Popular Post Taylor fanboy Posted September 3 Popular Post Share Posted September 3 She knew VMAs was on a decline ratings wise so she chose that because she doesn't want so much fame. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post taemin Posted September 3 Popular Post Share Posted September 3 The VMAs haven't produced an iconic moment in a decade now. Her career blew up on a certain FOMO feeling that people got from seeing her festival performances - those are what partially built her career to be what it is now, not the 2/3 late night show appearances she had. I hardly doubt this VMAs performance will do anything for her career honestly. I had tickets for the Paris show and spent a ridiculous amount of money on flights + accommodation, only to have my show cancelled on such short notice and not being able to get any of the money back. All of this happening on the same week she had those lengthy rants about fame and exposure - truly made me analyze her in a different light and I'm starting to agree with people who call her a phony, inconsistent hypocrite. I genuinely hope this VMAs performance gives her whatever she wants because she's one of the most talented recent acts, but you don't do this to your fans, sorry - specially not to the ones that supported you and bought your tickets before you dreamt of blowing up. 11 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay07 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Yeah ok fair enough but aren't the dates for the VMAs known literally months in advance? I doubt they asked her to be on last week. She could at least given more notice for people to cancel their plans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DevilsRollTheDice Posted September 3 Popular Post Share Posted September 3 Interestingly, I think the negative press of the cancelations has the potential to outweigh the positive VMA press. Young people don't really care about award shows anymore. Ratings are down, impact is down, performances hardly affect songs. However, with social media, cancelling these small concerts can be a real problem. 10/15 years ago I would've said she would be foolish for not cancelling small shows to attend the VMAs, but now I'm not sure. The risk/reward ratio has changed significantly. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjorn Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I mean if wasn't like she cancelled a sold out arena date. It was a theatre venue no? They'll survive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrispyBelievix Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 uff I love the way she's setting up expectations for this one performance. C'mon stunt queen, teach 'em! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The7thStranger Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 They should have aired a segment of her concert live for the VMAs like they used to when an artist couldn't attend. I believe Madonna did this with Causing a Commotion back when she was on the Who's That Girl Tour. The VMAs aren't exactly a hot ticket tbh. ...odd choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the VMAs date was known about months ago, Chappell wasn't that big then, it's only in the last couple of months she's gained this popularity.

Dula Peep Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Probably could've been handled better but good choice to pick the VMAs over some small shows I'm sure millions will watch her performance when it's uploaded even if they don't watch live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellebrity98 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 she has no star quality so she's milking her success but i don't see her as an artist who can stay on top for much longer. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOMBAYAH Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 How can you say you want to "pump the brakes" on fame, then skip tour dates to perform at the VMAs to boost your celebrity profile? Lol 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ainadalkaz Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 ppl really should just get off her dique it's not like the tour can't be rescheduled and moved to a bigger venue 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EriKills Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 The way she's handled this whole ordeal has been really off putting. Like she knows what she did is wrong since her only mentions about the cancellations have been a 24 hour instagram story and a comment buried on an unrelated IG post. and even when she DOES acknowledge the short notice cancellations it's very flippant + the whole y'all are WEIRD comments she makes about her fans wanting a picture with her when she's "off the clock" tbh she deserves to be dragged by her fans, like I said, her behavior towards them has been so off putting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
State of Grace. Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Seeing how her live performances and shows always go viral, this will be yet another one and thee highlight of that night The cancellation was unfortunate and a bad look, but they'll get over it. The rest will keep fuming here and on Twitter because she set her boundaries and told their parasocial asses to **** off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
