celebrities out of touch?
 
 
 
all i know is in her heart she does not have hatred or harm for anyone. she may align herself with the wrong stance, but as she always says and her fans keep refusing to listen to, her intentions are always in the right place and i trust her on that. and i do not look up to artists for being a moral, ethical or political beacon of light when they are wrapped up in a saccharine LA bubble with millions in their bank account and have their own echo chambers going on. it's more annoying to watch her fans express the same disappointment and write the same essays whenever something like this pops up. stop idealizing celebrities and expecting perfect opinions and statements from them for serious matters that most of us don't even have a grasp on to begin.

Good for her for standing up for herself. I remember she said a couple of years ago that she was never going to let anyone try to rewrite her story for her, and I love that sentiment. I think it's something important everyone should stand by x
 
I also wrote out a full transcript of her video for anyone who wants to read it - 
 
"I wanna make this video really short and sweet just ‘cause the conversation keeps coming up about me coming from money, and my family having money, and this whole thing. I just want to say, like, coming from the most rural spot inarguably in one of the most rural spots of America that was not a wealthy town and having gone to a boarding school where I didn’t even know I was going or didn’t have any concept of and got financial aid for because my uncle worked in the administrative building and also being completely alienated from all the kids who already knew each other from New York City. I had such a tough time there because everyone knew how much money everyone had. So, unfortunately, my experience every day was having people call me WT from LP - White Trash from Lake Placid. So, I’m just saying this constant narrative when my parents were arguing about money every single day, and my dad working as a woodworker and in real estate and my mom working in education. Like, although he bought domain names later on, it doesn’t mean that they were worth anything until more recently. So, he was eccentric and amazing and ahead of his time in terms of what he was doing, but it doesn’t mean there was any money for us or to be made at the time. So, I didn’t even have any experience having anything until I was 26 and made my own money. I was living in a hostel on 17th St when I played Saturday Night Live, and how I played Saturday Night Live was because I’d gotten a publishing deal in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the guest territories. So, it’s just very challenging because I think had we had money I would have had a completely different experience and not fought so hard to be a singer probably to my detriment because I didn’t want me or my family to struggle financially. Like, the music that comes from me comes from a place at that time of concern that we would not have money. That’s the experience that I know. I didn’t know anyone who had money until I went to a private school where I couldn’t even make any friends except my roommate Christina and a couple girls - Annie and Jen who accepted me and were cool. But, you know, you can’t even find anyone from those schools who knew me because they wouldn’t talk to me. So, to say that, you know, this is the narrative, it’s just important that you know it’s not. It’s not like it was fun living in the trailer park necessarily. I signed my life away, ten records for $10,000 to 5 Points Records that Ben got me out of and I made that stretch for a year and one month by getting to stay at the Manhattan RV Mobile Home in North Bergen. It’s not a shtick. It’s not like it was some glamourous getaway. Like, I really didn’t know what to do and depended on the boyfriends that I had to let me stay with them all that while up until 26. You can ask Steven Mertens. You can ask Josh Kemp. Like, I didn’t have a chance hardly. All of the cards were stacked against me other than my voice, and my parents didn’t even know I was singing until I was on Saturday Night Live. So, why this is important is just because it’s not my truth. I would have no idea what it felt like to grow up with anything other than hearing fighting about money, and even on our monthly, like, spring break vacation every year we drove to Daytona, not flew ‘cause it was too expensive. So, I had a challenging experience all the way through, and to make it even more challenging, now I don’t even get to have my authentic story told so that the music can be listened to and interpreted in a clear manner. So, that’s my spiel. You know, it’s been going on for 13 years now. It’s just it’s so sad that I can’t own coming from, like, this beautiful rural mountain town where the character of people is completely different from anywhere I went afterwards. It’s actually disrespectful to me and to my town where we worked so hard and where I myself worked four jobs. I had a time just to even be like — if you wanna know, why don’t you go to my local town? Why don’t you ask them? Like, they knew I got sent away. They knew it was on financial aid. There’s no fact that checks out, like, that it wasn’t. So, it just sucks to have to explain myself over and over again, because if that was the story I knew, I would love to tell it. I wish it was honestly. Things would have been so much better."

I have decided I would give my firstborn child in exchange for an album of medleys of songs from her discography & freestyles 

I saw some people who queuing for the Mita waiting 20~22 hrs early to get front pit
So I'm planning to queue about 20 hours early! 

She didn't but there was a lot of funny crowd interaction
 
for instance 2 fans fainted and she commented "the drama..." I loved it

I live in Asia and I think this time will be my last time to see her  (Because she never performed in Asia)
So I'm planning to see her as close as I can!! 
But thank you for your kindness answer 🥰

What did she said right before performing OceanBlvd???
I can't understand what she exactly said  

Not at all

@IMURMAN Might help you figure out when to come to be first.

Oh, now I'm fully understand about it!!
Thank you so much!!! 🥰🥰

Sorry I was not exact. You can get an idea of what time people usually line up, or what the rules are. For example, a certain venue I called said they did not permit lining up until 12:00PM and if you came earlier they would kick you out. I usually call the venue or get in touch with an employee about other details about how tickets are scanned or their bag policy. I think the venue should be able to give a time that is best to make sure you get in the front. I hope this helps.

Maybe I'm just getting old but fuck, I could never be bothered going for barricade
Every show I've ever been to I've just chilled up the back and had a good time (with access to bathrooms and drinks)
Best of luck to you though

Down low = information kept secret, details that are private, something not a lot of people know.
 
If you are French speaking, I see the French translation may mean "Planqué". I hope this helps. Maybe a French user here could better translate. 

Last thing before I let you go. DO NOT BRING A BAG! Security will search your bag at many venues which will decrease your place in the "race" to the front. If you must bring a bag make it easily searchable with few items. 

Thank you for your very kind answer!!
I'll keep in mind all of your answers  thank you!!

Sorry, seeing this in Canada. Haha. Ignore the part about you being in France. Best of luck to you. Also, reach out to the venue and find someone who works there. They might have the "down low".

If you're looking to play it safe, get there 4 or 5 in the morning and just wait it out. If your number one goal is to get in the very front get plenty of sleep the night before and be the very first one there in the morning. 
 
In NYC the concert venues where it is popular to camp out I have found 6:00AM is when the people who get in front are guaranteed a spot in the front. I feel like a few years ago it became popular to camp overnight, but safety concerns have made that go away. There seems to be riots in Paris... I don't know how safe it is to sleep outside, so. But now you don't want to risk getting there hours later just for people to be there and exponentially lowering your chance. To answer if you're willing to take the huge sacrifice 4:00AM is an appropriate time. 

It's my first time to go lana's concert, and I really wanna see her very close. 
Usually, how much time do I have to wait to see right in front of her?? 
(I'm planning to go Festival d'été de Québec)

the glasto crowd do not take kindly to latecomers 

Love you so much @hotshot2am 
Thanks to you I could buy one
