She did not like that.
Lana Del Rey is no stranger to media controversy, and this time she's gotten herself into hot water for ranting on Instagram about her disdain for the subject matter in the music of top female artists, including Beyonce, Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, and Cardi B. She continued, stating that there's no place in the music industry for women like her who are being their "authentic, delicate selves" and don't look "strong or necessarily smart" in their lyrical content. People started coming for Ms. Del Rey on social media, saying that her comments were entitled and racist for pointing mainly toward women of color. Just scroll down and read the debate and reactions for yourself, because honestly this sh*t is exhausting, y'all.
Bless this little Lana stan's young heart. In the wake of Lana Del Rey's "Norman F*king Rockwell" release there seems to have been a bit of drama on Twitter pitting Tool fans against die-hard fans of the self-proclaimed "Venice Btch." User @eurodoll, who operates an extremely Lana-heavy social media account, posted an incredulous tweet regarding prog rock band Tool's #1 status over both her idol (#2) and Taylor Swift (#3).
"you know i really love to see it i truly was nervous she wouldnt pass lover just because i know the t swift fanbase is so big ... anyways who the f*ck is TOOL? and can they move their fat ass like genuienly no idea who that is am i the only one??????"
The tweet garnered a ton of attention from angry, mansplainy Tool fans and old people alike. Despite support from other fans of Lana Del Rey, @eurodoll ended up posting an apology to Tool and their fans. We're not quite sure if it's sincere, but the saga has been pretty freaking entertaining for us olds.
Y'all thought Halloween was scary? Guess again. Our newest fear is Miley Cyrus' steely blue eyed stare. And we're not alone. This photo from the 2008 Grammy awards has been making the rounds on Twitter, and has, in turn, been haunting our dreams. People have been photoshopping the image into posters for A Star Is Born, or popular album covers. They've also been using it to generally mock the dead stare of people with blue eyes. To which we have to admit: sorry, NOT SORRY. We've put together some of our favorite blue-eyed tweets, but we're sure this meme'll be kicking around for a while. So keep those peepers open.
It's officially been a very good week for drama, and it's no surprise that the drama involves notorious sht starter Azealia Banks. The rapper (and seller of intimate soaps) set her beef-hungry sights on pop singer Lana Del Rey after she criticized Kanye West's affinity for Donald Trump in an Instagram post.
Banks took issue with Lana's denouncement of the rapper and took to Twitter to point out what she believes to be Del Rey's hypocrisy.
"Wow okay Lana, this would be cute if you were consistent with your outrage and refused to collab with ASAP rocky who has physically assaulted women too. To me this just looks like the typical White woman taking using a weakened target to "pretend" to be an ally."
A day later, on October 9th, Lana Del Rey responded in a way that surprised most people - she actually threatened to fight Banks, saying she wouldn't "not f**k" her up, and by telling her to pull up to her address - which Banks is already aware of.
As would be expected, the feud has attracted tons of attention, inspiring memes, tweets, and a whole lot of metaphorical popcorn eating. We hope it doesn't escalate to real violence, but just like the people below - WE. ARE. HERE. FOR. THIS.
