I am the baby and I had a long talk w the head btch about LG8 and why it needs to be full of only songs that sound like ABRACADABRA

I will wait and have zero demands or expectations. She just had a baby. I don’t expect we’ll wait, but I sincerely hope no one starts melodrama if we do.

I just know the young fans who never got to experience her early days fell to their knees knowing she's absolutely never gonna be like that again now  
I'm personally both optimistic and also not phased. She does enough side projects for me to be happy, I love her beyond her music. If she keeps doing Haus Labs stuff, maybe a cameo here and there for a movie/tv show, keeps doing things in her brand. I'm more than happy to wait for an album. Also if she just makes music and drops it with no promo or expectation I'd also be happy.

I suspect her new family dynamic will absolutely change how she works, businesses function, touring etc. I think she'll go halfway between the Beyonce and Rihanna route. That she'll do side projects, maybe the odd thing here and there but no touring for a few years, not being out in public with her child much (like she's not gonna have the kids on display like Rihanna, Bey and Nicki Minaj do). But maybe she'll sparingly drop music here and there. I don't even think she'll do a social media post to tell us she's had a child.

Yes, it is sexist to assume that women cannot do/don’t want to do both in equal measure- motherhood & pop "stardom."

But you could also argue that there are equally sexist undertones to holding expectations for LG to do the opposite, simply to defy any “norms" or whatever. We shouldn't be comparing her approach to balance to the way Beyoncé, Adele or any other woman did it/does it.

As far as her hunger for cultural relevency... she is Lady Gaga.

This woman will have a loyal, built-in fanbase by default for the rest of her life, no matter what she does, & regardless of her release frequency. She knows that… & she is in no rush to prove herself as a "megastar" anymore.

🔮  I am obviously speculating here, but I personally think her priorities will shift so significantly in these next few months/years that she may seem like an entirely new person to some (perhaps stubbornly deluded?) people.

She is a mom now. That is going to come before anything else in her life, forever after. 

As far as LG8 is concerned... I think all bets are off, time-wise.

BUT I feel confident that she will not tour again for QUITE a while... not for the next album, & maybe not even for the one after that.

For better or worse, I see residencies in her future. She has made it abundantly clear that she enjoys that type of environment.

(& obviously it will be "for the better;" her family can have stability/routine & be together as much as possible, compared to the chaos of touring).

But overall, we should probably just relieve ourselves of any expectations in general lol

Which is kind of exciting... uncharted territory

Very much agree with this and it’s a great way to put it. Women in the industry will react to motherhood and approach it in different ways, because women are different. With no insult to Bey in particular, she worked for Blue to become a cultural icon and trademark from her birth. She was prepared for that, it’s what she wanted for her kids. Gaga is clearly wanting to keep her baby and family entirely separate from her life as a pop star. That will involve different decisions which is entirely within her right. But any idea that she would put her career before that baby - or future babies - is delusional.

She could have already been nearly done and maybe she finishes and releases next year. I could also see the LG8 ball being like a residency or limited to allowed more fam time with less travel

2027 guaranteed in my mind

[Lord Mayhem 3,630]

Well now that she didnt have to HAVE the baby and recover her body...she definitely has the money, freedom, and energy to do whatever project freely. However, I'm sure she is taking it slow and adjusting to having a new baby in the home. That's not an easy thing but I'm sure she also has nurses and nannies to help so she's fine.

She does seem to be in a happier place so she will release new music when she's ready. No rush...MAYHEM is still a fresh album and hasn't aged at all.

please, the baby didn't stop her from wearing a new designer outfit, put on a wig on and makeup her face.

Sis would tour with the baby, the nanny and Michael all together, just to make the fans happy.

She's a workaholic..

So 2027 radio Is ours!!

No if she doesn’t release something next month I’m unstanning. It’s so selfish of her to make us wait this long for LG8 and then instead she goes and has a baby?????????????? Like she doesn’t care about music anymore???? 

Ikr and like I've been supporting her for 17 years and she only knew that baby for a couple months???????????

I’m gonna be honest with regards to this I don’t think she gives a **** in terms of what’s best for her career or cultural influence or accessing audiences. She’s just had her first baby and it’s something she’s wanted forever, it’s a dream come true for her. She may release something, she may not, but I doubt she’s thinking about her life right now in terms of chart success. 

Gags please take as longggg as you’d like hun, i just want her to be at peace and happy 💕💕

Late 2028 is very much plausible for LG8 if she starts working on her music in 2027. I believe she is already writing some songs. She can go on tour in 2029-2030, by that time Gaga's baby will no longer a baby, the child will be attending kindergarten and there will also be a nanny or home tutor with the child.

[monketsharona 90,655]

Still think 2027 is a strong possibility for an album knowing she has been working in the studio during the tour late 2025 (perfectly knowing her life was about to change few months later)

That said I don't see her touring for a moment

No shade but that kid has a dad, I'm sure he totally can handle the baby when she's working. That's basically how any normal human being works on Earth
