Horrifying to think that given her timelines and behavior for previous releases when we finally do get word from her about this album it's going to be a several week wait before whatever she announces materializes. 

 

I kinda wonder if something happened behind the scenes because surely she planned to have something out in time for Stagecoach? Unless she plans to finally do a Chemtrails/BB focused setlist (praying to finally have a live performance of Thunder or IYLDWM). Can you imagine how pissed people would be if she did her typical BTD highlights set at Stagecoach lmao

I'm pretty sure something happened to Lasso before it became TRPWS, probably the label or even herself, dk. Remember that some artists have had problems with labels before because they didn't release the projects, much less approve them too.

I feel like Lana was totally ready to release lasso last year but something happened 🫤😶 eitherway its a lana thing to do

I agree--probably a combination of things, some we know about and one or more we don't. I have a feeling that the "Gee--so many artists are releasing country albums right now" was a ruse or obfuscation, a face-saving measure--which is fair.

when she actually doesnt have no new single release before the Stagecoach, the stagecoach setlist is actually just 13 tracks from The Right Person Will Stay live debut  - nothing from previous eras and the whole album get a surprise release like right after her set is over then what?

We cry tears of joy!

I still think Lana should do a surprise double album tho.

Maybe that’s what “Lana Del Rey Featuring A Very Special Country Set” on the Stagecoach IG post refers to (post is from Feb.)

doubt, Lana has had a habit of announcing projects that either never manifest or are extremely delayed since 2012

she doesnt think before she announces things, leaving Ben/Interscope to call her up and telling her a release is not possible with the timeline she has in mind OR

she has some broad ideas and thinks shell get the whole project done by the deadline required to release it on date X, and fails to meet it cause things happen

 

Blue Banisters e.g. was definitely an example of the first reason

Lasso/TRPWS is an example of reason 2

It can be  worse, something like...

 

"Bartender" (Country Version) and Breaking Up Slowly (Countrier Version)

"The right person will stay" - Official Music Video

 

Camera Shots:

-Fade in to the hum of a ceiling fan, its blades casting fractured shadows on a peeling wallpaper. The camera pans down to carnelian gemstones glinting on a dusty windowsill, refracting amber light.

-Cut to Lana in a vintage white sundress, standing in a field of overgrown grass, clutching wilted magnolias. A rusted pickup truck sits behind her, half-swallowed by weeds. The scene is washed in sepia, with carnelian-red cursive text fading in: “The right person will stay”

-Slow zoom out to reveal a faded neon motel sign that says “Paradise Lost” buzzing in the humid dusk. A rusty Chevrolet idles beneath magnolia trees.

-Distant cicadas, the crackle of an unseen radio tuning into a warped country ballad.

-Super 8 footage flickers between Lana sitting alone on a chipped green bench (reference to Forrest Gump) and Lana walking barefeet in a barn with her lover.

-Slow-motion close-up of strawberry juice bleeding through a lace tablecloth.

-On the bench, her cowboy boots are scuffed with red polish as she traces a rusted promise ring

-In the barn, she wears lace gloves stained with strawberry juice as she slow dances with her lover.

-Flashback: The couple in a dim motel room. He braids her hair on the bed; a carnelian necklace dangles from the bedpost.

-Present-day Lana finds the necklace in her Chevrolet’s glovebox. She presses it to her chest as the camera pulls back to reveal a hawk perched on the motel sign.

-A storm rolls in. Lana stands in the field, drenched. A pickup truck’s headlights flicker on behind her.

-The camera spirals above Lana in a bird-eye view as her lover runs into frame to take her out of the rain and into his truck.

-The Chevrolet’s engine sputters to life and transitions to Lana driving past the green bench, now empty. She's wearing a new diamond ring and her carnelian necklace, smiling.

-Slow pan across the old motel room: wilted flowers, a messy bed, the ceiling fan still spinning. The bedpost is now bare.

-Final shot: The hawk lands on the pickup truck. The screen bleeds to sepia as the hum of cicadas fades into the ceiling fan’s dying whir.

-Credits: In the background, low-opacity shots of Lana's wedding fade from one another until the cicadas and fan fade to silence as the last credits roll

 

Aesthetic Details:
Color Palette: Sepia tones, carnelian-red accents, and mossy greens.

Transitions: Film burns, Super 8 grain, and slow dissolves.

Fashion: Lana’s white sundress yellows at the hem; her gloves fray. Her lover wears a denim jacket with an American flag on the back.

Why do I feel like the “very special country set” is actually all covers, that’s why it’s “very special”

I think this is the most likely scenario. She’ll probably have some country guests, too. Nikki for sure. And she’ll play Bartender 💯

That's what I think as well because last year she was covering Unchained Melody with a country singer at last year's Stagecoach

[DCooper 37,728]

I suspect in no particular order:

 

Take me Home, Country Roads

Unchained Melody

Stand By Your Man

Henry, Come On

The Prettiest Girl in Country Music

The Right Person Will Stay

Video Games

Ride

Hey Blue Baby (maybe)

I Must be Stupid for Being so Happy (maybe)

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd

Chemtrails over the Country Club

+ a couple random guests and songs

Nikki is performing that same night on that same stage, so is Sierra Ferrell. So “Prettiest Girl in Country Music” will be on the setlist.
