I think when the video of Born This Way came out... and when Judas was released that everyone started to hate her more and more...

it happened real quick

Katy Perry was gettin dem #1 hit singles with her TD album, on her way to tie with MJ to have 5 #1's from one album (and thus she became "The Female MJ" :koons:)

Born This Way the single though was a success, it fell off the charts in almost blink of an eye after staying on top for 6 weeks + it was heavily compared to Madge's EY

there was one thing nobody saw coming and that was ADELE. she demolished everything in her way and suddenly all things loud and crazy that Lady Gaga represented in music became lame, being natural became the new black  - Adele was labelled "Anti-Lady Gaga", making every trend Gaga has set for other pop stars look ridiculous.

those were tough times :giveup: I'm just happy I made it through. 

still remember the Charts Section in 2011. my god it was horrible. ESPECIALLY during the MTN era. it wasn't safe on GGD :air:

Alejandro+BTW+Judas combo tbh

The religious controversy and gay preachingpreaching were really it, the first one deemed her satanic and the second one too gay for the homophobic gp

In 2011, or around the time Born This Way was released. She was very preachy (the album itself was too), performed a lot of what people saw as "publicity stunts" (showing up to the Grammys in an egg, Jo Calderone, etc), the comparison between Born this Way and Express Yourself, and then the religious backlash of Judas (after Alejandro video and Judas, people thought her religious themes were solely for attention). It all hurt her image and I believe it affected the sales of ARTPOP and how poorly it was received.

She was still cool with Telephone.

People got over it with the Alejandro video and the mainstream gheys were done and they never came back for Born This Way.

People don't hate her but she was definitely very, very cool before.

Judas. I don't understand people saying that she started fading after Alejandro - she was still selling tickets to the MB at the time and she wouldn't have had a #1 and 3 top tens and a 1 million debuting album following it if that made her uncool. BTW was the start of something, but Judas is where it really took off. The religious angle was the straw that broke the camel's back and was just too much for the public. I think this is partly the reason why TEOG didn't go to #1 afterwards despite it being probably her best received song with the public. It's a shame because I love Judas, but it was the turning point in how Gaga was viewed within the public and nothing was the same after that. It's weird, the songs that are becoming successful these days, in my country at least...is this cheesy, bland stuff really what today's kids are deeming cool enough to go to #1? Yet Gaga made an album about s-x, smoking dope and featured 3 rappers on a trap song about Jewels N' Drugs...and she's not considered cool? That would have been the height of coolness back when I was a teen (I'm 25). Kids today are weird. But, oh yeah, they'll still accept these same topics from Rihanna and call her cool. This is partly why I never have much patience for Rihanna.

BTW. Self-empowerment anthems are never considered "cool."

​I know a lot of people were singing Pink's F***** Perfect in X Factor auditions (and performing it as a group song) and Firework is one of Katy Perry's most well remembered hits. People are still loving Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass. I'd even argue that Taylor's Shake It Off is an empowerment song and people are still loving that. I think it was just Gaga's empowerment song that was seen as uncool.

​lol, none of those songs are considered cool. Popular, but not ~cool~, if you know what I mean.
