Just as expected, Atrl won't give Gaga her flowers.

 

The answer is yes. Period

How many of those were from

 

1. an artist in their 40s

2. from a black person

3. From a traditionally R&B artist

 

in fact in the last say 100 years of music how many black artists (let alone women) have been able to get a number 1 single with a country song since it's so common. 

This is giving "artist that starts with B and ends with E, that was part of a group in the 90's" breaking record vibes.

It's a different level of risk when a move like this comes from a an artist in their sophomore or 3rd album, when an artist has yet to completely prove themselves — As opposed to an established act of 20-30 years deep in their career who can basically release anything with a legacy under their belt.

Apples vs Oranges what was Beyonce releasing in her first 5 years as a singer? :gaycat5:

 

Country has been a pretty trendy genre in the last 2 years btw and Beyonce wanted to ride the wave.

Gaga decided at the HEIGHT of her 2-3 year career, to be polarizing and release an on-the-nose gay anthem (and album) that would 100% receive backlash and praise alike from different audiences. :coffee:

Thank you, but proof of that is that today in 2024 BTW is celebrated as Gaga's most ambitious + influential record.

successful music that didn't flop before those 5 years were over unlike the artist who starts with L and ends with A

Anything that she released would've smashed. Her hype was unmatched until Adele. Though BTW did damage her career especially with Judas following it.

Yes, it is.

subject matter wise born this way was risky but sonically it's a very radio friendly and catchy pop song which is what worked in its favor of getting its message across.

Especially with the general public's view on the LGBTQIAA+ community changing for the worse.

and the view on the LGBT community has absolutely changed for the better since 2011 and you can only think otherwise if you get your knowledge of the general public from twitter discourse and not from interacting with real people.
