The album title is a statement not a question. She knew the answer and she’s not asking for your opinion. She’s telling you there’s a tunnel. 
 

A question mark would be serving grade school teacher. Thankfully, Lana knew better.

the lack of punctuation of the album title still irks me  i actually really love the sentence case because it is a sentence, and the Blvd abbreviation is quirky and cute, but whyyyy on earth didn’t she put a question mark at the end and call it Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd?  especially considering the random and unnecessary exclamation point in NFR’s title

It more accurately reflects the contemporary vernacular.

 

Imagine getting a random text from your best friend:

 

”Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd”

 

This generally contextualises her more stream of consciousness style of writing in recent albums (which is a modernist style of writing, modernist as in the first half of the 20th century and the end of the 19th century) with more contemporary imagery (a quite post-modern M.O.) and sensibilities, which is what she’s been doing all along really, she’s just making it more and more her own.

 

Grammatically, if not rhetorically, it can also function more as a statement than a question. You ask a question, but you also pose a question, as in, sometimes it’s not a literal inquiry, but rather a sort of stance (quite literally a rhetorical question). I text someone I miss a random question about something, not because I actually want to know, but I want an excuse to talk to them, or Hell, confront them.

 

I’m a language nerd lol

that’s what i thought, just needed a confirmation 

[Xenoblade 3 2,065]

Fan accounts posting release dates a head of time as fact are annoying af. I don’t understand why they’re doing it when there’s no official announcement made or anything. Taking every insider words as gospel, fabricating their own fictional stories of songs, posting unofficial release dates. Oh, it’s really bad out there.

I’m happy her team pulled the release date because these accounts have NO RIGHT to post the release date before Lana did. Also not defending her team because they should have done a better job preventing leaks in the first place. I don’t see Taylor’s release dates leaking. Her team runs a tight ship.

 

At the same time, these fan accounts need to simmer down. At least plaster a big “RUMOR” warning in front of posts.

wait the delay isn't confirmed? then why tf are we freaking out? i cant keep up with yall
