act 2s or Part 2s are very common and i’d love for Gaga to have 1 under her belt as much as i want her to do a Bond song. 

 

That being said, i think Chromatica is Born This Way 2 in some ways.

Sometime back I made a thread about how Chromatica had similarities to both BTW & ARTPOP  I made a draft on my notes before sharing here. The following is from my notes

Reasons why Chromatica era is a tribute to the Born This Way & ARTPOP eras

BTW:
- Lead single released in Feb (2011, 2020). 
- Album released in May (2011, 2020). 
- Lead singles (BTW, SL) follow similar chord progressions. 
- Biblical references. 
- A remix album is released 

ARTPOP:
- Both album names are not real words in the English language (“Art” and “Pop” are words but ARTPOP is not, “Chromatic” and “Chromatically” are words but Chromatica is not). 
- Both albums have dark lyrical content about mental health with high tempo clubby/dancey beats. 
- Madeon and Tchami return as producers (Gypsy, 911, Applause, 1000 Doves). 
- References to being an enigma. 
- Events out of Gaga’s control (a split with management in 2013 and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020) caused delays and/or cancellations to promotional events of both albums. 
- A duet jazz album recorded with Tony Bennett is released before the tour ends 

Both:
- the return of the word “Ball” in the tour name (The Born This Way Ball, artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball, Cheek to Cheek Tour, Joanne World Tour, The Chromatica Ball)
