Did you avoid writing “choreographer” on purpose? Asking for a friend

I do believe the lead will be released soon, I don’t doubt Blade at all.

Gaga hasn’t posted anything LG7-related since 2020, I think she posts it now being 100% sure it will be released SOON (the real definition of “soon”)

I have no idea what she wrote music about. My guess is that it will be much more avant-garde than Joanne and Chroma, but the singles will probably be more simple the rest of the album since they have to be kinda commercial. (Perfect Illusion was the opposite of commercial though, so who knows?)

Also, I do trust her when she said she was more inspired than ever. I think we’re IN FOR A RIDE.

I think I might add something about touring rumours though cause that Mexico rumour has been flying around for ages since like, August time last year, and if I recall the facebook page where it came from has been correct in the past? lemme research
