djBuffoon 11,640 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Not at all. Gaga has always been socially conscious, and it would've been irresponsible to have Ari and the dancers all around without wearing them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dancers were actually required to wear them but artists weren't. Gaga thought it made it look like she's better than the dancers and it sets a and example if she didn't wear a mask as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresco 1,688 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The masks are a sign of the times. So current, so pandemic. 2020 looks. Fantastic and appropriate.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLuna 12,732 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 No. The masks were not only badass but she set an example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehanyo 4,250 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 99% of the press she got was because of the masks, so it was literally the best decision she made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petty 9,405 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 No. yes I would’ve liked to see her full face of course but I saw A LOT of people praising her on other forums and sites because she kept a mask on. And I think her being safe and promoting a mask made the performance that much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatelynnMarie 3,828 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 No. It was iconic. It would have been nice to see her face in full, but honestly the masks somehow go along with the theme of Chromatica quite well I feel. Chromatica is supposed to be this safe haven, but with all the dark imagery/ dark themes in the album, it just.. goes and gives it kind of a dystopian feel all while keeping her and everyone around her under protection. Plus it gives a positive message. I'm excited of her usage of masks. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the minority that thinks masks in general look super cool and badass, so idk maybe that has an influence on my thoughts on this lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatica Island 8,491 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Ugh y'all always have something to complain about, the mask was ICONIC! It reminded me of The Fame era, it was very innovative and cool! Any/All Pronouns, Genderfluid🏳‍⚧ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtpopAct2 2,672 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Absolutely not. Her looks will go down in history because of the masks. They will be looked back on as a symbol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspiria 10,683 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The mask is one of the coolest things she's ever worn. She looked like a cyborg demon bull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudz Xinc 7,929 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I don't mind the mask, I just wished Ari would have something similar. Look at those clowns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
latina twilight 2,319 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Do I wish I could see how the performance would look like in other context, with a crowd and no masks? Yes. Do I wish she performed with no mask? No. It served as a bold political statement. She's always been vocal about the importance of health care during this pandemic, the wiser decision was to wear a mask herself, and still being able to do the hard work and looking great while doing so. Also, she didn't actually needed to wear one if everyone around her were doing it, but she showed a very important truth there: NO ONE IS EXEMPT to the virus, not even rich people, celebrities, public figures, we all have to wear it. She pretty much said, wearing a mask is cool, so just do it. "YOU USED TO BE SO KIND, I NEVER KNEW YOU HAD SUCH A DIRRTY MIND". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hearing some offkey parts it was a bit of a disadvantage wasn’t it. Obviously, but that's the point.  She wanted to sing live AND wear a mask. WALK THE WALK, you know? How The Design Team Behind Lady Gaga’s Iconic VMAs Mask Put It Together "In One Week" (Elle) Sheinkopf: And balancing that with some really functional restrictions—because it was really important to [Gaga] TO SING ON THE SHOW. A lot of our design considerations were like, "What can you sing in? ... I think part of what was cool about this project was that it seems like the desire to build something like this came from Gaga [directly] ... I think it really meant a lot to her TO WEAR A MASK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartySick 134,299 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Are you kidding? I love it  aside from the fact that she made them into great looking accessories, she decided to set an example. Mask up!
