I genuinely think the Eras tour is going to be her legacy, much like how people still talk about Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour 30+ years later. The Eras tour & the Renaissance tour I really think have set the standard for a stadium tour higher than any pop act has achieved prior. The production, the visuals, the staging are just insane even compared to their own prior stadium tours.

Oh I'm here for this

Not sure I agree. Caridgan went to the top 10, number 1 in many cases, in Australia, UK, US, Ireland, Canada, Netherlands, Belgium, Malaysia, Singapore, NZ. And won 2 awards in China. Willow charted better in those countries above + charted better in Croatia, Israel, Euro Digital Sales chart, Hungary & hit #2 on the Global 200. And had better year end chart performance. I'd not call 2 records that have gone Platinum or even multi-plat in multiple countries as niche. But also in terms of impact - it is often the work that superfans are wild about that get cited in the pop field. The people getting into music and embarking on their own pop career as a result of an artist are the superfans. And the existing musicians taking inspiration for their own work are often in tune with the critics - Rock/Metal acts tend to talk about other albums on nearly every promo tour they do lol I'm not convinced we'll see singer-songwriters in the future citing them, but I genuinely think given that both albums are Taylor's most artistic and narrative they are the most likely.

Yeah, they probably are going for this vlog vibe which looks good in their head, but is gonna flop on stage. I still think this song isn’t gonna connect with the 30+ people and the jury and it could crash and burn with a bad staging.

From what I read its just gonna be the same shot for most of the performance? I hope theyre wrong lol

That’s exactly what she did with Trauma

The worse thing about this situation for me is realising that Gaga is no longer an artist that excites me. I’ll always love her and will no doubt return if she ever does release music etc. The thing that made me realise this is from 2009 up until last year, I’ve listened to her music daily. I’ve not listened to her since a little after she announced CBT film. That got me back into Chromatica for a week or so and then, apart from a couple of streams of “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” nothing. She just isn’t a passionate artist to me anymore. It’s incredibly sad, but it’s how she’s alienated her fan base more and more. I fear that LG7 will be the end of her “music career”. I can already predict that her and her team will just throw it out there and move on. I hope I’m wrong.

I can see both drop. Greece rumoured to have a lacklustre staging and Italy never really blowed my mind with their staging… ever? Hope I’m proven wrong tho. I can see Ukraine increase again and Croatia becoming #1.

i don't think so. Let her do what she wants to do. Maybe she doesn't know her fans that well, or maybe fans don't know her

I love Michael Jackson's music, and I consider it some of the best pop music there is. While I agree with Neil Tennant that Taylor Swift's music doesn't quite reach the level of Michael's, I still believe Taylor is a legendary artist who will leave behind a great legacy, much like Michael has. Even if she doesn't have a "Billie Jean" in her music catalogue, her impact on the industry is undeniable.

People who consume Taylor's music do so almost exclusively and those who don't click with her do not touch her material with a stick. She also doesn't have many undeniably-hit-material singles. Even her biggest hits like Cruel Summer, WANGBT or the 1989 singles have nothing on Rih's, Gaga's or Katy's big hits. It's so weird when you think about it, on paper she's like the biggest thing in music history with a MASSIVE, crazy fan base yet I never really heard her music playing in a café or whatever - probably has more to do with where I live but still Madonna, Gaga, Beyoncé, Adele and Rihanna are very well recognized household names compared to her. I always perceived her as the BTS of the white female demographic tbh

I actually listened to and love Taylor's music a lot, but hate Shake It Off. It's just a terrible and overall annoying song . Not entirely sure why there are these ongoing comparisons between two mostly not super comparable careers. I hope Taylor takes a break after TTPD and touring so everybody can stop comparing, hating her or hating on those who criticise her for a while I guess we all had heard about and from her a little too much the recent years (however I think it's incredibly impressive how well she plays her game!)

I have a feeling that those pap pics were only for Cybertruck PR

My grandma

Who's Gugu

Don’t worry, she’ll be back in a few months for JFAD promo and she’ll SERVE for sure. And who knows maybe she’ll be back even sooner than that with something else. However, this silence period should be a lesson for those who, a few months ago, when Gaga was posting every week, said they preferred when she was in radio silence rather than posting for “nothing”. I’m sure she didn’t stop posting just because somebody close to her read anything on here… do we even really know if her team or so read this site? Anyway, my point is, we should be her closest fans and stans and boost her art and cherish the moments we get to spend with her, even if she’s not making the exact type of content we’d expect/want. And sometimes it feels the opposite on here. I really don’t wanna be “that” person but I just wanted to take the chance to say this. For istance, yesterday I saw a forum about her “worst lyrics” and that page became an excuse to just talk very bad about her. I mean, really? I love our girl Gugu and it hurts to read some comments about her. Don’t forget how much she has done and she keeps doing for us. Let her enjoy her time. And let’s try to be a bit more positive in these following months that will bring us to her next big thing.

I miss her too. But I do feel confident that she's feeling creatively inspired again musically. It probably was saddening for her too that she used to feel the complete opposite about music, art, lyrics etc. That's my main take from all this. Huge progress. 💫

Except she wasnt her friend, she never even met her. Speaking to Rolling Stone UK, St. Vincent said she never met the critically-acclaimed musician, but was so “moved” by her work that the soon-to-be-released song ‘Sweetest Fruit’ on her new LP All Born Screaming was in part inspired by her. “I didn’t set out to write this tribute in the same way I never set out to write anything you know?,” she explained. “It just sort of comes. But that song was the extended product of a jam session and I loved that we could make a song around that. “I read about the circumstances of her death and it was so tragic, but this idea that she was an artist who was always reaching for new things and taking risks, right? And this idea that she was just trying to get a better look at the moon. That moved me because there are a lot of us in human history, people looking for something on the outer reaches.” https://www.attitude.co.uk/culture/st-vincent-sophie-464414/ St Vincent and Sophie had the exact same relationship as Sophie and her fans like you and I, they never met, never spoke, she only admired Sophie from a distance so it's absolutely okay to criticize her for the weird as all hell lyrics

I miss Lady Gaga making music and sharing it with passion to her fans. Feel nostalgic about it lately like you can feel nostalgic thinking about an old friend you haven't seen in ages. I just miss her anyway...

I get it but also.... who are we to judge how sophie's friend speak about her? Caroline Polachek got the same reaction over the "look over the edge but not too far" line. I get it, it doesn't sound nice and I don't like it either but I think it's weird to call it disrespectful when they knew her on a personal level and we didn't

Well, yes

But we want the signed one .

I just know she's going to deliver us something so incredible. I trust her. Let her cook a double album I'm convinced LG7 and a Batman/Purple rain soundtrack inspired record us upon us.
