Hi. Sorry, that sucks, but you’ve seen her a lot. So you have many good experiences to remember. To give you some perspective, I saw the MAYHEM Ball on August 7th in Seattle. My sister was supposed to see her the day before on August 6th, but she went to the hospital instead and died at 12:01 AM on the day I was going to the MAYHEM Ball. So… not to belittle your experience, but it could be much worse.

this, this is where you lost me. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, don't get me wrong... But you also saw it seven times, this does feel like a lot for an experience you've lived through multiple times. Not saying you don't have a right to feel bad, but it does come off a little out of touch with reality

She’s right! They are literally doves (rock doves to be precise) and they’re beautiful animals. I’ve never understood the hate.

not the text saying Gaga takes care of HIS audience Are we back in 2009

Don't make this a trend, 🚬s

I really don’t like how this thread turned into a “just be grateful that you saw her so many times” situation. A lot of fans do multiple shows, save up for ages and put expenses on cards that they have to pay off for several months. What OP chooses to do with his time and money is their business. A show being mismanaged has nothing to do with how much money an individual can spend on something. All EE on one side is absolutely ridiculous. I definitely would email VIP Nation. I am sorry the tour ended for you on a sour note. I hope you cherish the good moments and not feel too bad about this last show.

Oh stfu lol you idiots are celebrating when your faves makes millions but when any other person who works hard to earn their money spends it on something like 7 shows because they never got the chance to see Gaga in the past, you jealous bitches tear them apart.. Can’t you just be happy for someone else?

Billionaire and one of those who failed the recently held Bar exam, Kim Kardashian, was caught on video yelling at Justin Bieber that SWAG was album of the year. The star of the worst rated series "All's Fair" seemed excited for JB nomination and clearly already has a favorite to win that category. It is still unknown whether Kim was under the influence of any substance at the time the video was recorded. Her mother Kris immediately looked at her worried and shocked almost like saying: Kim what the f*ck is not that deep, stop the nonsense

Nope, ARTPOP was better as a concept that as album. The people who claims it's her best album it's just people that made that era their whole personality.

It was not ahead of its time. And I think its aged poorly. I think it’s her most juvenile work she ever created. Even the most pseudo-sincere songs are absolutely cringe-worthy. It’s the album I revisit the least because I think it’s sounds the worst now. Of course at the time I was all about it, and that’s all I listened to - and it served an important role in my life then, but it doesn’t sound fresh today. It’s like nothing happening in the mainstream a decade later - I think that alone makes it quite clear it couldn’t be ahead of its time.

They really love doing useless lists just for engagement

i’m just 20 and work hard besides my uni work to afford this😭 i’ve never been able to see gaga live before on tour so i am taking an opportunity i never had!!

You had 6 incredible shows, think of it that way

LADY Gaga? What’s next? Lord GOO GOO?

Apparently if an album isn’t a blockbuster success, it’s an utter failure lmao. It got 42M streams its first day. Pretty damn good for an album as experimental as this.

Maybe he tried to save you...

How childish are you to focus on the "7 shows" when the OP describes an actual issue with the tour. What happened in Antwerp is not OK and I hope they learned from this.

According to Italian journalist Paolo Giordano, Gaga will return to Milan with The MAYHEM Ball, to perform at San Siro Stadium. "An official announcement is expected soon” said the journalist: This fuels the rumors of a new European leg

Even if it’s a cute moderate radio hit, it’s still our first era with 3 radio hits since BTW!

We have our first (brief, but exciting) look at the Devil Wears Prada sequel! Aah I'm excited!

Don’t apologize for that Remember it’s the same people who burned me alive because I have 2 toilets lol

Well you are lucky you got to see her.. and 7 times at that. some of us did not get to go to this show as tickets are very expensive right now

My take: I think maybe some of the performance art was ahead of its time (the postmodernity of the “I am not one icon, I am every icon” approach specifically), but I feel like very little of the music is genuinely ahead of its time. The music has a pre-hyperpop sensibility, but never fully crosses over. Aura is probably one of the only songs on the album I’d say is truly very innovative/experimental, tbh. If anything, sonically and thematically, the album kind of feels like a retread where Gar made the subtext of her previous work (“I play the object of desire, but I’m in control,” “I’m the art and the artist”) explicit, which is effective in moments when it feels as though she’s breaking the forth wall in a genuinely confrontational way (Aura, DWUW), but feels kind of trite in other places (Fashion!, Applause, G.U.Y). Musically, it also feels like something of a retread (MANiCURE harkening back to the glam pop of TF, GUY as a mashup LG + BR, Applause’s synth riff alluding to JD + PF). More than anything, I see ARTPOP as an album where Gaga, after the controversy of BTW, was being pressured to dial it back by her management/label and resisted by doubling down on all of her idiosyncracies, for better or for worse. As a consequence, I think there’s a kind of aimlessness to the music: on the one hand, she seemed to want to placate the label’s desire for party/club music, but she also wanted to put her own spin on it and assert control over the narrative and her career, which I think resulted in a tonal mismatch between the ethos of the era and the music itself. Very interesting in hindsight and I think the era as a necessary deconstruction of her persona and the establishment of an overarching mission statement remains important, but as others have said, imo, the album itself has aged fairly poorly.

Not all, but part of it was. Mainly the over-the-top, visual marketing aspect like the app, the rave, the club costuming and the weirder, hyperactive electronic stuff like Aura, Partynauseous, Swine, JND etc Electronic/EDM was still going strong in the mainstream due to the likes of Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Alicia, Galantis, Chainsmokers, Diplo, Zedd (break free)... so there's no reason why ARTPOP had to be left out of the circle, sans Applause. And on that note I YEARN for more weirder electronic from GaGa. I need it, as does the tiktok crowd who are currently "crying for not being able to attend the artRAVE due to being 4 years of age" https://www.tiktok.com/@lady_gaga.max/video/7570146971604864264

New album "Empty Hands" coming January 23rd!

Nicki Minaj is facing backlash from fans on social media for sharing a TikTok post from The White House that lists Donald Trump's supposed accomplishments as President of the United States. The post features a graphic that describes Trump as a president "who prioritizes Americans," while adding, "No men in women's sports. Border is closed. Our cities are safer than ever. Criminal illegal are being deported. Gas prices are low. World peace." Source: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/958373-nicki-minaj-backlash-sharing-donald-trump-achievements-hip-hop-news

I mean, I believe it reached the people it needed to reach These are great numbers.

This album is fascinating. Almost every LM I know at some point in time leaned on this album to go through a difficult stage of their lives. For me, this album brings back memories of university, pre-drinks before nights out and great moments with friends.
