Fans' expectation for her to be in it? . I think it's absolutely ok if you don't like Taylor, or don't see the similarities that others perceive, between the song and Taylor's music. That's completely fine, and respectable. 

But the majority of her audience does listen to Taylor Swift music, and does notice a similarity, musically wise, between "How Bad Do U Want Me" and her music. I know that if you're on GaGaDaily too much, it's easy to believe a GaGa fan ONLY enjoys GaGa's music, and hates every other pop star, because they're not on par, etc; but the reality is that most pop music lovers listen to everyone . 

They listen to Taylor, and Katy, and Ariana, and Nicki, and Beyoncé, and Sabrina, and Chappell, etc. Including GaGa's audience . The "stan" world is actually a loud minority, and most pop music enjoyers appreciate all music available in the scene. So although YOU might be completely uninterested in Taylor and her music, most pop music fans (including GaGa's audience) do enjoy her efforts, and would love for her to join a HBDUWM remix, because they think she fits the song, aesthetically and musically. You may like it or not, and that's fine, but such is the truth, that is how the majority feels. 

You may disagree with them, but it is what it is 

Lady Ga Ga

Yes, the stylization that she uses herself when writing her lyrics, and the one that officially appeared when you purchased her music digitally, during her debut. We stan an og fan who pays attention

This tour IS ARTPOP.

The concept of ARTPOP is for artistic imagery to be at the front. For the music to intertwine with it.

The fact she is singing pop ditties in an opera house with references to phantom of the opera and the whole show inexplicably ends with "ARTPOP" is very telling. This is a sobered up version of the concept she had in mind all along.

She sang million reasons to her alter-ego ffs

How many songs she does on main stage?

100%. I was at the show and told my friend exactly this. And ending with ARTPOP being played over the speakers solidified it. Only something Gaga could execute like this!!!

I'm just give you a hard time  to me it's a off-putting stylization. But thank you for showing me that's how she stylizes it

So do we think we’ll get a mayhem rerelease or something soon?

 

I would love club remixes 

[uglysexy 122]

Finally managed to watch all the clips pretty much and man, what a show. Really jealous of people who get to go now 

I really really love the staging and the clever things they did with it, like the gigantic green smoke cloud during Garden of Eden, her silhouette falling down into the sand before Perfect Celebrity, her reaching down onto the stage with her hand?? So many cool details. And the act titles are super pretty now too! Love all the effects.

The Coachella/Rio/Singapore shows were amazing but this is so so well-done and thought out. The previous outfits came off as too gaudy and cheap at times and now they're just perfect, so iconic, beautiful and gothic. I really appreciate the new wigs too, the Bad Romance one sure is something 

Lovedrug was maybe my favourite performance, the dark orange sky on the top screens reminds me of Chromatica's aesthetic. Speaking of which I would have loved one song at least but maybe she'll switch something out on the next shows. Right after are Million Reasons and Shallow sang to Mayhem on the boat. I like that there's a sweeter tone to this show while the previous one was more aggressive with the "dueling". ARTPOP at the end really is the cherry on top.

One thing I noticed is that she seems to struggle with some songs later in the setlist. DWAS, Summerboy, Lovedrug and Kill for Love didn't sound as good as I hoped but I'm nitpicking.

i prefer the coachella/brazil shows but im sure this will get better as time goes on
