Karen Smith 10,026 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hey everyone, I've been a fan of Gaga for several months. And I have often seen comments that once Gaga made such a huge promo that compared to Chromatica it is heaven and earth. Therefore, I have a question, could any of you describe what the whole promotion of the Born this way album looked like? As Chromatica is the first era I'm experiencing, I don't have much comparison and I don't know if what Gaga is doing now is the minimum or the maximum. Because you know, a lot has happened in the last few weeks. We have Gaga radio, Gaga vision, some material from photo sessions, preview of the vmas show. As a fan of Gaga, I am obviously very happy with it all, and I'm looking forward to the next things. So in conclusion, you can write what it looks like from your perspective. During era born this way, did gaga make frequent posts on instagram? Any interviews, photo sessions? If instagram at all was as popular then as it is today. I was 11 at the time, so unfortunately I don't remember it, especially in Poland, hardly anyone talked about Gaga, and at school the boy who was her fan was considered rather an object of mockery.

Bradley 59,023 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 During Born This Way, she promoted so much I was sick of it, if that helps illustrate the point. Anyway I'd take that kind of promotion any day over what we're getting right now. Still, we didn't have a freaking virus that would make someone sick just because they said hi to you. It's not that she doesn't want to promote now, there are many constraints. She had Coachella and an Apple Music Festival planned initially. The Chromatica Ball would've been halfway done, and Enigma would've been performed in its entirety, incorporating Stupid Love and Rain On Me if the virus didn't come in. She would have visited tons of European and possibly Asian countries too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clown 539 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 We're talking weekly performances and interviews on some of the highest rated TV Shows and Music Awards (Ellen, Oprah, GMA, Grammies, VMAs etc.), MV premieres on Time Square, posters and street art on every subway train in NYC. It's not even conparable to Chromatica honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFRatwell 23,290 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Some of y’all act like you can’t see the interviews from 2011 on YouTube, or all the photoshoots and candids on images sites. I had no life when I became a stan in 2014, so y’all can best believe I spent my life working double stan shifts experiencing past eras while livening through the Lady by day Gaga by night era. Each era kinda shrinks more and more in terms of promo. but to be fair Chromatica was going to be huge before the pandemic. So I can’t really compare.

Sherry 4,715 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Girl it'd take me days to catch up to the promo BTW had and here we are with Chromatica. Love it when you call me legs, in the morning buy me eggs 🥚 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CautiousLurker 19,282 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Out of all the eras Chromatica is the most sparse, I'd say - even Joanne had 3 MVs, a dive bar tour, VS show and SB... Coronavirus did a number on her plans, although, even without the pandemic I don't think the promo for Chromatica would have been much more extensive... which is fine, I actually really like what we got - I really like that the visuals are very consistent - I'd rather have a tighter, more concise rollout than a large but sporadic one Spoiler A 3rd MV would have been nice tho It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 she was everywhere with BTW. she even made it to international headlines in the news when Anti-LGBT protests were able to suspend her conert in Jakarta edit: I think she toured also every continent.. she had a UNICEF partnership with schools in Peru Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeQueenOfGGD 25,454 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 During Born This Way she would sometimes have like 3 costume changes everyday. A lot of people at school would talk about her, one of my teachers even watched her perform Hair on a piano. Everyone talked about Judas in class when it came out, everyone also wanted to see my Born This Way album booklet (including the teacher) when it came out. Born This Way was even being sold at airports, Gaga was a promo machine! She said she hadn’t slept for 3 days when she was finishing up the album. And all this while she was still on the Monster Ball tour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtGagaPop 61,940 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 born this era was insane, it was pretty much several interviews/performances every week for a while. We also used to to get photos of her everyday and each single had it's own little era with different themes in outfits/hair. Also she used to be on twitter all the time. now we are lucky to even get a tweet/insta post once a week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
