Because she is bold and uncompromising in her vision, especially for a major pop star. And for everyone who can rally behind a strong, artistic, opinionated, talented woman (regardless of whether or not they appreciate her work), there are many who will try to shoot her down for the exact same reasons. Comes with the territory.

Frankly, bc the more famous someone is, the more divisive they become.

Louis CK once said something very interesting: 

- that until a certain level of fame, ppl have to actively bring you into their lives if they enjoy your work, so you basically only exist to the ppl who like you and enjoy what you do; 

- but, eventually, you can become so famous that you'll be everywhere and become part of ppl's lives wether they like it or not, and that's the moment you appear on the radar of ppl that will hate you.

He was talking about how he wants to stay in the sweet spot of fame, which lies in the middle of those two grounds :P

That's why she has so many haters, bc her ascension was so fast and so widespread.

I really think this is why she has "more" haters...now, the reasons one might hate her are so varied...from pure jealousy to fandom rivalry to not seeing past meat dresses and "gimmicks", etc...

I think what she's doing right now, putting her voice in the forefront of her work, is going to be very beneficial for her image. I already see less ppl attacking her and more ppl praising her vocal abilities and versatility. I also think that her new posture towards other celebrities is also working on her favor (bc at the beginning of her career she was either too shy or uninterested in most ppl). Also her relationship with Taylor and her use of more normal looking clothes are good for her, it makes her more human and approachable to the average person...

And finally, ppl love to burn women at the stake. Gaga has done her time and the media is now looking for a new girl to **** on...just look what they're doing with Iggy and Ariana...eventually they'll find someone as big as Gaga was in 2011 to destroy and they'll be less kunty to Gags. It's the way it has always been...

Because she's TALENTED and UNIQUE.

Some people are jealous, some others don't understand her. And of course, when you have many fans, you will have many haters.

People want something easy to digest and you simply do not get that with Gaga.

Wherever there is competition, there will be hate. Those that dislike her will believe another person is more deserving.

There must be many reasons for that, depending of the people. I stumble yesterday upon that early (bad) review of The Fame (2008) from a mainstream media outlet, which I found interesting as it should be typical of the image some people get from Gaga early on and still probably do today :

'Fame' Isn't Worth Getting GaGa Over

The nascent dance-pop star Lady GaGa is an equal-opportunity appropriator.

Her nom de stage comes from the Queen song "Radio Ga Ga"; her penchant for performing in her skivvies is pure ***cat Dolls (or, maybe, Madonna); and the music on her debut album, "The Fame," is hugely derivative, with just about every idea echoing one we've already heard from the likes of Gwen Stefani, Rihanna, Pink or Britney Spears.

Indeed, if there's an original idea on "The Fame," it seems to be Lady GaGa's full-on embrace of the notion that there are no more original ideas, so why even bother?

Naturally, this hasn't stopped GaGa from becoming something of a minor sensation on whatever planet Perez Hilton occupies, proving that in pop music, whatever's old can always be made new again, given the right packaging, promotion and sunglasses.

In real life, GaGa is Stefani Germanotta, a 22-year-old New Yorker who attended the same exclusive Catholic school as Gloria Vanderbilt, Maria Shriver and Nicky Hilton. In the studio and onstage, Germanotta has transformed herself into a dance-pop diva with a wildly theatrical streak and a bunch of burlesque bras.

She's fabulous, don't you know it? And you should, since she references her own fabulosity on "Paper Gangsta," a train wreck of borrowed ideas in which GaGa, who usually sings, raps flatly through an auto-tuner (thanks, T-Pain!), then declares, " 'Cause I do not accept any less/Than someone just as real, as fabulous" before ripping off Ace of Base.

The album is filled with mindlessly frothy synth-pop that matches low-grade dance grooves with GaGa's icy, almost disembodied vocals about dancing bliss (lead single "Just Dance"), money ("Beautiful, Dirty, Rich," "Money Honey") and s-x ("LoveGame," "Boys, Boys, Boys," "Starstruck").

Though the songs tend to sound familiar ("Eh Eh [Nothing Else I Can Say]" swipes the hook from Rihanna's smash hit "Umbrella"), they tend to come across as flat and faceless, not to mention vapid. That's true even when GaGa, who co-wrote all of the album's songs, turns somewhat serious in "The Fame" and "Paparazzi" and sings somewhat disapprovingly about the very celebrity culture whose icons she's chasing.
