Lmfaoooo

Inspired by @Veinsineon Courtney used to be cool. I like Hole. I think Celebrity Skin is a brilliant album. But not anymore. Not after TODAY. https://consequence.net/2024/04/courtney-love-taylor-swift-not-important/ I mean imagine saying that ^ about your friend. That is just plain mean. Lana once lent Courtney her entire house so she could recover from whatever the fuck addiction she had at that particular time. Fuck HER ETA: also she's just really, really wrong. Even if the Country Roads cover was the worst cover that ever covered, it doesn't negate the artist's entire body of work. She of all people should realise this. ETA2: also saying Taylor "isn't important" is actual brain rot. Even if you despise her and her music, she absolutely IS important, she literally contributes to a country's actual economy when she tours. Important =/= having to like her music or like her.

A representative from Interscope has sent me a picture of Lana’s Coachella billboard that’s now up! I wonder what this means… the SNL reference… the religious (TJF) undertones… I’m so curious… x

The casual mention of Tessa lifting her laryngitis remotely took me OUT, that was amazing. I kind of love when she gets real/messy like this and just gives it to us straight. I’m sure there’s a lot that went into his decision, but Pete departing just a month out is wild, and definitely explains some of the stuff we saw on Weekend 1. But damn, am I even more impressed with Lana, her dancers, the team as a whole, and with her ability to adapt. Big shout out to Emily, like I can’t even imagine the stress she was under the past 37+ days, and the final product was incredible. edit: Byron’s comment on that post is so sweet. I love their working relationship!

having a new female tour manager could change a lot, so let's see how this influences her upcoming shows (for the good )

My predictions: same setlist except slightly different guests thats it

2010 2024 somethings never change

The day is almost here…

It may be photographed by Neil Krug, as he was the focus of their Spring/Summer 2023 issue & has photographed other covers for the magazine over the years -

omg she looks straight out of 2016

She’s gonna spend all night editing this caption only to delete it all and just leave “thanks x” after the 7th edit huh

she really said fuck you pete and wanted us all to know

I got Barricade 😭!!!!!

Before I can even share my thoughts, I still need to recover from the Hope is a Dangerous Thing performance. That had me bawling. I'm sure a lot of you know how much that song means to me. She portrayed it perfectly.. because sometimes when you truly are hopeless, you feel like a shell of yourself... a ghost... a withering whisper in the wind... just like a hologram. Perfect. Quick thoughts on the rest - she looked absolutely radiant. Hair, makeup, outfit, everything perfect. Once she got the opening nerves out of her, her vocals were beautiful too. Lots of emotion on Arcadia. The pole dance during Candy Necklace was iconic. The two songs with Billie were just so incredible I don't quite have words for that either except that I would absolutely kill to be in Billie's position where my favourite artist is not only singing my song, but is letting me sing her signature song with her. What an honour. Anyway. Need to pull it together a little bit more because Hope has destroyed me and I will be unreachable for the rest of the weekend as I have an existential crisis xx

she's not blonde edit: WE WONN SHE MAY SITLL BE BLONDE

the absolute silence in this thread is killing me not even an angry comment

Omg the full version of this pic? Also.. I cant help but wonder if this is a drawing of the Lasso cover like the OB ones..

45 gorgeous HQ pics -

Wow. This is an incredible moment. Imagine singing your song with the artist who inspired you.. and then her signature song with her too. I would die if this ever happened to me. Wowowowow no words. Absolutely incredible x

A peek at Lana’s stage design… I think this pretty much confirms Billie as a guest as it features the same balcony she was seen soundchecking on yesterday… x

“let’s go” (She also used Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind as an audio for this post)

Lana is absolutely a croquette. Her style is very much aligned with being a fried ball of potatoes and filling like vegetables. I have never seen her eat a croquette, but I have reason to believe, with several facts and evidence that I have been meticulously collecting over the past half decade, that she would eat one or had one at some point.

I have a feeling this book is going to be VERY expensive and EXTREMELY limited😭

Maybe she's just bitter about this

What a weird thing to decide to end a friendship over

I think Billboard were spot on calling her show "perplexing and profound." It was filled with symbolism and details; some were instant and shocking like the epic entrance, others were more obscure or thoughtful like a hologram. I see this show as a happy ending to the Ocean Blvd era and everything that came with it, especially its message -- mortality, fame and loneliness. Lana entered the Coachella field with a caravan of motorcycles, bikers and dolled-up dancers while unreleased "Jealous Girl" played as a trap remix. She graced the audience with her freshly auburn hair, sparkly baby blue dress and an overall elegance and glamour that only she can pull off these days. The stage design, a tall and detailed old mansion with staircases, balconies, plants and everything, was very reminiscent of the Gatsby mansion, as others have pointed out. Her ballerinas and choir singers looked straight out of a 1930s movie or spectacle, while her band members were rocking ties and smoking jackets. Coincidentially, what's also from the 1930s is a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard in California. The "subway" as it was called, went all the way under Ocean Boulevard and conducted straight to the beach. It was connected to the Jergins Trust Building, a commercial building with over 60 shops, fancy restaurants, casino and theaters where music and dance events were held all the time; all of this during the Golden Age of Hollywood. It was a privileged moment and location that only lasted a few decades as the building was demolished and the tunnel sealed. As we know, on Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, Lana uses this as a metaphor for her fame, beauty, fertility and even her life -- Nothing lasts forever, as she admits in many songs through her discography, but at least she tries to leave a legacy and a purpose behind. She held this big Jazz Age party on the Coachella Stage, where we were all invited to have a great time and appreciate an old-fashioned show; as @yourolllikethunderperfectly stated, "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." It's all about the beauty and vulnerability of the moment. "Without You", which Lana hasn't sung in 11 years, was chosen as an unexpected yet gorgeous opener. Describing a life of opulence yet feeling unfulfilled, Lana begins narrating the story of the show. It's followed by "West Coast", a song about having to choose between love and a normal life or pursuing a music career. She chooses the latter, proudly singing California anthem "Doin' Time" and later explores nostalgia and goodbye with "Summertime Sadness". Having to run away and following your intuition is a common theme in Lana's recent music, most particularly "Paris, Texas" from Ocean Blvd or "Bare Feet on Linoleum" from Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass. By the time we finish the first half of the show, we've gotten a great glimpse of Lana's early career, with hits and favorites from Born to Die, Ultraviolence and Lust for Life. The second half of the show explored her newer LPs, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Blue Banisters and Ocean Blvd. These albums describe a decaying, modern America; the music turns more stripped-back, sometimes only piano and voice, an uncommon decision for bombastic Coachella. She sings "Arcadia" with passion, a song about how fickle an artist's reputation can be and how critics and journalists can shift the public's perception on them. Special guests are always part of a big party, and Jon Batiste, Billie Eilish and Jack Antonoff joined to play and sing. One of the most out-there things Lana has ever done live, she was absent from the stage during "Hope is a dangerous thing..."; instead, a holographic version of herself was shown singing and spinning, reminiscent of her infamous SNL gig back in 2012. A promotional billboard appeared outside the festival, which read the date of that TV performance as the death of Lana Del Rey. She comes back triumphant with "A&W" and closed with "Young and Beautiful", a very fitting ending to this story. ""Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?", an iconic line that still stands to this day. "I know you will/I'm sure that you will." Gatsby was murdered in the swimming pool of his opulent mansion; you could also say he died for love. Marilyn Monroe, Veronica Lake and Elizabeth Short, whose stories are paid homage to in the "Candy Necklace" music video, all faced the darkness of Hollywood and suffered tragic endings. Lana Del Rey pays homage to them and decides to escape, this time in a caravan of motorcycles, bikers and dolled-up dancers. "Burned into my brain are these stolen images," she sang 100 minutes ago during "Without You". "Nobody warns you before the fall [...] If this is it/I'm signing off," she declared in 2019's "The greatest"; she prefers to keep her memories intact and beautiful, avoiding the decay, the demolishment, the sealing. A jazz rendition of "Young and Beautiful" marks the end of the show and Lana waves the audience while brass players in tuxedos and girls with champagne bottles play and dance over a giant cake. The cherry on top was The Caretaker's "It's just a burning memory" playing the background, making the scene feel somber and thought-provoking, but also dramatic and grand like the end of a movie. The instrumental piece is part of Everywhere at the End of Time, an album about deteriorating mental health and Alzheimer; the fear of being forgotten seems to be a major cause of anxiety for Lana, and I hope she knows she's cementing herself as a legend with each move.

when she starts the show with "Bound up the stairs..."

There’s only… 24…. Hoooouuuuurssss… x

probably teased us with a blonde selfie from 2020 on instagram and for what…

posting just cuz it’s page 6666 <3 Edit: you’re fucking joking…..

look all i'm gonna say is i know someone who has worked on lana's tours for a long time (at least since la to the moon i'm pretty sure?) and from everything i know she's a pleasure to work with and super kind to her employees... i also know a lot of people in the festival/concert industry are shady, flakey, and can just be an all around pain so it sounds like this guy was probably just an asshole, especially considering her close team (ben, ed, byron, blake, sheridan. etienne, etc.) have been with her FOREVER with no complaints.

I’m OBSESSED with this caption omg it’s quintessential Lana… the random beautiful imagery thrown in there between the thank yous and callouts… until I became a shimmering swimming pool… changing my hair to the color of the desert like I wanted.. her life is her poetry fr the part abt them practicing in a cold warehouse lmao after all this time she still loves to act like she’s a struggling indie artist

When she has a stunt double dressed in the snl attire and then she shoots her…then what

Neil Krug's story! Photo book announcement next week https://www.instagram.com/stories/neilkrug/3336032771197238926?igsh=MWl5amw4dnR0NHZ5ZA==

Confirmed

people saw 'by Ivory Almond', rolled their eyes and moved on with their days

the colorful one deserves jail. literally looks like the trashiest design from shein the rest are cute! especially the blue with the swan

I just know Tessa DiPietro knows some juicy things about Lasso

"Tessa DiPietro spent two hours lifting that cough remotely through her body intuitive skills" Ong she is just so

Country Roads is such a harmless cover, why did it bother her so much

After further research and consideration this show was indeed legendary it just needed time to marinate

get it lanita latinaim still not over this moment I NEED IT AS A EMOJI IN HERE!!

Wait a minute.. delulu time... Billie posted a photograph from the Blue Jeans video a few weeks ago... Lana referenced her SNL performance on her billboard where she was slandered for her performance of Blue Jeans... The billboard could also reference how Lana was "crucified" to allow the next generation of artists to prosper... Billie teased a lyric from her upcoming album that is similar to that of Blue Jeans', "I'll love you till the day that I die".... LDR x Billie duet of a mashup of Blue Jeans and whatever that new Billie song is....

Unpopular opinion, but I actually think she's adopted the "coquette" aesthetic more now than she did during BTD/UV. I think the Skims shoot, her 2024 Grammy's look, and some of her more recent aesthetics are more coquette than anything we got from the Wes Anderson-like BTD era and the Cali Cool UV era.

It’s gonna be like that time in 2016 again omfg

I’m so sorry but her merch team needs to be fired. Literally pick anyone from this forum and they could come up with better designs
