Hmm maybe @Mercurio made some points! 

 

 

 Beyoncé, Ariana, and Katy also has a page made with this too! All three are coming with new eras!

Why is it saying "Live tour 2023" though ?

 

That's not realistic girls...

 

She's not doing six concerts in Germany.

 

Rihanna also has 2024 TBA. And she's definitely not gonna embark in a tour, much less in a tour wth dates in six different german cities

It's most likely a placeholder page. Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande have the same exact cities and '' Live 2023 '' under them.

Country is pretty popular throughout North America as a whole though. Not sure why Gaga exploring the genre needed any justifications.

Just like hip hop is yet you have to earn/prove your place in the community before you start profiting off of it. No one will cancel her for doing country, or country inspired music but to receive recognition and success from it that’s a different story. Especially if you were a dance diva without any country attachment for years.

I would take my sweet time to make a new album if these were the guys i'm making it with

Joanne is underrated sonically but where I do think the reception to the album made sense was in the way it was thematically executed, which was pretty off. An album that fuses subgenres of country with pop and speaks to the passing of a late aunt she herself never met. And she tried to justify the genre by alluding to her mother being born in West Virginia, which while true is still not something uniquely personal or relevant to Gaga as a person. This is why the record came off inauthentic.

 

Gaga was probably throwing whatever she could together because she knew she had to make a more toned-down album in that point of her career. I just wish she did something more in the singer/songwriter vein (which she's EXCELLENT at) and had gone with a narrative more akin to "I'm just trying out new genres for myself and pushing myself artistically." She even could have kept the title Joanne since it's one of her forenames. 

 

Joanne is such an important album to Gaga's trajectory but the d**d aunt theme will definitely go down as one of the most bizarre artistic choices Gaga has ever made.

Watched Usher's performance and it felt so rushed, so many songs and artists in those 13 minutes.  

 

I'm really glad Gags ended up doing less songs, it flows so much better + she still has lots of unperformed smashes to use in her next Superbowl gig.   I wonder which ones would she pick. Hate that she would probably perform PF and BR again since they are her biggest hits, maybe a quick 2min medley with both.

True. Imagine if she had given us Red & Blue reloaded? 

Wasn't deuxmoi the first to report on Bey releasing Act II and it being a country album? They were the ones who reported Gaga and Bey potentially starring in a western movie. The way Bey's visual for the album announcement where western based

B has a narrative of reclaiming music that has black roots, country is one of them, also she’s from Texas. Gaga doing that genre never made any sense. 

I like Joanne but I always felt that the aesthetic she was going for felt too contrived and lacked authenticity especially with the knowledge that she's an Italian girl from New York City. Joanne would have felt more authentic had it been a rock album because we know Gaga grew up on classic rock from her playing her father's vinyl records. It was awkward when she described her mother's family from West Virginia listening to country music only for Cynthia to go on a btwf interview and say she and her family only listened to classical rock, Motown and jazz And then you have Gaga playing "Joanne" to her grandmother which was a cute sentimental exchange but even her grandmother's reaction was kind of awkward. 

Every time you talk about BURN, I think of:  "BURN EXCLUSIVE BABY!"

Woodkid uploaded a studio pic 1 hr ago but idk if it's Gaga related. He posted the screen and just one circle of him, a bit of the background can be seen but I'm not obsessed enough to discover if it's Shangri La or not

Gaga has always referenced Joanne though? I do think it was bizarre, but considering she published her poem in the album liner of The Fame and talked about her a lot it wasn't that surprising at least for me. The execution could've been better though.

Why are liddos bringing up Beyonce releasing 2 albums since Chromatica? She literally had 6 years and 3 months between Lemonade and Renaissance. That would be like getting LG7 in August 2026, when it's coming this year.
 

I don't know who needs to hear this but Act II's always do worse and are overlooked compared to the first act when it comes to albums. 
 

Even when they're not called "2", which in Renaissance case it will be called act 2, the sequel always does worse so worrying about act 2 being competition for a new Gaga album is not rational.

 

People also throwing Dua's name out there??

 

Out of all Q1 competition so far she should only avoid Taylor's first 2 weeks.

I don't think she'd perform songs that have already been performed, but I sort of think she'll get another show one day.

 

The NFL probably has about 5-10 good mainstream options that could headline halftime shows in the near future (Pink, Taylor, Missy Elliot, Ariana, Miley, several rock bands, etc.) but I do think it may get to a point where they'll recycle artists or do something like 2016 where they get multiple artists in one show. New acts just aren't serving Superbowl-worthy material.

 

If Gaga were to come back, Shallow would definitely get a slot.

It’s a combination of both the fact gaga isn’t moving as quick as they’d like them to, and also their fear of her getting overshadowed in the pool of Q1 drops. All rationale goes out the window!
