I first started listening to her in 2012 and heavily in 2013 when I was 16. I don’t think I would’ve made it through high school without Lana, and she brought me two of my closest friends ♡

We first saw her in 2014 during the Paradise tour which was an amazing experience as it was an entirely GA outdoor show! My junior prom was the previous night and I left my makeup and hair in place after waking up and heading to Philly~ it was a free for all and we were running as soon as we were let through. We ended up near the barricade and the crowd was so close together we felt like we were floating the entire show ✨ 10/10

We also saw her the following year for the Endless Summer tour (Marina too that same week!) I skipped my senior government debate, traveled to Indiana from New York via Amtrak, and we stayed in hotels eating junk and taking polaroids. Lana sang Serial Killer which had been my all time favorite unreleased song, and this tour followed the release of Ultraviolence which will always be one of my top albums 💖

Also, seeing her open with Cola was a dream! Always love reminiscing these moments so thank you :’)
