Was looking through Billboard's Youtube channel because they've posted a bunch of new content for this, and seriously wtf. They have interviews with every winner on the red carpet, and they also have three "series" of videos with the winners (INSPIRE, What Drives, and interviews after they were announced as nominees) and Lana is the only one in each case who doesn't have a video. 

 

They each have one of these:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did she just skip everything, or did they not ask her, or did they just not upload her content for some reason?

@@brooklynbaby91 I would guess that she refused to participate, just like her BBC Maida Vale live performance which she refused to have filmed.

Lana was incredible that night, proud of my mom.

She prob skipped it but showed up to accept the award. I don't blame her for skipping that shit, if she did.

[Lad 8,801]

Anyway at least we know her answers for INSPIRE and What Drives would be SpaceX and Tesla

I feel like I am the only one who thinks she spoke really well, acceptance speeches are always a minute long, like, if not shorter. And she looked incredible

Lana was there nice and early with everyone else, spent a lot of time signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans outside (only her and Tony Bennett spent time both before and after the show

with the fans, everyone else was too snobbish and above their fans I guess to even bother) and she was on the red carpet.

And it was a wonderful warm day, hot weather for NY in December, so the others had no excuse not to give fans some time.

Just another reason Lana is special. (If one watches award shows btw, not everyone after accepting the award goes backstage. Many times you see winners go back down to their table instead of backstage).

The object after all is not to get publicity, but to humbly accept an award.

(Reminds me that after they died, one heard how much charity work both Elvis and Sinatra had done (two other trailblazers in the past, though there weren't trailblazer awards, and two others that had mega problems with the press/media themselves, both being unique male artists), neither of whom did it in the media, they just did it from the heart in private because the object is not

doing it to make the world think you are something special, but to do it because you want to do it.)
