inb4 SOAW has crowd noise and becomes an unexpected #1 smash

That reading sounds like the LG8 era shapes up to be another Disease -> Abra trajectory except more extreme in either direction

I did a tarot reading on Shape of a Woman, Devil Wears Prada 2, and LG8. Read at your own discretion.

How will Shape of a Woman be received by the fans?

Queen of Swords & The Chariot (both upright)

Shape of a Woman will be received relatively positively by fans, though somewhat coldly. Fans may interpret it more as a career move as opposed to being a fan favorite track from Gaga.

How will Shape of a Woman be received commercially?

The Magician and the Two of Swords (both upright)

Although Shape of a Woman is positioned for success on the surface and Gaga has been intentional, the song may not see commercial success. Two of Swords implies obstacles, either form a promotional or personal perspective as Gaga may feel torn between other obligations this year, and there may be too much competition at the time of release for Shape of a Woman to make as big of a splash as it may be positioned for on the surface.

Awards potential for Shape of a Woman?

The High Priestess and the Four of Wands (both reversed)

I don't see Shape of a Woman as a standout this awards season. Mainly what these cards suggest is that Gaga is still somewhat hesitant around campaigning due to the aftermath of House of Gucci and Joker 2. I do think nominations are very possible, but Gaga is likely not going to campaign as visibly due to feelings of rejection. Other cast members may have ulterior motives or may have hard feelings towards Gaga for one reason or another.

Is Devil Wears Prada 2 doomed to be panned by critics like Machete Kills and Joker 2?

9 of cups and 10 of cups (both reversed)

Yes, the critical reception of Devil Wears Prada 2 is likely going to be mixed to negative. Surface level positives will be noted, but the overarching film may leave critics and/or audiences feeling cold. Cast tensions may be revealed later on, that explain why characters lack chemistry on screen or why the project ultimately wasn't as satisfying as a sequel to Devil Wears Prada could've or should've been.

Will we receive LG8 in 2026?

Page of Wands (upright) and 3 of Wands (Reversed)

No.

What is her current headspace around LG8?

9 of cups (Reversed), King of Pentacles (Reversed), Ace of Swords (Upright)

Gaga may be surrounded by people who are materialistic and shortsighted. Reversed King of Pentacles indicates that Mayhem era may have not lived up to Gaga's hopes in one way or another. Gaga wants LG8 to be a challenge for her and to feel like a fresh step in her career overall.

How will it perform?

Six of Swords (Reversed), Page of Wands, Eight of Wands (Uptight)

LG8 will most likely perform fairly well, maybe on par with Mayhem commercially. A last minute decision or unexpected song may connect with the public out of nowhere or go viral in some way. The era seems very lively, with themes of fire coming into play potentially. The era may not start off well though, and could initially seem to be a bust. Based on the page of wands showing up multiple times related to LG8 I'd say the main concept is already known by Gaga at this point.

Excuse me ma'am, not to be disrespectful or rude but could you please take post down. That is my mother. And it this post is very disrespectful. Idk who you are or if you even know her but I need you to take this down please.

The film is tracking very well in pre-sales so debut week exposure and buzz is not an issue. The song just needs to be good to have legs but reception for sequels is often a tricky thing to navigate and as we have seen in recent years, good enough doesn't cut it for Gar, and the bar for her soundtrack singles tends to be even higher. Any soundtrack release of hers is going to inevitably be compared to (the quality of) ASIB songs, which is both a boon and a curse.

What they can control however is online discovery through adequate playlisting, any radio deal(s), and a Tiktok-forward campaign (that hopefully doesn't try to shove it down people's throats or force any trends like TDD ). She should also consider attending MET this year for extra promo since not only is the theme tailor-made for her (Fashion is Art), but it's happening right after the film's release, and all of the obvious connections of the franchise with Anna. Also, just the fact that she's Lady ******* Gaga, the biggest modern fashion icon. It's the perfect opportunity.

Knowing the movie it is attached to, the crowd noise would be gays screaming yas Gaga slay mama causing the GP to immediately turn it off and traumatizing the monsters when they see the 21k streaming debut

Shadow of A Man >>>> Shadow Of A Woman but y'all not read for this take

Gaga doesn't have a song called Shadow of a Woman.

Kinda sounds like LG8 will be Gaga's midlife crisis record based on the cards I just pulled.

blasting abracadabra at 7:20am, sometimes I can't believe this song is real I-

Where are the Requeef questions @GraceRandolph

Do we have an idea for a release date for shape of a woman? I hope they don't wait until May and the movie release.

Gaga is not having a midlife crisis.

Right? Like she seems the clearest and most focused on her craft she's been like ever. Just a cursory glance at her performances and interviews these days is enough to dispel that.

It's been a minute since I've checked in here. Any news on Shape girlies?

I'm fine with the song will be a flop but saying she's having a midlife crisis really makes me sad and nervous. I don't want her to be sad and hurt anymore
