what?

she’s rehearsing for a tour, not working in the mines. I was not saying she should do a totally new show, I was just saying that if she wanted to, it would be possible to do so. 2 months is plenty of time.

Why would she injure herself by rehearsing for a tour? she is literally doing 63 dates for this tour, if she wasn’t feeling capable of doing them, she just wouldn’t.

You guys need to stop acting as if gaga was made of glass. Doing 63 shows and rehearsing for them is OBVIOUSLY going to be exhausting, but that is literally her job that she chooses to do. Going on tour and filming music videos is not overworking, if she wants she can get plenty of free time, she chooses to do so becouse she wants and likes to. Overworked are people who serve you food at restaurants, overworked and underpaid.

She literally got injured during TMB and developed fibro while on the Joanne Tour. That's why she was skeptical she can even tour anymore going into TCB! Jeez.

You can't take it against her if she decides to slow down. Yes, it's the job she chose, but that doesn't mean she doesn't get to take care of herself.

Just playing devils advocate here: watch her pull a Kathy Beth Terry as far as story and visual

no one is saying she should not slow down. All I’m saying is that her fans should stop treating her as a broken doll, only her and her doctors know what she can or can’t do.

Everyone needs to stop panicking every time she moves her hip a little bit more than usual when dancing. She’s a grown woman and she knows what she’s doing.

Nobody's panicking. I'm merely urging everyone to give her the grace and understanding that if they didn't build a different show for The Mayhem Ball than the one we've already seen, maybe it's for good reason. And it's possible that to keep her healthy and minimize stress is one of those considerations, given her history.

There are a bevy of other reasons it could be, of course — logistics, a focused vision for the era, etc. — I just ventured on one for people asking why it's not completely new when 2 months is plenty enough time to build and rehearse from scratch.

And I agree with you, I just wish that every time someone didnt like something, fans didnt play the health card to justify it. It is not nice, in my opinion, to talk about her health issues all the time, because she is more that that. (I’m not saying it’s you that is doing it)

for example when she performs a great dance routine some people say “wow, she’s doing a great job, having in mind that she suffers from x y and z” like can we not? not everything is related or has to do with her health conditions. Or “wow she did 2 interviews today, she must be feeling so tired, I hope her hip is okay” she is not a baby, she doesn’t need to be reminded of any of that. When she hasnt been able to do something because of her health, she has cancelled it. 

I think the Chromatica Ball in Miami is a perfect indicator of her being in charge now and being able to decide if she is doing something or not. She decided not to continue the show, she could have chosen any other option, but she put safety first and decided not to continue. If she didn’t feel capable of having this busy year, she would be resting at home, so there’s no need to remind her every day that she has a condition.
