Forty possible reasons why Lana Del Ray cancelled her Australian tour

I'm outraged and mortified that the Children Of The Internet are hassling D-Ray over her recent decision to cancel her Australian tour. Many insiders/offsiders/outsiders (and people eagerly awaiting the return of hit television program Insiders) have claimed that Lainer ripped up her Qantas plane tickets after Googling herself and realising she was at least 12% as popular as the Ugliest Kardashian, leading her to (incorrectly) believe that her scheduled Exclusive Industry Tastemaking Teaser Shows in Australia were now beneath her, and that she was just far too bloody Popular to be seen associated with the likes of Sydney Nolan and Princess Melbourne. You bunch of Negative Creeps! Shame Shame Shane.

So, after swiftly writing a letter to Robert Kardashian Junior assuring him he's pretty on the inside, the PoA staff decided to drink up at our local meeting hole, down a few No Worries and jot down a bunch of other perfectly plausible reasons why Lana has decided to "tentatively" "postpone" the shows.
