Because what Lana did on Born To Die added nothing new to the pop music landscape. The moodier sound she explored was already a thing before with Amy Winehouse, Florence + the Machine, Adele etc. Lyrically, she also didn't bring anything new to the table. Production-wise, it was still a maximalist sound that several other artists have explored before her.

You had to be there...

Thanks, bestie!

where exactly did you hear her say she doesn't like those glasses due to "invasion of privacy"? open the schools!!!!!!!!!

When every song does that, it's kinda annoying

there's no such thing as "straight male ATRLers"

QUEEN

Get Outta My Way Hung Up Dancing On My Own

and you're right! out of all on the list she's the one who has explored more themes and concepts in songs and albums, while making great stuff out of those, which not only proves she's a great songwriter but also a versatile one

Lorde, Mariah, and Taylor

I can only think of 'Addison'

the cure to begged to what's wrong with me to less always wrecks me

I haven't listened to it in full yet, but the snippets all over X sound kinda bad

Not surprising at all

Have you ever asked her if that's her goal? I didn't know you guys were close friends
