this video took me to another dimension ❤‍🔥and this song will be on repeat all weekend thank u

grew up with “crybaby”, moved on to “k-12” when i was in my preteens and now “portals” through my teens. this is so beautiful and i honestly love melanie with my whole heart.💗

I was 14-15 when I first started listening Melanie, I saw her toxic cover on voice thinking she was so pretty and how lovely she sings and started hearing all her songs. I’m 22 now and I’m so proud to be here for this new adventure 💖✨

I can't believe PORTALS is a year old. Time really does fly

It’s so fun to have seen Melanie over the years. I discovered her through dollhouse in 7th grade when i was 13. Now I’m 21 in my 3rd year of university. To have seen her grow is an honor.

The excitement I hold for this. This women raised me, she got me through a really shitty childhood and now I’m almost 18. Words cannot describe how much I love her and her art more than anything :’) I love you Mel

seeing her old character design leaving the community really made me sad and probably made all of you feel the same but she’s exploring a new era of herself and we should support it all step by step ❤

Melanie as a pink nymph with 4 eyes is literally the cutest thing ever!!🧚‍♀️

Growing up with Melanie is such a beautiful thing. I first started listening to her album in my transition middle school, then K-12 beginning high school. Now as a Senior about to graduate, this song feels symbolic of all the change that’s happened in what feels like a pivotal time in my life. Thank you Melanie, you are a true artist and we love you. ❤️💕

Really love the fact that she's not scared to explore other aesthetic and type of music. Growing up with Melanie and her art is such a great flex. ✿｡•̀✧*☆◕

There’s so many beautiful spiritual meanings behind this. Melanie’s body with 10 swords representing the tarot card. Her being a butterfly to represent transformation etc she’s truly a beautiful artist 🤍

We got brat summer, I call for portals fall

I absolutely ADORE the symbolism, from the butterflywings, the characters that look like they’re supposed to be in k-12, and them going to her grave and burying her, everyone knows she’s changing. At first they mourned her and then they helped her and watched her transform into a beautiful butterfly/fairy. Absolutely gorgeous.

If you pay attention @4:16 you’ll notice she’s put 9 swords in crybaby. This could be seen as a reference to the 9 of swords tarot card which represents fear, anxiety, and things that keep you up at night. 9 of swords reversed represents overcoming darkness and once again seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I love it when artists incorporate hidden Easter eggs in their music videos. Good album all together.

I literally grew up with this woman, i found cry baby when i was 10, and i definetly relate to it completely with my shtty childhood, disfuntional family, bullying and more. I heard K-12 when i was 14, and it helped me through high school drama and now i'm getting portals at almost 18, where i'm getting into a totally different and unkown period of my life, after depression. Give me a bigger conection to an artist.

IF THIS DOESN’T PLAY AT MY FUNERAL, IM NOT DYING

I love how this is meaningful on multiple levels. Melanie singing about being "back from the dead" is also about her career : 3 years is enough for the industry to consider you "dead" but yet she is back proving her detractors (also those who claimed k12 was a flop) she is still here, more alive than ever, crazier, funnier than ever. She truly never disappoints 🌸

4:28 This scene is just amazing. When she breaks free, I actually felt her relief. And her wings look so ethereally breathtaking, so beautiful 💛 her facial expression is spot on even with the suit/custome on.

I'm so proud of her evolution , the fact that she is being herself and she doesn't care if someone don't really like it , being herself and doing what she likes , this mv makes me wanna cry 😭😭😭 IT IS TOO PERFECT FOR ME 😭

I adore this new era, the visuals, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS I LOVE. Mel is so creative and that’s what I love about her. She’s absolutely a beautiful artist and there is so many meanings behind this.🤍 I Love this.

Omg this is literally everything! The music, the vocals, the dancing, the costumes just EVERYTHING! I get that people don’t like this new era because it’s different from what we had but they aren’t even giving it a chance. This is literally art!

I'm sorry, but I absolutely love her mind because the way she evokes the imagery of tarot cards at 4:17 is perfection. With the 9 of swords card representing Crybaby (9 of swords being the card of pain, sorrow, crying) and by impaling the corpse with the swords the 10 of swords imagery is invoked (10 of swords is like "The worst is over") and shows that this new form is truly going to be nothing like what we've heard from her before and I simply cannot wait. Edit: Holly hell thanks for the likes and comments 😂❤

Im not sad regarding cry baby's death, she went through many things and finally she's got a rest, definitely I'll miss cry baby, she was a friend, a confident in her whole story for many of us, but remember, she is not actually "dead" she is just in a new form, she is back from the death and came to heal our hearts!

Bro this whole era is so underrated

Imagine how bland this all would be if we didn't have artists like Melanie who aren't afraid to build a world and create amazing music for us to enjoy. It's been an honor to be able to say I've been on every journey she's wanted to take us on. ❤

I feel like this is exactly where cry baby wanted to be. She wanted to leave the physical world so bad. And now shes in the portal. Melanie really out did herself with this one❤

MELANIEEEEEE The production, the details, the music, harmonies, and your voice I CANNOT You did absolutely AMAZING with this, we're all so proud

I saw the make up artist and hair stylist on the trilogy showing the way the mask is cleaned then repainted then put on with Velcro straps for the wigs for the show. It’s a huge commitment to wearing that thing for that long. I love portals for how full and deep her voice is. Very much owning herself in a way. I feel differently. It fills me up from my belly when I hear it.

Omg I can't believe we actually got to see Crybaby's human form one last time! It's hard to let her go as we used her to cope for so many years, but she's one of us; and we always support when someone in our community finds themselves. I can see her breaking free of her old form or her old body where all the terrible things happened in Crybaby and K-12 (And After School) and leaving those memories behind as she escapes into her true form. I think every time Crybaby has died in the past, she's gotten rebirthed in the same body; but this is different. For one reason or another, she has finally been set free. (Probably has something to do with the end of K-12 and Lillith.) I'm super hyped to see the rest of PORTALS and where this journey takes Crybaby.

I’ve been a fan of Melanie since I was in second grade, listening to every cry baby song constantly as her being my role model. I’m a sophomore in high school and as much as it’s kinda sad, crying in the beginning of this song watching how much it’s changed, I’m so glad she is who she is because I couldn’t have been more proud of who she’s become. We love you Mel! 💗

I absolute love the way she visualize her songs, every scene, outfits, backgrounds everything fit’s so perfectly and I’m beyond in love with the way her mind works, it’s hard to find an artist who can capture the theme and vibe of their music. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next 🪷✨🧚🏾‍♀️🍄‼️

0:57 look at that, the creature is actwally way smaller than the corpse

the fact that she recreated herself when she was in her “cry baby” era makes me cry so hard, I’m so proud of her work, she’s growing constantly, exploring new ways to express herself, so so proud!❤️

LYRICS Intro Death is life is death is life is death is life is Verse 1 They're carving my name in the grave again The flowers are fresh and their faces wet My body has died, but I'm still alive Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead Lighting all your candles to draw me in Sayin' all the same things, I'm gone this time Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back And meet me here across the plane The other side, I'm not far Pre-Chorus When you aren't around, I sink into the ground I try to pretend I'm closer to you Never understand it You're always on my mind, I cannot help it I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure Immortal by design I'll be meeting you here every time Chorus Back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the (I'm back) Post-Chorus (I'm back) (I'm back) (Death, death, death) (I'm back) (Death, death) (I'm back) Verse 2 They're saying my name in their prayers again I flicker the lights so they understand I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side We're screaming and pleading, this separation ends Doing all your witchcraft to pull me in Burning all your sage to connect our line I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts I try to talk, the barriers are too strong Pre-Chorus When you aren't around, I sink into the ground I try to pretend I'm closer to you Never understand it You're always on my mind, I cannot help it I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure Immortal by design I'll be meeting you here every time Chorus Back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead (Death) I'm back from the dead (Death), back from the dead Bridge Please don't ever worry (Back from the dead, back from the dead) (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) I know it's morbid (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) But we all die one day (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) Chorus I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the (I'm back)

Growing up with Melanie is a huge flex. This is an ARTIST. I love how Melanie isn’t afraid to try new things and express her weird and wonderful brain. I am in constant awe of her creativity. A true artist.

for anyone saying they will miss the crybaby era just remember: it’s not gone, but rather it has evolved into a new form that is equally if not more creative for Melanie! you can always go back to listen and appreciate the previous albums, i know they hold a very special place in a lot of our hearts, but it’s not like they are being erased. so just try to enjoy the ride and vibe with the new aesthetic! and if you don’t find that it’s for you, it’s okay to move on and grow apart from it, just like it’s okay for Melanie to grow into new types and ways of making music 💘💐 very excited for portals and whatever comes next 🫶💜🌱💫

i really love how at 4:36 the new form of crybaby is detaching themselves from the old/dead crybaby. like the fairy version flys up so fast and is embracing the freedom from her past self. it's so symbolic and really shows how mel has grown not only as an artist, but as a human as well 🧚🏼‍♀️🌙💞

It's an honor to have seen Crybaby grow! I've been with you since I was 8, today I'm 13, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to have seen Crybaby grow and die, the development of this story goes much further. I love you so much Mel!!!! Now seeing Crybaby's new reincarnation is a unique thing!!

Every latest PORTALS music video and how many streams they get daily🧚‍♀️🍄🌺🕯️ DEATH: 30K streams VOID: 21K streams TUNNEL VISION: 18K streams FAERIE SOIRÉE: 25K streams LIGHT SHOWER: 18K streams

I cannot believe we got a third concept album… She tells the most amazing stories through lyrics… I’m so inspired… There is nobody like her

The end of crybaby and the start of a stronger and powerful Melanie. I love how every album is connected to each. The growth is something that inspires a lot 💖🥺 I love you since 2015 Melanie! Keep growing and growing ‘cause your art and music are always a different level ❤

I’m so glad I never doubted Melanie. From “The Voice” I knew I would connect to her aesthetic. My loyalty will never die. I LOVE YOU MELANIE 🥹

i hate how people are saying they dont like the "new melanie". This has always been her. I've listened to her music since I ws in middle school and shes always been different from other artist. Thats what makes her so special to me; that she can be herself not afraid of the world judging her or giving into the worldly view on beauty standards and normality. Shes even expressed multiple times through her songs, for example "fire drill". She knows shes different but she embraces it. I strive to be like her.

I love that they're going from babycore to fairy goth, I love the idea that they might explore a ton of really distinct aesthetics and switch their whole vibe every time they leave and come back. I love how it frees her from a single aesthetic box but is also so clearly authentic to her overall vibe so you still see what you loved about the last style in this style. Like it's a totally different genre but it's still surreal and a little creepy in a childhood nostalgia sort of way and it's still pastel and it's still femme. And I love that about her. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Im a 24yo Hetero Male. Is it weird I absolutely love Melanie’s music? Her voice just soothes my soul

THIS WAS INSANE! Like where to start? The visual effects, the quality and the colors! Tbh I didn't expect the clip to be that good it really blew up my expectations, i can see now why she did spend 3 years to make this album. Its a true work of art and the new aesthetic is so unbelievably amazing! As we said before, Mel NEVER disappoints. Can't wait to see the full movie! That will be my new flex and i'm sure of it.

I've always loved how creative Melanie is, since I was young I started learning her songs word by word. I still know the words years later. She continues to come out with amazing music that's not only creative, but meaningful. Music is an art. Melanie has taken the art of music and made it into something more. Something so beautiful that some people don't understand it anymore. Crybaby never left. She reincarnated.

2:25 this part is so catchy, I never thought I'd be so obsessed with Mels growls, drawing influences from so many different genres and creating something truly original. She truly evolved but still kept her style

Mel, I cant believe your songs got me through my life. Constant bullying. Your songs really got me through all of these bad times. Thank you :)

this comment is for non fans who are confused!! Melanie has a character named "crybaby" who she portrays in all her albums. Melanie was bullied and called a crybaby as a kid for being emotional and sensitive which is where she got the name from. Her debut album "crybaby" tells the story of crybaby's birth and life as a young kid. it's a very deep album and the character goes through a lot. In her 2nd album "K-12" crybaby attends a weird school that's very messed up. she also made a film to go with it that's free on youtube called "K-12" as well. The movie was made in 2019 and ends on a cliffhanger (i won't spoil) Melanie released an EP in 2020 called "after school ". the EP is not connected to the storyline but is more so about Melanie's personal life as an adult. After that she then went on a hiatus until this year and dropped her third album "portals". We were left many years wondering what would happen after K-12 then in February 2023 Melanie randomly hit us with a teaser of crybaby's grave. Crybaby has somehow passed away and is now reincarnated as a faerie/siren. It's makeup, a prosthetic and body paint which takes about 2-3 hours to put on and she can see through tiny holes in the bottom pair of eyes. Melanie is currently working on a new film that'll finally show us what happened to crybaby. this album is the final one about this character too. (some facts for new fans) Melanie is known for having split dyed hair (inspired by cruella de vil) but decided not to give crybaby's new form the split hair because she wants to separate herself from the new crybaby. Melanie loves spiritual things like tarot cards and in the scene where there are 10 swords in her body is inspired by a tarot card. "the ten of swords" meaning a painful yet inevitable ending or being pinned down by a multitude of things or situations. there are other meanings for this which yall can look up if u want but i feel like those are the main ones. Melanie has been playing this character in her music since 2015 and wants to move on from it but some fans love the old human version of crybaby and melanie from the crybaby era and they won't let her move on and grow. also technically, there are 9 swords in her body but i'm pretty sure her heel is supposed to represent the 10th. In majority of her music videos there's always people in bunny masks because when she was young she had a pet bunny and one day found it decapitated so she likes to have people wear bunny masks in her music videos. each era the bunny masks evolve. okay maybe ill add more stuff later idk but ty for reading! (typing this from may 7th) i just wanna say ty again to everyone who took time out of their day to read this long comment! it makes me happy knowing that more people are becoming fans of Melanie and i'm glad my comment is helping people understand the story!! :) (lol it's 2024 now and wow i didn't expect all of this 😭i forgot about this comment. i made it at 13 & i'm 15 now :)) thanks for reading this whole essay again lol)

The metaphor of death being the moment the chord connecting Melanie’s dead body with Melanie’s alive soul breaks and being also the metaphor of birth at the same time is too good. It keeps me up at night

Omg i'm really loving this new era, the aesthetic, the art, melanie has grow so much in this last years and this is totally fantastic, and the fact that she don't have any fear to show this new design for us is totally incredible!! Loving everything from this album 💕💖

I'm like...almost 40 years old and this album has gotten me through so much since it came out. What a beautiful opening to a beautiful album.

Seeing "RIP Crybaby" after being a huge fan of the original album and being there for k-12 (which was so amazing too) was such a whiplash. I can't right now, but I'm so looking forward to listening to the album in full

The fact that I’ve been a crybaby / earthling since I was 12, Melanie has no idea how much her music means to me. When K-12 was released, I ugly cried because of the concept of the album & the messages behind each song and it helped me get through tough times by the time I started middle school. When Melanie posted the snippets of Portals on her Instagram, I was so happy because this album was 4 years worth waiting for. Melanie, thank you so much for saving my mental health with your music and I hope to meet you one day❤️

I'm so happy Melanie is not afraid to express herself in so many different ways. this song is so amazing! i love how she can just make masterpieces. its such a flex to grow up with her music. she has such deep meaning in her songs and this one it just amazing. i love her so much and I can't wait for her to come out with the whole album. first the crybaby album, dollhouse episodes, K-12, and after school. this is gonna be a perfect masterpiece and it always will be. Melanie i hope you know that we all love you and were so grateful that you keep releasing these beautiful pieces of art. this is a real ARTIST. an AMAZING one at that. Melanie we love you and everything you've ever done.

Damn I haven't listened to this practically since it came out. The nostalgia....I'm so happy rn

Litterally gave me the chills. I've been a Melanie fan since the beginning and seeing her say goodbye to the crybaby era is bitter sweet but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this new version of Mel, shes growing spiritually and mentally, and maturing even more than before. This new style is coming to the surface with a new and improved Mel and its beautiful to watch.

“I wont say goodbye, am right by your side.” Gave me chills.

The fact she took the time to re-do every thumnail saying “rip crybaby” means she really loves her fans and enjoys making music. Amazing job Melanie! I already listened to the full album! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I HAD THIS AS MY ALARM FOR SCHOOL AND I GOT SO SCARED I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS IN MY ROOM-🥲😭😂

As a tarot card person I noticed there was a scene (4:15) similar to a card "nine of swords" which represents "being plagued by fear, guilt, doubt, and worries that are to a large extent, unfounded." To me that fits perfectly to the theme and the awakening from death as a new being. It sounds like it was added there on purpose but you'll never be sure unless Melanie says it their self.

This is an ARTIST. I love how Meanie isn’t afraid to try new things and express her weird and wonderful brain. I am in constant awe of her creativity. A true artist

god how she always puts me in tears with her art. ugh shes just so creative. i grew up listening to her and watching her evolve into something so beautiful each time is so heart touching to me😭💕

If this plays at my funeral then I’m coming back from the dead

Her dedication to her craft cannot remain unseen. The production on this music video alone is INSANE

Lyrics They're carving my name in the grave again The flowers are fresh and their faces wet My body has died but I'm still alive Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead Lightin' my candles to draw me in Seeing all the same things, I'm gone this time Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back And meet me here across the plain The other side, I'm not far When you aren't around, I sink into the ground I try to pretend I'm closer to you Never understand it, you're always on my mind I cannot help it I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time Back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death) I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death) I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death) I'm back from the dead (death), back from the (I'm back) They're saying my name in their prayers again I flicker the lights so they understand I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side We're screaming and pleading, this separation ends Doing all your witchcraft to pull me in Burning all your sage to connect our line I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts I try to talk, the barriers are too strong When you aren't around, I sink into the ground I try to pretend I'm closer to you Never understand it, you're always on my mind I cannot help it I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure Immortal by design, I'll be meeting you here every time Back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death) I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead (death) I'm back from the dead (death), back from the dead Please (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) Don't ever worry (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) I know it's morbid (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) But we all die one day (I'm back from the dead, back from the dead) I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the dead I'm back from the dead, back from the (I'm back)

"Please dont ever worry. I know its morbid. But we all die one day." Probably my favourite lyrics on this entire album.

Crybaby last words "Please don't ever worry" "I know it's morbid" "But we all die one day"

first we get a song, a week later a music video, and then in a week we get the whole album?? this person is feeding us with their art and style 💗✨🙏🏼

Everyone who criticized the new era doesn't know what they're missing, this melanie martinez aesthetic is just perfect, this song EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. Melanie Martinez delivering everything as always, fabulous, perfect, innovative and immortal💖🛐🛐

As a new Melanie Martinez fan this is AMAZING i will def watch it for my whole life

If this song didn’t play at my funeral i ain’t dying 🗣️‼️💯

This was out of this world. Whoever said this is not Melanie never understood her or her music. This isn't old or new melanie, this is just her.

I didn't follow Melanie Martinez much, I've always been more of a casual listener, but I'm really intrigued by this era and cannot get this song or its visuals out of my mind. It is haunting. Portals is a fantastic album as well. It's been a long time since I was so transfixed by a contemporary artist's efforts. Extraordinarily well done.

Please Melanie, don't disappear for 4 years again...

Melanie never disappoints her MVs are always so stunning I love the new fairy-like aesthetic props to everyone who helped to make this mv

Yes as a phoenix she rises from the ashes of the chains of the industry, self made independent artists are rising and the artistic expression of this is at its height. Keep the fire Melanie don't let the haters take it away. We've missed you.

2:20 that little whisper of "im back." before that bad@ss beat drop GAVE ME THE GOOSIEST GOOSEBUMPS EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I’m slowly getting into portals album..

Lost my mom two years ago, and I cannot tell you how this song has helped start finally healing. Just hearing some of the lyrics hit hard but also makes me feel as if though i was supposed to hear this for a reason. I really appreciate Melanie and her musical, beautiful mind. "I don't wanna be carryin the weight on my shoulders. Death has come to me kissed me on the cheek gave me closure." These lyrics specifically reminded me of when I went into a very dark and self harming phase after losing my mom, but hearing "Immortal by design. I'll be meetin' you every time." I couldn't help but break down, because I know I'll see her again when it's my time. This is the first time music has truly touched my soul like this.

This is iconic af. So proud to be part of history like this! RIP crybaby she will be missed.

this is the first song Melanie's released since the passing of my mother, and honestly I can say that Melanie always has a song for every situation in life. To think that my mom watched k-12 with me and although she's not here to watch this with me, I really see her in crybaby's new character. It's honestly really healing, and the pagan imagery and lyrics are really cool since her whole life was focused around witchcraft and our family HAS been noticing her presence. This song hits way harder than ANYTHING else you could've possibly released at this time, and I want to thank you for the beautiful message. Yes, we all die, but there's also a beauty and freedom in death. The situation may be sad, but the soul is finally at peace. Melanie if you're reading this, I first discovered you when Crybaby was released (5th grade) and you got me through horrible bullying and helped me to learn to love my body and gapped teeth. Thank you for always being there as an artist. I can't wait to see you grow as a person from here on out. And don't listen to the fans who constantly beg for certain songs.. this is your art, and I want to see you produce what YOU'RE comfortable with releasing

The way she looks now is soo beautiful! Plus her music makes me feel at homeeee!!

This is terrifying... i love it 😩

I've honestly just discovered Melanie, she's incredible. Her music, visuals, theme, concept... it's on its own planet.... literally. She's made a new fan.

I was 16 when I discovered Mel and to see her come so far is just amazing! Now I’m 24 and I still listen to her every now and then. Also RIP Crybaby ❤️

It’s so magestic with headphones :D

I love when we see artists become new versions of themselves, especially if their old self is what they're iconically known for. It's the change and growth that's so special, you can tell Mel is at a better place with herself and they're exactly where they need to be. Sometimes we have to lay to rest the person we once were to become something entirely different and new. Even if we love our old self and many people did as well, it can weight us down, be suffocating, and make us feel trapped like we have to mirror to that image forever. I love this new direction and am so excited for Portals and what's to come!!

I like to think that when she says “Please don’t ever worry, I know it’s morbid… but we’re all going to die one day.” Is not actually about death, but about change. Regardless of whether you’re scared of change or not, it will happen, everyone changes someday sometime. Which I personally don’t agree with but I can definitely see it being more about that than actual death.

4:17 Los sentimientos encontrados en esa escena, una manera muy fuerte de despedirse de Cry baby y una alegoría de que ya no regresará, honestamente toy chillando

melanie is one of those singers where u cant decide who u like more, mel, taylor or olivia? you have been a livie since the start.. but mel is so calming… i love them all equally ❤

This video was only posted 2 days ago and it's already #1 on trending for music...Melanie has really encapsulated us all

I remember in 2015 when Melanies Dollhouse EP came out and I became obsessed with her style and sound in seconds of listening....and when Crybaby her debut album came out I fell in love with her even more...after she took her break when crybaby came out I thought she was never going to come out with music again and it hurt so bad! then she bounced back with K-12 with the movie and everything I was so excited that her creativity matured in such a beautiful way I would watch K-12 every night.....now with PORTALS like omg she is becoming her true self she has evolved into something so breathtaking her voice is even more magical then before...Melanie I cannot wait to see what's to come omg I love you like fucking crazy and im so happy I stuck along with you since the beginning❤🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍

I love this creature Melanie has become. It's a little visually awkward, just uncanny valley, but once you get used to it, you realize how truly beautiful this new form is

THE WAY SHE SCREAMED DEATH IN THE BACKGROUND ❤😭💀😳

BOTON PARA EXPRESAR LO DIVINO Y HERMOSO QUE LLEGO EL NUEVO ALBUM DE MELANIE 😻

As disturbing as this series has been for me, she wasn't wrong in the k-12 film. “you are immortal, you will keep having new bodies.” and here she is, her next body.
