Theres quite a few celebs now that social media has aged and theyve all settled into it, purely use it for PR. as opposed to the early years when it was kind of like the wild west and people were tweeting things left and right. the only difference is.....theres some artists that know how to finesse their social media and make it both PR and just personal enough. I feel like Gagas so guarded at this point *justifiably* that where she lacks compared to some of her peers a la RiRi or Nicki, is that aspect of realness and interaction. Shes so disconnected and when we see her on TV shes more often than not got her media-trained robo responses that its like, too veneered. As someone thats followed her a long time I see where and why this disconnect happened and I don't blame her honestly. Shes gotten a lot of flack and not just from media and randoms but her own fans as well. She obviously knows this and she feels it therefore disconnected. But I just wonder, is it going to be like this forever? Where we feel how affected she is by this through her disconnection? Or is she ever going to be active on social media again for real and we see that shes a human being and not just an aristocratic philanthropist lady that was once a rockstar.

First I want to say thank you for actually reading what I was trying to convey. Iām always shocked as sh!t and love it when we can have an actual conversation on here instead of just trolling each other (which Iām sooooo guilty of too). I think the days of social media being real for any celeb (hell even us regular people) are over. Itās just not what it used to be.Ā As far as LG - I think she is 10000000% done with social media as a way to connect with fans the way she did years ago. Itās sad but as you said understandable. Donāt get me wrong,Ā I think sheās still one then realest baddest bitches out there, Priyanka Chopra sheās not.Ā I think everything has layers - her interviews for example are heavily PRād to death but her answers I still believe are genuine, just curated. For social media - ugh I hate keep harping on the Dan of it all - but again layers. They have some sort ofĀ relationship and needs it out there so the Bradga garbage would die. So again genuinely curated. I think we would love for LG to bring back her āDevil May careā roots but only people like Dave Chapelle who are okay walking away can do so. LG isnāt finished yet. And cancel culture is real.Ā Sorry for writing a book ššš Iām blonde, Iām skinny, Iām rich and Iām a little bit of a bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe maybe they have a fling, but as you say, its being exacerbated simply to dispel the absurd rumors that seem to be affecting her negatively. thats kind of classic with gaga at this point that only some people seem to be able to handle, is being able to differentiate her authenticity beneath the PR mask.

I dont think shes not genuine so much as guarded, again. I think a lot of stars are just scared of social media these daysāit's really become out of control and cancel culture over small sh*t is real (it's not always just right wing as*holes trying to make excuses). Off the top of my head, I can think of a few examples. Lorde tweeted a photo of her bathtub and "I will always love you" and people thought she was making fun of Whitney's death...and it blew up and was covered by several big blogs...when it was just an unfortunate coincidence. Rihanna was accused of bullying a fan by writing a semi-snarky reply. And there's the unfortunate truth that stars wrongly get blamed for the small, but vocal, part of stan twitter that acts unhinged. JMO but I feel like Gaga is very aware of this sh*t...and after the mess between Ed Sheeran and little monsters, which somehow Gaga got blamed for...I feel like that was sort of the beginning of her checking out of social media. And I think it is understandable to a degree, because it probably makes social media stressful and it's probably frustrating for her to get wrongly blamed for other people's BS. I agree she could lighten up a bit, but I think she's "trying" to do so with the studio pics and the cooking pics. They can't really be mined for drama and are a bit curated, but are still snap shots of her life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Hope this made sense, I mostly agree as well but a few things to say; Itās not just relationships tho, although thatās the hot topic. Everything on everyoneās social media has a bullsh!t filter on it, literally and figuratively.Ā But I live by the rule: āif you do something nice for someone and have to tell everyone about it, you did it for the wrong reasonsā That applies to everything tho - if someone shares something on social media, thereĀ is a reason, and itās not just to be open! If you think sheās so in love with Dan and so over top happy that she felt the need to share it with us, cool. Enjoy that. I donāt want to take that connection you feel you have with her away. I truly donāt. But I donāt believe it. She shared it because she wants fans, tabloids, Russian trolls and the GP to moveĀ on from Bradley. Stevie Wonder could see that.Ā And I stand by what I said, she IS putting it on blast, just doing it in a way where itĀ doesnāt appear like it. Thatās how celebs do it now. Itās also not her making the posts, itāsĀ her assistant.Ā That being said, Iām just speaking in terms of motivations of her posting. I donāt know how she feels about Dan. They look like they had fun at the concert. Thatās all any of us can know for sure. It could be true love, or they could end up hating each other. We donāt know.Ā I will say this tho, and itās just my opinion: when LG is in her endgame relationship, we wonātĀ Ā know a damn thing about it. She will just show up married one day.Ā I know this all sounds like judgments but itās not, itās more like celeb observation.Ā Ā Iām cheering her on. If you read most of my posts on here, Iām always in trouble for telling fans to stop being mean to her.Ā Iām blonde, Iām skinny, Iām rich and Iām a little bit of a bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
