Doesn't she also make tone deaf and stupid comments to the public?

Lana’s art is, in many respects, a wry commentary on American whiteness, and that sparks suspicion and distrust in people who don’t see a distance between the singer and what she’s pushing back at in her songs. The gap between how Lana sees herself and how she’s seen by others was most profound this January when she suggested that the attack on the Capitol and the terror of the Trump years could force positive change, and some people wondered if she was secretly a supporter, while many more felt the comment was made in poor taste. Her response on Twitter to a Complex post about the incident — “It’s fucked up. You know I’m real” — was telling.
The lesson of the Capitol attack, of small-business owners revealed as insurrectionists and of horrified neighbors and exes turning in rioters to police, is that maybe nobody really knows anyone. If your aim is to do good, you must live with the fact that not everyone will read your intentions as such. Lashing out at your critics only invites more drama. If you don’t give a shit, don’t give a shit. It’s frustrating hearing Lana sing about the weight of fame in “Dance Till We Die” in the face of avoidable controversy. It could be lighter for her if she adapted a bit and explained herself less. But keeping the same energy is core to the Lana Del Rey experience. The paradox remains alluring.
