She could never lift a finger again and still make thousands if not millions every year from royalties/streams/old album sales. She's really not struggling to pay her bills. I don’t mean it as a real struggle just that if her options are to waste the height of her popularity and not tie her brand to big bucks, or to get those big bucks, she might as well.

JoanneMonster 9,026 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 People here acting as if Gaga had 1$ in her bank account and that without haus labs she would be living in the streets... She can absolutely stop working right now and still have a perfect life where she can do, buy, and go wherever she wants. I See You Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina George 59,387 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 37 minutes ago, FATCAT said: I don't understand why everyone is concerned about whether Haus Labs is a cash grab or not. It's a product her and her team have put a lot of work into, and it's paying off. Sure, it's not music, but in a world where she can't tour there's not much she can do music wise to actually keep up with her bills. She doesn’t have to work a day for the rest of her life and she’d still have more than enough at this point. That argument is tired. She is doing Haus Labs and other cash grabs because she wants to and that is that. She is not struggling financially at all. The thing is she claims she loves music and is passionate about it but she’s just not showing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HausOfAntonio 8,021 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Just now, Kimmo said: I guess she wasn’t “really laughing” then... Well the point of it is that selling oneself is part of the cult of celebrity that Gaga has always been obsessed with, and inserting herself into that sphere comes with having to play with a system that is inherently exploitative. During ARTPOP that insertion itself was Gaga’s subversion. Today for all we know she can be laughing from behind the scenes making music with her friends while selling herself to millions and we will never know. We don’t know her mind and her day to day life after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaky Oliver 22,067 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 She released a full album, two singles including a Hot100 #1 debut, 3 music videos and a bunch of remixes. How exactly she's losing touch with music industry? also remember she was about to start a new tour and festival performances which both revolve around music too. I think it's very unfair not to take pandemics in consideration before stating things like this. Yes many other artists managed to follow new schedules but maybe Gaga couldn't keep up with them or simply felt like this is not the right time.

She just released an album 6 months ago According to this logic Adele isn’t passionate about music because her last album came out half a decade ago?

Including business launches and stuff. When she was making perfumes she hated, I doubted she had any say in the things that would have been released under her name. Now? She is independent and can choose different make up launches etc. It was never a question with dealing with quick money grabs. Everything is a "quick" money grab.. it's just that now she is liking the things that she is doing. Can anyone really blame her for losing touch with pop music? Well, I think she will never lose touch with music in general, but how many times can she really say over and over "this is the dance floor I fought for". There is nothing to return to, she is looking forward and I think the fans need to accept that . If not appreciated much of that means still getting her albums to #1 and having sold out shows then yeah, I guess you’re right Idk why so many people want to paint this picture that Gaga is always forced by fans to do dance pop. Sure there may be a handful of people who never touch her other music but it’s not the GP that made her jazz residency sold out and it wasn’t the GP or Tony Bennett’s fans that got CTC to #1.
