she told me love was gonna come out in February and then early March (with the exact dates but i can't remember), she kept delaying cause the album wasn't ready 

Did she talk about other singles too? Or only these 2?

BAR was probably going to be 2nd single and the title track, she decided half way thru the mv shoot to scrap it. the weeknd collab probably finalized around that time and her label was probably much more interested in doing a high budget video for that. i imagine she wanted to use Love to launch everything and BAR as like the second single closer to the album, but when Love leaked early and the album wasn't really ready to be announced they couldn't really do the "big lead single" moment and wanted a weeknd track as the bigger moment to announce the album. but that album campaign changed like every week so who knows

Ugh I really hope that someday we'll get the BAR scrapped video.

Yeha but like with the lip sync and other scenes. There'a apparently a scene where's she's holding a vase.

Let’s not forget our favorite little birdie Stella who basically orchestrated the ”lust for life” part of the entire era and had Johnny blue eyes fired

and honestly her most unfortunate one.. had everything gone perfect i feel like this era could’ve been so much bigger. and maybe we would’ve gotten that b side album

Oh we do have the White Mustang but I really mean the original cut. I'm sure there's a lot of extra footage they just couldn't use because of lip synching and the white mustang recut is just... what was salvageable.

Also; Ultraviolence\freak original video. No surprise the pool scenes were so gorgeous that she actually recycled it twice.

It's because she met Jack but we got NFR so 🤷‍♀️
