I have just rewatched the LFL album trailer. We were so lucky back then

it would serve if she made a trailer like lfl for this album and instead recited a fierce monologue about getting her revenge

My friend in Taylorland says physicals were available for order on release day for folklore and evermore, but they didn't ship for months. So the music did not have to be sent to production prior to the release, and all those physical orders were still factored into charts on day one.

 

Doesn't this solve the issue of "due to Lana's unique need for physicals in order to chart, there can be no surprise digital-only release"?

 

Therefore:

 

Global digital release July 4. Full vinyl/CD selection available for pre-order on July 4. #1 chart debut. Vinyls ship in time for Halloween.

 

She's free to keep writing, recording, adding, and deleting all-new songs up until midnight on the 3rd.

This is exactly what she did for Lust for Life. She didn’t finish writing/recording the record until June 9th 2017 (and then the final mixes/masters likely weren’t done until a few weeks later) and then she had a digital release on July 21st with vinyls not shipping until September 29th. And not that it matters to the art itself, but she still got a #1 in the UK and on the Billboard US chart, which is an extra perk for the label and her commercial success! So I would love a similar situation this time around

I wouldn't surprised if she will make surprise release on Sunday. That she changed tracklist doesn't mean that she change lately. She could this idea in head and her notebook from long time ago and she submit now. But she could also adding tracks week before release (Taylor recorded "happiness" week before "evermore" was released).

well he never flat-out said it's on the album, but he tweeted some lyrics with a smiley emoji and a little bit after he said something like "okay, you win this time, just don't expect anything just because i tweet some lyrics" and we think that "you win this time" confirms that thunder is on the album

what if lana is starting to punish us for all the leaks and LDR8 is just the 3 singles + 12 already leaked songs

I woke up. I had a dream. I am serious 

 

Lana said "the album is coming . Be patient. It will drop on the expected date. It will have alot of oceanic vibes and moonlight vibes. It will be a night time album."

 

 

And then I saw a publication reporting about the release of her album..

I dreamed in 7th grade that Justin Bieber came to my school, took a picture with me and followed me on Instagram. Guess what? It never happened.
