Because Venus is the brightest planet that's visible on the sky so maybe she wanted to represent it as a star

Ugh. It reminds me of the problem I had with ARTPOP. If you say your art can be interpreted to mean ANYTHING to the consumer... It comes off as lazy. I definitely know that wasn't Gaga's intentions. But if she says "my ARTPOP could mean anything", then it begs the question of wondering if the art even has substance to begin with. And I know she thinks there is. But a lot got lost in translation during the ARTPOP era. I wish there was more showing and less telling.

I never thought about that but you're absolutely right.

Astrologists used to think that Venus was a star. Once upon a time you would've been exiled and ridiculed for dare saying that Venus is a planet just like Earth.

What is a star anyway? Who decides? The sun is a star but people generally don't think of it as one. 

Pluto used to be considered a planet but now Astrologists have demoted it to just a moon.

I guess ARTPOP is about deconstructing what we know about labels, boundaries and definitions.

Art vs pop

Classical vs contemporary

Stars vs planets

Fame vs fortune

Need vs want

Love vs sex

About crashing the critic who tells us what is right and what is wrong.

Those editions are so elusive that nobody knew that but you. Thanks for sharing :hug:
