I'm starting to learn how to use Photoshop and had an idea for a Lasso poster this week, put it on my notepad and then did it today.
It took me 2 hours to create it. It's simple but I'm proud of it and I want to know what u guys think of it.

I thought she said "livestream" instead of "life's dream"
 
"tourlyfe" whom

I’m OBSESSED with this caption omg it’s quintessential Lana… 
 
the random beautiful imagery thrown in there between the thank yous and callouts… until I became a shimmering swimming pool… changing my hair to the color of the desert like I wanted.. her life is her poetry fr
 
the part abt them practicing in a cold warehouse lmao after all this time she still loves to act like she’s a struggling indie artist 

The cold warehouse causing her to have laryngitis gives me the same vibe as “I fell out of a tree when I was a child and that’s why I whisper” 
 
also I think her hair the color of the desert is a call out of the location of Coachella (a literal desert) as opposed to a lasso tease 

The casual mention of Tessa lifting her laryngitis remotely took me OUT, that was amazing. 
 
I kind of love when she gets real/messy like this and just gives it to us straight. I’m sure there’s a lot that went into his decision, but Pete departing just a month out is wild, and definitely explains some of the stuff we saw on Weekend 1. But damn, am I even more impressed with Lana, her dancers, the team as a whole, and with her ability to adapt. Big shout out to Emily, like I can’t even imagine the stress she was under the past 37+ days, and the final product was incredible. 
 
edit: Byron’s comment on that post is so sweet. I love their working relationship!

Unsure if this is the right thread but I've created what would be my dream Coachella show.

Mama kudos for saying that, for spilling. Seriously, what a beautiful take, you made me look at the show in a different lens 

I think Billboard were spot on calling her show "perplexing and profound." It was filled with symbolism and details; some were instant and shocking like the epic entrance, others were more obscure or thoughtful like a hologram. I see this show as a happy ending to the Ocean Blvd era and everything that came with it, especially its message -- mortality, fame and loneliness. Lana entered the Coachella field with a caravan of motorcycles, bikers and dolled-up dancers while unreleased "Jealous Girl" played as a trap remix. She graced the audience with her freshly auburn hair, sparkly baby blue dress and an overall elegance and glamour that only she can pull off these days. The stage design, a tall and detailed old mansion with staircases, balconies, plants and everything, was very reminiscent of the Gatsby mansion, as others have pointed out. Her ballerinas and choir singers looked straight out of a 1930s movie or spectacle, while her band members were rocking ties and smoking jackets.
 

 

 
Coincidentially, what's also from the 1930s is a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard in California. The "subway" as it was called, went all the way under Ocean Boulevard and conducted straight to the beach. It was connected to the Jergins Trust Building, a commercial building with over 60 shops, fancy restaurants, casino and theaters where music and dance events were held all the time; all of this during the Golden Age of Hollywood. It was a privileged moment and location that only lasted a few decades as the building was demolished and the tunnel sealed. As we know, on Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, Lana uses this as a metaphor for her fame, beauty, fertility and even her life -- Nothing lasts forever, as she admits in many songs through her discography, but at least she tries to leave a legacy and a purpose behind. She held this big Jazz Age party on the Coachella Stage, where we were all invited to have a great time and appreciate an old-fashioned show; as @yourolllikethunderperfectly stated, "Lana is a star akin to older generations—when musicians didn’t spend months training, both physically and vocally, for a show or tour, but showed up as they were, just to sing, without all of the fanfare." It's all about the beauty and vulnerability of the moment.
 
"Without You", which Lana hasn't sung in 11 years, was chosen as an unexpected yet gorgeous opener. Describing a life of opulence yet feeling unfulfilled, Lana begins narrating the story of the show. It's followed by "West Coast", a song about having to choose between love and a normal life or pursuing a music career. She chooses the latter, proudly singing California anthem "Doin' Time" and later explores nostalgia and goodbye with "Summertime Sadness". Having to run away and following your intuition is a common theme in Lana's recent music, most particularly "Paris, Texas" from Ocean Blvd or "Bare Feet on Linoleum" from Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass. By the time we finish the first half of the show, we've gotten a great glimpse of Lana's early career, with hits and favorites from Born to Die, Ultraviolence and Lust for Life.
 
The second half of the show explored her newer LPs, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Blue Banisters and Ocean Blvd. These albums describe a decaying, modern America; the music turns more stripped-back, sometimes only piano and voice, an uncommon decision for bombastic Coachella. She sings "Arcadia" with passion, a song about how fickle an artist's reputation can be and how critics and journalists can shift the public's perception on them. Special guests are always part of a big party, and Jon Batiste, Billie Eilish and Jack Antonoff joined to play and sing.
 
One of the most out-there things Lana has ever done live, she was absent from the stage during "Hope is a dangerous thing..."; instead, a holographic version of herself was shown singing and spinning, reminiscent of her infamous SNL gig back in 2012. A promotional billboard appeared outside the festival, which read the date of that TV performance as the death of Lana Del Rey. She comes back triumphant with "A&W" and closed with "Young and Beautiful", a very fitting ending to this story. ""Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?", an iconic line that still stands to this day. "I know you will/I'm sure that you will."
 
Gatsby was murdered in the swimming pool of his opulent mansion; you could also say he died for love. Marilyn Monroe, Veronica Lake and Elizabeth Short, whose stories are paid homage to in the "Candy Necklace" music video, all faced the darkness of Hollywood and suffered tragic endings. Lana Del Rey pays homage to them and decides to escape, this time in a caravan of motorcycles, bikers and dolled-up dancers. "Burned into my brain are these stolen images," she sang 100 minutes ago during "Without You". "Nobody warns you before the fall [...] If this is it/I'm signing off," she declared in 2019's "The greatest"; she prefers to keep her memories intact and beautiful, avoiding the decay, the demolishment, the sealing. A jazz rendition of "Young and Beautiful" marks the end of the show and Lana waves the audience while brass players in tuxedos and girls with champagne bottles play and dance over a giant cake. The cherry on top was The Caretaker's "It's just a burning memory" playing the background, making the scene feel somber and thought-provoking, but also dramatic and grand like the end of a movie. The instrumental piece is part of Everywhere at the End of Time, an album about deteriorating mental health and Alzheimer; the fear of being forgotten seems to be a major cause of anxiety for Lana, and I hope she knows she's cementing herself as a legend with each move.

i don’t think ive ever heard anyone say that  in what world is lana churning out songs
 
if anyone needs to take time off, it’s swift 

No it must be a different song

Isn’t she performing it every night on this tour?

She’s never performed Bartender… sad too

I can't stop looking at pics & video edits from every fan account on Instagram.
 
Like SHE (pictured) really just showed up... wtf

@Elle when i typed my analysis (b4 u quoted), this picture came in mind: 

 
which u made me more confident in thinking that these two events occurred in the same day..! Look at those eyebrows.
 

 
btw talking about eyebrows, i really loved that sperm-shaped brows she had in 2010 and summer 2016 (love mv and july 17 2016)

I think you’re onto something, but just a few days before then! I conducted a little Lanailysis and here’s what I found…
In the BTD album shoot taken on July 22nd her nails were pink, but two days earlier on the 20th during her photoshoot with NME her nails were the same blue with white flower designs as seen in this performance video. Before that, she last did a photoshoot on June 11th where her nails were a different shade of blue and without the white flowers (which were drawn on her ring finger on both hands), which narrows this performance closer to July. Also, on October 10th which is the day this performance was originally said to be from, she also had a photoshoot where her nails had black tips. The next day, she had a performance where her nails still had black tips, so she didn’t get them redone between those days. Before these October dates, the last time we saw her was at Glasslands where her nails were also blue, but with a different design than in the video.
So, I conclude that this performance took place sometime in July up until the 21st or 22nd when her nails were redone for the BTD cover shoot. It is also possible that she did this performance, got her nails redone, and then did the BTD shoot all in one day, but it doesn’t seem likely for all of that to get done in just one day. I think it’s more likely she did this a couple days prior. I’ll update the title to reflect this! Xx

On July 20th* 2011, Lana Del Rey had a special performance at The Premises in London, England.

It’s me, hi  JON BATISTE INTERLUDE #1 STAN 
I don’t know there’s something about this interlude that makes me feel like I’m watching a private moment of someone’s life on film. I love so much Lana’s laugh in this and Jon’s singing + the instrumentals might be my favourite of the whole record  I’ve had this interlude on loop all morning 

This Lynchian motorcycle outro…

She said no this isn’t Coachella… it’s a jazz bar and it’s my third show of the night and you’re going to like it

He posted her on his stories too. I guess they are still good friends.
