The shift from The Fame Era to the Born This Way era was quite the transition. She really completely reinvented her image. This was not only her first huge transition but probably one of the biggest transitions from a pop girl. 
 

She COMPLETELY changed her image, aesthetic, sound, & style from TF/TFM Eras. 
 

She literally went from this

To This

Her visuals were much darker too

And her sound went from light & bubbly electro pop/ euro pop/ r n b pop

To dark pop, techno and house

Don’t forget her street style/ fashion too

What a transformation. A completely different direction from The Fame. This transition proved she was a true iconic artist and was here to stay!

you kinda missed the transition from TF - TFM - BTW tho 

 

the end of the fame she became way more edgy and fashionable and it kinda evolved naturally imo

It’s like she got constantly darker with her music and visuals. Having Paparazzi as the transition Single was a great idea as it was the darkest song on TF too, can you imagine if she actually ended the era with Summerboy :selena: but yeah, I love the transitioning

pop ate my heart

TFM is an entire album, era and artistic movement on its own, with its own aesthetic and themes. It's frustrating when they put TF and TFM on the same category. Even Gaga counts them as two completely different projects. And the dark imagery was actually at its peak in TFM. BTW is very lighthearted in terms of message

If she hadn't broken her hip and had to disappear for a bit, I'm sure you could do this with BTW 🔜 AP transition.

Clearly, the OP is one of those types that believes LG2 is BTW not TFM.

The transition felt so substantial yet smooth. From a simpler TF to a heavier and darker TFM to the quirky BTW it all felt gradual.

Well they’re making it seem like TFM never even happened.  
OP only shows visuals from either TF and BTW but no acknowledgment of what happened in between- which WAS HER PEAK.

The first two years of her career was such a visual change I didn’t think they were the same person

Maybe they’re quoting Gaga’s tweet.

 

except it’s TFM.

Actually tbh I don’t. I do believe TFM is its own record but I just wanted to do a transition from TF to BTW to showcase how she went from light from the start and then dark and edgy with her third album.

TF to TFM was definitely a big enough change to be mentioned all on its own. 

TFM was where the darkness started that led into BTW.
