I was personally somewhat disappointed by that video because I wanted something more narrative like BR and Telephone. And the build up for it was so big, they were teasing it on network TV. However it still made a lot of noise and impact and generated so much news. The song was also a hit. It was still very much an example of Gaga in her imperial phase where everything she did was breaking news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we got Aura and it also kinda fits the theme but who knows. Gaga is so random it could've been Dope or Angel Down. Wrong. It was "Million Reasons". They where planning to make it "Christmas Tree" too. Jk. Haha Always Remember That You Are Special, You Are Beautiful and You Are Loved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was cute. Lately ive been into psychological thrillers with obscure endings so i like this idea of to be continued. Where's the spunk, Adam?

John Wayne is both the ending of the Joana MV trilogy and the ending of the PAPARAZZI-TELEPHONE-JOHN WAYNE trilogy. Heavy Americana imagery, on the run outlaw, Gaga kills her boyfriend in Paparazzi (her “boyfriend” representing the male music producer who abused her as it shows her betrayal by him with her fall from fame in the video commentary on the music industry and dark sides of fame), then Fame Monster Era Gaga heavily explores these ideas with Telephone showing Gaga in prison for murdering her boyfriend and Beyoncé helps her escape. A girl power anthem about partying and ignoring your boyfriend when he calls you in the club while the video shows Gaga and Beyoncé poisoning men as a symbolic of rebellion against the patriarchy, and finally in John Wayne Gaga has fully experienced the downfalls of Fame after stripping back to her roots outside of the Aura of Gaga (which aside I believe Aura - a song about who she is behind the Gaga persona - was supposed to be the original trilogy) with the world of Joanne. She then kills the Gaga persona which she felt trapped in following her rise to fame. It’s really interesting and I feel not talked about enough how much Gaga has discussed “Fame” in many covert or obvious ways throughout her career. “Applause”, “Aura”, “Diamond Heart”, “Plastic Doll”, “Rain on Me”. It’s very meta. That’s an interesting analysis, thanks! Lots of cool ideas. I think Gaga’s work is so great partly because you can extract so many different meanings from it. Her ARTPOP could mean anything. 🙌 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
