When was the best time/worst time to be a Gaga fan?

[NIghtmareElm 2,606]

Easily around late 2009-the release of BTW.    It felt so awesome to be a fan and so proud of Gaga.  It literally felt surreal because we were witnessing a huge star that had the best ideas.  

Best interviews.  Best outfits.  The world was so focused on her.  Gaga was literally unstoppable.  Her videos were the best music videos in years.  Her creativity was at it's peak.  Literally perfection.  Also cannot forget the LEGENDARY 2009 VMA Paparazzi performance.  As a hardcore fan of Gaga it felt ****ing awesome to see her everywhere and talked about by everyone. No pop star has been that iconic since.  Yeah Swift has had more hits but she's still not as talked about.  Gaga was the WHOLE PACKAGE then.

 

Worst time: C2C era.  I hate jazz and I hardly watched any of her performances. I forgot those covers that she released before the album.  I haven't even listened to C2C.  The whole "era" was such a bore.

Best: TFM/Early BTW -- I don't think I have to elaborate on this.

Worst: ARTPOP -- Holy ass balls, meltdown after meltdown after meltdown after meltdown after meltdown...

I loved TFM era...

 

She was still huge which was something to be proud of and the Music Videos were awsome

 

TFM is also my favourite album musically

 

Also my fav song of all time is Paparazzi and after Paparazzi is when i became a hardcore fan (I was casual fan before that)

 

So right hefore the era began I was ready to stan

Worst = Now

the worst time would be when I can't actually appreciate her music anymore

Depends on what you're looking for as a fan. Technically now would be the best time, because you can get to her much easier (not a ton of randos meet and greeting her) and she can't charge terribly high for tickets because demand is low.

Best Time was Post TFM/Beginning through Mid BTW

Worst time:

For me, now tbh. Joanne feels like a non era  I loved the entire C2C era, and the post ARTPOP release era was messy, but there was still a great, fun tour, fun music, good performances, etc. etc.

Best = TFM (nothing to say further), and C2C with pre-LG5 era where her Jazz vocals are best and the acclaim is everywhere (National Anthem, Sound Of Music, Critically Acclaimed C2C tour, etc.)

Worst = ARTPOP and Joanne, where you are surrounded by meltdowning Gaga fans everywhere and you feel alone loving the music, the visuals and the performances by yourself

[HANZ 4,380]

at least we had some interesting stuff during the ARTPOP era, C2C we had grammys, oscars, superbowl national athem but right now we have NOTHING exiting going on, and I still pray we have a new era by the time we have the Superbowl cause I don't want her to play the basic boring on purpose joanne persona at the SB

Joanne era has been the most boring era by any popstar in YEARS

People easily dismiss how disappointing this can be. It's like being in junior high again and trying to share things you like with other people only have them respond with "Ew, you're weird, go away."

the pre ARTPOP era where it was just silence  cus of her hip recovery

[HOTNebraskaGuy 19,547]

I've been a fan science late 2013 so maybe I don't have all the experience to have an honest answer but for me the worst time was this summer, and the most exciting was early 2015. She was everywhere, Grammys, Oscars, and served amazing looks and amazing performances. She was so genuinely positive and happy, you could feel it.

I've been a fan since a heard Speechless, The Fame Moster stole my heart, and every time Gaga release an album, some fans praise it, some others don't, lol.

Like, when BTW came out, people didn't like the fact she was more rocker and the lyrics were more meaningful. I LOOOOVE BTW CD, all the 80's hair metal vibes give me life. But, I don't like that era, cuz of her hip injury and she was struggling with a lot of issues.

ARTPOP was a fun album, and Gaga always served style at every award show she went. But nobody knew what songs were supposed to be the singles, lol. 

I do Love C2C, Gaga singing jazz is pure glory, and people respected her talent, even more. "But Beautiful" makes me cry everytime.

And I do LOOOOOOVE JOANNE!!!! Seriously, it's my fave Gaga' album, so far.


So,for me, there is not a "worst" time to be a gaga fan. There has always been good/bad things, but, she has always delivered greatness with her talent.

2009-2013 DEFINITELY. I woke up each day excited to see what she has in store for us. She was so creative, so lauded, so BIG. I was ready!

The pre-ARTPOP blackout - It was the absolute worst, we didn't hear from her, we only saw pictures of her in a wheel chair and then she went into the forest with Marina Abramovic and we barely got anything. My stan twitter was dead because most of her stans moved on. It was a drought.
