Most artists right now are doing pre-recorded performances unless they're going on SNL. It's really not that big of a deal. People always find something to nitpick at with everything Lana does at this point 

[War In My Mind 2,999]

But we knew it wouldnt be a live performance. She just IG lived from a hotel in California and isnt the Colbert show filmed in NYC.

 

ED: if it were california it would be called the afternoon show innit

why did that feel a little bit awkward 

she doesn't belong to a T.V show full of ads she belongs to the musem

That first verse was god tier

[Ultra Violet 19,039]

She looked beautiful though. So many throwbacks to all the times shes worn the iconic side clip in her hair.

She looked amazing and sounded incredible, even better than the album version!

 

But, is it just me or they used the studio acapella for the 2nd chorus and the rest of the song? It sounded exactly like the OG song

 

I was thinking it sounded the same too. Even if it wasn't a real live performance I'm glad that we got one! She really did look amazing.

Idk what everyone is still complaining about, it was obviously going to be prerecorded. She looked and sounded better than ever 

Such a fun and lovely release day we had

I think she chose Arcadia because she wanted to send the message of the song out to America. It's the perfect way for Lana to rise from the ashes tbh 

I feek like she simply chose it cause it's the latest single tbh.

wow great thanks for the pre-filmed performance with no interview or anything personal what so ever

She basically gave us a two hour long interview on Instagram live?? 

[plastiscguy 63,439]

I mean, she sounded great! We can always rip the audio and tag it as a demo if the idea of it being "live" when it "really isn't" is so upsetting to some

now someone pls put that vocal take over the orchestral version ❤️

Plsss you’re acting like she’s added a bunch of autotune and a bunch of stuff so that it could sound perfect.

Let’s be honest, even if she was lip syncing, at least it was a different vocal take bc both versions of Arcadia that we have, don’t sound like that. 

[Vanilla Icy 29,602]

who cares if it was lip synced.. this is only her second televised performance since the snl incident, she's obviously just now gotten comfortable with even being on tv again so let her live

[slenderpup 91]

I hope she's having a good night, she deserves it 

 

Today has been so amazing 

 

I can't wait to get my LDR village shipments

true i guess - but even when the performances are recorded in colbert’s studio, they usually film the show/performance a day in advance. sometimes the morning of. 

[Dark Angel 203,517]

i hope the next live performance is a cardboard cut-out of lana with a speaker behind it blasting the song to spite people who have to nitpick about everything

I don't feel like people are being critical of it being a lip sync, it's a pretty common practice in tv just people observing what they watched 

[Super Movie 51,860]

If it was lipped, then it was clearly lipped over a new, not as processed/edited vocal take. For me, it's one of those things where it's like "who cares?". I'm just glad to see Lana on TV again and enjoying herself while doing it

But that’s the thing, when someone doesn’t meet your expectations, it’s not their fault but yours
