June 13Jun 13 So it’s looking like the GMA thing was just a re-run!Still nothing concrete on what’s next for the era besides the tour. Seeing some “insiders” say Zombieboy music video in August and that’s the next single whilst others are saying How Bad Do U Want Me is a radio single in some territories. Nothing for the UK though typically on that front!
June 13Jun 13 Author Yeah it was nothing really. Oh well, the tour starts fairly soon so at least there's that.
June 13Jun 13 That is awful, waiting 6 months before the release of the next single???What on earth is she/her team doing? I hope the rumour is false and there’s SOMETHING in the works before she kicks off ‘Mayhem Ball’ tour, because she’s not doing ‘Mayhem’ any justice right now.
June 13Jun 13 It does feel frustrating. She’s been super busy and she’s actively promoted this era a lot too! I can see that she may have been too busy to film a music video but these days they don’t make a difference. Her team just need to put something on playlists and get a lyric video out there or push something to radio! The chart units are so tight that a few hundred extra sales could push her up about 15 positions on the chart!Insiders (if they’re to be trusted) did say June so I guess we wait! I guess her focus on this era so far after Coachella was on doing things for fans who’ve waited like a decade if not longer to see her, in a way she’s always fed the UK and she’s coming here in October too (prays her team somehow manage to get a “audience with” esque show filmed whilst she’s here tour - I think something like that could be great promotion.
June 14Jun 14 Author Obviously her focus now is the tour as it will most likely be a new show, at least conceptually.She might have show the video too... or not, hard to tell.

I get her touring the world is the priority but there is clearly a gap between TUDUM and the first July show. Sabrina Carpenter made an album, a music video and released multiple songs in the midst of her also touring (yes I know Carpenter’s tours are not as extravagant and thoughtfully planned as Gaga, but using it as a mere example).‘How Bad Do U Want Me’ was named as a Song of the Summer. At that point her team should’ve pushed a lyric video and the song to radios and Spotify playlists (and if a video comes after, great as it keeps the momentum up). Before that, it went viral with various celebrities using it on social medias so it should’ve been pushed with the album campaign as fast as they could (look at Taylor Swift’s 1989 TV era and how responsive the team was when they saw ‘Slut!’ wasn’t doing justice and quickly hopped to ‘Is It Over Now?’ 4 days into the album release). We get how ‘Vanish Into You’ was the one she wanted, but it’s clear the momentum now lies on ‘How Bad Do U Want Me’ from the general reception to it from the casual fan base/GP.The whole thing just FRUSTRATES ME! 😭 Edited June 14Jun 14 by Oricon
