Tony and Lady's Meet & Greet on May 30th. A one man's experience.

[Rumbold 481]

yeah, remember born this way ball? or even artrave? she used to have real talks with people after the shows, invite them backstage and bond with them. all of you saying it doesnt mean anything and she was tired etc. cant deny the fact that it used to be different. did we ever hear stories like this one a couple of years ago? i dont think we did. an istagram caption about loving your fans so much doesnt equal shooing them through a meet and greet like peasants.

Giving me "Delete it fat" teas  

 

Jk, I'm happy he realizes it's not her fault.

​What is delete is fat? Like where did it come from

I feel bad for him.

​you guys expect her to humble up yet you guys slap her on the wrists for not selling as many millions as others.... 

The only reason I want her sales to stay decent is so she can tour, if she can tour then I don't care how the album sells. I just want good songs from her. I've especially come to that realization after hearing the full version of Partynaueous. Her work speaks for itself, it doesnt need sales to speak for it. 

[Ethan 2,051]

Sigh. I rememer the BTWB when she would invite fans backstage and they got one on one interactive talks-- personal ones. :\

99% of paid meet and greets are like this, so you should always expect a scenario like this, even with Gaga.

Some of her Artrave meet and greets were an hour group chat and after fans could personally hand her gifts or have her sign something of choice, by the end they got a pre-signed tourbook and very little alone time.

Gaga and her team don't seem to realize how well informed fans are about how every single meet & greet goes down and therefor have certain expectations. I for example wanted her to sign my arm for a tattoo but I'm glad I didn't buy the M&G for Newcastle like I planned because by then she didn't sign anything anymore.

This time they probably had to rush because of all the celebrities she had to meet. I think fans who payed that much money deserve more time then random celebs, but I guess her priorities are different. 

She can spend her money however she wants, but I do hope she spends a little more time with her fans again like she did before.

I never would have expected something like this from her; however, I do not expect this to become the norm for her in the future. Hopefully with her next tour, we will get more of the great moments that we got with Born This Way. Let's just hope that it was an off night for her or something like that. It really sucks for that fan though. 

[somnambulist 1,526]

Jesus christ you guys are SWIFT to crucify her without even knowing any facts.

Literally EVERY tour she has gone on before this she has spent lots of time with fans, so how do we know it's not due to some other management?

Tony is also a very old man who has to perform a full set in front of a crowd, I wouldn't expect him wanting to party after the show, and it would be disrespectful for Gaga to meet fans without Tony by her side since it's a collaborative album.

Gaga doesnt care about her fans? SERIOUSLY? That is the dumbest thing anyone could say. She's literally gone to rallies to defend the rights of her LGBT fanbase. Ugh, this site......

[Schwerk 7,244]

I also think she wants to be respectful to Tony. I can imagine some fans 'ignoring' him and just paying attention to her. She probably wants these meet and greets to be a bit more calm and quick and les personal. I expected this beforehand and therefor didn't even consider buying one.

Actually when I first met her backstage at the Monsterball, the meet and greet was very similar to what the fan from the OP describes. I thought just the fans she called backstage during the show were gonna be meeting her, but it turned out to be a huge line of people, many probably with companies someway affiliated with the tour.

As they were rushed through my mind was racing. Nobody really talked to Gaga and I wanted to thank her and stuff. When the moment came I just looked her in the eye started talking, sort of demanding her attention by loading her with gifts and we both forgot everything around us for a few minutes. At one point I noticed someone making the wrap it up sign but Gaga didn't notice so she just kept talking untill Lane stepped in and was like ok guys it's time to take a picture. If I had been my usual shy self I prob would've gotten just a hello and a picture but luckily I went for it. But that is all up to you. Maybe not in the case above but sometimes it's hard for her to tell who are big fans and who are just there cause they have the money and want a picture. Either way I don't think it would hurt them to exchange a few words.

​what the **** are you talking about, i had meet and greet in Norway which was near the end of the tour, and we had an hour or so to talk with her about basically everything and she signed stuff too.
