Has anyone noticed the cover art that appeared at the last second of the Venus Official Video on Youtube? I've never noticed it before. What was it for?

It's an alternate album cover for the song as part of the photoshoot by Steven Klein

it also appears at 1:54. I assume it's just for variety, like the way the colors also change throughout the video.

Gaga even tweeted about it as "Venus 002" meaning a second cover

VENUS  music video was my dream

The comments asking to release the music video. They didn’t know what was coming.

I just wish she didn't ask that stupid question on Twitter of "Which one do you want to be the next single?" Then we would have a Venus video and no one would be talking about DWUW.

Or better I wish we hadn't been so stupid for choosing DWUW over Venus...

Thank goodness I wasn't a fan at that time yet.

What exactly am I looking at here? I can’t tell what this image is suppose to be. An animal skin?

DWUW as a solo song is great, but what ruined this was the fact that Gaga brought R Kelly into this and kept Terry Richardson around.

His exploits were well-known for YEARS at that point and she was an idiot for sticking with him.

I see the bat now! It’s still weirdly blurry/filtered. I wonder what relevance that had to Venus in Gaga’s mind...

While the whole photoshoot was done by Steven Klein who he has a very particular aesthetic when it comes to his work (spooky, macabre, intriguing), it could also be possible that it was a reflection of her thoughts and headspace at that moment. Maybe she was having dark, troubling thoughts? We'll never know, I guess

This was a part of a series of covers

If you look at the Alejandro video, the Fame commercial and visuals, C2C photoshoot, they all have a similar, signature SK vibe so I'm guessing it was primarily an artistic choice
