Gaga’s career happy/sad mistakes

[AVeryGagaHolyDick 27,880]

Not necessarily mistakes, but for a lack of better words (and as an obvious reference to the song)

- Sad mistake: Name one great thing that happened in Gaga’s career but that led to something bad that wouldn’t have happened without that great thing

- Happy mistake: Name one bad thing that happened in Gaga’s career but that led to something great that wouldn’t have happened without that bad thing

Sad mistake : Her amazing early-career run which led to so much trauma and depression 

Happy Mistake : Joker 2 lead to Harlequin 

[AVeryGagaHolyDick 27,880]

I’ll start:

 

- Sad Mistake: When she did the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2017. It was a wonderful performance, no doubt about that! But it was quite early in her career, and she missed the opportunity to perform some of her biggest hits (her two biggest actually) and Abracadabra, which would have been amazing, especially now that she’s happy and healthy. And Richy wouldn’t have had that opportunity lmao

- Happy mistake: The Tr*y C*rter mess. He was an amazing manager commercially speaking, but Gaga would’ve never been able to keep up with the craziness of her schedule. She’s happy now!

Sad Mistake: Not necessarily a mistake, but her wanting to push the envelope in every sense (and she did, rightfully so!) led to DWUW being scrapped (first the video, then the song) due to collaborating with both R. Kelly and Terry Richardson. In 2013 I remember it played at my local dive bar for like 3 months and my friends could not get enough (they weren't gaga fans like that back then, now they respect her a lot). I'm sorry but the xtina version just doesn't do it for me. She needs to reissue that with Abel or release a solo on streaming for some ARTPOP anni

Happy Mistake: Didn't Bruno not scrap DWAS because he heard Gar was starring in Joker 2? Source. I enjoyed Joker 2, but I wouldn't watch it again

That's true ! So in way that mess of a movie lead to her biggest hit ever

sad mistake: ASIB resulting in Shallow being overplayed almost every day at my old job and driving me f*cking crazy

happy mistake: joker 2 giving us happy mistake

[Martijn 1,044]

Sad mistake: The unexpected success of pre-release DWUW leading to the cancellation of Venus becoming the second single.

Happy mistake: A random Tiktokker making a Bloody Mary edit, which then goes viral and finally gives the fan-favourite song its flowers.

Sad mistake; the missmanagment of the ARTPOP era, and also I guess the way Chromatica was handled. Not to mention her ruining ARTPOP with those HORRENDOUS features, like did she really need all the rappers and rapers on those tracks?! Also in a way the sucess of ASIB, after that she concentrated too much on acting 

Happy mistake, Joker 2 resulting in us getting Harlequin 💜 the hit that was DWAS, we were so hyped for lg7 and pissed when we got that haha in an odd way I'd say the death of tony, I feel if he was still arohnd she'd still do Jazz in a more traditional way, instead of the INSANITY she did on HQ. Also the fact that she got dropped from the OG label, it couldn't have offered what Interscope did.

Sad Mistake: Her resurgence after ARTPOP where people began respecting her for her talents that she sort of lost her eccentric personality and personal style (to the point she admitted her old style was actually inauthentic years later). 

Happy Mistake: Her fibromyalgia. It’s awful but if she never had her hip break and got fibromyalgia I fear she would’ve never slowed down or truly stopped taking drugs/drinking so much. I still can’t believe to this day she was still supposed to have another 2-3 months worth of shows after she cancelled the BTWB and then was supposed to go STRAIGHT into an album campaign for ARTPOP instantly.

Probably the unfortunate episode which led her to going into hospital and cancelling RIO performance.

Her career has shifted tremendously since the 2017 halftime show. 

If Gengar ever performed a 2nd time she could include all these too, from Abracadabra, DWAS, Shallow, ARUTW, Alejandro, Judas, Applause, Bloody Mary, Lovegame, Paparazzi, Rain On Me, Edge of W, Garden of Eden
