Gaby15 13,121 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think she originally wanted to release the album this year and she wanted a big comeback to pop music. Then corona happened and she loved the rescheduled date and changed circumstances less. Then BLM things also happened and she stopped completely. Some options as to why she didn't restart the promo: 1. She takes BLM and corona very seriously. 2. She is disappointed that the circumstances had so disturbed her original ideas. 3. They thought BLM would have a more serious impact on the music industry and album promo opportunities. It might have been hard to undo cancellations. 4. They thought it makes no sense to restart the promo in the summer as there is no big promo spot (and maybe they hoped the corona situation would get better and more traditional promo possible later). 5. Anything else that is not related to BLM and corona and we don’t know about. But one thing to keep in mind, the BLM takeover is still going on her Insta. She may be wondering why we don’t understand her intentions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they selectively choose to forget everything she's said and had happen to her over the last decade. Not one person here knew she had a psychotic break and was hospitalized in the Joanne era. Not one person here knows what she's dealing with now. For all we know she's sitting there in extreme pain, and people sitting here complaining about how "Katy is doing it better". I don't like to make guesses on how she feels like at the moment but yeah she does have those kind of moments and fans seems to forget about it aswell. She's most likely going to live with those "moments" for the rest of her life. In reality her efforts are so much bigger than we think because she doesn't function like a normal performing artist. This is actually one of the big reasons why I feel sad that she doesn't seem as loved as how she truly deserves. I believe that one of the big reasons why she's a "kindness punk" is also to heal herself from the pain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her last post really cancel that explanation fans love the most about her focusing totally on BLM or 'more serious things' than Chromatica. Unless expensive watches are considered being 'more serious' than music Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't judge her for it. She's a human being and we all occasionally bullsh*t. It is part of human nature. When she consciously pays attention to avoid it, she often becomes over-practiced (e.g. leftover pasta and 100 people in the room stories). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I hope she found humor in that whole 100 people joke, I hope it has become apparent that perhaps repeating the same thing for every interview is something she should leave in the past for the most part.

MiracleGg 1,272 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Honestly, I'm very tired of reading all sorts of excuses about the lack of promos and other things... Gaga doesn't want to do anything, maybe the label, or someone else. For me, the most important thing in each era was (and I remember absolutely all eras) the usual communication with the fans. This is not the case now. Yes, many fans deserve it, but not all fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzkill 5,152 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I only feel sad because this album could smash so much more if she did some kind of promo. And again, using her illness as an explanation doesn’t make any sense, she seems and is acting just fine (ok it doesnt prove ****, but she always give signals). To take action on serious matter, i think she did it bravely, but the show must go on (in a healthy and emphatic way). Let’s see what happens next, if anything too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms I am a local 2,254 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 My last hope for the lack of promo is that they have planned a deluxe version with a “Chromatica IV” with the sophie track and the target edition tracks and promote it like “it’s a new album”, with a “lead single” (one of the new tracks).
