Why do we have to compare her to other artists? Why should we compare her to anyone? She’s extremely unique and doesn’t follow most pop culture rules.

I completely agree. lanas voice is especially unique and there is nobody you can actually compare her too!

Some of these nasty reviews are making me so sad. To me, Lana is a star akin to older generations—when musicians didn’t spend months training, both physically and vocally, for a show or tour, but showed up as they were, just to sing, without all of the fanfare. I absolutely appreciate spectacles like the Eras tour and Beychella, etc., those are masterful feats of artistry and intense preparation, but I just don’t feel like that’s what Lana’s after. Obviously I don’t know her personally, but to me, she’s more of a songwriter and poet who probably prefers a normal, delicate, relaxed existence (exemplified by her appearing at random garden stores and coffee shops along the California coast). I think she probably still battles stage fright, and I’m really amazed and proud that she signed up to do these two shows. After writing music so different from—and changing the sound of—the industry over the past 10 years+, it’s really cool to see her finally get her flowers as the headliner and do it in her own way. Maybe a massive arena-style stage isn’t the kindest venue for her talents and unique energy, but she did it in her own way, with heart and absolute style. I’m proud to be a fan and it’s not surprising to see these reviews (ahem, Guardian) revert to their 2014 tone.

oh.. yeah that part definitely need a rebrand 

[NikoGo 60,796]

Both dresses are gorgeous but I still don’t understand the point of changing, just to wear the last dress for a song and a half

[never2heaven 6,761]

not lanas performance- about blurs!

 

yes the crowd was shit and I can't believe they didnt know ANYTHING but he was making it so much worse for them by continuously asking the crowd to sing when they clearly didnt know anything oh god that is a tough watch

2. Without You

3. West Coast

4. Doin’ Time

5. Summertime Sadness

6. Cherry

7. Pretty When You Cry

8. Brooklyn Baby (instead of Ride)

9. Art Deco (instead of Born To Die)

10. Cinnamon Girl (instead of Bartender)

11. Coachella - Interlude (instead of Burnt Norton)

12. Chemtrails Over The Country Club

13. Say Yes To Heaven (instead of The Grants)

14. Ocean Blvd

15. Happiness is a butterfly (instead of Norman fucking Rockwell)

16. Thunder (instead of Arcadia)

17. Candy Necklace (with Jon Batiste)

18. ocean eyes (with Billie)

19. Video Games (with Billie)

20. Margaret (with Jack; instead of hope is a dangerous thing)

21. A&W

22. Young And Beautiful

23. Taco Truck x VB (closer instead of Young And Beautiful)

like I said, both are gorgeous but I feel like jack should have been the first guest brought out and she could have changed more mid set so there was more time to admire the second dress

I like this, but I think the Ride monologue/Ride is a really important inclusion. The power of Lana talking about how her dreams were shattered while headlining (one of) the biggest festivals is too powerful to get rid of 

 

I’d also keep the outro because it’s very great Gatsby and the trio is produced by her ex
