does she tho? from the video, whatever she's even playing is not on the audio, she's just strumming up and down, posing and not looking at the guitar a single time, the chords on the fret don't seem on point either hahaha, honestly i get annoyed when ppl use guitar as a prop in this way, like what's the point bringing a guitar into a shoot where it will not be played at all?
Altho Gaga is not any near to being a skilled guitarist, i appreciate that at least when she brings out the guitar she actually plays it and looks at it, even when it's used on video shoots she does an effort to try and play it as seen in the Million Reasons mv, it's not just a prop.

She also said that being praised by thousands everynight and feeling worshipped did not allow her to stay grounded and live her life and that it's what she needs to create art. 

correct but the main reason was definitely the unhealthy habits, since touring was bad for her physical health (and vocal health too lbh).

Yeah and dance music was around before Gaga released The Fame too. But Gaga always has a habit of being ahead of the curve. ARTPOP is essentially HYPERPOP, Joanne was Folk/Americana/Country long before every pop star dabbled, Chromatica was 90s House before the likes of Renaissance and Confessions II, and Mayhem is very much a GlamRock record which this seems like it’s going to be. 

Plus Gaga’s had rock songs on every single album or had a song heavily rock influenced.
 

And like I said before I predicted Rock was gonna be the direction every popstar goes next. I’m fairly good with predicting trends tbh. After a small Rock craze I predict a multi genre bending in Pop now that monocultural pop music is dead.

i'm sorry did you just call artpop hyperpop?

Me too! Had the Apple Red preordered from jpc because I didn't want the standars black pressing. The next day iMusic put up the other one with the bonus track

there’s also something a little off about her releasing music right after Dolly’s death... it would’ve made more sense for her to wait a few months

I don’t really see it that way. Album releases are planned months in advance, with schedules involving the label, physical production, promotion, distribution, etc. It’s very possible this date was already locked in long before Dolly passed. And given how close Miley and Dolly were, I doubt she’d ever intentionally use her death as some kind of promotional opportunity. If anything, continuing with something Dolly was probably already aware of and supportive of could be a way of honoring her.

The fact that she's the most compatible woman artist with Gaga but we never truly see them together 

Miley doesn’t like Gaga for some reason.

I still like this better than the flower one lol 

The striking red...

her unmistakable face...

the distinctive round shapes of the fluffy coat shoulders...

Instantly memorable ⚫️🟥⚫️

The black & white cover looks like Kristen Stewart doing random sh!t

& the flower feels too evocative of Ariana's recent album scheme

 

The "variant" pandemic is annoying enough...

but when superior artwork is designated as "alternate" to main/official artwork which is weaker?

....maddening

 

Rant over (?)

That kind of red filter is so cheap though omg

It’s giving “let me use a laptop for the first time”

She already did that in pink years ago for Plastic Hearts and it looked slightly better but still not good

No Miley post at noon. I'm sad.
