Is there really no promo?

my guess is:

- singles aren't that profitable anymore

- the second single will tie into releasing the album so it's a 2 for 1

- gaga is already a major established artist... looking at her peers on her level, who else is actually putting in as much effort into their singles than their debut years? beyonce hasn't even provided a music video since 2020, taylor didn't bother with singles until TTPD dropped, billie has done a tiny handful of performances, ariana's album came and went

people like sabrina and chappel are everywhere because they need to push their songs as much as possible to gain a decent following for tour tickets in multiple locations

This is what is ruining pop. If that was the case back in the 2000s/2010s for artists like Kylie/Madonna/Britney/Janet etc what would have been the point in an era. 
Pop music has become more niche recently, I really wish that artists and labels would have a realisation that there is profit out of promotion and singles, each Gaga single used to be a mini era, that is what people bought into, so the fact that now for what feels like 8 years? we have had nothing interesting happen, or something to create waves when it comes to a single release, now should be the time.

The haus and her label believe LG7 and the next tour will just sell by itself. 

Imagine having that level of confidence running a business and taking that risk

The issue is that for an established act, even a flop will still let you sell out a decent sized tour and make ridiculous profit (see Katy Perry's upcoming tour in Australia). 

And touring arenas or bigger is infinitely more profitable now than a big album era. 

It was already moving this way in the 2010s but now it really is true that you release an album to tour. Hell tours are often announced pre-album now. 

So it really only benefits smaller acts looking to grow like Sabrina to have big singles because it increases the size of the possible tour.

This silence is maybe due to DWAS success that Interscope wants to preserve or bc of "Joker 2" flop. 

May her Joker 2 haters who dissed her, all suffers same as LMs and the Joker 2 cast did. 

May the so called "gay agenda" come true and make them suffer. We want a gay batman, a gay robin, a gay eric cartman, a gay Patrick Bateman, a gay every single of their idols. That would instantly destroy all those men-childs who bullied Gaga. 

I think I already said this many times but my prays will maybe be heard. 🤭

It feels very.......reductive

Maybe foolishly, I think this is something different. I think she knows this project is exactly what we want. I think she knows we’re still obsessed with that song, she said she could feel our energy for it. I agree, that was a fun day to be a fan. 
Basically I think she knows this album is going to smash us in the best way, I think she’s just edging us

this sounds like lame excuses from fans who tried to do the work for/ instead of Gaga's PR team. sorry

Maybe the election results are what is dampening everything

I honestly think the original plans banked on JFAD being a massive blockbuster and when they saw the VFF critics reactions they hit the breaks knowing the film was a bust. 

Likely released the "lead" single to keep fans happy because can you imagine the meltdowns on this site if we sat through Harlequin & JFAD bombing and didn't have an October LG7 single to cling to? 

I feel like the actual commercial lead single will drop in January ahead of the album coming in February and that will be the proper start to the era - completely severed from JFAD. 

This makes the most sense. You don’t release all that stuff so close together unless you’re banking on synergy to power it all…and JFAD ended up being a dead battery.

Todd Phillips failed to generate a film worth a buzz...

[Omar Vela 2,492]

The JFAD critical and financial flop is the only one to blame. The election has anything to do with this, I've noticed she isn't as devastated for that as the first time the cheeto won. Because anyone realistic enough knew that he would be the winner. Like everyone in the world already knew Trump would be the winner (even if we didn't wanted that)

So I'm sad because this should've been the best start of an era but Todd ruined everything... Im happy he is still hiding and hope he never gets to direct another movie again. Gaga didn't deserve this flop

In what world is joker flopping the reason gaga is doing no promo? If anything it will give ppl something else to focus on

Tbh I’m starting to think they felt pressured into releasing this early after all the mess they made teasing all year long. Maybe we don’t have any physicals/merch/pre-orders because they’re still working on everything but had to act quickly, It backfired though hehe

that’s why they released the worst song on the record first WBK

Promo 🥲

But why is there a need to restart anything? Nothing went wrong. They just never started 

Releasing a whole ass single and video isn't starting something?

That film had an incredible amount of buzz this year but the film itself killed it. It literally plummeted in opening weekend revenue after people started to actually see it.

Are we seriously so myopic as a fandom that we're forgetting how much anticipation there was this summer? For Joker and after the Paris preview? Not to mention all the promo Harlequin got.

There's been a TON of buzz about what she's about to do this year. Where is that same enthusiasm for her own musical project?

Because if she'd have stayed in the view of the GP while every headline was about how bad the sequel was to a massively popular film. The album would have been tied to its failure. 

The only people who would have seen it as something else to focus on were the fans.

Sometimes the best thing to do when getting bad press is to just bunker down and let it past. Because now no one besides hyper obsessive fans of Gaga or Joker are talking about JFAD. The GP have moved on entirely.

Which means come January, Gaga and team can reboot the era.
