    Well festival crowds aren't really talked about because people technically paid for the festival itself, but since Honeymoon, Lana has turned into a true festival queen. She brings tens of thousands of people, her crowds are usually among the biggest (if not the biggest).

     

    Her selling out those solo shows in Europe within minutes is proof of her power, and let's not even talk about her Mexico dates...

     

    If her team is smart, and she feels good, they should definitely capitalize on her current popularity and touring power-- I think she would be even happier and more accepting of her fame after seeing all these sold out arenas and stadiums full of people singing her music and loving her. It really does seem like they're planning a proper tour, obviously with festival dates in the middle.

     

    I'm really hoping she comes to Buenos Aires for a solo show at Movistar Arena (15,000 capacity -- it's the most common arena for international shows) instead of yet another Lollapalooza gig. I'm tired of Lolla tbh.

    I live in Chile, and have the same feelings as you. She's a touring force in Latin America, why is she doing Lollapalooza only over here? smh. I want a proper solo tour.

    My boyfriend tested positive for COVID

    It don't matter, we've been kissing

    So whatever he has I have

    I can't cry

    :toofunny: 

     

    like I like Peppers but those lines are insufferable :thumb2: 

    what's funny to me is how unapologetically unserious these lyrics are. Imagine if this was released back on 2020/2021, people would be cancelling her, lmao.

    why can’t i just shut the fuck up for once i always have to state something controversial :xgiggle:

     

    but the convo is interesting and the song itself is nice!

    Nah, don't say that. Isn't the queer community meant to be an spectrum full of identities, ideologies and perspectives? There's no black and white in the fucking rainbow for a reason. 

     

    As long as we all tolerate and respect each other's opinions, have the chance to respectfully portray our ideas, and don't force our own views on other members, what's the problem? Like you said, this whole stunt did exactly what he probably wanted in the first place: elicit and spark a reaction. Good strategy, Troye.

     

    Friendly reminder that we all come from different backgrounds, with different coming out (or not) life stories. Not everybody had it easy, some of us are not quite where we'd like to be yet.

     

    I might not agree with all of the things said here, but I have nothing but admiration for how brazen and brave y'all are.

     

    And leaving all the controversy agenda aside, it all comes to the music at the end of the day, anyway. The song is really good, and I hope is a fucking hit, if he plays his cards right, why wouldn't it be? It's catchy as hell. He desperately wants it, and it shows.

    i know i’m probably gonna get blasted for this but am i the only one that misses the blue neighbourhood troye?

     

    the video feels very cheap and uncomfortably hyper sexual to me (the multiple ass and thong shots etc). and yes, also everyone is super skinny and fit… maybe i’m just not used to it or maybe im just internally pissed that the grindr hookup culture, sexual things like jock straps and asking for someone’s nude twitter on first sight are our representation now these days idk

     

    pls someone understand me i’m not trying to start anything :bebe:

    I completely see your point and I agree 100% with you.

     

    Disclaimer: This is a bit of a rant, but is my point of view, please don't crucify me, and if you do, take into account that this is my personal opinion only, you have the absolute right to disagree with me and educate me if there's something missing that I'm not seeing:

     

    Stunts like this is what gives society reasons to think that our queer community is full of sex obsessed nymphos, 'perverts' and 'degenerates', as they call us. I'm aware people like Sam or Troye are trying to come across as edgy trailblazers of sexual liberation. But in the long run, with the mindset of today's world, it causes more damage to our image and proves their point. It personally hurts me, a little. I don't want to be seen as some 'sex freak' just for being queer.

     

    But to be fair, at the end of the day, with the mediocre vocal ability and limited musical talent of Troye, this is the only route to go next commercially. Giving people something to talk about, what's a lil' controversy to stay relevant, huh? Sex sells, and helps to disguise our lack of skills, anyway.

     

    Even if I'm aware that his voice is average at best, I used to LOVE Troye's music. I was such a stan, even during the 'Bloom' era (that some people tend to shade). And I'm sure he'll give us bops, but the hypersexualization of his image is such a turn off for me. At least during the 'Blue Neighbourhood' era he had a vision, a concept, something interesting with a little bit of depth to bring to the table.

    Lana is such a massive troll for doing this concert inviting all of her collabs and their mothers only to waste the opportunity to invite at least one of them to perform together. Lol, this woman is unbelievable. 

     

    She looked gorgeous, the dress was absolutely beautiful, she looked like a painting.

     

    Also, did somebody truly steal the shoes of our brand new livestream queen Loryyss? :rip:. Wtf.

     

    Sweeeeeeeeet.

    Barefeeeeeeeeet

    Indeeeeeed.

    ready!!!

    see you in gold circle! if you see me say hello!

    my leather jacket is shedding everywhere help

    You look incredible, we stan 🖤 Have fun.

     

    Actually, I hope all of the OG members from LB who happen to be there have the time of your lives! Enjoy the show. Sing the fuck out of 'Arcadia', 'The Grants', 'Bartender' and the newer stuff to show the locals who's real :coffee:

     

    Having all of her featured artists over there sounds way too real to be true. I hope she seizes the opportunity and performs the songs. Wishful thinking tho. Knowing Lana she won't do it, I hope I'm proven wrong.

    Some of y'all really expecting a new setlist every show? And lashing the audience for not livestreaming the entire 2 hours? :tsk:

    The entitlement of it alll.... :oprah2: 

    This is so true, tho.

     

    Artists usually have a 'main set' with a specific numbers of songs. And the whole band has to rehearse and play those 20 (?) songs. Byron and Blake have been performing the same songs for years, but they have a new bass player and drummer. We should keep that in mind.

     

    I hope they bring back some 'Honeymoon' tracks at some point! 🖤

    I like the dancers, but the thing about them is that if Lana ever adds "Fingertips" or "Hope is a dangerous thing..." the girls will be twerking their asses and being all seductive and smiles and stuff :scoff:

     

    I need to see the "Ocean Blvd" performance. Does anyone have link? People are shook on Twitter/Instagram about it.
