The meet and greet was fine, she was quiet and nervous but still the same loving sweet person. It wasn't even a meet and greet it was a "photo op"

you cant be mad when you didn't buy a personal meet and greet, you paid for a group photo

She once said that once she became famous, she got to meet some of her childhood idols and she was devastated when she realized that they weren't who she thought they were. She swore to herself that would never happen to a little monster.  Yeah she's evolved over the years but one thing that will NEVER change is how much she loves her monsters. She once said that everything she does is for us and I personally still think that's true. Once the tour has a couple of shows under its belt so to speak, she'll be the warm affectionate "I love you my little monsters" mama monster that we all know and love ♥️

I love you monsters. I'd be unfixably broken without you

@Noah told me in another thread that she was running really late: "She was supposed to go on at 8:30. The Pictures were taken at 8:50 and she got on stage at 09:10. The Audience had to wait about an hour outside due to Gaga rehearsing and a technical difficulty. "

Also the photos were taken before the show that she was running late for. Add that to how nervous she would be for the very first show. I'd shut down from anxiety too! I remember her saying that if one thing goes wrong or someone misses a cue she freaks out, and being that late for night one is a big issue! Apparently some songs were cut because of timing.

 

It all sounds a little disappointing compared to her past meet and greets, but lets give her another show or two to get in her stride before we judge too harshly. It's only night one, and she was dealing with issues. Apparently she was nervously rehearsing right up until they let people inside too. Maybe the rumours are true and she wasn't well prepared...

Yes, we had to wait a little over an hour outside and a hour inside afterwards,

 

I had talked to security and apparently during rehearsal they broke/tore the stage

Sounds like my high school years. Studying the day before my exams.

Stress can't be avoided, no matter how much she loves her fans.

It was the first stop. It's not excusable since these people are paying top dollar, but it's understandable, she's a human. Lets see how the rest of these backstage experiences go. I just hope that the wording for the package won't be her restricting herself, people paying 1.5k deserve more than just a hi, a photo and bye. but again let's see what happens.

Now, I don't wanna be negative, but I will be very honest:

This is MY opinion. TBH lately it seems to me that she is sort of distant now and instead wants to focus more on her craft and art instead of being the leader of a community. This is not wrong, and I will always appreciate her anyways if that is indeed the case, but the thing that really made me love her was the connection she had with her fanbase, it was what set her appart from the rest. 

Again lets see what happens but that's just the way I feel.

She's doing the right thing. As fans, you have to stop wanting every part of an entertainer and just start appreciating them musically. Once an artists gives their all to you in an intimate setting, they lose their mystery and then fans feels like they know the artists and their every move.

TBH I've always found m&g really risky. When you're on tour you have to remain healthy so you don't cancel any shows. Maybe I'm just a germaphobe but I'd be too scared to interact with a stranger especially if I'm not sure if they've been sneezing and coughing and then hug them and hold hands with them. Plus she needs to sav her voice for the shows so talking isn't great either.

I 100% agree with what you put in tags. I've thought that for quite a while. She does seem much more distant from the fans, she seems to be over everything. I think she just wants to sit there and make music without dealing with everything else.

Idk, I saw that yesterday M&G wasn't really good.. I read she was nervous and didn't talk much to the fans. She only took that group pics and left I guess.. That made me really sad, I just immediately remembered her BTWB M&G where people could talk to her, hug her, give her presents and take individual pics for 0 $. And now this, people are paying hundreds of dollars and euros and they can't even hug her and tell her a single word. Idk, it just makes me sad :giveup:

I know that some fans were sh*t to her this era, complaining about everything, but you can't tell me that can be a valid excuse for her doing this. She shouldn't punish tho whole fanbase (especially the people who bought that tickets) because of the minority of monsters who are really sometimes rude to her and have no limits, Ik. But most of monsters are just really supportive and I know I would be really sad and disappointed to have this kind of M&G. 

So what do you think? You think she was maybe nervous because it was a first show and they had some problems before? Maybe they were late or something? You think that was the reason or you think this JWT Meet&Greet will really be so distant at all the shows this time? Hope she will relax after a few shows and be more talkative.. :giggle: If this behavior continues I will be really sad, not mad, bc I always liked that special relationship between us.. And this is just.. weird.. Idk

Probably has something to do with the bombing at Ariana's concert and the backstabbing monsters this era.

Or... maybe she had stress sh**s and needed to hit the loo. Imagine trying to get through a meet and greet when you are holding back a chocolate fountain. My bets on diarrhea.

Pre-show meet and greets are supposed to be take-a-picture-then-leave kind of process, even with Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman Tour. The long time bonding you're talking about with a long conversation would be the after-show m&Gs where she picks up fans from the audience (but in this case, it was still her first show so it's understandable why she did not pick anyone to go backstage yet)

I think it's clear her relationship with her fans has changed a little bit, but in a healthy way. She's said before she doesn't want to be seen as a goddess or to be idolized in that way, and I think some things fans say and do make her feel awkward and uncomfortable. Obviously she doesn't want to be "mommy" and she knew she had to distance herself a bit. She's been doing this for a while now.

 

but like someone said, this wasn't even meant to be a meet and greet.

It wasn't a meet and a greet, so she wasn't obligated to do anything other than pose for a picture with groups of fans.

Omg Gaga would've been shitting her pants. Can you imagine the stage breaking moments before the opening night? Holy crap. I wonder how they pulled everything together. Good thing they did because the show received great reviews. It could've gone in the opposite direction which would've had a huge impact on things in the future.

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

Didn't the show start an hour late or smth? Maybe they had to rush the M&G because of that.
