Hardest fandom moment?

[Mirrion Rizzons 11,711]

I was very much GP about Gaga until mid 2016, so personally the worst time was mid - late 2017-late 2018. 
 

I think seeing her in a bad mental state, as well as her ongoing chronic pain struggles, losing sonja was hard as a fan. I was looking forward to seeing the JWT in early 2018 but my London show was cancelled the day before, and then we didn’t really see much of her until ASIB promo and Enigma

 

While we didn’t see her much in 2022, 2023, 2024, I could tell she was in better health and happy with Michael, so I didn’t mind the silent phases

Purely from a fandom perspective, I think Chromatica, followed by ARTPOP->Joanne

 

Chromatica felt like a lot of lost potential and for 4 years we had nothing except from a movie, DOC and CBT.

I started watching the Zane Lode interview for Chromatica and in retrospect it feels like she wasn’t there and/ or did not want to be there, while with MAYHEM she looks so happy

Well as a new stan I would say the Joker 2 mess 

I know there were lower moments but I wasn't a fan so... and she recovered pretty fast from the Joker flop so yeah

Oh no baby Joker 2 was A MESS, the amount of hate she was getting was something I hadn't seen since Brazil I'm devastated, def top 3 worst moments in her career. Props to her PR team because her previous management wouldn't have been able to recover from that lol two months later nobody even remembered she was in that movie and Abra was topping the charts

I think the whole hip stuff was stressful, just the idea that she might not perform anymore was depressing.

Harlequin has been the hardest thing for me to wrap my head around… The Swine performances during ARTPOP also a struggle. I love the rest of what Gaga has done. 
 

I do not get how people dislike Chromatica!!…it is probably my favorite album of hers. The music and the aesthetic are  I am sorry she was in a very terrible state writing the album but I will always love what came out of it.

ARTPOP without a doubt. 

The Nurtec era had me thinking she completely lost her mind, but hey we’re so back 

Lady Gaga, actual patient

Joanne era I was afraid I'd lost all my interest if she didn't return to (dark) pop. When i saw the MR video i was like 

"Brazil i m devastated"

The month-long delay of the release of chromatica literally killed a part of me.

I think fans over hype it cus it was the last era of the old gaga, who always gave street looks and mega promo

there was a lot of confusion, miscommunication and undelivered projects (understandably, now that we know why), i always see fans talk about how amazing it was when really... it wasn't

she did everything she could to put on a show but i think people let nostalgia cloud what really happened

Sorry but no, that era WAS amazing

Sure, a lot of sh*t happened. But it was whole ass serve, except the fact that we only got two MVs.

The Aura leak, the amazing photo shoots, the Applause MV debut in Time Square, the VMAs, GMA (twice), the iTunes Festival, all the magazine covers, the tracklist reveal from the fans, the artwork slow reveal live on NY streets, the snippets and promo singles, the Gypsy debut performance in Germany, SNL, the YT awards, the acoustic performances with the dolls, the ArtRave (being shot professionally), Volantis (although useless and kinda miserable), the dozens of fascinating interviews and looks, the AMAs, Allan Carr, Graham Norton, Machete Kills, Sin City, the Holiday special, The Voice (twice), the Tonight Show, the Roseland Ball, the SXSW show, the different Gaga exhibits, C À Vous, the Woman Of The Year ceremony, the final artRAVE being streamed live and so on…

Yes it was a mess, but it was an amazing one

for me, joanne era cause idk it didn't seem authentic and seemed forced, along with mediocre at best music, and ofc with Chromatica era cause it all came to a hault after releasing such a good album and it didn't seem like she cared about much during the pandemic. it was hard to watch other artists feed their fans and give them something during a hard and stressful time for many meanwhile Gaga went silent for the era after the Oreos

Chopanne era with her trying to heal her republican dad most definitely
