You are fucking 100% spot on.

 

Lana doesn't "play the game". That's why a lot of us thought it was odd that she actively campaigned for Ocean Blvd (at the urging of others it seems?), inspired by the goodwill she'd been receiving, just to ultimately be slapped in the face by the powers that be.

 

Her punishment, right? Well, no, because she benefits both ways. She doesn't have to ever do SHIT for the Grammys again, and she'll still be incredibly successful, innovative, subversive, and self-maintained... all of that without being some cookie cutter industry shrill trying to impress the industry bigwigs. Isn't she the #2 most streamed female artist on Spotify currently? She's quite literally the 2nd most prolific and successful female artist out there right now. And she did it without being watered down, or playing it safe. 

 

If she wants to say "fuck it" and go even more gloves off now, well... We ride at dawn! She's a genius. And she'll be fine without a stupid trophy given to her by Boomers who never understood her (or tried to) anyway. Fuck 'em. She's a true rebel, and rebels are rarely rewarded easily by those who have played it safe their entire lives.

Hit the nail on the head

There's a lesson in this folks " Trust No One" , the Grammys used her for ratings , Antonoff put her in that Bleaches songs ( not on his control that she lost ) , but don't bend over backwards too much for others that you end up second place while they win over you.

There's no universe in which A&W is not song of the year/decade/millenium.

[gothphetamine 1,123]

I have to say I do really like the fact that Taylor brought her up on stage and shouted her out and it’s really nice that she’s always paying homage to her and respecting her. You can tell she genuinely adores Lana. Also the hair fixing moment and them holding hands was just 

[Pink Flamingo 17,160]

Lana winning a Grammy in this edition would've been the cherry on top of the pie cus it almost felt like they were celebrating women in music. n e ways fuck the grammys and the mfs who voted 

[Embach 44,834]

I'm loving her look more and more. It's like Honeymoon if it was goth

[honeymoon is alive 21,898]

2023 was literally her year. it’s sad these old voters don't realize how important she is 

[Embach 44,834]

 I think it has been shared already but yeah, that's so cute

her hairstylist called the look “vintage goth coquette” i think

[SuperMegaStan 10,023]

all i know is that she will always come back stronger than the last time. UV, NFR, OB are prime examples. let's manifest that with LASSO era

[PARADIXO 33,057]

I'm really disappointed because, just like most of you guys, I was so confident she was taking home at least one award. I know it's a competition and I don't want Lana to be a victim but this is all so unfair. Everyone was getting their awards, and nothing for Lana? Who was second best selling woman in the world, even more than the people she lost against? Who had one of the most monumental, critically applauded albums of the 2020s? Who didn't stop making the news for her magnetic performances at some of the most important festivals in the world? Who had the most talked-about album of the entire year? 

 

Midnights was the Best Pop Vocal Album, why give it the AOTY too? What Was I Made For won Best Song Written for Visual Media, the category it totally deserved as it was, well, the best song written for visual media of the bunch? How does that song reflect 2023 as Song of the Year, and not A&W with its actually thought-provoking lyrics?

 

Boygenius for Best Alternative Music Album; I know The Record was acclaimed too, but in what world Ocean Blvd wasn't the alternative album of the year? The one that's actaully left-field, deeply conceptual, with multiple sounds, instruments, dynamics and lyrics that actually represent the alternative side of music; topics that aren't talked about, that are feared by most, and not as explored as they should. Why give This Is Why Best Alternative Song, when its parent album won Best Rock Album? Couldn't they, really, give anything to Lana?

 

If this is a popularity contest, yes they all deserved... Miley, SZA and everyone else; but 2023 was undoubtedly Lana's popularity peak, and it only seems to rise. How, seriously how wasn't she awarded for that? What does she have to do to have this level of mainstream recognition? She doesn't need it, of course, as she's a critic darling, a festival darling, a GP darling... everyone loves her. She hasn't reached the tip of the "music industry" iceberg, but does she really need to? Prime TV, the Grammys, the Oscars... maybe her fate really is to be a trailblazer, watch all of her disciples come and go, grab the gold and the applause, but she will remain strong and influential, discussed and forever relevant.

 

I love you Lana, and I love you Ocean Blvd; others are thankful for seeing their favorite artists reach #1 and undeservedly break Grammy records; I personally am thankful for experiencing the music, for being part of this global movement that is Lana Del Rey, driven by her pure talent and timeless songwriting.

 

By the way, she looked breathtaking.

I love that Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Jay-Z all basically said fuck the grammys on stage

[ultrabanisters 45,982]

i am obviously disappointed and it would have been great for her to win we all knew deep down how much of a scam the grammys actually are, they were obviously going to give it to swiffer and hillbillie

Lana (5), Olivia Rodrigo (6) and Jon Batiste (6) were the most nominated artists without a single win at the Grammys 2024.

[Embach 44,834]

Lasso next year or two gonna sweep  Or maybe some other projects or songs or collabs. Maybe a new original soundtrack too, so she could win an Oscar too  I know that Scammys are fucked up and corrupt but like...wouldn't it be nice for her if she just wins one day!??!?!

Jon snubbed too omg

In 2014, Cedric Gervais won Best Remix with Summertime Sadness; Lana was not awarded for this.

In 2024, Taylor Swift won Album of the Year, which includes a Lana feature, but again Lana was not awarded for this.

If they didn't change that goddamn rule she would've been nominated for AOTY three times this year. So fucked up

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,411]

This is just so unfair, disrespectful and disappointing towards Lana and I am so sad for her. But imo it was great that she got a shout out from Taylor and Jack and kinda from Billie too (she said that every song on that list was crazy good). And I am not the biggest Taylor fan but it was cute that she wanted Lana to be on the stage and gave her a little moment. Sure it was awkward a bit but imagine Taylor and Jack left her alone at the table, I am sure she would have gotten some hate for that too. And I mean Lana is a featured artist on Midnights as well and I am sure Taylor had good intentions.

I still can't find a logical reason why Paramore and Boygenius won over Lana in the alt categories and I don't think Midnights deserved AOTY and A&W definitely deserved SOTY. But in the end it's not the artists to blame for but the voters in the grammy comitee. They clearly don't like her for whatever reason and the voters comment mentioning SNL sadly said it all. I just hope Lana, knows how beloved she is, that is she doing insane streaming numbers, that she paved the way and that we all proud of her and her art and that she is truly ahead of time. I hope she stops caring about the Grammys bc they clearly do not deserve her at all but yeah she deserved to get a Grammy more than anyone else it is long overdue. Literally talked to some friends this morning about this which are more like casual listeners and they were shocked and in disbelief when I told them that Lana never won a Grammy. But luckily there is so much important things out there than having a Grammy but for sure it would have been a nice credit.

With that being said stream the true album of the year and of our hearts: Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd
