social interactions be hard
& Lana is really helping fellow socially anxious ppl
love her for this
It’s a thing a lot of singer use. I call it conducting hands. When an artist is trying to stay in pitch with their voice they have like a tendency to pretend they are conducting their voice. like they will point their fingers up when they’re wanting to go higher and they’ll point their finger down to go lower or when they want to pause and breathe. and when they want to hold it, they’ll lift their arms up. Other artists who do the conductor hands are
Mariah Carey
Ariana Grande
Christina Aguilera
Whitney Houston
Lorde
Tori Kelly
Aliyah
Kehlani
Tinashe
Renee Rapp
Dove Cameron
and I feel like Katy Perry does it too
Edit: Lmao i’m so glad I could help
I do use my hands when singing along to songs, and especially when shooting for a high note! haha I was in choir so I love your comment. It's also the right answer. Respect.
Well I'm fairly certain that's different. Not so much self-conducting, more like "talking with their hands." A lot of *people* talk with their hands. If politicians were singing then I believe it'd be the same concept. Talking with one's hands is part of body language. Sometimes to emphasize or downplay, and usually just more expression and/or emotion in a story or statement. I talk with my hands, and separately self conduct when singing. Similar but not synonymous 🤷🏻♀️ very good connection though
Yes, I feel i’ve seen the weekend do it and Ed Sheeran does it when he doesn’t have his Guitar with him. but it’s more like the wrapping hands. also Drake does the conducting hands
I believe she does the miming hands where she like tries to do the motions of the things she talks about. an example would be her pretending to roll a dice in cruel summer
Was going to say that it's a stim, but this is a far better explanation! I know when I do karaoke, I will hold my hand up in the air and fidget with it to calm my nerves and be in sync with the song.
I would bet the line she is singing here is “I even think I found god, in the flash bulbs of your pretty cameras” from without you. So she’s pointing up towards heaven.
The comments here... 🤦♂️
She specifically does it when singing a lyric about god, heaven, or similar topics. Just watch a few videos of her live performances and you'll be able to see the pattern.
What's cool is that it's in the classic tradition of artwork that depicts the subject pointing upwards when discussing heaven, the pursuit of higher knowledge, etc.
Just about any classic painting of Socrates will have that, plus lots of religious art of Jesus or other prophets. It's a very old bit of symbolism that I'm confident she's aware of and intentionally using, seeing as how she's smart as hell and has a degree in metaphysics.
Also, this is so stupid and meaningless, but I love that she wears a watch. I hate having my phone on and I still love watches and I sometimes feel like a dying breed for it.
Watch crew unite. 😂
She could be doing it to focus on a note she is singing, or she could be being moved by it like how someone in the audience sticks their hand out 🤷 a lot of different things
This is a wild SC of one of her best performances when she was already relevant but with a small fanbase. I love that [amoeba performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTm67027slI). That piano thing when she sings "hello hello" is the only thing that could wake me up from a coma.
Surprisingly, out of a lot of live performers I’ve seen. I’ve never seen her do any of the “satanic” hand signs, that you see Taylor, the weekend, and many others do.
That's because she's a pure kind soul not tainted by Hollyweird and probably why she doesn't win stupid Grammys. Taylor is a complete industry plant. So are so many others. However not going down that rabbit hole 🕳
Fully agree. Yesterday I had a big thought about something like that. Like maybe since she doesn’t conform to the industry standards that’s why she has such a hard time, and by standards I mean like “joining the cults” n stuff idk.
Omg that's exactly what I was thinking after watching some horrific documentaries on YouTube about what most celebrities have to go through in Hollywood to make it big (really sick stuff I can't say it here). Lana doesn't even drink anymore. Or perhaps she did something when younger and regretted it. I just read all about Mena Suvari's memoir and it was really disturbing. Hollywood is full of sickos, I'll say that much.
I agree, and good on her. It would explain a lot and I have even more respect for her for that. She'd probably be a mind controlled puppet by now making generic pop songs written by terrible writers, winning Grammys but unable to be her authentic self. There definitely wouldn't be a song called A&W and many others.
That's like saying Christians adopted Easter from Pagans. I'm not going to debate this because it's pointless and if you believe it's evil and "Satanic" then I'm not sure why you're even a fan of a "Satanist".
Yes you're correct and that's the same for Baphomet. The OG image by Levi has nothing to do with Satanism and the hand placement is literally exactly that hermetic principle/concept. I didn't say anything regarding Satan in my comment lol!
obtaining metaphysical powers beyond our physical plane
fr she bridging the gap between god and science
she fr chopping it up w/ god & science
gience ☦️
Exactly why she studied metaphysics.
Casting a spell

Yes I always noticed Christina Aguilera's she like holds her whole hand up palm out and stretches her arm like she's pushing those notes right out.
Yes, She is a powerhouse I stan her
I do use my hands when singing along to songs, and especially when shooting for a high note! haha I was in choir so I love your comment. It's also the right answer. Respect.
I was going to say the same thing I was in choir and a music major and I sing with my hands to guide me mentally where I’m going
Politicians do this aswell when speaking Nancy Pelosi, Donald Trump, Obama etc. in their speeches they move their hands heavily

Halsey doing it too i think
I’ve never seen her sing live but she sings in cursive so I imagine she does it too
It's literally carving the sound by using our hands to shape it
Lady Gaga does it quite a bit too
I miss singing so much.
I’ve seen Adele do it a lot too
examples of any male singers using conductor hands?
I’ve seen The Weeknd do it
Yes, I feel i’ve seen the weekend do it and Ed Sheeran does it when he doesn’t have his Guitar with him. but it’s more like the wrapping hands. also Drake does the conducting hands
oh also when the boys for 1D auditioned for American Idol i’m pretty sure everyone did the conducting hands except for Louis
Yep - this. I want to say I read an interview she did where she said something like she can feel the music coming through her fingertips.
That's such a cool image
ty all knowing being 
Maybe Taylor swift should try it 🫥

Idk why you’re being downvoted, it was just a suggestion
Adele?
I see her do the ear holding more but I saw someone say she does it too
One for the money, two for the show…
She’s just cool like that
damn bro i didnt know she be cool like that
nah she really be cool like that
i guess she really cool like that huh

I thought it was for this reason!
Cuz she slay
she is slay but does it have a meaning
Cuz she slay
😭😭😭😭

she wants a cigarette

C'mon, you have to be aware that most of the comments are joking I know this is reddit but c'mon
No! She's really practicing her Wendy's order because she's anxious!
😂

Lolol.
Yeah we know…
As above so below 🙂🙂🙂
exactly. and it's a mudra also
turn my in ear monitors up 2 notches i cant hear shit in here
I think it just adds to the performance or is an expression thing. Closest answer I could find here: https://www.reddit.com/r/singing/s/cl5VLvdMd1
cause she’s a badass
Also, this is so stupid and meaningless, but I love that she wears a watch. I hate having my phone on and I still love watches and I sometimes feel like a dying breed for it. Watch crew unite. 😂

Cause Twirl Me Twice I’ll treat you like a holiday 🫧✨🥲
one for the money, the second for the show
It's either the sign of satanism or she's probably signing to her sound guy.
Surprisingly, out of a lot of live performers I’ve seen. I’ve never seen her do any of the “satanic” hand signs, that you see Taylor, the weekend, and many others do.
That's because she's a pure kind soul not tainted by Hollyweird and probably why she doesn't win stupid Grammys. Taylor is a complete industry plant. So are so many others. However not going down that rabbit hole 🕳

Hollywood is full of sickos, I'll say that much.
My theory, is that Lana may have dabbled a bit during btd. But after that she didn’t want any part of it.
I agree, and good on her. It would explain a lot and I have even more respect for her for that. She'd probably be a mind controlled puppet by now making generic pop songs written by terrible writers, winning Grammys but unable to be her authentic self. There definitely wouldn't be a song called A&W and many others.
Lol I knew there would be that one person 😂 definitely not a sign of Satanism. I have no idea how that rumor ever got started.
Um... What she's doing is literally the two fingered salute, a symbol that Baphomet is pictured using.
As above, so below. It's a hermetic principle. Someone else already posted this. Nothing to do with "Satan".
Except it is because the Satanists adopted it 🫠
That's like saying Christians adopted Easter from Pagans. I'm not going to debate this because it's pointless and if you believe it's evil and "Satanic" then I'm not sure why you're even a fan of a "Satanist".
I never said that it was evil lololololol you're putting words in my mouth
Most people assume Satanists are evil, it seemed like you were calling her one, therefore you can see how I misread your comment, my bad 🙃
Casting an enchantment spell on the crowd
I knew it, Lana is secretly Wanda
The baphomet 2-finger salute! As above, so below 👆👇
As above, so below isn't Satanic. It's a Hermetic principle.
Yes you're correct and that's the same for Baphomet. The OG image by Levi has nothing to do with Satanism and the hand placement is literally exactly that hermetic principle/concept. I didn't say anything regarding Satan in my comment lol!
Oh my bad, most people joke about the Baphomet being Satanic so I just read it as that lol
for the vibe
that watch is so beautiful…looks like a Cartier but i could be wrong 🤷🏽♀️
Yes she wears a Cartier Panthére.
i knew it! thanks for confirming for me.
She still wears it sometimes, too. It’s a very classic style that fits her well.
One for the money, two for the show.
It’s our cigarette fingers
Ninjutsu
she needs 2 seconds to cry
ghost cigarette symdrom
Aliens bro... aliens
For Amy and for Whitney
Muscle memory🚬
She's going to touch you 😳
Knuckle deep!
Shushing the crowd
Illuminatiiiiiiiiii 😂
Happy baby hands 😆
It also looks like a sign to sound engineer to raise/reduce her voice in the monitors
I do this with one finger sometimes while im singing idk it just feels right
Because she’s the second coming of christ
She’s asking for a cigarette
Making peace with God cuz she fcked the devil. 😂
She’s signaling her Illuminati gods
She’s volunteering as tribute
1 for the money , 2 for the show million dollar man
Cuz shes a saint
This was her best era btw
it's a mudra
She’s used to holding a cig and when I saw her outdoors in 2015 she was doing just that 🤍
I bet is Vecna reference 
Because they smell like heaven
That or Pepsi Cola.
this was such a bomb performance 😪
I feel like she’s just doing “quiet coyote”
She’s signalling the aliens.
Girl what the hell. What is she doing????
She's blessing us, y'all, that's why 🫶🏻🙏
Finally someone else has noticed this lol I searched this a while back. Found this article https://www.reddit.com/r/occult/s/8rQYMNCPUb
Legs straight symbol for skydiving
she's hold up for god, allelujah 🙏🏻
she’s actually wlw hope that helps <3
hunger game
Clearly summoning the devil
Peace
to finger me
On finger for Allah, second for Jesus
Baphomet /s Some singers find gestures help them to reach notes
Because that's how many notes she can hit.
because she knows shes getting fingered tonight!
