I don't want to be dramatic, but I feel this is the first time I actually feel sad about something Gaga related. I don't know how to describe it. It all feels so bittersweet and dishonest

Dear Little Managers, Kindly, go find a hobby instead of complaining about Gaga's team or her lack of promoting a delusional and imagined "act ii" for the 10th anniversary of ARTPOP. How many times do we have to remind you that this era was incredibly painful for her? She does not owe us anything. She has given us so much. Yes, there are many promises that remain to be delivered. But guess what? Bullying and harrassing for our own wants and needs is selfish and incredibly embarrassing. For those who continue to complain: I encourage you to move on. Let it go already. This fanbase, like many others, has become so toxic. Don't you realize that this is exactly what makes Gaga tick and what is awful about fame? The incessant demand about something from over A DECADE AGO. Let it go. Stop the drama, start the music. Listen to ARTPOP and reminisce on the memories but please, grow up and move on. Onwards and upwards to the next era of music, film, and whatever else is in store.

bling not the music

It’ll all fall apart after the fourth wash

OMG official lyrics leaked: catch me or i go Houdini travel around the world in a bikini sip some alcohol mmm martini baby show me your zucchini

By being honest. It would feel so fresh to hear her say: I can't release Act II, and never will, because of legal stuff. That's the minimum she could do right now. Her and her team had 10 years of knowing this day would come, and they still did nothing

I really don’t understand why they can’t just give us something we want. I know this is traumatic for Gaga and absolutely 10000% don’t want something to trigger her trauma, but even like a demo of a released song or maybe some visuals we haven’t seen before, SOMETHING. Idk i know ultimately it’s up to Gaga, and at the end of the day she doesn’t owe us anything, but sometimes it just gets old.

I think it's very telling how probably for the first time ever, 90% of GGD agree this is simply wrong. It better be something else shared tomorrow.

Not that simple ass water bottle being priced at £40! Im sorry but that is disgusting. This is the best her team could do? I am embarrassed for them all!

The superior version

I love that some stans continue to pretend overpriced merch is not only not a slap in the face but something to be happy about. The era / album dedicated to “music not the bling” but yeah, let’s all kiss her feet if she completely ignores hype for new ARTPOP tracks in exchange for cash grab merch.

Finally a good Pop song to save us from the Taylor Tyranny. It’s so good, Kevin Parker is an amazing producer.

Voting has closed! Thank you so much for sending in your scores. Hopefully I'll see you for the artRATE: the ARTPOP rate ceremony, tomorrow (Saturday 11/11) at 2PM (PT) / 5PM (ET) / 10PM (GMT)!

the way no one made a thread about this for hours says it all lol. it makes me so sad how little passion she has for pop music nowadays

You people are literally insufferable. Firstly, Gaga probably had very little to do with this as it’s clearly an Interscope cash grab which is nothing new. Secondly, her merch has been expensive like this since day one, so not sure why we’re shocked there either. I can’t afford it, and it’s disappointing. I personally have never been able to afford her merch and I know that by now, so again I’m not sure why it’s being treated like a new issue. It’s one thing to not enjoy the designs or be disappointed about the price, but y’all are being downright disrespectful and gross about it. Not to mention that if you sincerely thought there was new music coming, you’re 100% delusional in the worst way. There was ZERO indication by Gaga that that was happening, and anyone with basic critical thinking skills and pattern recognition could see that she is not interested in releasing old music. She doesn’t owe us a “no, act 2 isn’t happening” either. She already acknowledged the petitions/fan love for ARTPOP and put it to rest in a mature and respectful way, but somehow yall just can’t leave that woman alone about sh!t you have zero entitlement to. It’s f*cking exhausting and honestly it’s no wonder she doesn’t have the same relationship with her fans that she used to, because you can’t leave well enough alone and move on from the past like grown adults. If you don’t like the merch, say it’s not for you (respectfully) and move on. It’s the f*cking anniversary of a pop record and you act like this woman just spit in your faces and called you slurs. Give me a f*cking break

The official music video, directed by Manu Cossu with cinematographer André Chemetoff, sees Dua post-rehearsal in a dance hall, revising her choreography under fluorescent lights. The lights reflect in the room’s mirrors, creating an optical illusion as the energy begins to swell. "Houdini" kickstarts the narrative thread that weaves its way through Dua’s upcoming project. Dua notes that “Houdini,” “embodies that 4 a.m. feeling when the night is coming to a close and you're a bit sweaty, but you just don't want the party to end.” “This track represents the most light and freeing parts of my singledom,” says Dua. “’Houdini’ is very tongue in cheek, exploring the idea of whether someone is really worth my while or if I’ll ghost them in the end. You never know where something may take you, that’s the beauty of being open to whatever life throws your way. I’m looking forward to sharing that feeling of defiant bliss with my fans.” "Houdini" was written by Lipa, along with Caroline Ailin, Danny L. Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, a group who served as core collaborators throughout the project, and was produced by Parker and Harle. “A lot of this album was written in those joyous moments of absolute chaos and how I moved through the world with lightness and optimism of whatever the outcome may be,” says Dua.

I need a Nurtec®

Look at Gaga. She's the creative director of Nintendo. I like some of the Gaga songs. What the f**k does she know about consoles?

Aura (Madonna's Version) coming out at midnight y'all

I really hope her team, who forced her to drop this sh*tty merch to grab cash, is reading GGD this week and they see us not liking it and wanting the music instead

This fanbase jumping from one delusion to the next

If you are lucky like that it is okay. But I have empathy for everyone who is disappointed. Me too. Shall I say 'thank you, gaga and team for overpriced shirts and CD's we already got?' The japanese anniversary edition got no do what u want and no music videos, but a press conference.. thank you!! Thank you...' No, its a cash grab! And they did the BARE MINIMUM I cant listen anymore to all the hardcore fans to defend every decision their favorite artist do. It was for sure a traumatic phase in her life. But she must know that her fans was always by her side and no matter what, we always supported her. And dont forget she makes 24 hours, 365 days in a year money of it. ARTPOP act 2 is trending for years on social media. She knows the reaction and the support she got. But there is one thing. She doesnt give a **** about what her fans want, cause she knows what her fans want. She doesnt want it to happen... and thats okay! She is the artist we are the audience. She doesnt owe us anything at all. But please communicate with your fans, say that nothing will happen and dont let us stand in the dark. And then there are people who are still kissing her feet for nothing.

Just a reminder that “don’t expect anything and you won’t be disappointed” is not an excuse to have no standards and to not hold those you respect to those standards. If all Gaga’s team has to offer is overpriced merch for this anniversary, feeling disappointment knowing they can do better is valid. But if you’re one of those people who think $80 hoodies is a “gift” from her team, you do you.

she can keep it

Today and tomorrow will be messy days for the fanbase regardless of what happens. Gaga and her team have had years to plan for this moment, whether they wanted to do something big or nothing at all. They must be aware there will be huge disappointment if act II doesn’t come (even though everyone knows how unlikely that is) and even bigger disappointment if we don’t get anything at all. My question is, why didn’t she just confirm last year act II is never coming, rather than have us in speculation and on edge? She confirms projects that never end up happening, but never confirms when those projects have been cancelled. So much of drama could’ve been avoided if she would just clearly communicate with us.

People are allowed to have an opinion and express how they feel. (I’m not actually disappointed. But maybe shocked at the pricing). I’ll never order from her site again after how bad the quality of my last order was. y’all enjoy your overpriced, low quality goods

I guess this is the end of the road for us Act II truthers

And instead of Gaga herself, GAGADOLL will be there for meet & greets.

Don't get too excited bestie they're just applause remixes

Subpar merch design... yes it's probably real

I've made better GIFs with the ARTPOP app

Honestly one tweet could alleviate so much drama. She could just be honest, write one paragraph about why nothing is coming, thank us for our support, and done. Nb4 sHe DoEsNt oWe Us AnYtHiNg!!!

They couldn't just pick a picture from the photoshoot for each track

this is high school level designs... chile what happened to the people behind the chromatica merch designs?

I'm a puppet, I'm a sheep, I'm a Cash cow

huge merch drop? as in drop in quality since 2012 merch?

what about cheating home wreckers as the new fan base name?

sorry but no, some things need complaining about and this anniversary is one of them this album is THE fan favourite and everybody in her circle is aware of that. if there's ever a time to really engage the fans and have some fun, it's now... 11/11 is tomorrow but there's so much more that could be done in the days leading up to tomorrow and merch that goes beyond the album cover slapped on an overpriced itchy sweater her previous album had thongs and rain boots for crying out loud it's totally possible and reasonable expectation to want more than a £40 shein water bottle hopefully the complaining is loud enough for her/her management to know we have a standard and feel disrespected to have support the album all this time just for dust in return

even if thats the case- she could at least say that nothing is coming. she knew about our expectations, about the petition, all the encouragement we were giving it. djws hinted at the possibility of new music on its anniversary, so its probably not a label thing. its like shes throwing all of ur support in a trashcan. as someone said in another topic, "She doesnt owe us anything at all. But please communicate with your fans, say that nothing will happen and dont let us stand in the dark. "

sorry but I really can't understand how she's able to release a lot of questionable merch- a full dvd for japan- but not brooklyn nights or solo dwuw on streamings??? damn everything about it screams bling not the music

The Warholian expedition has been reversed a bit too far

Main pop girl energy as always. I was afraid that she might still be stuck on the FN sounds but this song feels like she took what the sonic essence of FN meant to her artistry and turned it UP with this crunchy, tame impala inspired, more psych sound. I am obsessed and I have absolutely no choice but to stan. When that bridge HITS with that reverb INJECTED "me"s repeating in the back... Would've singlehandedly ended feudalism in middle ages Europe.
