Your personal ARTPOP highlight

The concept of forgetting ARTPOP while making Chromatica that explores the concept of dancing through trauma while acknowledging trauma's effect on one's psyche and memory leading one to feel disconnected spiritually, emotionally, physically, and psychologically...

My hot take is that I honestly prefer how direct Chromatica is in confronting her trauma, but I think the production holds it back from being top tier Gar

Same. After revisiting Chromatica recently, it's SO glaring how much she's hiding behind the production/drops. I think the CBT bringing the album and parts of its creation process (her "restrained" by her biggest hits in the opening; giant flamethrowers symbolic of her smoking endlessly on the studio porch; the "brutalist museum" also functioning as a prison of her fame and iconography, etc.) really made the album so much more engaging, and, as you say, is part of a larger conversation in her art that began with ARTPOP.

One time I got super high and was in the middle of a Uni class break, nothing different. I’d usually go to a park or back home to smoke a bowl and eat lunch. One particular day, within the release of ARTPOP, I was also listening to ARTPOP the song. I remember being so in to it and vibing hard, then all of a sudden I entered this psychedelic state in which I lost some of my hearing and felt very light, but could still very distantly hear ARTPOP. I geeked for a minute then I blinked and I could hear normally again. I will always associate that moment and feeling to ARTPOP.

Aura, Venus, Sexxx Dreams and ARTPOP are perfect, in my opinion.

I’d replace Venus with G.U.Y and add Applause in there too.

Yeah I'd say the iTunes festival was the highlight of the era. Finally hearing songs from the album, and the live versions which are far superior to the studio versions.

Surprised no one has mentioned the birth of YASSSSSGAGAAAA during this era

LIVES WERE CHANGED, PEOPLE DIED

Watching Applause at the VMAs after I had smoked quite a bit of Mary Jane Holland. Absolutely transcendent, tbh.

@Controversiaga That was my favorite show to watch in video for a long time. The experience you relate is so amazing, your picture with her must be awesome, with the huge and iconic wig she wore!! 

YES!!!! That wig was everything

I LOVE this performance so so so much!! It takes to some place...I don't know how to describe...Full Fantasy!!

Although I don't love ARTPOP like many fans do, the Aura leak was definitely a personal highlight because it happened on the day of my 18th birthday! So it felt like a present from Gaga herself lol

Another highlight was definitely the artRave! My first time seeing her live and she had such a great energy. It's weird to say, but she seemed way more connected with the audience during the my artRave show than my Mayhem Ball show (now I know that's probably because she was still upset about her grandmother passing away)

Having my first time while listening to Venus

 

And wanting to be romantic in the end, but my brain lagged, and I told him that I touched when he died me
