Does anyone remember how big her career was?


From 2009 to 2012 she was the biggest pop star in the world. A phenomenon. She was so ridiculous famous back then it was aggravating. Then after 2012 she has a huge drop in popularity. The next album was a flop as with the others so she went to movies instead. People don't even know she was a pop star anymore lol, some people just think she's an actress.

she should have stuck to trying to write as many hit songs as she possibly could. her songs won’t last like madonna or debbie harry.

I enjoy her songs more than those two.

And I’m an old guy.

I would say 2008-2012, to be precise. The Fame was released in 2008, and songs like Just Dance and Poker Face came out that year too

After Born this Way in 2011, she quickly went down in popularity. Her only hits nowadays seem to be collabs with white-hot musicians, like Bruno Mars and Ariana Grande. But she was, at one time, the biggest musician in the world

Yeah it was special tbh

She was kind of like Madonna early in her career. I don't see anything wrong with her moving into acting.

From what I have read (and don't ask me where I read it. I am 73 years young and forgot what I had for dinner last night!), Lady Gaga said in an interview that she wanted to experience all that show business had to offer.
While she was touring, she started to get tired of the grind that takes so much out of performers, which was coupled with living with chronic pain, as well as going through a psychotic break and being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Gaga also talked about the PTSD she has after being "raped repeatedly" when she was 19.
