Wait wait wait, hold on... We might be onto something here...! Which film director was it?

yes!! taran tacticals trains hollywood artists for movie projects and stuff like these, it isn’t just a place to have fun, i think she’s planning to do something really different and cool 

Henry.. 

 

OH MY GOD, that’s why she followed a film director yesterday 

Gotta confess this country music discourse isn’t really my thing. Henry just needs to be released cus I literally have no idea how to keep this country music speak all lively. 
 
I’m sure Henry’ll be a beautiful song. Give us something Ms Lana. Probs by the end of the month 

what kind of beats do you expect from Lana’s version of country?

To be fair, Lana is quite shy/introverted and we didn’t really see her moving around much to interact with others during the ceremony. She probably just wanted to stay seated and keep to herself. Also, Joni’s performance was right after Lana lost SOTY and by the end of the night after Lana lost AOTY too, she probably just wanted to get out of there since the whole experience was probably overwhelming for her, even if she did enjoy it. + meeting your idol/inspiration can also be intimidating - when I ran into Lana at the mall, there was almost a moment where I wasn’t going to approach her because I was so nervous and didn’t want to bother her. Of course in the end I did end up speaking to her, and perhaps Lana did speak to Joni too but they just weren’t photographed. I hope they did interact though since Joni is such a big inspiration to Lana! x

Oh thank god someone else caught onto this. When I first saw her post I was mystified that she chose that moment to sentimentally highlight, and then I turned on the sound and laughed out loud. It says so much about how she actually sees through the bullshit (at least in retrospect). 

I think she should piggyback off the hype from this past week and introduce the world to Henry

She’s 38 years old I don’t think she keeps a toy gun in her bedroom lol 

"i've got guns in the summertime"
y'all thought she was kidding? 

I just realised that we basically almost had a country MV in 2021 
 

I don't want a half-originals, half-covers album. If she has to, then make it a double record - one album originals, one album covers. 

Viewership was apparently up 34% from last year's Grammys I wonder why. Couldn't be because of Lana's enormous fanbase no has to be something else. Makes me happy that she won all those Grammys cuz if she hadn't then I might've thought she was just being used for ratings 🥰

Country was definitely coming—next manifestation needs to be full on jazz. I’m here for the country album though. She never disappoints and always makes something her own so I know it will be very Lana lol. 
 
thinking about the release date I think/hope we are good. She said they’ve been working on this for 4 years. So I would think most of it is done and maybe over the last few months has been wrapping it up. So in essence should be ready to press now or next couple of months for the September release. Fingers crossed. 

I really do think this is one of the greatest albums of all time, and it's legacy will grow tremendously as time passes. She pulled off such a complex vision so beautifully. It is an extremely thought provoking and profound album, while also managing to be fun, thrilling, and full of surprises. A tour de force 

I’ve been listening to Let The Light In on repeat all night and woke up this morning doing the same. So far I’m two hours in this morning— send help!
 
another note, our favorite grammy nominated album becomes a winner today. 

At the end of the Day Lana's continued success, influence and noted inspiration from current artists means more than any award decided via internal politics.
 
It's kinda more iconic at this point to be regarded as an artist who has been so unjustly shut out by such erroneous or conspiratory decisions because her impact and artistry cannot be denied than to be any old hack with 1 Grammy to their name.
That video she posted years back about being behind a brick wall and talent comes to mind.

All of this… and it was really really well written btw. Honestly wish I could share to socials lol  because you lay it out! Fuck the industry and the people who don’t get her honestly. She’s a legend, a true legacy artist, one in a million. There’s nobody like her in our generation and there won’t be again. 

I read the bow for her hair was custom made so I don’t think this was a last minute decision. 

People wanting Lana to go on some rant because she didn’t win a Grammy is so….

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.

I think she knew after not winning earlier in the day; I don’t mean literal spoilers, but knew in her heart. I thought so the moment I saw her outfit… this is just speculation, but I don’t think that was her planned dress. It looked to me like she chose to dress, not like the spotlight winner (which she DID dress as for the gala the night before, when she still thought she might win), but like the mysterious eccentric genius, the artists’ artist, too cool for a mainstream award but there to support her basic bee friend. I really liked Taylor bringing her on stage; that was right. Lana IS the living legend. 

Idk if anyone shared this yet but I just saw a picture of Lana's nails and they're so pretty! She was definitely going for a Black Swan/White Swan thing and it also makes me think of Swan Song

She really has them GAGGED, it's so satisfying to witness
 A win in itself
