She's still editing the special herself using windows movie maker because she refuses to pay the licensing for newer software.

I’m truly grateful, but I also understand some of the concerns fans have about current GAGA songs. I became a full-on Little Monster at the very beginning of the ARTPOP era. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exciting in a way that felt alive. There was always something happening, always something unfolding, even when things around it were messy or difficult. At the same time, I carried this quiet feeling with me, a kind of longing that I never experienced during The Fame, The Fame Monster, or especially Born This Way eras. Particularly, Born This Way, “blockbuster” era, the scale, the spectacle, the cultural dominance, it always felt like something I arrived just a little too late for. So part of my fandom has always been shaped by imagining what that must have felt like. Then Chromatica happened, and yeah, COVID disrupted everything. The rollout never fully got the moment it deserved, but for me, the bigger issue was how it felt. It’s such a tight, concise album that it almost ends before you have had time to sit with it. Every time I listen, I feel like I have had a taste of something great, but not a full meal. It leaves me wanting more. That’s exactly why Mayhem hit so differently. I didn’t expect to love it this much. I genuinely didn’t, but it exceeded everything I had imagined. There’s a fullness to it, an abundance. Songs like “Abracadabra” and “Disease” feel massive, unmistakably Gaga, while other tracks might not reach that same height but are still incredibly listenable, fun, and easy to return to. I think part of the tension comes from expectations. When Gaga delivers something truly top-tier, it raises the bar so high that we start expecting every track to be that level of spectacle, and sometimes, it just isn’t, and that’s okay. Not every song needs to be a cultural reset to be worth having. What I find myself appreciating most right now is something simple that I have so many Gaga songs to live with. I have built my own playlist of the era, adding tracks like “Runaway,” “Shape of a Woman,” and “Glamorous Life” into the MAYHEM album, and suddenly it feels expansive, almost like my own version of that Born This Way special edition experience. A big, messy, generous pop world where not every track is perfect, but all of it is enjoyable, and that’s where I land with this. We don’t have to blindly praise everything Gaga does. Criticism is part of being a fan, it always has been, but I do think some of the reactions are a bit too harsh. These aren’t bad songs. Maybe they are not all peak Gaga, and that’s a fair conversation, but they are fun, they are listenable, and they add to something bigger. For me, that’s enough. More than enough, actually. Thank you!

I love Gaga more for skipping this year.

Because she wants us to suffer. Its a commentary on how people expect to receive services and good so quickly in a capitalist society. She is doing this to shatter our expectations of how fast an artist should deliver their art to an audience. Perhaps MAYHEM: Requiem does not exist at all. Perhaps Requiem is the friends we made along the way. Her mind amazes me sometimes.

Her outfit was inspired by this painting: it’s an amazing look

What a great comment to make when someone does a heartfelt post about feeling validated as an independent artist. OT: I'm so happy for Bebe, she worked so hard on this project and the rollout and it clearly is working.

She probably wanted to let TDWP2 have its moment, but I have a feeling it’s still coming in the next week or two.

I have an impression that Beyonce lost a sense of style some time ago and it's getting worse. She's a beautiful woman but these costumes, wigs, colors and ornaments don't compliment her at all. Too much of everything and nothing interesting or fresh.

the people who hates them hated them even before they were released, it's just a state of mind of hating on everything.

Imagine not attending and still being the talk of the night

Well, it seems my prayers and incantations to bring forth Gaga didn't work... This Met Gala was such a strange event - excessive, Drag Race-esque costumes standing next to barely embellished garments that look like they were pulled straight from Zara. Honestly, it was still fun to watch it live and see the conveyor belt of looks entering the gala...but considering the shear amount of wealth on display, AND the access these people have to the greatest stylists and designers IN THE WORLD, you'd expect to see a lot more iconic fashion moments... Sarah Paulson's look captured the night for me well; blinded by money and lacking a clear vision!

What a terrifying photo

I remember about it like once a year and it kills me (and Lina) every time

The site has been extremely sane and positive this past week… we needed a bit of negativity and I’m here to save you all. Choose carefully. Over-positivity forbidden.

That's the future they want. Max ticket prices, attending concerts becomes a statuts symbol for tiktok addicted rich people, and the poor ones get to watch the cinema version so they can maximise profits. Sad.

If KM doesn't fill you with joy, you are but a husk

And I hated how many of these AI looks were better than the real thing...

A federal class action lawsuit has been filed against Iggy Azalea by Burwick Law, alleging that buyers of the MOTHER token were misled by promises of real-world utility that failed to materialize. The MOTHER token has plummeted 99.5% from its all-time high, prompting legal action from investors who claim they were deceived by the project's promotional claims. https://phemex.com Purchasers allege that Azalea's advertising was designed to create the false impression that the project had institutional backing and real-world utility that it did not have. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.663300/gov.uscourts.nysd.663300.1.0.pdf

I’ll never forget him crashing out about the NURTEC ad, acting like it never happened, me clocking him for it on IG the next day, him crashing out at me, blocking me, then sicking one of his friends who runs a Celine Dion fashion fan account on me to harass me in the DMs lmao. Truly a shitty and petty person.

Madonna has in my opinion the most interesting outfit

Well, this year was quite underwhelming I'm afraid...

last year she arrived in a box and was yelling at her team and this was her outfit

I love that she pretends that she wrote Shape Of The Woman for the film

Yes girls, FIGHT

I’m so over TDWP2. I don’t want to see it mentioned ever again.

Ah yes, famously trustworthy and definitely-not-r*pist Rob Fusari. Great insight, bro I also love the misogyny double dip of these women not being responsible for their actual talents and success, but they are responsible for any fallout because of it lol

The Mayhem era simply exceeded all expectations and was as quintessentially Gaga as it gets. The songs, the visuals, the performances, the tour, the records. Yes, it felt like being transported back to the "The Fame Monster" and "Born This Way" times, and I was living for it. Every moment of Mayhem was pure gold to me! The downside might be that now Gaga will be held to that new standard she set for the next years to come. As for the current negativity around her newer releases, especially The Dead Dance, Shape Of A Woman and Runway, I do understand that it might be quite disheartening to witness people tear apart something you enjoy. Believe me, I still don't understand the "Dead Dance hate", but then again, I don't enjoy Runway that much, while others love it. So, while I also believe the hate is a little too much and at times people are being overly dramatic, I also believe in peoples freedom to express their thoughts, even if they are being hateful. Who am I to insinuate someone's taste in music is wrong? And sometimes, being dramatic comes with a bit of fun, right? In the end, its live and let live. Don't think too much about what others think of music you enjoy. Just turn up the volume and STRUT

And to think that Gaga just sold like she did in this economy. We picked the right one
