I wonder if we'll hit 10M before Monday Also, only 34 more days left...

The History of #lyricgate The Morning of February 8, 2023 — A&W is uploaded to Musixmatch. This along with Apple Music adding the song's length, an insider claiming to have information, and a Chinese website adding A&W's release date, all send LanaBoards into chaos about the upcoming single. The Evening of February 8, 2023 — I, @ivory almond, wrote up fake lyrics to the song A&W using the already known lyrics, "Mom called" and "This is the experience of being an American Whore" that were provided by insiders. I proceed to upload them to Musixmatch. LanaBoards sees the added lyrics and investigates them. Their conclusion? Fake. And the suspect? A guy by the name of Max ******, and he is also suspected to be from LanaBoards by @Blossom, who says "y'all thats ivory almond's real name. Sarah Paulson stop trolling!!!!!!" This was discovered after a past post from me with my spotify account exposed my real name, Max ****** 11 AM est, February 14, 2023 — A&W is released on streaming platforms. Not long after, Tidal uploads the infamous fake lyrics. Youtube Music and Spotify follow, also uploading the fake lyrics. This starts the long chain of threats against me, with LanaBoards users posting "ivory almond, trust you will be dealt with" The Evening of February 15, 2023 — I return from my week long class trip to a brand new single and loads of notifications. Realizing the lyrics were uploaded to streaming platforms and my identity was revealed, I was quick to play dumb and asked why everyone thought it was me. In what was shaping up to be a heated argument with Blossom, they explained how exactly everyone knew. Knowing there was no way out, I admitted it, and realized how much I had negatively impacted the community. I apologized to all users who had called me out, and publicly posted a status update with my apologies. Blossom suggested joining a sport/club to take up my free time and also thought I should email Musixmatch and Spotify to clean up my mess, which I did. 8:24 PM est, February 15, 2023 — After I sent a screenshot of my email, @ultrabanisters posted "#lyricgate proving entertaining this evening " and thus, #lyricgate was born. The Afternoon of February 16, 2023 — The fake lyrics are still up on all streaming platforms. In a rather unsettling TikTok, a fan posts the fake lyrics, believing that they are real and a "hidden message" from Lana herself. Here is the link to that video, viewer discretion advised: https://www.tiktok.com/@hernameismerit/video/7200714702479985925?q=a%26w lyrics lana&t=1676709059356 Currently, the video is at 19k likes and 121k views. Many other videos and reddit posts begin to surface. One anonymous person claims they emailed someone who works for Lana's team and was told that they are actually part of a monologue from "Judah Smith Interlude." Others claim they are lyrics from an early demo of the song. The Night of February 17, 2023 (today) — Early yesterday, the real lyrics were finally uploaded. However, my legacy stays strong amongst clueless fans. A few LanaBoards users, myself included, are directed to this thread for lore after someone discussed the chaotic history of this pre-release era. It is now almost 4 AM est when I am posting this, documenting #lyricgate for those who are lucky enough to discover it far into the future. This is ivory almond AKA Max, signing off.

Cola vs Old Money

HELP just saw this... guess my lyrics weren't too bad after all, (beautiful) losers

Is there a thread for this thread's lore? If not, there should be because my fake lyrics were sorta iconic ngl i keep seeing tiktoks about how people think it's a demo like how dumb are these bitches, sorry LMAO

me when I realize that the switch to the Lizzy Grant/BTD production in A&W is actually a symbol for how Lana almost reverts back to her old ways of being that sensual, sexy, glamorous "whore" because she doesn't feel loved in her current state of being, so going back to that old persona will at least make her feel wanted by men however, this contrasts the first half of the song which IS that gentle, acoustic sounding that reflects her current persona, and the first half also talks about being sexualized and "asking for it" when it comes to assault, so she can never win because she will always be either criticized for being slutty or continue feeling the lack of love that she talked about in ocean blvd Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

Wait, you were just the person to find the apple music release date, right? Nevermind, that's so embarrassing for me, I'm sorry.

GIRL AREN'T YOU AN INSIDER?

Can't stop? Or won't stop? CAUSE SAME LMAO

She was SO real for this line, and I'm not trying to be funny. This was such a bold decision to put it in the song, but it was a good decision because it's true, relevant, and needs to be addressed in today's society. I think the entire song is a lyrical masterpiece, but this might be her best lyric on the album. prolly not, though, you know kintsugi and fingertips are gonna eat

MARGARINE BYE am I the only one looking forward to Margaret? 😭 I mean, I like Secret Life and that's mostly Jack, so imagine if it was mostly Lana instead

hm, okay so you are correct... but that was me being an insider instead of fake anonymously posting lyrics, so I promise to never spread false information regarding Lana again, applying to both situations

I definitely did, I promise something like this will never happen again Again, I just want to say sorry to anyone I upset

ugh okay when you put it like that, it does sound bad, but I really did not mean to upset anyone or intentionally be rude/disrespectful, especially to Lana's personal experiences Is there some way for me to delete the lyrics on musixmatch?

damn it, i should have been more careful LMAO pls don't hate me, i didn't mean to cause harm! okay, im rly sorry about all of that, i didn't think it would get out of hand

PLS that was a silly joke that I didn't think everyone on the entire internet would see, ALSO I CANT BELIEVE SPOTIFY USED THEM LIKE? im sorry i didn't know spotify was stupid like that i wish I could take it back 😭

GIRL JUST TELL ME LMAO, I DON'T WANT PEOPLE MAD AT ME

guys, i love the first part so much, and as iconic as the second part is, it just doesn't hit the same as the beautiful lyrics in the first part she's coming for our throats

ok yall i just came back from a three-day class trip and i just want to say first of all, lana ate, devoured, threw it up all over me and I thanked her, BUT why do I have so many notifs attacking me about the fake lyrics, why are yall saying those were from me?

the "fake" lyrics for a&w are still on Musixmatch, and I'm starting to get worried. This past week, they were taken down and the lyrics were hidden, but now they are back up... so does that mean that Lana's team verified them or smthn? 😭

the wanderlust sample 😭 which is actually so good, and I can't wait to hear Chuck on the song

it would be so cool if there was a visualiser of the ocean, and then like a storm came through as the song got darker or heavier something like that idk

me waiting for the "hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have – but I have it / Black Bathing Suit / American Whore" medley:
