
