here she goes with her private jet, ugly bangs and flat vocals yet again

Mods please ban this user

Ok but imagine a lego set for the MAYHEM Ball opera house...I'd buy it instantly

Taylor still looking for the note on a song she’s been singing for almost 20 years

She lost the only person who was streaming her music, im afraid for the debut of her new album

Ugh, cannot stand Elizabeth Banks ...but will we get live action bootyhole?

main character syndrome

And yet she didn’t even wish the LEGO+ community a happy Pride…smdh…

ignore my stupid (love) ass i wasn't thinking correctly and thought they'd sold for like only $100k

“Tight Ends and Friends” I love a pride event that also includes allies!

Travis Kelceys concert? I thought he was a footballer

On a simi-related note, I really hate Madonna's voice It's like a pitched down version of Britney's baby voice or something. Never understood the appeal

She really thinks she's the Joker or some sh*t like that in this video, but all it's giving is:

With the giant red cage dress that actually opens to shoe the little dancer minifigs inside yes I haven’t thought about this at all

isn’t 9 figures - already over 100 million number?

Tempted to use this as my GGD signature

But she’s the most ethical billionaire who actually relates/cares about the common people!!!!!

Ocean in my retinas i got a haiku in my neck in hear the rhythm and it takes me by a shock images in my brain they come on slower then they go Another try hoping this one won’t make me see I don’t wanna peel I don’t wanna brown so im gonna Shape myself into frown i just need a bite of that sweet mush i just need a good ripe banana 🍌

Its just a similar chord. But the song officially samples Walk on the Wild Side. So lets be quiet about similarities with Gaga before she ends up being forced to credit someone else again lol

Not to mention Lovedrug sounds sooooo much better.

Miz HolyDick scrolling GGD in bed

She would be the first POC queen to win down under !

They honestly think Elizabeth Banks can deliver this line with as much depth & emotion as Lily Tomlin? Because I don't!

doesnt matter gaga sounds incredible and madonna sounds like a cat falling from a high rise building

Kavinsky (& Taylor, probably) begin circling closer

I hear the similarity, ig but Danceteria still feels like a cheesy, 2017 "Cake By The Ocean"-type song to me Meanwhile, LoveDrug is divine

we’re still making rock music ladies

The last thing a poor nun sees

you seem too playmobil for a girl with a lego set

All for a marriage that will probably end in 5 years

Imagine being a single working mom in Manhattan and being late to work and losing your job because of Taylor Swift's antics.

If I held a mirror up to you, it would shatter so fiercely

Love to hear from The Real Tops of GGD 🫦

The people in this thread who played that X video... & then commented, with conviction, that Danceteria sounds better than LoveDrug... may genuinely be deaf (or live under a bridge)

Danceteria >>

Difference is that LoveDrug is actually a solid song

Summerboy and Zombieboy were the biggest gainers in today's update, rising over 10% compared to last week! "Disease" has surpassed "The Dead Dance" for the FIRST TIME EVER as the 3rd most streamed song on "MAYHEM" daily. “The Dead Dance” has reached 200 million streams on Spotify. It’s her 30th song to achieve this milestone and 4th from MAYHEM.

I'mma need someone to shut this game of Monopoly down.

And LoveDrug sounds like “What a Feeling” by Irene Cara. I guess everyone copies.

Like clockwork, we’re having the “why didn’t a famous queer icon virtue signal to their own fan base argument” again lol. A woman who performed Born This Way every night for the better part of the past year, mind you. Would it be a nice gesture? Sure. Do I think it’s necessary at this point? No. I’m not even being defensive of her so much as I genuinely don’t understand the weight/fixation that people place on posting something on social media. If you don’t see Gaga as an advocate for and supporter of the LGBTQ+ community unless she posts something on IG, that borders on object impermanence lmao

Am I the only one disappointed that many gay icons don't share any message for pride this year ? I don't see pride as something superificial, but as a reminder that people are here for us, show support. I feel sad that Gaga and other celebs don't post anything while it's so important especually this year

something feels very hunger games coded about the coverage this wedding is getting

Lbr they look like this

Not you dragging the sexy Miz @nATAHso fiercely…

Who made her? Gay men? Because she’s a bisexual woman. So unless you wanna rule queer women out…

Eh, I also think the inverse has become increasingly true: that fans have become so parasocially attached to their favorite artists as proxies that they see criticism of that artist as a personal attack. I also think a lot of online culture has a tendency to pathologically moralize differences in taste and opinions, which elevates aesthetic criticism or formal criticism to not merely a subjective expression, but rather somehow a moral affront to their favorite artist or their own taste that requires them to then morally attack the critic in the same way that they feel they’ve been attacked. There are absolutely critics who say shitty things, but I actually think stan culture has created an environment where much of the audience is far more toxic than the critics (see: critics getting doxxed, death threats etc. for doing their job). Like I genuinely don’t see how misogyny follows from Fantano’s commentary on the tone of Halsey’s album. If he finds her framing to be self-indulgent, it feels like a cop out to sidestep that critique by using a moral/identity based defense of claiming it’s misogynistic simply because Halsey’s a woman or to claim its insensitive because of the personal content of the music. I also think the prioritizing of identity or autobiographically based arguments often disallows critique of material that is deemed to be about things that, in casual conversation, would be above criticism. Would it be impolite to critique the tone of how someone discussed their experience with cancer in casual conversation? Of course. However, art isn’t casual conversation and it is as much about form and execution as it is about the autobiographical component of the story and it is entirely possible for someone to make an album about health struggles that is bad and a critic should be allowed to say that. Maybe this is also controversial, but I don’t think it’s really necessary for critics to be nice either. I think outright cruelty should be avoided, but I think part of the bravery of being an artist is making something and knowing that people are going to potentially criticize you for it, but you do it anyway. I think it’s valuable for the culture for people to be allowed to speak freely about art and I do also think it’s valuable for an artist to also be able to develop a filter towards what is and what is not valuable criticism to them and whose opinions they value and whose they don’t. The discourse surrounding art is an incredibly dynamic and important part of culture more broadly and I don’t think audiences developing pathologically moralistic intolerance towards, in many cases, the act of criticism itself bodes well for the future of art. Without criticism, artists and audiences abdicate their agency and sensibility by, in effect, surrendering to the cult of personality surrounding an artist. Conversely, by also rallying to, in some cases, silence the critic, audiences and artists also make another critical error: they give the critic too much power. Critics aren’t totalitarians of taste. Just because Fantano or Ebert says something about an album or a film doesn’t mean it’s true, it literally just means that’s what they think and they’ve created a springboard for discussion. You’re free to agree or disagree and, imo, by learning *how* to express disagreement without shutting down the conversation, I genuinely think audiences become better able to enjoy and appreciate their favorite works, not less. Critics aren’t dictators, artists aren’t gods/goddesses. The synergy in this dynamic is the creation of works and the discussion of their role in culture and everyone of is a part of that, including the audience.
