Omg confession time: when I first saw the title and album cover, I thought it was a joke or fake cover.
I thought Chemtrails was a fake title because it just was too stupid, I legit thought it was a parody Lana album title. I didn't think they'd actually go for it

The back cover is beautiful. It would work great as a cover.
This comment though... she is actually trying to get dragged. I want to love her like before but she just makes it hard.

I don't know her and would not be able to pick her from a lineup but why in god's name is she obliged to have a person of color on her cover? People find faults with everything these days.

OMG that cover is awful. The first thing that gives me is "racist, rich white trophy wives". And she blends into the background.

Man, it can’t be overstated what an impact she made on music the last decade. I can’t imagine that drivers license song in a world where Lana del Rey doesn't exist.

song is cute the video slaps praying the album version incorporates some of the added audio effects of the wolf/tornado segment. just heard it. it doesn't I hate the album cover but it fits right in with the questionable aesthetical choices she's been making post-BTD. If only there was one more person in the picture she could justify it by saying it's an all-female reinterpretation of the last supper but oh well. The back cover is so mystifying and would work way better.

The cover of the album is... bearable, but the title track is definitely an era highlight, I'm in awe. It's ten times better than this Let Me Love You Like A Woman mess but after seeing her comments on social media it feels like mess is her middle name.

Ok yeah she’s lost her mind, lol. She was on BBC the other day saying she didn’t think Trump was inciting violence and even the host was like no ma’am 💀 This woman is entirely too confident. You know I was gonna say that for a good songwriter she is awful at writing messages but then I remembered "my pussy tastes like cherry cola" is a lyric from her so wtf do I know lol you know plenty, that lyric remains one of the best of the last decade, along with “my pussy tastes like Bible verses”

I wouldn't even care about this if it wasn't for this quote from her. And now we know what kinda women she considers "glamorous" “there has to be a place in feminism for women who look and act like me.” Which is honestly quite rich coming from a cis, white woman, considering feminism has largely been about and for people that look *exactly* like her. I gave her a slight benefit of doubt and side eyed her before but add it all up including her defense of Trump and it's pretty clear Lana is problematic at best, racist at worst.

Am I misunderstanding something because what it seems she is trying to say is that she was misquoted by a publication and / or her words were misconstrued or taken out of context. A bit confused here...

With context I’m not sure I disagree with her, but this is one of those moments where her team needs to pull a Demi and just take her social media away for a while, lol. She’s not helping.

I think had she not offered an explanation, she would have been fine. She really doesn’t owe anyone an explanation about her art choices. However if you are going to offer an explanation and not do it well, well best of luck with getting dragged for it.

I also want to add that she is one of those artists that can easily be baited into an unnecessary conversation if you offer the right words to lead her into the conversation.

I cannot express how much I just want her to be quiet and maybe take a college class on feminism and intersectionality if she wants to speak about it all the time. I want to enjoy her music, I truly do, but man, she makes it hard sometimes.

I've said this a few times, but BTD and The Weeknd's House of Balloons are two of the most impactful albums of the 2010s. They sounded so different from what was popular at the time (remember, this was when some were trying to say RITD was a slow song), but little by little popular music shifted to them.
