i tried to edit it but, yeah, that's impossible  but on the other one posted today, i can definitely make out some titles and i'm convinced that last one is trans am

[That Venice Bitch 28,150]

This is like the Zodiac movie

 

Wait… 

[Veinsineon 76,828]

Unrelated but the art behind her in that photo is gorgeous. While we’re snooping someone should find what the piece is!

 

 

Also my sources have revealed that even prior to writing the tentative tracklist on that notepad, the finalized idea was already jotted down and pinned up on the wall behind her!! We were looking at the wrong paper all along lipsters!! Let’s see if we can crack THIS code now…

We won!!!!! I can see sugary sweet.

We all know that photo of that paper where she wrote Trans-Am. I have theory...what if Trans-Am isn't a song but maybe it was a title for the album? Like maybe at first it was Tropico and later she had thoughts of renaming it as Trans-Am? Or maybe this was the Trans-Am session and the previois session was called Tropico with all the songs? There's also a white paper next to it, maybe someone can filter it and find songs out

Well obviously but if you put strong filters on it you can see the "pen marks" from behind

no

untouchable fine is starry eyed, hollywood, jfk, bb demo and angels forever, also some other stuff were leaked alongside those, so it’s this:

 

jfk, hollywood, starry eyed, will you still love me (y&b demo) - paradise

 

angels forever, bb demo - tropico/ultraviolence

 

tv in black and white - btd 

 

then jfk version we have was re considered for tropico on its early stages, and hollywood unleaked version was reworked in 2013 

omg so the version we already have of JFK was the one considered for tropico? where are the drums and the guittars...
