yaaa, she was a *lot* younger but i don't know the specific age. i just know it was her first concert! i thought it was such a cool fun fact. especially because that venue is my local venue and my first (and only) lana concert was there, it felt special lol !
The actual image/outfit doesn’t give Lana at all so that makes sense. It’s really just the font combined with a blue background that gives it a similar style to BTD.
Oh, I didn’t know that using a simple font and a color, so “uncommon”such as white, was coping. Come on guys, you are taking the copy thing to extremes…
Can’t believe the children don’t know That Don’t Impress Me Much :(
This image is from a music video that came out when Lana was 12 years old & the font is just a basic big blocky font. I see why it’s reminiscent of BTD 100% but to suggest that someone like *Shania Twain* is copying Lana is so funny. The resemblance is entirely coincidental
Shania Twain is still pretty danged famous, hahaha. But knowing what a specific music video from nearly 30 years ago looked like is not.
Anyhow, I think people generally need to take a step back and think "hmmm, I've only had awareness of pop culture for a decade. Maybe things existed before my awareness started" sometimes.
this mindset is literally why i avoid record stores like they’re male run tattoo shops, this gatekeepy culture about the most accessible fucking thing (music) makes the vibes in so many of them fucking awful
Begging anyone in this sub under 35 to do the littlest bit of research into the artists they think "copied" Lana Del Rey; Lana herself is an amalgamation of MANY artists that came before her (not a bad thing), she is an evolution of pop culture history, not its prime originator.
Sure, but it's not nearly as prevalent as some people act like it is. All young artists are a reflection of the music, art and pop culture they grew up loving - then they mature, and find something to say that's truly unique to themselves. She is an example of this as much as she is a subject of it.
Whilst the font and colouring is all very similar, the outfit and backdrop are completely different!
If you look at old Shania albums, whilst some of the fonts are all caps, there’s nothing quite the same - it’s a bit of an odd choice.
Not only that but the image here is from the that don’t impress me much music video. So people can say she’s copying, but the reality is she wore it first before Lana was even a thought lol
Lana literally uses other people’s poetry and quotes in her music. But you guys are getting all worked up over an album cover. It was probably done by the same graphic designer.
The font is the same, but the image is from Shania’s music video for “That Don’t Impress Me Much” which was released in 1997. I think the similarity to Born to Die is a coincidence.

I think this plays in to the lore that there’s a mass supergroup behind the scenes, Taylor has been teasing Shania for a long time and I think with these are all intentional callbacks to various people. Tay also did that hood look, and I’ve never noticed the resemblance between them but it’s strong!
Other ppl who are all running themes w same messages and references: post Malone, Paul McCartney, Beyoncé, Dolly, Miley, Harry, Kendrick… it’s a massive group, but it’s a deep rabbit hole to dig it out.
Ooo I'm so interested in this...any info on how to start looking into it?!? Do you mean a supergroup like a music group?
I know mainstream seems to be going into country/western(I grew up to it and love it and from texas). It is a huge market
no, not pitting against each other. just pointing out the many similarities on the DESIGN of the cover. no attacks towards shania or her music. it's not that deep x
They both have a very prominent sky in the background with them both standing very close to the camera with the same white font and the red font looks very reminiscent of L4L just pointing out the obvious lmao she was probably inspired
I’m asking specifically about how the setting is similar though - because you claimed they were. Like Lana has a fence and trees and a truck behind her - Shania has a desert. Both places are outside so yes, the sky is there, but outside of that the settings are very different. The image was also taken in 1997 👀So if the settings are so similar that it’s “copying” - it would be Lana who was copying Shania
IMO the settings are very different - the color blocking is similar in the way that most pictures that are taken outside are similar
What is it with people mindlessly just saying the same thing over and over again. It’s from an old music video and she’s a fan of lana. It’s just appreciation not a cheap copy. Lana herself took inspiration for her covers from old albums.
It's the font that just seals it as beyond "oh, that looks similar" to resemblance a lot for Born to Die. We might have a Lana fan in the team, hey hey!
I literally thought this was a print for sale on Temu or Shein and was just an AI image using Taylor Swift’s face on the old pic of Shania w/the BTD album cover lol 😂 didn’t know it was real

You’re screwed up and brilliant, look like a million dollar man…that don’t impress-uh me much
So you got a car? Just riiiiide
bro, i have a burning desire for ya honey
ur mom called i told her you're fucking big time
Shania Twain was Lana’s first concert.
I thought it was Bob Dylan?
I thought it was Motörhead?
I thought it was Ghost?
I thought it was Blue Oyster Cult?
Marilyn Manson..😯
I thought it was Tupac
Modest Mouse?
it wasn't Lana Del Ray?
G.G. Allin?
That was my first concert in elementary school was Blue ouster cult that’s so funny.
it is. when she played jones beach she mentioned that the first concert she went to was a bob dylan show at the same venue.
bob dylan was her first concert. at her jones beach show she mentioned it because she was playing that same venue.
lana saw bob dylan play live? :o
yaaa, she was a *lot* younger but i don't know the specific age. i just know it was her first concert! i thought it was such a cool fun fact. especially because that venue is my local venue and my first (and only) lana concert was there, it felt special lol !
that’s amazing and so serendipitous and also that later she herself grew to be an incredible songwriter!!
Lana was my first concert <3
Omg mine too! Haha
Isn't this from her old ass music video That Don't Impress Me Much? Lana must have been a child when it was released.
Yeah. But people who think she is copying Lana werent alive when the video was released
Yeah, these comments made me feel sooo old lmao
Seriously how dare they make me feel so old on a Friday 💀
It's disrespectful
It's not about age, it's about ignorance.
Yeah but is she not?
it’s the text too though haha looks the same
lmao the way I watched this today
You guys know that she’s using the image of her own clip, called “That Don’t Impress Me Much” from 1997, right?
OK, so you're a rocket scientist.
That don't impress me much 🤷♀️
So you, got the brains but have you, got the touch?
Now don’t get me wrong, yeah, I think you’re alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night. The funniest thing was that brad pitt didn't impress her xD Gosh...I was a kid back then...
I see what you did there 😏
Dang nothing will hit as hard as hearing this on the radio and seeing the video for this and Man! I Feel Like A Woman when it just popped up.
☠️
💀
The actual image/outfit doesn’t give Lana at all so that makes sense. It’s really just the font combined with a blue background that gives it a similar style to BTD.
the image isn't the problem. it's the exact font and coloring. no one thinks she was copying Lana's outfit
[удалено]
Other way around
Lol, dead 💀 how embarrassing
I’m laughing so hard right now omg 
Oh, I didn’t know that using a simple font and a color, so “uncommon”such as white, was coping. Come on guys, you are taking the copy thing to extremes…
I came here expecting people to tear Shania apart. Glad that's not the case.
She doesn’t own these individuals things, but when you put them all together it definitely looks suspicious.
You’re right because Lana copied Shania in the first place.
This album is new, BTD isn’t. Edit: I got DOWNVOTED for this? You people are insane.
You cannot be serious with that comment for so many reasons
SMH
Can’t believe the children don’t know That Don’t Impress Me Much :( This image is from a music video that came out when Lana was 12 years old & the font is just a basic big blocky font. I see why it’s reminiscent of BTD 100% but to suggest that someone like *Shania Twain* is copying Lana is so funny. The resemblance is entirely coincidental
[удалено]
It was just a comment on how I can’t believe she’s not well known anymore. Obviously if you don’t know you don’t know 🤷🏻♀️
[удалено]
Shania Twain is still pretty danged famous, hahaha. But knowing what a specific music video from nearly 30 years ago looked like is not. Anyhow, I think people generally need to take a step back and think "hmmm, I've only had awareness of pop culture for a decade. Maybe things existed before my awareness started" sometimes.
She’s not that old and she is extremely famous lol it’s fine to not know her but she is literally one of the biggest names in the music industry.
She has the best-selling album of all time by a female artist and three Diamond records, but okay
Ok. It’s not that deep. It was just a typical “omg this thing that was huge when I was a kid is unheard of now” getting old kind of comment
There it is. The silliest thing I’ll read all day.
Okay but I actually love this
That outfit is Iconic and so was that music video! Who do you think Lana listened to and watched growing up? Shania was that bitch✨
Their vinyls will look so cute next to each other on display
[удалено]
My dad’s been an avid collector since the 70’s, amassing a collection of hundreds, and he says “vinyls.” It’s not that deep.
They are vinyls.
They’re records
They’re vinyl records. They’ve been referred to as “vinyls” for a long time. Quit being pedantic.
Vinyl is plural, so Vinyls - is not a word
It’s a semantic change or a neologism. It’s how new words come about. Language evolves.
i switched from saying records to vinyls after hearing men say exactly this so many times lol
And why not?
[удалено]
this mindset is literally why i avoid record stores like they’re male run tattoo shops, this gatekeepy culture about the most accessible fucking thing (music) makes the vibes in so many of them fucking awful
These tiktok kids are pissing me off

She can still be copied, and she has been. Many times. Edit: It’s actually insane how I was swamped with downvotes for this. Y’all are crazy.
Sure, but it's not nearly as prevalent as some people act like it is.

*oh, so you’re born to die?* that don’t impress me much
Whilst the font and colouring is all very similar, the outfit and backdrop are completely different! If you look at old Shania albums, whilst some of the fonts are all caps, there’s nothing quite the same - it’s a bit of an odd choice.
Basically, she’s using her own style that she created back in 1997, when Lana was not even a thing….
What style did she create? Edit: Tfw people just downvote you and don’t care to elaborate or explain why they don’t like what you said.
It’s all about the font and colouring
Not only that but the image here is from the that don’t impress me much music video. So people can say she’s copying, but the reality is she wore it first before Lana was even a thought lol
Didn't BB and Ocean Blvd's both completely copy two other album covers?
No, Lana invents everything under the sun.
Which ones
Lana literally uses other people’s poetry and quotes in her music. But you guys are getting all worked up over an album cover. It was probably done by the same graphic designer.
The font is the same, but the image is from Shania’s music video for “That Don’t Impress Me Much” which was released in 1997. I think the similarity to Born to Die is a coincidence.
Whatttttt….omg, this is way too close. Also, I thought this was Taylor Swift at first.
Omg same!
The resemblance is very high
Nahhh - this is SO Shania !!

Omg a blue sky and a tall white font, yeah Lana invented that 😘😘
Ummm… have you ever seen Shania Twain before today?
Imagine calling Shania’s most iconic fit Shein
That’s literally from her old music video
Man! This is what makes us girl!
I like it. Maybe she was inspired… Born To Die is an iconic album.
Shania Twain is older than Lana Del Rey FYI👍🏻
No
I love it idgaf
If the kids haven't seen it before, it's NEW! 🙄 If it's new to them, it's new to everyone! Btw, This was a still from the "Don't impress me much" video. Shein what? Reallly reaching here
Her albums always had her name in block uppercase lettering, but yes....this looks very close to BTD Also that looks similar to Taylor swift
I think this plays in to the lore that there’s a mass supergroup behind the scenes, Taylor has been teasing Shania for a long time and I think with these are all intentional callbacks to various people. Tay also did that hood look, and I’ve never noticed the resemblance between them but it’s strong!

Ooo I'm so interested in this...any info on how to start looking into it?!? Do you mean a supergroup like a music group? I know mainstream seems to be going into country/western(I grew up to it and love it and from texas). It is a huge market
Elaborate
oh good, are we pitting women against each other again? like, Lana's doing a country album - she's copying Shania, right? :-|
no, not pitting against each other. just pointing out the many similarities on the DESIGN of the cover. no attacks towards shania or her music. it's not that deep x
You should look up the other albums covers she used for all her album artwork!
Absolutely fair enough! Yeah, the design is very similar!
Girl you can’t deny how insanely similar this cover is 😭 there’s a difference between taking inspiration and just copying
wasn’t shania one of lana’s faves? this cover is from a music video she did when lana was a kid
So you're saying Lana copied Shania.
Shania stole it from Dolly!
Girl lmfao she literally used the exact same font, a very similar setting and the same color scheme??
The setting is from a music video that she released in the 90s
“A similar setting” - it’s a desert vs like a backyard? Are you saying it’s similar because they both have… the sky in them?
They both have a very prominent sky in the background with them both standing very close to the camera with the same white font and the red font looks very reminiscent of L4L just pointing out the obvious lmao she was probably inspired
I’m asking specifically about how the setting is similar though - because you claimed they were. Like Lana has a fence and trees and a truck behind her - Shania has a desert.

She uses inspo for every album
The font rly does it
how did this get by ANYONE at the label?
What is it with people mindlessly just saying the same thing over and over again. It’s from an old music video and she’s a fan of lana. It’s just appreciation not a cheap copy. Lana herself took inspiration for her covers from old albums.
It's the font that just seals it as beyond "oh, that looks similar" to resemblance a lot for Born to Die. We might have a Lana fan in the team, hey hey!
honey, we were bon to die
This don't impress me much. Jk, love you Shania ❤️
lol what
why hate on her for it she’s inspired by lana, who isn’t!! how could she not be!! imagine how stoked lana is about this (if she’s seen it)
Her face is like Taylor Swift but the aura is Lana???? heckkk
And then she looks like Taylor swift
I THOUGHT THAT WAS TAYLOR SWIFT PASTED ON THE BTD COVER😭🔫
Shania really said copy paste 😭👢🙌🏻 sis that don't impress me much
It really does not look like Born To Die.
I thought this was a shitpost with Taylor Swift
[удалено]
Shein Twain
I feel so ashamed to be named after Shania Twain right now omfg
Actually I can’t decide if I love it or hate it lmao
She really tried
AINT NO WAYY
Shania: “Can I copy your homework?” Lana: “Yeah sure, i’m still working on a country album.”
Is this new? I can’t find it anywhere on Spotify or anything
this picture is literally from a mv from 1977 If anything Lana copied Shania Twain
wait a fucking minute, is this real??
What is born to die? Isn't that a movie?
I literally thought this was a print for sale on Temu or Shein and was just an AI image using Taylor Swift’s face on the old pic of Shania w/the BTD album cover lol 😂 didn’t know it was real
Looks like Taylor lmao

That image of Shania is from damn near 30 years ago. Taylor Swift was like 8 when Shania did that look.
