I wanted to make a thread to discuss this dream in one thread instead of bringing it up randomly in other threads. I noticed a lot of people wanting it, both in the Gaga fandom, and in the NIN fandom. There's a lot of things that has happened, mostly coincidental, that I'm sure it really just her wearing her influence/referencing it, or simply working with the same people, but these things have made me more and more hype for the potential of it happening. - she's had NIN listed as an influence since her MySpace days - She covered NIN's version (iirc) of I'm Afraid of Americans, a song Trent appeared on the music video and remixes for. It's a staple song that he performs on tour - Her stylist (I think it was Hunter Clem?) shared a story of her wearing that car dress, using the song Closer in the story - She included multiple NIN songs on her Sirius XM radio station, and cited NIN as a big inspiration for Mayhem. Closer, Hurt (I thought Down In It was there too, but maybe I'm misremembering things) - Shes implied she's met him multiple times, using the word "stoked" to describe it, meaning it must have been a positive experience for her - Trent has liked an Instagram post reporting how she said she "blacks out" in his presence, could imply he finds amusement out of it, in a good way - She wore a NIN sweater - Trent's wife Mariqueen follows/knows(?) the designer Gaga has worked with for her bodysuit at Mayhem Ball (Zana Bayne), obviously this is more coincidental and celebs share designer contacts. That same designer attended NIN's LA shows two weeks ago, and attended with Hunter - The creative directors/studio Gaga worked with (MTLA) for Harlequin, Harlequin special, Mayhem's album artwork/marketing/visual videos and the Disease Music video, are the same folks that worked on the Tron NIN reveal, NIN's recent Peel It Back tour, concert visuals, and the Alive As You Need Me to Be music video. Note that this small studio/duo opened last year, includes a long time Gaga collaborator Todd Tourso since 2010. Publicly, their first two clients seem to be Gaga and NIN, but I'm sure there's more that isn't posted about? They also attended many of the NIN shows. - Sarah Tanno last week shared a TikTok using a Closer mashup - Tosh, her drummer, did a cover of NIN's Wish last week - Trent is generally more open to pop music these days: working with Halsey, enjoying Espresso, and Dua Lipa's Levitating, in which he said he teared up to. He's also a Rosalia fan, and watched Katseye with his family at Coachella 26 - Tosh was just on a podcast where he said Gaga told him to approach his drumming like “Nine Inch Nails and Rammstein playing over EDM” and “that’s her vibe” - Freddie shared a makeup/hair tutorial on 10/27 wearing a NIN shirt. I commented about needing that collab and he liked it - Josh Freese, NIN's tour drummer, joins Gaga for the Abra Grammy's performance - Mayhem Requiem - Killah has NIN vibes, Gaga reshared a TikTok of someone saying this - Stu Brooks, who once worked for Gaga during The Fame, is now NIN's tour bassist - Mariqueen Reznor wears headpiece made by same designer (Zana Bayne) who created Gaga's bodysuit at Mayhem Ball - NIN Coachella set was creative directed by MTLA - KILLAH REQUIEM. - speculating she’s wearing a nin tee with tape covering the logo in the requiem behind the scenes - she saved a TikTok video of someone asking her to make a rock album next I really want to know what they talked about! Was it in passing at an awards show/some kind of exclusive event, or more one on one? I think most of this is just coincidental/sharing contacts/representing her current influences, but we can dream
