Your happiest Gaga memories?

[Ladle Ghoulash 43,493]

Seeing TMB 2.0 was genuinely life changing, felt like a borderline if not outright religious experience to me as a teenager. Felt like a different person after that show.

Most of the BTW album cycle, but specifically when the song came out and then when the album leaked. I remember downloading it onto my phone and handing my phone to my friend after we finished a test like it was contraband and telling him the new album was on there. Watching him listen to it was honestly such a joy.

Going to the ArtRave in Brooklyn with my friends from college was also an amazing experience. Such a whirlwind and a totally unexpected adventure.

The entire MAYHEM era has been a joy, tbh. From the Abra video to Coachella/Copacabana to all of the different live performances, to the tour…just absolutely top notch. Has made a difficult period in my life so much more pleasurable.

Definitively dancing in the Monster Pit for the BTWB Paris. That whole experience was amazing. Waiting with my best friend all night long in the cold, playing UNO with strangers in the queue, dancing with a cute guy in the pit during lovegame (I should have asked his number lmao), having Gaga RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME… 

The final artRAVE in Paris Bercy also comes close, it was one of my ex and I first date. We stayed together 10 years, Gaga definitively was a part of our relationship. It's a little bit bittersweet now we separated, but we're still best friends, so all is good 

And finally, the second Mayhem Ball date in, you guessed it, Paris. Hands down the best concert of my life. Everything was absolutely perfect.

as a relatively new Monster out here:

listening to Stupid Love for the first time since we were finally getting some new music from Gaga

watching Rain On Me mv for the first time

FINALLY watching the opening night of The Chromatica Ball

hearing Fun Tonight at TCB

first time listening to Disease

hearing Abracadabra ON REPEAT on the radio

MAYHEM release

watching Coachella live

watching both opening and closing nights of The MAYHEM Ball

 

I really wish I made it to this fanbase much sooner though

When my friend and I were practicing painting our faces and making our outfits for the artRAVE  

It was a simpler time for sure.

The moment when Vanish Into You was released as a single 

[AVeryGagaHolyDick 30,683]

I don't think anything will ever top or even come close to the ARTPOP official announcement. She was still very new on the music scene and her future was quite uncertain, but after the masterpiece that Born This Way was and after her longest break ever and countless teasers, the ARTPOP announcement was almost life-defining for me. The excitement was out of this world. And the image with the mask felt so fresh and new! What a time to be alive...

I have to mention May 2011 too cause Born This Way leaking and then being released was such an amazing time.

Also, it's not particularily the best moment ever but it's quite a funny story. On the day the Alejandro music video dropped, I was 10 and unsure how I felt about it cause the men in underwear and stuff caught me off gard, but I vividly remember staring at one of my Gaga posters, telling her “I'm proud of you” and kissing her on the lips  AND I remember exactly what picture it was lmao

Oh and that same year, I remember listening to NRJ and they played Monster and then Dance In The Dark, and the radio host said Gaga's team wanted to know the public's favorite out of the two so that they could push it as the 4th single. And then, crickets lmao. Technically DITD was released as a single here right after that (and it was my choice) but she never promoted it or even released a music video, so the song just tanked

Listening to the Born This Way album for the very first time. Listening to Chromatica for the first time, going to the Chromatica Ball and hearing Free Woman live, Gaga’s Met Gala 2019

I loved the Gagavision videos she made before the release of ARTPOP. We saw a glimpse of behind the scenes and the chaotic world of celebrity life. It was fun and carefree.

She also made some videos before BTW was released. Still remember hearing Electric Chapel there for the first time.

- Going to see her on tour, especially Artrave, when I was standing right underneath her on the bridge and MBT, when I got to experience her with a friend for the first time.

- The build-up to, and the eventual listening of the BTW album. The most hyped for an album I've ever been. I was standing listening to it through headphones on my stereo in my room, staying up til about 5am, even though I had to pack for travelling to Spain the next day but not caring because it was that amazing.

- The SB halftime show. To see her achieve this dream and to do it so spectacularly with an immaculate setlist, no mistakes and an iconic ending was the stuff fan dreams are made of. 

- Witnessing her make the comeback of a lifetime with Shallow and the entire ASIB era. She could still have #1 hits, wasn't going down without a fight and was showing the world that she was here, she was awesome, everyone was falling in love with her again and she was on her way to becoming a legend.

- Seeing her win an Oscar. Everything about that night was magical. While yes, I would love it if she won the award for her acting, she was nominated for it, which is more than most singers-turned-actors ever achieve and regardless of outcome, it was still a massively successful movie campaign.

- Getting a big hit with ROM. Proved that the Shallow comeback wasn't a fluke and the song was such a bright ray of sunshine during the pandemic. 

- Getting another big hit with DWAS. While not my most favourite Gaga song, to see her still slaying it , besting her video records and breaking general records in the process makes me realise I chose the right artist to stan.
