I still remember: I went to my homophobic dad's hause to watch this and when she appeared he said "oh who's that? She's so beautiful!". When I laughed and told him it was her, he was shocked
Ahhhhhh, nice to see you fellas really enjoy the song for this one especially! The album this is from is what alot of fans consider to be the initial "death" of pop/dance Gaga because of its unfortunate commercial failure (this was, before Chromatica, of course!). Applause was the only real single of the album, since the second single was the song you covered previously "Do What U Want" with Christina Aguilera - it was originally released with R Kelly right before his allegations started to hit the media hard, so Gaga basically pulled the plug on promo. The original R Kelly collab is not even available on streaming platforms anymore. The album ARTPOP itself now, though, is adored by many fans, I mean we always see this in artists with careers spanning 5-6+ albums where they end up with sort of an "underrated fan favourite" :) And I will add my vote to the hat and chime in with all the others suggesting you check out "Marry the Night", it's truly one of her masterpieces (both song and video-wise), and you guys haven't done a cinematic Gaga video in a while! It also shows more of her deep rock/metal influence, aesthetically and sonically 💜🤘
