Would Gaga lose her fanbase if she went very experimental?

[Notget 54]

So considering how divided stuff was with Joanne, I'm wondering how the heck fans would react if she went in a (very) experimental direction. Example:

Joanne already divided fans when it was barely experimental (thank God it received well among the critics), I think an experimental album will drive some fans nuts and further divide the fanbase.

I also don't think Gaga likes to produce experimental music, she made Joanne and included Bloodpop in its production to make sure it's sonically commercial enough. I'm not sure if her label demanded that but I'm glad she takes that direction to make her music accessible without being too experimental. Be that as it may, I'm not calling her music generic though, she's commercial in the sense that she has her own style which is distinctively different from what's been served on the radio.

As long as it's marketable, I don't think I'll see anyone here complaining.

Everything she does is diving fans because obviously, not everyone can like a thing. The Fame Monster is probably the only thing she put out and received a well response from ALL of us, while the rest...not everyone enjoyed them.

I thought it already did

I'd stay, and I hope she does.

Gaga is in such an interesting boat because all of her albums are different so fans will like one part of her discography and will struggle to like another as we saw with Joanne and even ARTPOP. If you look at Beyonce all her stuff has pretty much been the same so and she doesn’t plan on switching it up while LG will never do that. I think the tea is most it us like her so much that even if we don’t like her music we’re srill gonna Stan.

she should always follow her heart and not listen to the fans tbh

well, if she goes very much in the folk/indie direction like lukas nelson, i think she would lose a lot fans but gain new ones.

i pay gaga so much respect for thinking about the fans and what they want and what they think... but if i'm gonna be honest, i think i would love it of her to just think about want she wants! this is her life, her career, her artistry, and her direction! she needs to follow that before anything else otherwise the creativity is not genuine. it may be wholesome but it's not memorable or something that the gp will consider when they check it.

I don't think so

[Salvador Sequea 290]

This fan base is divided since Born This Way tbh 

[Haroon 39,433]

Some would leave and others would join  I'm hoping she doesn't go too far like FKA Twigs and Bjork because I really can't listen to their music, it just doesn't make any sense to me

[TylerBR97 9,710]

This fanbase is so sensitive to everything. Everyone already left for Beyonce 

[CannaeDrive 1,483]

Fans are kind of irrelevant as far as her creativity is concerned. She is the artist, not the fans.
