Runway has been nominated for Best Dance Video at the VMAs 2026.

Not only is it an old clip, but it also misses the point of the statement “ALWAYS BEEN COUNTRY” as it relates to CC: that “country” as a genre is a construct, given how the album both plays with its roots, it’s current format, and it’s potential future. Not to mention the political exercise of reappropriating country as a black woman as a way of reclaiming a different form of patriotism from the white nationalist far right. Not even a Beyoncé superfan and that has always been fairly obvious to me lol

They lost all credibility for me when they awarded Katy the Most Iconic Performance over Madonna's Like A Virgin performance, and Gaga's 2009. BLATANT rigging

Lone Ranger, Beyoncé whose country-inspired album Cowboy Carter won both Best Country Album and Album of the Year at the Grammys—has been exposed after a years-old video resurfaced showing her admitting that she had never listened to country music, despite being born and raised in Texas and later claiming that the genre originated with Black people. Thoughts?

I don’t think it’s relevant since country made itself a very unsafe space for both Black and LGBTQIA+ people for over a decade, and she’s correct about Black contributions to country music. I’m grateful to Gaga, Beyonce, Orville, and several others for making country more accepting and accessible for people like me over the last ten years, and I’m glad the CMAs have feelings about it. People can seethe all day. Frankly, I’ll still be bopping to Cowboy Carter, folks can keep Blake Shelton and his cohorts lol.

now put it on the ARTPOP tracklist bc its absolutely the crowned gem missing from the overall listening experience erase history with herstory

Post the solo one I hate the production on this one

billie should’ve won AOTY for HMHAS

VMAs are basically irrelevant these days lets be real. But i'm still kind of shook to see them platforming Madonna like this instead of chasing the latest gen z trend artist

Do I still *use* it? No, I listen to it.

I don't like the way this is phrased 'cause regardless of her personal experience with the genre, the fact that it has its roots in black American culture is absolutely fact

Just once I'd like to see a platform like Netflix say "we'll just pay the fine and keep it available". Then if the government says they have to remove it or their platform will be banned entirely, they say "k, see you in a few years when you catch up to the 21st century". Stand on business and have a real code of ethics. Otherwise, keep your bullsh*t "LGBTQ+ movies and shows for you" to yourself this June.

sunday to sunday I can turn the sunday into a sunday

"Get a job or become a slave" isn't exactly the political message I would go with but hey

Queer country artists deserve better than this statement

he is objectively good-looking but the way he tries so hard kinda makes him less likable I dk if anyone feels the same

https://x.com/gagadaily/status/2089657535703753067?s=46 KATSEYE say they kept reminding themselves of Lady Gaga when facing the initial backlash to “Gnarly”: “She didn’t care if she made people uncomfortable. She fully puts her artistry into something and people in the beginning will not understand it.” Thoughts? I for one see a lot of artistic parallels.

So that's ok, but those Epstein Files are completely off limits. Hmmmmm.

I’m pissed they just re-released ARTPOP without it instead of replacing it with the solo version if this was going to happen anyway. Gaga probably just wanted to remove his name and didn’t care what else happened. Removing Do What U Want is like removing Bad Romance or Dance In The Dark from The Fame Monster istg.

Boba tea (Gnarly) Tesla (Gnarly) Fried chicken (Gnarly) Partyin' in the Hollywood Hills (Uh) This song (Gnarly) Oh my god, that new beat (Gnarly; f_cking gnarly) Oh my god, is this real? (Gnarly) (Everything's gnarly) Oh, we're in a session tonight, gang, gang Oh, we're going out tonight, gang, gang Oh, my god, this song's so lit Congratulations Now you be like, "Gang" Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang (Haha) Gnarly Gnarly Everything's gnarly Na-na-na-na-na-gnarly (Gnarly) Na-na-na-na-na-gnarly (Gnarly) Na-na-na-na-na-gnarly (Gnar-gnar-gnar-gnar—) Everything's gnarly Hottie, hottie, like a bag of Takis I'm the sh_t, I'm the sh_t (Gnarly) Obvi, obvi, they be tryna copy I'm the sh_it, I'm the sh_t ... and they didn't even write it

I think the video also suggests the song is also, in part, about Gaga “power bottoming” in the music industry: giving male execs what they want on the surface while, ultimately, controlling her image and setting the agenda.

Why is he still alive?

And who can blame her honestly

*mouthful of socks* Give what back?

And people that i know think I'm over reacting when I say I won't travel to Turkey, dubai and other places. They say "it's absolutely fine..". Well, clearly it's not. Mind you, these are straight people saying it to me.

Give us the R Kelly version and just withhold the royalties from him lol, no other version cuts it

I'm good with this too I just like the solo version the best R. Kelly's profits all go to his victims anyway

“Fruitless” and yet, they’re all fruits…

She paid like how Gaga paid the 2020 one

Younger acts love Gaga and look up to her a lot and I think that's great. There is no comparison in that quote, just respect and reverence.

It doesn't sound like they're comparing themselves to her so much as looking to her for inspiration when they feel misunderstood or treated badly

We've had three Bad Romances (Bad Romance, Judas🗑️ & Abracadabra) But only one Paparazzi 📸⭐️ The spooky production alone sets it apart in her discography & then her high, airy vocals seal the deal. The verses are so creepily addictive & then the chorus is so PRETTY its almost unfair

Least problematic thing a frat has made the news for 😂

And racial minority acts. And tbh the original outlaw acts as well.

LoveDrug with Miley & Stevie Nicks

It’s about third-wave feminism and being wilfully submissive. She said so herself when it came out as a single. The music video though also made it into being about the fact she was “at the bottom” career wise and she was okay with it. (Even if we all know that was contrary to what actually happened else her rebrand would never have happened after.)

No shade, but I wish we'd stop with this "solo" requirement. If I'm not mistaken, it only began to be used when Die With a Smile became a huge hit as a way to discredit Gaga's success, claiming that Bruno was the reason it was so popular. Now it's being used as another metric to pit women against each other and detract from their accomplishments OT: I genuinely had no idea Zara had another big hit on her hands in the US! I stopped following the charts years ago though

More than a dozen Penn State frat brothers were busted for running a complex cocaine trafficking ring out of two separate fraternities that forced young pledges to cut and bag the drugs then sold to students, according to prosecutors. A whopping 14 people — including a Long Island native at the “very top of the food chain” — were slapped with charges in connection to the multi-state trafficking scheme. Four of the charged are current Penn State students, while nine are alumni, and one is a dad. The fraternities, Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon, reportedly coordinated with suppliers in New York and Philadelphia, trafficking in the coke and distributing it mainly to Penn State students. Agostino Abbatiello and Thomas Robinson — of Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon fraternities, respectively — were the main suppliers in the scheme, with Abbatiello frequently traveling to New York to acquire large quantities of cocaine between 2023 and 2024, the investigation found. Penn State has since suspended Delta Upsilon while it investigates the frat and said Sigma Chi is not recognized by the university and operates outside its supervision. https://nypost.com/2026/08/18/us-news/13-penn-state-frat-bros-busted-in-cocaine-trafficking-ringincluding-ny-student-at-top-of-the-food-chain/

English isn’t my first language, so I genuinely didn’t realize that “claiming” could carry the implication that I was questioning whether it was true 😭 I just used it as a synonym for “saying” or “stating.” I wasn’t trying to invalidate the Black roots of country music at all.

Go to church

Paparazzi. It's pop perfection.

Oh Abra im so sorry but Paparazzi is TAKING IT
