cowboy carter already featured a lot of soft rock sounds so i believe act III will be an even more comfortable spot for her, specially considering her past experimentations within the rock genre

same!!! the vocals made me so excited for act III, I think it's gonna be great and my favorite from this trilogy

I listened to it yesterday and will give it a second listen in a bit, but my initial thoughts were:
 
the very core and overall vibe is extremely country, don't really agree with the comments saying it wasn't that country. sure, there are other influences and genres mixed in between, but it's pretty much country aaaall the way. so me absolutely not liking the genre the only tracks I can say I liked were bodyguard, daughter, spaghettii (the brazilian funk sample was such a nice surprise) and tyrant. I'm not sure if I liked/might grow on me: ameriican requiem, ya ya and sweet honey buckin'. the rest were either not memorable/didn't stand out to me on this first listen or I just really disliked, like levii's jeans for example, I couldn't even get through the last minute of it and skipped it  but overall it is a good album and in the end it's just a matter if you like the genre or not, because beyoncé always delivers top notch vocals and production, so I always expect that from her. it is a very immersive experience, the interludes definitely contribute a lot to it and tbh I expected to suffer listening to it, but I didn't, which is a win I guess.

this was briefly put on Wikipedia and then removed for having a “non-public” source. But I do think that not everything she shared is a track title (and that’s the reason she didn’t explicitly say “tracklist”)

tracklist 

 
American Requiem Blackbird 16 Carriages Protector My Rose Smoke Hour Willie Nelson Texas Hold 'Em Bodyguard Dolly P Jolene Daughter Spaghetti Alligator Tears Smoke Hour II (Interlude) Just For Fun Most Wanted Levi's Jeans Flamenco The Linda Martell Show YaYa Oh Louisiana Desert Eagle Riverdance II Hands II Heaven Tyrant Sweet Honey Buckin' Amen

actually there's several songs with 4+ minutes but also quite a lot of interludes under 1 minute

Yes...

my favorite Beyoncé album since lemonade
 
 it’s a bit of a slow start but once it starts to expand WHEW

Actually I experienced the opposite, I have been wearing her Chemtrails and BB and born to die anniversary tees and hoodies kind of daily. They have been washed so often you cannot imagine. And the tees are still soft and thick/heavy. Also the prints are still fine! Only the BB Eyes design now shows signs of wearing, but that's after 40 washes or so. 
 
(Her mug prints didn't even survive a hand-wash though! But tees and hoodies...) 
 

You girlies can catch me outside at Lanachella sporting my Paradise collection with a bow in my hair.

You wouldn't understand. You see, I'm a poet.

And my looks are ahead of your time! 
 

serves her right. Lana if you read this please start making nice looking NON POLYESTER Merch we will willingly give you all our money. 

That's how I love merch most. It is the kind of stuff you can wear at work and only other fans will recognize it. Didn't get this only because it's cropped, lol. Love the bow, but I might just buy a similar looking one for 5 EUR and write LDR on it with nail lacquer or so. Just want it for my LDR decoration, not wanting to pay 24 EUR for it incl shipping plus probably 9 EUR extra VAT. 33 EUR is surely too much. 

Loved it as well. Had ordered the towel with the rear view design but then they told me they won't get it so I got my money back...

yeah but it's one of the very few things in this collection that's actually pretty. i was going to get one too but not for this price

the funny thing is the scalpers can list it for whatever price they want but when they realise noone will buy it for more than $40 at most they will just have an ugly tshirt sitting in their closet
 
the free market has a funny way of dealing karma 

I mean i understand that she liked it because I did too I bought the shirt on LDRVILLAGE before the site was taken down and I loved it so much 

No  I don't want my fear of missing out on collectables to be a reason to spend money on something that I just don't like

The tour jacket with this font is what we wanted.. instead we got an I heart Lana Del Rey black tshirt lol 

And bows have always been apart of her style. For yearsss. and bows were heavily used in the ocean Blvd aesthetic before it blew up on Tik tok. She’s wearing bows in her hair in practically every photo and every live performance. But since that part of her aesthetic has blown up recently and been directly tied to her she’s probably just trying to cater to that 

Good Evening, "The Festival Collection" was a 24 month sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

That was the one I meant. And she wore that hoodie pretty proudly. And if she made one of these, I guess the others could be hers, too.
