Dear Little Managers,

Dear Little Managers,

Kindly, go find a hobby instead of complaining about Gaga's team or her lack of promoting a delusional and imagined "act ii" for the 10th anniversary of ARTPOP.

How many times do we have to remind you that this era was incredibly painful for her? She does not owe us anything. She has given us so much. Yes, there are many promises that remain to be delivered. But guess what? Bullying and harrassing for our own wants and needs is selfish and incredibly embarrassing.

For those who continue to complain: I encourage you to move on. Let it go already. 

This fanbase, like many others, has become so toxic. Don't you realize that this is exactly what makes Gaga tick and what is awful about fame? The incessant demand about something from over A DECADE AGO. 

Let it go.

Stop the drama, start the music. Listen to ARTPOP and reminisce on the memories but please, grow up and move on. 

Onwards and upwards to the next era of music, film, and whatever else is in store.

And how do you justify a $90 low-quality hoodie, I'm curious.

Name one mainstream pop star with quality merch. These are set by the record label and there is no interest in quality, it's all about being a cash cow. Trust me as someone who has worked in the music industry. You'll see most quality with indie musicians.

Aren’t you a little manager yourself with that post? It’s giving me “Go see her in Vegas” vibes

For sure. The fact that people are already getting so defensive and sassy is telling

Well, if we're being messy; @Cello is a no good homewrecker. She ate my leftovers, got wine stains on my white cardigan, harassed my cats and broke one of my china dishes.

DO NOT invite her over to your dinner parties for future reference.

Sincerely, a disgruntled citizen.

Doesn't it prove that she does not care then ?

For exemple, I remember when Lorde released her merch for "Solar Power", she was very hands on and transparent about the fact that the prices were higher than usual - because she herself decided to use high quality and sustainable materials.

Gaga's merch just feels like a slap in the face, because she is not involved in the process and could not care less about it.

Inaction is the same as acceptance :

We are being treated like moneybags by her label, that does not seem to bother Gaga - therefore we are being treated like moneybags by her as well.

the only thing I have a problem with is exploitative $45 water  bottles. i'll be disappointed if no new music comes but i'm not going to be a Karen about it - it's right that Gaga as the artist only releases what she's comfortable releasing. but $45 for a water bottle is disgusting

drop the superiority complex, buddy.

Now listen here you little toilet scrubber. You are mixing me up with that no good bloated fur suit! Just you wait for the CC Grammys red carpet because there will be pearls coming straight for your runway

I don't disagree with you here. It's just facts. There's an illusion that the artist is in control of ALL aspects of their commercial work. It's simply part of the large music machine that involves labels - it's incredibly complicated, really. This is part of the ongoing discussion as to why artists get incredibly frustrated with labels and what kind of work they are greenlit to put out. It's about ownership.
