Gaga has been on a slow climb back to big success since ARTPOP. But even though the ARTPOP era can be considered Gaga's lowest point in her career, Judas was the main factor that caused Gaga's downfall. Before Judas she had already started to become more weird and political with videos like Alejandro and Born This Way. But Judas was just too cotroversial and divisive in many ways. Judas was the song and the video that "confirmed" people's ideas of her being satanic, too weird, and too crazy. This was the song that made the radio loose some confidence in Gaga simply because they were scared to alienate people. We all know these sentiments are misguided, but the GP simply saw this era this way. After Judas, she still had some successful hits, but she was no longer the top artist that she once was. So even though Judas is a great song, it was obviously a big mistake releasing as a single.

I agree to some degree but I would say Born This Way, the single, caused her polarity to ultra high level. It was a game changer lyrically but also very divisive with the lgbt message and controversial similiarity to Madonna’s song.

As a whole, the Born This Way as her particular movement resulted to some changes on how the GP would see her.

But Gaga was so brave to fight for it. It was a career defining era.

Alejandro was still a big hit and Born This Way was too. Judas was the first sign that Gaga was starting to loose her dominance.

Judas was just the result of BTW (single) heavy promo where Gaga alienated both the GP and the fans. It's when the GP stopped to follow her because it became too gay to listen to her music :/

As someone who was part of the GP in 2011, I didn't realize she was having a downfall until You and I/Marry The Night. Judas and TEOG seemed like hits to me at the time.
