IYLDWM was promoted on some "new music" lists I think, so it got a special boost.

I think this was more of a joke, because the vinyl production took so long.

I love how much she's interacting with us this era 

So uhm I was having technical difficulties and then I fell asleep while it was uploading but here's my recording of the live-
 
Still can't believe she went live for almost 2 hours and how much she revealed, I had to cancel my plans last minute to watch it but I'm so glad that I did. I really love how open she was with us. 

i rewatched the livestream while getting reading this morning and i feel like I know her so much better. what a special gift!!

Beautiful is so sad and stellar..pls

I don't really know if this will be true. She gets a lot of her sales from physicals, and her management/label may end up making it happen. At the very least, I can't see no vinyl being produced at all, but maybe just a standard black. 

the livestream was the best thing that happened in this era. I loved it so much. She seemed so happy and that makes me so happy. 

Alot of viral on Twitter 

Someone on ig said it could be the californian politician Kevin McCarthy , but I don't know how much is behind it.

I like to think so, since she's in her folk phase right now. And her work is full of such references that we may not have uncovered all yet.

Honestly I keep going back the beautiful over and over i love how she’s gone from “out of the black into the blue” and now she’s “turning the blue into something beautiful” 

i've been off for a bit because i didn't listen to the leak and wanted to process the album on my own... all i can say is this album is truly incredible. 

I've gone back and forth on if the "lie la lie"s in IYLDWM are a reference to Simon & Garfunkel "The Boxer." I always think of it. I can't see a thematic connection between the songs, but it's such a well-known chorus, I'm sure she would've had it in mind.

I like this theory a lot, and I agree that this is the first time she's used a matriarchal theme in her music
But if it really is a word that she's never used in a song before, then it can't be "mother" since she has used that in Body Electric:
"Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn's my mother"
 
Unless she just forgot about that line haha
Edit: and Old Money too
