Reputation should really be at least announced on New Years Day, Especially with 2025 being Year of the Snake…

After reading Lolita for the past week, I never realized how much Nabokov/ Lolita heavily influenced Lana until recently  With each page, I see glimpses of Lana's songwriting style in Nabokov's eloquent, vivid, and beyond beautiful writing style. I also never realized how much she borrowed certain phrases and aspects from Lolita and incorporated them into her own work. With the more obvious references like Lolita (BTD song) and 1949, I never realized that Carmen was inspired off of the fictional "Little Carmen" song mentioned in the book. She also seemingly borrowed the phrase "glimmering darling" from Lolita as well  I also can't forget Lana singing about many other motifs mentioned in Lolita, such as road trips, older men, Americana, white socks, and being in that Pontiac from July to July (despite the month actually being May in the book ). Anyways, I'm absolutely sure that I'll find the source of more references that Lana has made as I continue reading  

I had no idea the extended radio mix of Summertime Sadness existed and it’s so pretty I didn’t expect it to end with sounds of the ocean?? 

Omg, this is a such a cool find!
 
This reminded me how I had always loved the story about that Hollywood sign which the director of the trailer, Constellation Jones (he also directed White Dress) talked about:
"The hardest part of this whole video was the Hollywood sign. We wanted a night shot of the Hollywood sign as it looked, all lit up in the 1950s. Of course, the sign is not lit up anymore. So I and a few friends built the sign and the mountain out of papier-mâché, foam, chicken wire, and old school Hollywood-style model-making in my garage. The neighbors thought I had lost my mind when they saw me knee deep in papier-mâché. Blink and you will miss it, but all of that from the tower to the sign to the bushes and trees were all made by hand. Probably would have been so much easier to have someone build it in 3D, but it was so much fun playing in mud, glue, and paint for three days."

Random but I just realized the LFL trailer was filmed at Lana's home

 

She changed the chemtrails lyric to he’s born in March! And something along the lines of “take it from me, it’s never too late…”

i was there and she was literally perfect. saw her live twice this year and her vocals really are her best ever. her aura is truly indescribable. before i saw her live i’d also complain about the setlist but it is really great as it is, the experience is so good when you live it that you don’t really think about the fact that the setlist is tired.
 
other than that, it was a tough day: on top of her being 25 mins late, we got almost zero water from security although they made us empty our bottles before coming in. in Barcelona they would give thousands of water bottles for front row people to pass the others. security couldn’t spot people who were fainting so lana and the other singers before had to do it for them. also so many people in the crowd were pushing others and sneaking their way into the rows that were near the stage, as if there were a reason why they and not others would have the right to do so  part of the crowd was really, really irritating.
 
kinda sad for the barricade people as she didn’t come down at the end, but her show was perfect, there were so many emotions in each note 

The audience wasn't able to hear that. We got lucky on the radio stream.

Sneak peak to the dressing room with all the cute Chanel accessories, dresses and shoes which her stylist Molly Dickson shared in her Instagram stories!

God we really were robbed when she scrapped RBFY. Also, how is it that her vocals were so much better when she sang RBFY/BE compared to the rest of the set? 

Some behind the scenes photos posted by her stylist, @mollyddickson!


She posted the photos from the dressing room as well with all the Chanel accessories and dresses but she already posted these in her stories few days ago which screenshots I posted here one page ago!

Are you using France Inter audio ? I wanted to cut the audio and download them into my spotify local files for every song !!

Back home, never cried so much in my life. After so many years seeing her barricades, Im still in shock. The crowd was INSANE, even the security was scared of us lmao. She was smiling with tear in her eyes after ride, the crowd sang words by words for every songs. So proud of the french. Literally crying writing this, it was magical. GODNA 

I don't thing is about the personal trainer.. a bunch of artists travel with their trainers to keep fit... or either about a current relationship honestly.. 

I would love that. I'm not sure about the rules but a lot of live have been posted in the media section of this forum so I don't see what would be the problem with this one. 

every time I see someone has posted on here, I am worried it's because the tour has been cancelled 

Had the joy of gifting the Liverpool show ticket to my stepdaughter today and she’s soooo excited 

attention & interaction bait

Us LanaBoardians are should’ve received those emails  (if they’re real)

i think that’s that they’re alluding to, which would be insane, idk if it’s real or not but a few people have shown “emails”

Guest list as… free tickets…?

is that guest list thing just a massive inside joke or what

nominating myself for worst username 

She’s playing Leeds fest in the summer too, might be playing Glasto so could be in the UK around that time 

I thought about that too and it is definitely more likely. And tbh I don’t know if Chappell needs to open for anyone anymore lol. Either way it is very cool they have a connection and I’m sure Lana knows that Chappell is a huge fan.
