There were many promotions planned, but coronavirus changed everything.

Honestly, Interscope and her team need to figure this sheesh out.  Honestly no one can plan for a pandemic steamrolling your album release but they can turn around and make the most of the situation.

Host livestreams - live listening party - like the Weeknd did. 

Make a charity campaign around the album - donating from sales/streams to relief funds or something - Attach the album to positive PR. 

And to be honest she should have finished filming the 2nd video and hopefully that’s the Ariana collab one. The 3rd single can come way after. 

I’m hoping the silence means they’re rethinking their promotion campaign and not because they’re planning on delaying it. 

Wut? She would get dragged so hard if she made a charity campaign out of her album. People would accuse her of being insensitive, or trying to make money off of a tragedy or get attention. If it was a "save the rainforest" thing, it would be different, but this is a global situation which has changed the world and it would seem crass. People are already coming for some celebs who do live streams and/or perform live, and I've seen people coming for famous people who had tests even if they were very ill.

It aint a good song either but it caters to the GP. Stupid Love caters to almost no one. It is a miracle it got that big debut thanks to the post ASIB hype around Gaga's new music. 

The 2nd single is what will stick (hopefully) 

 

SL had great reviews, tho. Pitchfork, Variety, The Guardian, even NYT loved it. I understand why some fans don't like it, but so many people on here collectively deciding it "sucks" is...weird...instead of going "hey, it wasn't for me." Everyone has a different opinion.

I don't get why some act like it was some horrible bomb. Great reviews plus a top five debut in an age where pop is struggling, a leak where the most hardcore fans got "tired" of the song, and ageism. And this is from someone who liked, but didn't love, SL.

Honestly, that's why I think it's good she's keeping quiet. 

If there's some sort of benefit like that OneAmerica thing, I could see her participating without being criticized, but I think it'd be hard to pull off otherwise and might seem like she's capitalizing on a tragedy to promote her album.

Obviously we will enjoy the music but promo is important and the second best thing to the actual music! It's meant to be exciting. The anticipation of waiting for her to appear somewhere, the performances, the interviews, the hype, everyone going wild for her, the forum having tons of actual content to talk about. All of it. It extends an era for as long as possible and gets the most out of it.

Of course it matters.

 

It's a global pandemic, and people don't want to hear from wealthy celebrities even if they aren't being tone deaf....Chris Martin was getting mildly dragged for just playing the d*mn piano and a few blue check marks were getting salty at Donald Glover.

If people want the music now, I think they have to get used to the fact that there will be minimal to no promo and the numbers will be sh*t. Gaga does well because of physical sales, and no one is going to go in Target. Moreover, non-essential orders are getting delayed by a lot of places so non hardcore fans won't order a physical copy. And Interscope is in the business of making $, but they and Gaga would be fine....but it's not just Gaga and Interscope who benefit from the album. There are tons of people involved who will get screwed over if it flops.

Yep. A OneAmerica thing is pretty much the only reason to speak up, now, or maybe a charity donation/drawing attention to a charity. Some people on here are in a "stan"/"pop culture" bubble and aren't reading the mood very well.

People are so raw and angry (rightfully so), and everyone (not just people who deserve it) is getting dragged to some degree. Amy Klobuchar's husband was coughing up blood and is hospitalized (so very serious symptoms), and I saw some blue check twitter people complaining that he got a test. A lot of righteous anger, but a lot of it is misdirected. And honestly, the anger wouldn't be that misdirected if Chromatica was turned into a charity thing...it would seem crass (even if the intentions were good).

Celebs get dragged when they speak and dragged when they don’t. She can actually donate money or resource to relief funds and it would act as PR for the album as well. Then they know she isn’t all talk. 

LV started making hand sanitizers and they got tons of good press from it.

Not the same. She would be seen as making money off an album that was already going to be released, anyway, or using it to get attention. This isn't a "d*mned if you do" sort of situation.

She has donated a ton of money in the past, and who knows what she has done now. Obviously, some of it is private like we only know about the shelter after Indya Moore spoke about it.
