I was wondering if this nortec #ad has any thing related with her COVID stay at home concert? Like she received some amount of donations but in exchange she has to the the ad?

 

Idk maybe she just likes money honey

Big pharma has 20% of America turned into opioid addicted zombies. It's not just another brand deal like watches or champagne.
Not judging her tho, I understand it's easy money for her.

Pfizer doesn't market opioids

Also big pharma is only has a really small part in this, governments, economy and USA lifestyle are to blame 

 

What if J:FAD is sponsored by Nurtec and we will see it integrated in the film like Pepsi Cola was in the Madame Web movie?

Lovely to have Gaga at the center of this delicate and extremely nuanced debate 

Maybe she was like here is the last #AD for now because starting tomorrow my new era begins, solely focusing on JFAD content

You are the one who basically said Gaga is contributing to the opioid crisis in the US-

 

Trailer - Tuesday

Single LG7 - Friday

 

A clown can dream!!!

Yeah that's exactly what I said didn't I? Again, wonderful that she's leaving the door open for this sort of debate.

How many hours till the trailer?

I just don't get why Google Chrome, champagne, Tudor watches or Oreos are okay but not really good medication. I agree with the fact that it cheapens her brand a bit but I don't see how it makes her less or more desperate for money than other brands, as if she couldn't get another brand deals that would give her as much or more lol

Google, Don Perignon and Tudor Watches aren't the #1 financial contributor to the Republicans who overturned Roe vs. Wade... that would be Pfizer, who Gar has decided to take cheques from. 

 

Definitely a choice given what her brand is supposed to stand for.

 

Silver lining is TEOG promo, always here for that. 

 

Really? We're debating if Pfizer contributes to America's opioids crisis? That's not really the main issue.

 

No matter what you believe, pharmaceutical companies have a proven track record of using lawsuits and intimidation to stop the government from negotiating fair and accessible prices for life-saving drugs. It's not a debate, it's a fact. It's unfortunate Gaga wants to associate her brand with that. 

 

How much it matters to each of us will be different, but it's certainly not something worth trying to defend from a moral lens. It's one of the very few issues where you'll find universal agreement politically in the US.

Edit: Okay apparently very few things pay better than pharma. Travis Kelce was paid $20M to promote the COVID vaccine, I feel like it might be even more from Nurtec. Who the hell would say no to 20M for a 20 seconds video and a post with already recorded footage from your tour lmao

 

There is no difference, these people are just hypocrites. They are thinking about how it makes them look as stans and that is it, because their lives are dictated by what people on the Internet says. Every. Single. Popstar. has had questionable, weird collaborations with companies. Beyonce jumped on a plane and flew to Dubai to perform for elite politicians who jail and kill gay people because the check was big enough an stans LOVED it lol. Gaga is getting her check for a medication she most likely uses due to her chronic pain/illness. It makes sense for her on a personal level.

 

Edit: morally, it is weird, can not deny that. Business wise, I do not care.

Big pharma is only an issue in yankeelandia like we don´t care.

 

I am ready for the trailer.

 

I'm less worried about any company being politically leaning, as it's almost expected that big businesses give to the right-wing for lower tax rates. This is a bit different as people literally die from not being able to afford medication.

True, but Lady Gaga is neither the cause nor the fix for the corrupt, messed up American healthcare system.

Well... that #ad better be the last one before she starts her main imperial era.

Sure, I agree with you. But I think we can all also agree it's weird for her to link her brand to it.

 

At the end of the day, I'll still bop to Chromatica and get pumped for Joker. On the other hand, I understand why some are really bothered by it (especially if they have any personal experience with healthcare affordability issues, it can be very emotionally charged.)

Kind of funny how everyone is mad about an #ad while waiting for the JFAD trailer, which is technically another #ad.

 

It is interesting to see Billie not dropping any singles before the album's release. She is trying to see which one will do well and then release it as a single. Just like what Taylor is going to do with her new album. 

I can see Gaga doing the same in future, which will be good because her lead single from the last two eras (minus ASIB) has been an atrocious one. But will they have time to prepare the MV and things like that?

At least that has artistic value.

I have a hard time believing many of the Gaga fans mad are mad because of some moral dilemma they are having about this, but that is not something that can be proved at the end of the day. I would have more pause if we were not aware of the actual pain she endures on a daily basis because of her chronic pain, but I believe she probably does use this medication or something like it so at least it is "genuine" in that way. When I see people like Taylor partnering with Capital One to convince her fans to go into massive amounts of debt to come to her shows, or Beyonce taking blood money from LGBTQ-killing elite, I feel like this is just par for the course for these girls. They are not going to turn down the millions.

But see, you could make the silly argument that her Oreo partnership was immoral because snack companies rely on the obesity industrial complex to make a profit. Negative externalities are not exclusive to pharmaceuticals, and there are positive developments and innovations taking place in pharmaceuticals.

 

Migraine pills are not something to get worked up over, at least not enough to peg her a "pharma shill". Getting migraine pills when she's given no music is what we should actually get worked up over.

Trying to make the audience feels a contrast to the Harley character tomorrow, I see you Gaga.

 

 

Rated GagaR for strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality and brief full nudity.
