JustYouandI 2,483 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Taylor and Gaga were together with her RING in may 31st for Indi 500 car thingy. So your timeline doesnt make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReidOne 12,427 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 ...omg and the video is going to feed right into this "social media" meaning as well... she's performing at a what looks to be a festival in the California desert (aka, Coachella, Burning Man, EDC, etc...). Which are really the epitome of the exaggerated lifestyles portrayed on social media... This single is giving me life!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeehawKylie 7,817 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I don't get how delaying the break up announcement = building hype for the single? She never hinted the lead single would relate to their relationship nor did I really think it would. Almost every celebrity couple delays announcements of their break up for privacy reasons. Some even continue to make appearances together. This thread is a mess and I'm not here for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustifyMyLove 2,593 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The song is about the dependence of mobile phones and about the realness of the stuff on social networks, I told you before the song was released and in one of these interviews she did yesterday she talked about the reality of the stuff from social networks and how are them sometimes illusions, you can interpret the meaning how you want tho but that's the main meaning Julia Volkova #1 stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Gaga is an artist and poet at heart. It's kind of self explanatory that she would write about her break up and then release something that is enjoyable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPS 13 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 You should add to the OP: Gaga was using her engagement ring in that video in which she is seen ''saving a fan". Discuss. Pê Pê Ésse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - I will admit and agree that my thread is a mess!!! I no longer hold the opinions in my OP. I'm still trying to unravel all the meaning and mystery about all this. Precisely why I love Gaga... she gives us so much to chew on!! But yes, I repent for my sins of questioning Gaga's intentions here!! I was wrong. But I'm grateful for the thread, as it is opening my eyes a bit. (I still think she's playing a media game with the Taylor split/PI lyrics... But it's clearly more complex and not nearly as transparent as I was making it seem in the OP... slay me, Gaga!!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and no, I haven't listened to all the interviews because I've been traveling for work the last couple days) This song is obviously meant to sound like her Taylor breakup anthem. She is well aware of this. But it's actually about social media and the fake images portrayed of all of our lives. In other words, the song isn't about Gaga's life. It's about all of our lives. The meaning of the song itself is a perfect illusion. Wow. I am slayed!!!!! Do you really think she was thinking about the whole social media explanation she gave when she wrote the song though? I often feel like Gaga's tries to push a narrative of her songs that's amplified above and beyond what she was actually thinking when she wrote the song. It's obviously a breakup song, I don't think she had a single thought about the social media aspect of the song until Interscope told her to come up with a more relatable explanation not trying to drag Gaga but I can't see how 'I don't need eyes to see, I felt you touchin' me, high like amphetamine, maybe you're just a dream' is about social media ...ıllıllı c h e r r y c h e r r y b o o m b o o m ıllıllı...

Feel 100% the same, tbh. But she's so goooood at pushing the narrative. And I do believe she may be crafting multiple narratives as she's recording. But also adding some after she's finished. But again, as an artist, the meaning of the "work" is in the eye of the beholder. She knows this, and crafts her art a such. Which also gives her artistic license to discover new meanings in her own work, after she's finished. If that makes sense? Point is --- I hear you! And I believe in the brilliance of Gaga.

Yes, her & her team's knack for narrative storytelling is crazy, she is brilliant at marketing!! that's one of the reasons I follow her. She's similar to Andy Warhol in that sense. I'm not saying she can't do that, or it's wrong at all. The spin she's been putting on Perfect Illusion is just so much less believable to me than a lot of her previous work. Haven't seen the video yet though, hopefully she & Ruth come up with some epic stuff! ...ıllıllı c h e r r y c h e r r y b o o m b o o m ıllıllı...

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I think their relationship was an illusion to the world and fans because it didn't exist. I think he was a beard or decoy, whatever you want to call him. And I think that maybe she had a real relationship with somebody else that wasn't public knowledge. Their relationship seemed a bit too perfect some times and how does somebody go from that to being single. I know all relationships can be turbulent but we never saw a turbulent side so that shows how well Gaga hides that side of thing so my theory isn't completely ridiculous.
