enissa11 2,984 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 it has indeed a hidden meaning, you do well asking, this is the kind of threads people should be making. The whole concept of masks during the fame/monster era is pretty persistent and it has a different meaning every time she's hiding herself behind a type of mask, behind her hands or behind other objects. Specifically in the tours outfits i think is representing the overall theme of the song, remember Bad Romance is about fear of love, what do you do when you have fear of someone hurting you? you hide yourself, you don't reveal who you really are, In a way your identity is disguised or even erased, Bad romance is not everything gaga is, it's just a manifestation of fear. In the video i think this is also link to the concepts of identity in pop music and how it's taken away from artists and given a new prefabricated one, and that's what they tried to do with her, the video portrays a prostitution mafia net that represents metaphorically the music industry. it also makes me think about the short films she directed during the fame ball "Who shot candy warhol?" specifically "the face", all the concept from this era are correlated conceptually, there she twists the warholian view of fame, and points out how it has turn into absurdity.

It's her self expression and she could have just thought, "wow this looks amazing!" She has lyrics in her songs saying she wears X just because of fashion. it's funny cause that lyric it's not meant to be cynical in the context of the song aura, it's meant to be a satirical view of how she is perceived, that verse of aura says essentially she does nothing just because of fashion, she's either making a statement or is driven by a move of passion on what she believes. Aura is about male gaze actually. Mad Architect of Light Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathaniel Arven 1,599 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I see 'em as variations on the white theme of bad romance. This is Gaga's burlesque performance side shining. Like... it's a tableau, it's the colour she links to BR. So it's not cryptic, it's a variation. The interpretation takes it's source in the video and song, and then evolves with her to serve her current narrative. There is something of pureness, the pure love, opposed to the darkness of Hitchcock, like despite all the darkness there is a pure love, there is an element of infection too, and then the fire again (symbolising purification and regeneration)... edit : looking back at your posts it's funny how one mask is a demon and the JWT is an angel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG THE STORYTELLING, THE SELF-AWARENES!!!! she's genius honestly!!! Mad Architect of Light Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CautiousLurker 17,408 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 The one with the horns is signaling that she's horny - she's ready to receive suitors even if just for a night cuz she extra horny (see 4 horns instead of 2 - double the horniness) The second has strong bed motif because it looks like she dunked her face into a torn pillow, so... both mask have strong bed themes which makes sense cuz bad romance... bad... bed... get it, it's all about the sexi time Men are naturally more dominating, aggressive, and logical thinking because we have balls.

hELXIG 41,915 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I think the first tour outfit was just made to kinda visually reflect the music video (creepy, odd, quirky, dark, reminiscent of the iconic white outfits with the mask in the video and the ram above the burning bed), and the second one was just made to pay homage to the first I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.
