Oh my god. What the fuck. I'm actually lost for words. I don't know what to say, seriously. You know, I didn't really came to the awards hoping for a win because all I was looking for was a lot of fun and great company - which we got, it was really awesome and chaotic. Francesco, you're so damn funny, your humor was truly the peak of the night, each post got funnier, I've never had much fun laughing and reading your posts. It was joyful to read ultrablvd's posts as well, your humor is also amazing. Please, you two must win an award next year!!!
 
I love this place. I really wish I had joined earlier when I discovered this website in 2020. The time didn't feel right then though. Here, I truly feel myself. All weird and delusional, maybe it's that way because it's the Internet, most of us are here behind our screens with Lana as our profile photo icon, all of us either smiling, laughing, crying and vibing, sharing our love and admiration for a one certain person. That's the closest we could get to world peace. All of my life I had waited for a perfect place like this. And I'm so happy that I found it. This place changed my life and I think it made me a better person as well.
 
Looking all those awards I've won, I really do not think I deserved to win them (maybe except Most Active because I spend embarrassing amount of time here posting and commenting) because I haven't been here as a member for a long time and I feel that other members were more deserving of that because they have defined this place and I admire them so much. They make this place whole. Many of my fellow nominees in different categories were people I already loved when I was just a lurker. To be nominated alongside them was already a huge honor because perhaps they were the true reason I finally joined the forum. 
 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who voted for me in this category or any other category I was nominated. It's heartwarming and sometimes flattering as well some people here were thinking of me while nominating and/or voting for me in those award categories. I'm very grateful for the warm welcome and support I have received since I joined this forum a bit over a year and a half ago. You're all so kind and friendly which is really heartwarming, even the winners of the rudest and dramatic awards are inside all awesome and cool, the pinnacle of the forum's humor and drama - which without I can't really imagine this place. The world leaders should all learn something from you everyone because I feel like this is our happy place which could make this world better. Like, the passion and commitment for this community is really admirable. 
 
Shoutout to the fellow nominees of Lipster Of The Year Award: 
 
Pantene123 - you're so cool, you were truly the highlight of 2024 here. I'll never forget those jaw-dropping moments where we were reading all of these riveting insights on Lana's unreleased music which without the fandom would be so different. Your humor is also great, keep up the good work!
 
Mer - you're so iconic. You're a true superstar of this fandom. I love reading your status updates and your endless support for Taylor Swift is a great example for being loyal fan and ignoring all the haters. Congratulations for all your sweeps, so deserved!
 
Dark Angel - you sweet beautiful soul, I love your enchanting presence here, I admire your love and knowledge for Lizzy Grant, I have learned a lot about Lana from you. 
 
Elle - I can't imagine this place without you. You're the rock of this forum. A goddess. You've carried this place for almost 10 years and your work is worth all the admiration. It's an honor for Lana to have a fan like you, I really hope you'll meet her this year as well! Congratulations for your deserved sweeps as well!
 
Also, some highlights and stunning moments of those awards - I'm so fucking happy for venice biotch, she came and swept the awards she was truly deserving of. Your designed rats are truly the cultural phenomenon of this site for years to remember. I was rooting for the thread to win since its inception. BethDufreneByTheBayouByYou winning their second consecutive award for Best Username shows how amazingly creative some users can be. I'm so happy that The Stargirl Pinky won the Bartender Award because this whole time they were praying to win this award and when they deservingly won they were so happy, it made me really joyful as well. I'm so happy that DeadSeaOfMercury and Pico Ocean Boulevard won the Underrated Member awards, they're the people I have already admired before actually joining the forum. Ivory Almonds winning their awards was a special moment as well, I can't imagine the site without them. Today, there were so many other winners here as well who truly deserved their winner and runner-up awards, I'm so happy for you. I'm happy for all the people who were nominated as well, these were all deserved and I hope to see you and other people nominated next year too! This speech is getting so long, sorry for being too sentimental sometimes, if I performed this onstage I think I would have been kicked out already, lol. But nevermind, my endless gratefulness and joy is never enough to put into words.
 
I'm honored to share this award with all of the fellow nominees - @Pantene123 @Mer @Dark Angel and @Elle - you were the ones to truly define the community and the forum in 2024. You're all such gorgeous people inside and out, so kind and friendly, also with great taste in music. All of your posts were worth waiting and reading for. I love you all so much to the moon & back and I'm sending all of my kisses and hugs to you.
 
Thank you. ♡
 

Primavera Sound Porto 2024 got robbed tbh, one of her best vocal performances this year, the BtD performance was also filled with iconic moments , the delivery during the COCC outro and her energy overall was fire
Though Coachella Weekend 1 Entrance and her singing Ocean Eyes and Video Games with Billie were historic moments so I can give her credit for that
 
Zodiac winning as it should now leek the unedited HQ in honor of that
And @Embach
Lipster of the year, I know that's right
And welcome back legend @plastiscguy

Do Not Cum (Referring to Henry, who is not cumming)

I think rbfy shouldn’t be some kind of single. Only because the fans are gonna make it a whole thing about her husband. Just have it on the album 

The Right Person will Spay and Neuter their pets

So I’m not sure if this’ll ring true for others so much if at all, but ever since the blue banisters album. It personally felt like the music kinda transcended from music to a more, immersive and complimentary status for me. 
which is different from being able to relate to the music like how it is typically, but idk, it’s like a switch turned on, and the music honestly just felt like an accompanying guide or extension/ part of me with how it came about and it’s strangely enough, poorly described soundscape. For me, it actually made the music a lot more real and immersive bc it helped bring about more of it’s meanings and paralleled a kind of hope in bleakness in a sense. 
 
Another reason why I’m not worried 

some of you guys think that an artist has to change their sound every album to show musical growth when the greatest musicians of all time never left their original genre 
every music critic talks about how lana is always reinventing herself and how her work only gets better album by album, a&w was literally considered the BEST song of the 2020s so what are you guys longing for? i feel like this fandom has this nostalgia for something that is NOT coming back, just get over it and appreciate her work that she loves to share with us instead of complaining and remembering her older stuff every single time 

Guys, I don't know if you had noticed this already but this morning I checked Lana's followings on Instagram because I noticed that as of today, she followed 4 new accounts (for comparsion, yesterday she was following 649 accounts and today she's following 653 accounts). And I was scrolling the list to find something I hadn't seen before and I noticed that she might have recently followed Newport JAZZ Festival which is happening on August 1st-3rd, 2025. 
 
She was following Newport Folk Festival before, like since 2023 because she performed there the same year but I have never seen her follow Newport Jazz Festival. Unless, she was actually following it before but as chronically online as I am, also as someone who has checked her following lists like a lot, I have never seen her following that account before.
 
So it might hint she's performing there. Unless, she's just interested in it in general. But interesting is that it's a JAZZ festival, when it turns out that The Right Person Will Stay has hints of jazz as well!

I hope the album has a sea shanty 

Luigi Mangione 

The right person will stay is cuntier than The Right Person Will Stay

These are the cuntiest album concepts I’ve ever seen. Obsessed with them wow 

If there's going to be an interlude, pls let it not be [insert name]'s Interlude. We just want more like Burnt Norton and The Trio.

Miss doing nothing the most of all

i really hope that “has anyone else died for you” is a track cause the title would be so cunt 

Just drop the fenway intro as a single and move onto the psychedelic surf rock trip hop masterpiece we deserve already

I’ve gotten so tired of my music that I’m listening to classical pieces now.
 
lana come onnnnnn
 

I see you but i think Ocean Blvd really gave us a nice diversity, we got some ballads, some beats and even some gospel. I think it’s probably my favorite album right now so for me an acoustic album would feel nice and refreshing after the sounds we got from Ocean  But I think we should just wait and see what she has for us, that “Mirror” song really sounds promising and maybe she has something else with that style on the album 

Why do yall hate tough i like it it may be cs i love rap tho 

Finally I see a good response to Chemtrails 
I have lived up to this moment...
I really look forward to the rebirth of the ideas touched upon on this album 
 
And I pray to Lana to release a warm and bright song about friendship, for some reason I miss it so much in her discography 

I'm glad someone considered this. Chemtrails is simple, short, but it works and is very round. I find it very interesting. It has this COVID-era seclusion feel, like if you were taking refuge on a ranch, you put it on at night and listen to it while you watch a fireplace crackle. Lana had been flirting with country for a while now, but she didn't feel ready to embrace the genre once and for all and sound like a caricature.
 
So, I like Chemtrails, because, even though it is predominantly folk, it has this nod to the country in a safe way, without forcing it to make Lana have an identity that is not hers. So I was excited about Lasso because it felt like an extension of Chemtrails. Now, I don't know what he's really going to be. I only know one thing: saying that it will be bad because it resembles Chemtrails is untrue.

Same. I get the feeling a lot of fans don't listen to it front-to-back but every time I do I'm always taken aback at how tranquil, calming, and peaceful of a listen it is. It's a special album to me. Lots of travel, existentialism, longing...
 
I get the feeling TRPWS is going to be in the same vein, honestly, and I'm okay with that (pls keep Tough AWAY). Honestly, I've been pretty shocked at how much dust Lana pays the Chemtrails album considering it seems to be the most fitting to where she is in her life currently (LMLYLAW, Wild at Heart, NAWWAL, etc). 
 
Long story short, I think Chemtrails was marred by the COVID era and the turbulence Lana was feeling in her life at the time. Question for the Culture and the vitriol she was met with couldn't actually be further from the sound and vibe of the album we received. 

Honestly I'm not getting my hopes up for the album in general right now as it's very far away and could even possibly be delayed!!!
 
For now, I'm just gonna take small steps and focus on the first single, which I hope comes soon before I lose my sanity!!!

blue banisters gave us some bops so i won’t lose hope  but who said that? i thought we didn’t know anything about the album yet
