He definitely wasn't great at what he does, because Gaga's physical and mental health should've been his top priority over selling albums Edit: It's easy to milk an artist dry and then leave with your pockets filled when there's no more left to take.

*Ten years and a week lol. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-news/lady-gaga-perfect-illusion-announcement-920371/ Ten years ago on August 17th, 2016, Lady Gaga announced Perfect Illusion as the lead single from her then untitled fifth studio album. It was her first pop single release in two and half years since G.U.Y. from ARTPOP. Although the song charted moderately after release, it did peak at number one on Billboard and Twitters Top Tracks charts due to hype following the announcement, and the song peaking so high before even being released is a rare achievement. ---- I still remember EXACTLY where I was when I saw the announcement. I'm on mobile so I can't really post it, but I still remember the colorful announcement gif with the sliding text so well.

because at that time, she felt she was being used to sell products now she feels in control of her businesses rather than a money machine i don't get why fans find this hard to realise

Oh troy… the fame, TFM, and btw were Gaga’s best eras. you are great at what you do. But awful for what you DID to her

Reading this I thought "okay tea" and I open the thread.. it's an album

Ironic that he praises her loyalty to him but he couldn't show an ounce of grace or respect to her in the end. Glad she has Bobby now Begone

And prayers

To be honest - their country, their rules - others should comply, not to sound Islamophobic. If they can't or don't want to comply, that's their problem. Coming to another country - follow the rules

Both ridiculous re: religious liberty and also from a public health standpoint. A sick person can’t wear a mask in public? Like what are we doing here

Not really surprised to see @Creyk agreeing with someone espousing ethnonationalism tbh. Among their myriad bad takes, apparently religious bigotry is another of them (and I say this as someone who doesn’t even like religion, I just believe in civil liberty). Same person who also claimed that Trump won in 2024 because of online wokeness or some bullsh*t lmao

Abracadabra debuted a #2 with 8.4M streams, GoE had 4.4M...times have changed, indeed

She said like "we got here together. Let's finish this out." And then I cashed in and left her after she broke her hip.

Because what you’re talking about is bullshit man Maybe the reason why she’s so distant now is because people like you write fanfiction about her life.

lol

I was studying for an exam and the moment she announced this I got so distracted I ended up failing the subject

Michael was telling her go home babe

I wasn't born when this was recorded

the only people using AI are those who have trouble creating... take an art class piggy

I mean, it was only a bit of zappy, lightning, yet she still decided to close the whole show early, just before "Enigma"? Why was Gaga trying to be so safe in this situation? Isn't she a pop star, not a health inspector? Did she genuinely care about the well being of the humans? Was she trying to follow WHS procedures? Was she intimadated by Ariana's reign? Was it a sine from above...

Why do you need to identify people? Mind your own business and don't lick the boots of the surveillance state. People have the right to be anonymous and if the authorities can't tell the difference between a woman wearing a burqa and a suspicious person that poses a danger to those around them or is up to no good then those authorities should find different jobs.

Holy racism batman. Most of the muslims in Portugal are from Portugese colonies and brought to mainland Portugal. They didn't come to another country.

also this man is a terrible manager and i absolutely despise that he was ever involved with gaga he got so lucky that she was so ambitious and talented

I became a fan around Paparazzi so it was great to be in time to still see her going on all these acoustic radio performance tours at that time

One of her most underrated songs ever

Non-GenAI, like the one they're using, requires far fewer resources and much less power than genAI. They'll likely produce no more waste than just standard computers which, if we're shaming them for that, we're all guilty Predictive AI doesn't require the hardware turnover that produces a ton of electronic waste, it doesn't produce nearly the same amount of carbon emissions, and it's cooled locally the same way any GPU would be.

She handled the situation competently

I’m gonna be honest. Mayhem. Its not a bad album but I wanted her to have a record like Disease-Abracadabra-Perfect Celebrity- Happy Mistake. the cheese michael added felt like a generic version of Gaga being forced to make the original LG5 for fan-fodder. she should have stuck more with the crazy mistress thing and called the album something more thought provoking. Her concepts used to be stronger.

Portugal's President António Jose Seguro has enacted a law banning face coverings in public spaces. "The face must be considered a central element of human identity and communication," Seguro said in a statement late Tuesday. The legislation, dubbed the "burqa law" by local media, was approved by parliament in July with the support of the governing right-wing coalition and far-right parties. Left-wing parties voted against it. The law prohibits clothing designed to conceal the face or prevent identification in public spaces. It also bans forcing someone to cover their face for reasons related to gender, religion, age or origin. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/08/20/portugal-enacts-burqa-law-banning-face-coverings-in-public-space

Lady Gaga's former manager and ARTPOP enemy, Troy Carter, praises the 16-time Grammy Award winner in a new interview. The 53-year-old Spotify sabotager gave a new interview with Doja Cat's manager, Gordon Dillard, where he revealed that, when Academy Award winner Lady Gaga was presented with the opportunity to work with the biggest manager in the world at the time, early in her career, the one-step-away-from-EGOT singer turned down the offer and chose to stay with future ARTPOP deserter Troy Carter Thoughts?

It's someone who everyone thinks is Adele when they read the thread title but then realise it's someone else

The classic Islamophobia disguised as security concerns as usual

what the hell does any of this mean

JENNIE - PAUSE

rip to him but his online obituary legit has another famous p-star saying he wished they collaborated before he died and maybe they’ll collab in heaven some day gays are wild

This being her second best lead single behind only Disease btw

“The cheese that Michael added” I really hate the tendency this fanbase has to give Gaga 100% of the credit when she does something they like and then pawn off what they perceive as missteps on someone else. She cannot simultaneously have all the power but also answer to others. She made the decisions on what songs were on the track list. She made the decisions a lot of us don’t like. Not Michael, not her management. She has the ability to decline doing anything she doesn’t want to and has done so.

Oh, I know it's not. I'll never understand how anyone can have contempt for entire groups of people but man, growing up in Florida and hearing everything from "towel heads" to "sand n-words" gave me such a specific ick about people coming for Arabs/Muslims. I despise religion with all my heart but I consider all religions equally ridiculous. Islamic people (of which there are A BILLION) are no better or worse than any other group of people but they are pretty uniquely brutalized in Europe and the US because of how stupid Europeans and Americans tend to be.

Top of her class at the Taylor Swift School of Arts in Scamming

Idk but it gave us this iconic clip for which I am forever grateful:

the announcement that gave everyone epilepsy like it's a banned Porygon episode When the visuals didn't match the actual song The REAL perfect illuja Ma ma pa pa pa

When the curse comes for you, Catherine & myself... what do you think the order will be? ⚰️⚰️⚰️

An acronym no one has ever used before

“We give a f*ck?” Competent my a$$
