THE WAY THIS WOMAN WILL SERVE THE MOST RANDOM ICONIC MOMENT WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT

the only thing I'm manifesting is Hey Blue Baby, I'll leave the rest up to Lana (but I wouldn't be mad about an actual Sep 20th release either)

I would love it if she created a new medley for this performance a la Change/Black Beauty/Young & Beautiful

it's crazy how much this has grown on me lately.. I'm still not totally sold on the lyrics but I love Lana's delivery on the second verse and the way Taylor and Lana's voices mesh together in the rest of the song is really beautiful, I'd like to see more (proper) collabs from them in the future

I love playing this album on weekend mornings when I’m at home just chilling… BB has to be my ultimate comfort album, it always feels like a warm hug in music form

wanted to take a moment to say this is my first pre-release on LB and it’s already been so fun ily all I have to cringe when I think about how I was following the Ocean Blvd pre-release through reddit lmao I was in the trenches

the way let the light in is kinda the new summertime sadness

oh we are sooo not prepared for whatever is coming

Maggie's new single! I like her music usually and this song is cute too but I don't think I'll be listening to it much... I love Ocean Blvd title track too much for this not to feel like a ripoff Edit: oh apparently the whole album (coming April 12th) is titled Don't Forget me lmfaooo gurl idk what to feel about this

Did you know that I had tears in my eyes listening to Kintsugi on the bus today I didn't think it was possible but I love this album more with each passing day <3

I'm feeling orange, also light blue

he ate that one little thing

anyone know this account omg that's my birthday I need it to be true

album streams up almost 60%… A&W up 105%… the people have spoken

the parasocial was parasocialing a bit but I was really wanting a sign of life after all that. Rob’s post and Lana’s comment made me so happy to see haha what a classic father-daughter moment

oh noo these titles sounds so juvenile and are not making me hopeful that this album will be on par with folklorevermore rather than midnights part two… I’m sure she’ll make it work somehow but girl you’re 34 where’s the class

flash forward to when it’s september, the grammys are a distant memory, I’ve got my headphones on listening to hey blue baby studio recording for the first time

I don’t want to beat a dead horse but I just saw the clip of when they announced aoty again and the way the camera fully focuses on lana for the first five seconds instead of even trying to get taylor’s reaction is actually fucking diabolical…..

Ok I know it's nottt that serious but I'm on my lunch break running on two hours of sleep and I felt inspired to write a dramatic incoherent rant of my own to get some of my frustration out, read at your own peril: I feel like this was a "last exit before the bridge" type of situation; it's a shame the Grammy's missed it. Not for Lana, but for them. As other on this forum have so eloquently pointed out, it's a sore spot for the music industry at large that the woman they ridiculed a decade ago turned into arguably the most influential artist of her generation, spawning many of today's establishment-darlings. It's no wonder they are scared of her, and scared to reward her, because it means admitting fault, and that's never an easy thing to do. Yet, one might have thought, twelve years after Born To Die's release, on the back of a career-defining, genre-spanning ninth studio album, they could finally have found the grace and humility to say, hey, we were wrong. To finally give an artist as influential - and historically controversial - as Lana her flowers would have been a good look on the Grammys, one that's become rarer and rarer in years mired by public outcry at the choice of winners for the big awards. I don't mean to understate Lana's ability to reinvent herself and redefine her artistry time and time again, I'm certain she can and will continue to challenge our expectations of her in the best way possible, but it’s still hard to imagine an opus rivaling Ocean Blvd arriving anytime soon. This album is such a layered, richly rewarding listen for anyone who has followed Lana's journey as an artist: her barest lyrics yet evoke impossible emotions, worlds of meaning are hidden within the structure of the tracklist, the album morphs into then transcends the metaphor of its eponymous track. Nominating such a body of work five times yet refusing to bestow any accolades upon it while awarding other, derivative, and frankly infinitely more simple albums and songs is a confounding choice on the Recording Academy's part, but it's not Lana Del Rey's loss. Though she keeps pushing ever forward, the culture at large has finally caught up to her— at least enough to recognise her impact as a generational artist, even as her self-mythology remains impermeable to many. Lana will move through this as she has moved through all the noise that has surrounded her for more than decade: without missing a step in her unrelenting quest to offer up her soul’s truth in her music. But when your first four-time AOTY winner in history has to take time out of her speech to praise, in her own words, that legend in her prime, who is standing behind her in the shadows, empty-handed— you have to realise you've abjectly failed as a committee whose stated aim is to recognise "outstanding" achievements in music. Lana will probably win a Grammy one day, but it will ring hollow when she does. The moment of redemption has passed.

oh you said it all

honestly I am a bit surprised at how bad-faith people are being about Taylor, I guess anything she does is prone to getting construed into a thousand different things, but I fail to see in what universe Taylor wanting to highlight Lana on that stage and literally saying in so many words that the Grammys have been snubbing her is supposed to be a bad thing or disrespectful obviously it would be better if Lana won and was appreciated on her own merits and this wasn’t happening in the first place, but considering that that’s not the case, I really think this was a genuine - if maybe not entirely well thought out - gesture

nurse she's out again

yup yup not saying I'm happy about it but it's kind of alt girl legend status when you think about it... Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Björk, PJ Harvey never won a grammy either
