Leave it to Swifties to exhibit their psychotic parasocial behavior in a random thread about some guy dying Condolences to the children

I certainly didn't purchase Joanne (Where Do You Think You're Going?) to impress my credentials upon user Infernal Paradise on website ATRL

lady Gaga (debuted in 2000s) achieved two of the biggest smash hits of the year 2025 with DWAS and Abracadabra. Are you surprised?

Yes this song is a massive disappointment bigger than the mess that was I Don't and GTFO. Songs like Portrait and 8th Grade prove she's out of touch

With the success that both have had in the past year and now celebrating over a decade of music industry, have Ariana and Taylor Swift finally reached Janet Jackson's tier?

Which new song by a 2000s MPG do you prefer and why? Do you agree with the below analysis?

Gaga currently has the #1 and #2 songs in the world with DIE WITH A SMILE and ABRACADABRA, 17 years from her debut Similarly, Mariah had the #1 and #2 songs with WE BELONG TOGETHER and SHAKE IT OFF, 14 years from her debut Both legends achieved these new career peaks after career lulls, when everyone thought they would never have another hit Whose re-peak is bigger in the context of their overall careers?

Gaga and Bjork made history as the only MPGs to headline ever Coachella more than once. But, if Taylor headlined, it would be impossible for anyone to see her because her crowds are too big. Is Taylor too big for Coachella/Lollapalooza/Glastonbury/etc.?

Two queens of pop came together to maximize their joint slay on the BREAK MY SOUL (QUEENS MIX). Both albums are highly regarded as groundbreaking in the dance genre and were applauded for the seamless mixing and vision. In your objective opinion, which album has aged better?

An almost offensively mediocre album for the sole reason that it had everything going for it- narrative, vocal ability, musicality, inspiration- all let down by the stylistic choice of extremely bad songwriting, when this should have exceeded My December to become her true Butterfly/Ray of Light/The Velvet Rope moment. Her choice to dumb down the lyrics achieved the result it deserved.

She is a hypocrite for "loving" Luke and working with R Kelly, meanwhile she has a hate campaign against JLo for something JLo had no control over three decades ago

During Kesha's trial, texts from Gaga emerged wherein they both discussed Katy not being a girl's girl because she is a "mean girl". Taylor meanwhile had publicly warned the public about Katy's underhanded behaviors before generously making up with her after Witness tanked. Katy has been also been shown supporting right wing racists including Ben Shapiro, Nicki Minaj, and anti-abortion Republicans for election. However at the time ATRL vehemently attacked Gaga and Taylor for daring to speak their truths about Katy. Why was time the ultimate truth teller?

Having shared history with music managers in the 2000s, both Lana and Gaga later broke through the mainstream to massive commercial success after being signed to Interscope, with Gaga originally being much bigger Now in 2024, Lana has been nominated for AOTY, sold out Coachella and Fenway Pk and stadiums around the world, and Born to Die becoming once of the longest charting albums ever while GaGa is selling Nurtec Why did LaNa outlast GaGa?

Both songs have been going viral on TikTok and managed to chart on the BBH100. Dua's highly anticipated lead single has amassed 400m streams, while GaGa's sixth single from over a decade ago just surpassed 500m. Now that Dua's album has released, ATRL weighs in: is Houdini the more impactful and bigger song?
