I love how lana would go on these long rants and billie would just like "yeah" "right." U can tell she was nervous af

There are multiple covers

i've seen the alternates, i'm just referring to what she said in the interview about her decision making process

Oh ok, America would just cover the artwork or something

yeah it was less about censorship or exposure or anything like that. idk it seems like there was maybe a full nude photo other than just the titty slip vinyl variant. here's what she said

My original cover was nude, then I thought about it, and I was like, maybe not right now, because there are some other things I want to do where I feel like that could get in the way.

But that’s a really good lesson because even with the nude photo, it was like, I might not have used it, but there’s definitely something there. The idea behind it was, instead of being exposed for things that weren’t true, I wanted to reveal something about myself that I actually thought was beautiful, but in the end, I got nervous about doing that because I was like, “Is this an artistic inspiration that came to me or is this a reaction to something I feel is critical about me?” I never liked to do anything in response to something that’s fear-based or based on what people think about me. I don’t know if that’ll ever come out, but if it did, I would just want to make sure it came out when I thought it was super fun and not because I had to show something to people.

Yeah, she still kept the cover to get attention for the album though. She could have just scrapped the idea.

Not mad though.

well no...i pointed it out because i think this interview was done recently and i'm not sure, but the quote seems like there was a nude photo she didn't use at all. like a real real nude. again, i'm not positive but that's how the quote reads to me

I don't see the b***y cover on any online retailers atm so she might have legit turned around on that being a special edition

oh s*** there were so many variants announced i just assumed they were all for sale already. haha

doesn't she know once it's on the internet it's here forever

Yeah, I mean that she kept the topless one

It seemed to be a limited vinyl. The album has so many covers we will see.

im gonna start going thru her discography tomorrow

only ever heard the first half of born to die

i'm going to play the f*** out of A&W before the album comes out lmao i need to chill

i didnt say i hate it? i was just shocked.

might be most interesting song shes done in years if ever

oh those emojis was missleadin' then

album of the year.

Woke up to title track playing in my head.

A&W my SOTY so far, goddamn

Might need to do a Lana binge soon it’s been awhile

it's hilarious how the pop fans reach with jack when he's responsible for a lot of their favorite music the past ten years

A&W is so f***ing good
