Thank you

If we really want to be honest about Gaga's lowest cultural relevance, it was the first few months of 2018. The JWT ended early, Joanne (s) wasn't charting after a grammy performance, there was nothing about another album coming soon, and we all thought ASIB was going to bomb. But during a year that started off like that, she went on to have one of her biggest smashes ever. I don't think we have to outline how massive ASIB was for both her music and film career; the accomplishments speak for themselves

 

Fast forwarding to now, she's in a much better position than she was pre-ASIB (or pre-Joanne) despite technically being inactive. She's had six number one albums, five number one singles across three decades (two of which were 10+ years into her career), another successful film role (with a potential career-definer being set for release this year), strong recurrent stats (which would be stronger if UMG pulled their heads out of their asses), and enough touring power to complete a sold-out all-stadium tour. We don't have a super clear idea as to what's up her sleeve musically, but I think a top 10 single and number one album are in reach. And Joker has major potential. So even during this period of inactivity, I don't think she's at her lowest point of cultural relevance, and even when she was, she had a major career moment that same year.

Imagine saying Gaga is at her lowest cultural relevance when she's mere months away from portraying one of the most popular and recognizeable characters in comic book and popular culture, all while her staple hits simultaneously gain almost 1 million streams a day.

Lady FadGa! She’s only been successful for 15 years! 

success stans are so annoying  go stan Taylor I promise you will have a better time 

 

I think Gaga’s lowest point was 2014-2015.

How do fans even know it’s Gaga who really signed it. I think it’s all a big scam 

I can confirm it's Sarah Tanno. The way the lines are not straight, it's her. 

When Gar teases the lead single during a Superbowl commercial. Start the countdown ladies!

I agreed with most of your post. But this part is not correct. She had just done the Super Bowl in 2017 and was set to sell out arenas for the rest of her life. 

Most of 2016 seemed like her lowest point in cultural relevancy. Perfect Illusion flopped immediately and Million Reasons had an awful debut and also fell off the charts. Joanne received mediocre reviews and no one seemed to care about her. Getting the Super Bowl halftime performance changed her career trajectory (and revived Joanne (not the real person Joanne, the album)) 
 

Yes, canceling the Joanne World Tour was disappointing, but she was still in a better place than 2016

When it still serves Perfect Illusion.

 

It is sort of exciting to think that, no matter what happens with LG7 and whether it's a success or not, the first Joker film was so successful, controversial, divisive, talked-about, and - surprisingly, taken pretty seriously as a piece of art - that Gaga's name will be everywhere again this Fall. Whether her performance is loved or hated, Miss Gar will be dominating the headlines just as much as she was during ASIB because of the film's power alone. That's really exciting. I'm not a "success stan" by any means (most of my faves are low-key flops nnn) but I think we can all agree that standing is more exciting when your fave is extremely *~relevant~*. With Joker 2, that's all but a guarantee. 

What are the chances of Warner bros debuting JFAD trailer tonight? 

ariana just debuted wicked trailer at the Super Bowl and it honestly looks good! 
 

 

 

She's at the Superbowl, wearing red things on her eyes.

Even if JFAD only does half of what the first one did. I’m confident Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix are going to do an amazing job with there roles, and the story will be good. Joaquin said he wouldn’t comeback to the film unless it’s the same director and the story is very good. Joaquin has an amazing videography. So many of his films are iconic and good in general. 

but which team is she rooting for?

Maybe she's a surprise act on halftime

Repping her man’s city of San Fran. I forget that Michael is from SF, and how much time she spends in San Francisco

Once in a while I have questioned myself why I had no interest in her last releases and I came to my mind when I was reading that she changed BTW lyrics during a recent performance.

 

The answer: there's just no contesting.

 

An artist, who doesn't want to fight for his work or to challange the status quo, isn't needed. Now I get why Lady Gaga it's not considered a vanguard artist anymore. She's afraid to take criticism and doesn't want the anger of her fans. A very much person used to what evangelical america thinks of her to the point that she even changes the tone when approaching them.

 

Taylor Swift is more provocative when taking risks in her lyrics and attacking anyone or depicting the world with her storytelling. Lana Del Rey portrayals herself as the american ***** poet. Ariana cross the line telling a man to break with his girlfriend just to stay with her. These artists are not relatable as some might think. They put their lives into song lyrics and people sure are interested in gossips at best when they sing in a poetic way. Ups and downs, irony, happiness, ressentment and political nuances, all of that is there.

 

What about Gaga? The same dance music and weird fashion from 2010's.  It's a common place, it doesn't contest, it takes things as they are and it tries to conform not only to the way of the world, but also to the vision which the world has from her. What about the message? Aesthetics is important, but it isn't everything. When she debuted, the message was "I can be just weird as this clothes I wear" and now the current way of thinking, at least from a leftist point of view, is "I'm so ****ing weird that languange, thoughts and the world has to addapt to me". And guess what? The world has addapted to her weirdness.

 

All I coud hear in chromatica was she crying because some upsets in her life with generic lyrics and a dance beat. 911 its a scratch to the rip apart that it would be, if she released herself as a whole. I miss sarcasm and irony. Enough with self-pity. Seriously, you have ask yourselves what did she wanted to achieve with chromatica?
