Maybe the title tracks theme has become more basic but VERY few people have yet to address transgender issues or topics like immigration laws the way she did in this record. Sonically it's also still up to date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were released today she would be ‘cancelled’ in 5 mins Honestly, I even cringe a bit when she performs the song now. Considering she’s going to be performing it until she dies, I feel like maybe she needs to replace it with something else...

Guest Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 She released that album at the peak of her popularity. Everything was about her. I don't think it would have made the impact it had if it was released 10 years later. Although I do think the music on BTW is vastly superior in comparison to ARTPOP and Joanne.

ArtpopAct2 2,672 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 It probably wouldn’t be as iconic because BTW itself was a big part in normalizing talking about these issues in music. When Gaga started doing it, everyone else did. That said, it still has its moments where it can still be very powerful even today. She directly acknowledged transgender validity during her Super Bowl halftime show simply by performing a song she had released 6 years before. BTW the song’s lyrics are very upfront and I don’t think others have been as upfront as it was even today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
