I think I’m ready for the Chromatica era to be over. It was one of my favorite albums through the pandemic and got me through a new job, a big breakup, and a cross country move, so I’ll always associate with those big life changes. I was underwhelmed by TCB though and overall, it wasn’t my favorite era when compared to Joanne (don’t come for me ). 
 

I think what I’ve realized since TCB is that Chromatica became a more private album for me. Listening to it by myself, dancing in my apartment, just alone with my thoughts and feelings. Because I had that more reserved and individual experience with the album, I didn’t care for it in a stadium experience and just didn’t care for TCB, which was an unfortunate way to end the era when compared to JWT for me. 
 

beyond ready and excited to see what’s next though

i actually can relate to this in some form.

i'm not entirely ready for it to be over because i love the album, aesthetics, and the tour so much, but this era has a lot of very negative memories attached to it for me. i was in an abusive relationship throughout a lot of the time Chromatica was out. when DoC released, i loved it so much too, but i was still going through post breakup, so it's just a lot of memories of a really bad time personally and worldwide happenings. 

TCB is my fave tour she's ever done, but when i was there, it wasn't as fun experience for me. i was screaming/ singing and grateful to be there, but it was just a lot for me. weird stuff went on as well with the people in my section/ on the merch line. super rude/ mean, and making fun of gaga/ the show/ fans the whole time. in comparison to the JWT for example, it was entirely different. TJWT gave me this very intense euphoria and feeling of safety. my experience at TCB was opposite. it just kinda felt like this anxiety ridden, sad, embarrassing (because of my screaming), awkward experience for a majority of the show, which is a shame. i had more euphoria and hard hitting emotions when i was watching the IG livestream from Düsseldorf with everyone online. i do have to say though, Free Woman live for me was definitely peak, like i felt like i was transported back to the early 90's in an ethereal state. i hope they release TCB film, it might be a better experience to watch it like that. 

thank you for sharing that like, reading what you wrote made me really start thinking about maybe it's a private album for me as well, and that's partially why it felt awkward at TCB. i'm ready to see what happens next as well as Joker. that has me SO excited

I think Chromatica served its purpose for me.

I struggled with my mental health during the era so I associate the music and the videos with that and I don’t really listen to the album anymore because of it, but I’m grateful that I had that with me then to help me through that time.

I guess you could could call it a trauma response? I’d just rather not remember those hard times and move on.

I’m sorry to hear about all of that but glad that the album was able to help you through that period of your life. It can be such a strange feeling when you have such negative life events related to an album or era. When Chromatica first came out, I liked it, thought it was cute, but not my favorite. I didn’t feel the “dancing through the pain” that Gaga had talked about it in interviews. Then a few weeks after the album came out, my now ex went out with friends so I had the apartment to myself for the first time in god knows how long because of quarantining.. Listening to the album with my headphones and dancing around the apartment I suddenly got it. Listening to Fun Tonight that way was like a slap in the face and made me realize how unhappy I was at that time, so hearing it live at TCB was a bit cathartic but by that point in the show I was 100% that person not having fun that she was talking about in her speech before the song. 
 

That’s really unfortunate to hear about your experience at TCB with rude people and the likes as well. I understand what you mean about feeling safe at the JWT, though. I was fortunate enough to go to 4 JWT shows. I was really struggling when the tour started–Vancouver and Tacoma were a few weeks after a pretty traumatic breakup where Joanne had carried me through the last half of the relationship anyway. Ending the show with Million Reasons was something I was not emotionally prepared for so it put me in a super weird mindset. I enjoyed those shows, but ultimately made some really not so great decisions after those shows and had a few breakdowns. The SLC show for me was probably peak concert experience though. I got really close to the people I was in line with all day, was front row on the barricade, and just had the most amazing experience. As much as I was struggling during that time, I felt safe and comfortable in the floor of the arena. It felt like being home in a weird way. With how much bigger TCB shows were since it’s an outdoor stadium tour, and so many more causal fans than previous tours, it just didn’t have that feeling at all for me. It was really hard not to compare TCB with JWT  or even TMBT and I really hate I couldn’t take TCB and enjoy it on its own. Comparison truly is the thief of joy.
 

And oh my lord, yes, t anxiety- my social anxiety was on high alert the entire show, especially when we were exiting. I was more than a little panicky a few times. The cameras pointed at the audience didn’t help either - since we were in the 5th row of the pit we saw ourselves on the screen quite a few times. I was wearing a bright shirt that stood out so every time that camera was around I felt the need to be performative and attempt to look like I was having the time of my life which was a bit draining. I was sunburnt AF, feet hurt from wearing converse, and was just feeling really weird, so that was an added dimension I didn’t need LOL. 
 

Yes, I’ll be excited for an official release to experience it again and hopefully have a different experience that way. I had watched live streams for most of the shows and really enjoyed them which was why I was a little taken aback by not necessarily enjoying my time at the show in person. Overall I’m grateful I went, though. I went with two friends I haven’t seen in a few years since we all live across the country so more than anything it was amazing to be together. I’d gone to previous shows by myself so it was different experiencing it with close friends.

Cant wait for her celebrity actor era again.

Such a rollercoaster ride of an era. Honestly, Chromatica era feels like the end of a phase for Gaga. She matured a lot, she now knows better how to take care of herself. It feels like the next phase would really show us what she really wants to do, like the things she left on the backlog...and now she's coming for it. CBT felt like a fan service but still being focused on what Gaga really wanted at that point. And that made this tour really work, it felt balanced, felt more authentic/raw. In a way, the pandemic really made us think through a lot of things, made us stop, step back and reflect. Chromatica is like that too...it's healing.

I can’t believe the Chromatica Ball is ending in a few days! 

I remember waiting for the new dates to be announced back in March so I could buy tickets, counting the months left as time passed by, travelling to Paris with my mum to attend my first date...

And now it’s been 1 month and a half and the tour is ending!

I still think of my experience being there every day, specially how I was about to die from happiness during Rain On Me, and I’m not ready to stop seeing new content of the tour on Twitter and Instagram every 2-3 days
