Black to Blue

I want an album trailer where it’s her riding a wild horse in a field while a monologue about being free and staying true to your roots plays

Stream and be grateful that she’s continuously releasing masterpieces

I’d be fine with 2-3 cover songs on the album honestly. I think it would be gorgeous to see her pay homage to a few country classics among her new songs.

Interesting if true because the album would likely not be in the Grammy elligibility period for next year’s awards (as if that matters now )

It’s just an easy argument that attorneys like to throw in so something can meet the elements of an intentional infliction of emotional distress

Does anyone know how Grammy voting works exactly? I was thinking about this earlier: I’m a really big fan of reggae music but it’s not a genre that a lot of people are familiar with. Time and time again we see that if the Marleys are nominated for Best Reggae Album nine times out of ten they win even if they’re undeserving. (Ziggy Marley’s wife is also on some board for the Academy so it’s likely to do with that too lol) Do these voters actually listen to the nominations in every category or do they just see “oh I like so and so” or “oh I recognize that name I’m gonna vote for them”? I believe that for certain niche categories it should be primarily voted on by peers in that genre. E.g. people in the alternative music space voting for people in the alt categories. And for main awards it should be a general vote that everyone participates in. Like I said I’m not sure if this is how it works but I think a system like this would avoid the “Oh such and such artist was really popular this year I’m gonna vote for them” scenario.

I think there’s a chance that if she were to drop an unreleased album one of her pop songs from 2010-2012 could go super viral and maybe win Best Pop Solo Performance at the Grammys. I wouldn’t want that to happen necessarily because it would kind of be a kick in the face to the evolution of her music and demonstrate that the Grammys only cares about “pop bops” over complex think pieces. I’d much rather her at least win Best Alternative Album or especially Album of the Year at the Grammys in the future. I truly thought that with this album she would win her first Grammy because everything was so out of the box and free but I have no doubt in my mind she will continue to make Grammy nominated music in the future.

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.

While she didn’t win a Grammy, can we just acknowledge how amazing it is that a song like A&W got nominated? The rawness in the first half juxtaposed by the trap beats at the end is just groundbreaking. It really ushered in a new way of song creation in 2023. It should’ve won at least one award but something as fresh and nuanced being nominated makes me so happy

I hope that if she goes to an afterparty tonight she’s able to let loose and burn off some steam maybe hang out with Quavo some more. Idk. Anything that will make her happy at this point. I’m sending a lot of love to Lana energetically <3

This truly feels like a false reality tonight. At least Lana said that a lot of things are going to be happening fast which gives me hope for the future but I can’t help but feel utterly disappointed. She deserved at least one for the masterpiece she created. I hope she continues focusing on her passions and that this isn’t a roadblock for her. I’m looking forward to all the amazing things she will accomplish this year.

Well this concludes a sad day here on Lanaboards. A lot has changed among our fellow lipsters. Some lipsters have dropped slurs. Some lipsters have dropped N*zi propaganda. Overall many lipsters have revealed their true lack of taste among the rage that has consumed this thread. May better days come!

THE ACADEMY YOU GOT OUR GIRL EXCITED FOR NO REASON AGHHHHH

TIME FOR LANA TO LASSO IN THAT LAST GRAMMY COME ON AOTY!!!

11:11 EASTERN TIME EVERYBODY MAKE A WISH

Okay Lana with the digital camera

Wait did Taylor and Jack switch so Jack can talk to Lana more tee hee

Shoutout to our international lipsters who are now aware of the social experiement that is American primetime television

Now I understand how BTS fans feel when they go feral online when their favs lose

Jack is really not giving a f— in that little preview they showed between ads. Just having a goofy time

At this point if she’s not winning AOTY then why did they seat her up front with no plus one? I would’ve rather her sat with Chuck or Nikki and felt comfortable than right at the front. The night isn’t over yet so I’m hoping she’s sitting there for good reason

Lana will be pulling a Jon Batiste and winning album of the year trust

.

GET READY EVERYONE SHE’S WINNING
