Which era would you re-live?
I don't think Ghostin would have flopped in terms of sales/impact. I think it would have done a love me harder & charted slightly lower but would have had a cultural impact on her fan base. Come to think of it, I'd go back & change the Eternal Sunshine era as well in terms of singles. This is how I would have done it: Single 1 - We can't be friends (wait for your love). Released in January 2024 Single 2 - Supernatural. Released in April 2024. Album release 2 weeks after Supernatural. Single 3 - bye. Released in July 2024. Single 4 - Twilight Zone. Released in October 2024 Re-issue of Eternal Sunshine released in November 2024 followed by the Wicked soundtrack a few weeks later.

Which era would you re-live?
As Ariana has had so many successful eras since 2013, which era would you go back & re-live again & would you do anything different in terms album release, singles, promo etc? For me, I'd go back & re-live 2 eras: Dangerous Woman & Thank U, Next For Dangerous Woman, I'd keep the same singles other than Everyday which I would swap out for Greedy but may release them in a different order. My order would be: Into You Side to Side Dangerous Woman (I think this would have done so much better after the previous 2 singles) Greedy For Thank U, Next, the only thing I'd change is the amount of singles released. I would have made Bloodline a single in the spring before ending the era on Ghostin. I know it's such a hard song for her to perform live due to its content but I think the song would have allowed the GP to see there's more to her underneath the exterior. She wouldn't have needed to have perform or promote it.

Madonna performing at the World Cup Final Halftime Show
I feel with it being 11 mins & with so many acts announced to be performing, its going to across a little messy. Personally, id have just had the one performer as they do with the Superbowl. Madonna would have been a big enough draw on her own. Although, Shakira would have been appropriate as a solo performer as well.

The Life Of A Showgirl: Singles Treatment
I think Father Figure would have smashed as a single & the music video could have been absolutely incredible with an actual storyline e.g. 1960's gangster vibes
-
The Life Of A Showgirl: Singles Treatment
Which tracks on the album should have had the singles treatment? Music video, streaming support, radio play etc. Not including the 3 singles or the life of a showgirl as it's already charted.

Mayhem Era: In hindsight
I think they should have at least pushed How Bad Do U Want Me as a single in the spring. With the comparisons that were being made with Taylor Swift (particularly the 1989/rep eras), it would have got alot of curiosity listens which would have eventually helped turn it into a hit. Radio would have also have lapped that up as a single. I feel the same with the Chromatica era. I knew covid put a stop to alot that was planned for that era but they still could have pushed a couple more singles just to help shift the album. That era should have personally have went like this: Single 1 - Alice: music video being a dark theme to mirror Alice in wonderland Single 2 - Rain On Me: perfect video as it was. Single 3 - 911: same video, showing that GaGa gets pulled out of Chromatica when she's revived. Single 4 - Free Woman: video showing GaGa free from all the trauma & living her best life

Mayhem Era: In hindsight
I guess that's true but I was just thinking more on the visual side of things. As we know, a good video can help boost a song on the charts, especially if they play the Taylor game & make it Spotify & Apple exclusive for the first few days or a week even.

Mayhem Era: In hindsight
Although we can all agree that the Mayhem era was a huge success, I feel that it could have been pushed harder as a whole with my single releases & music videos. This is how I would have dealt with the era to give it more longevity in the upper part of the charts: August 2024: Die With A Smile (to build up the anticipation for the Mayhem Era) January 2025: Abracadra March 2025: Garden Of Eden March 2025: Mayhem album release May 2025: Vanish Into You August 2025: How Bad Do U Want Me October 2025: The Dead Dance October 2025: Mayhem Re-issue with 5 brand new tracks, including The Dead Dance December 2025: Shadow Of A Man This era definitely deserved to be pushed more with singles & visuals. I would have done the following promo stints: Coachella 2025 Glastonbury 2025 Grammy Awards 2025 (Debut performance of Abracadabra] Copacabana 2025 Saturday Night Live, March 2025 (Garden of Eden & Killah performances) The Jimmy Fallon Show, April 2025 (Performance of Vanish Into You/Perfect Celebrity) Graham Norton Show, October 2025 (Interview & performance of The Dead Dance/ZombieBoy) Either an ITV or BBC special airing in June 2025: Interview & 3 performances: Abracadabra, Vanish Into You & Blade of Grass Grammy Awards 2026 (Performance of The Dead Dance/Shadow Of A Man Brit Awards 2026 (Performance of Vanish Into You/Shadow Of A Man) Mayhem Ball: June 2025 - October 2025; February 2026 - June 2026

Rank Gaga's album names
I’ve always thought what the titles would be if she went with a different name for each & used a track title for all albums. Beautiful, Dirty, Rich or Starstruck (The Fame) So Happy I Could Die or Monster (The Fame Monster) Electric Chapel or Americano (Born This Way) Aura or Fashion! (ArtPop) Diamond Heart or Sinner’s Prayer (Joanne) Enigma or Replay (Chromatica) Perfect Celebrity or The Beast (Mayhem)

Mayhem ● chart topic
I’d replace Vanish Into You with How Bad Do U Want Me for the summer single. I think that will have the best chance of achieving a high chart position post-album release.

What do you want to be the 4th MAYHEM single?
How Bad Do U Want Me for commercial reasons, Garden of Eden due to pure nostalgia or Zombieboy for the video alone
-
Mayhem ● 7th album
I’d prefer Garden of Eden, How Bad Do U Want Me or Shadow Of A Man to be the next single. As long as Zombieboy is released in October in time for Halloween ☺️

The Mayhem Ball: Your Ideal Setlist
With GaGa looking to announce the Mayhem Ball in the coming months, which songs would you like performed on the tour? Here’s my fantasy setlist: Revised Setlist Disease Paparazzi Vanish Into You Killah Sexxx Dreams Just Dance Shadow of a Man Applause Born this Way LoveDrug Don’t Call Tonight Million Reasons Blade of Grass Stupid Love Zombieboy Schiebe Alejandro Rain on Me How Bad Do U Want Me Pokerface Perfect Celebrity Bloody Mary Shallow The Beast The Edge of Glory Garden of Eden Bad Romance Abracadabra Die With A Smile This setlist would allow at least one song from each era to be performed & the theme for the tour would be “Chaotic Love”

How would you rank/rate the MAYHEM tracks?
Update: Shadow Of A Man Abracadabra Garden Of Eden How Bad Do U Want Me Zombieboy Killah Perfect Celebrity Die With A Smile The Beast Disease LoveDrug Don’t Call Tonight Vanish Into You Blade Of Grass Not a bad song on this album. Blade Of Grass is still a solid 7/10 for me. IMO, the singles from the album should have been as follows: Abracadabra (October 2024) Garden Of Eden (January 2025) Shadow Of A Man (April 2025) **Album Release** Promo Single: Perfect Celebrity How Bad Do U Want Me (July 2025) Zombieboy (October 2025) The Mayhem Ball would run from March - October 2026 with a solid 28 song setlist.

Era Re-design
As we know, some eras have come to an abrupt end. Here’s your chance to re-design the eras & give your opinion on what should have happened. Here’s my choices: DNA Wings DNA Pretend it’s OK Stereo Soldier Salute Move Towers Nothing feels like you Salute Get Weird Black magic Love me like you Secret love song Lightning Glory Days Shout out to my ex Touch No more sad songs Power Reggeaton Lento Is your love enough LM5 Only you Woman like me The cure Forget you not Wasabi Confetti Sweet melody Happiness Break up song Confetti Between Us Heartbreak anthem Cut you off Between us

Which tracks from the re-releases?
Taylor has already released 4 of her re-releases, with certain tracks getting a push on the album release week. Which vault tracks do you think would have made good singles if given an actual push? Choose one from the list provide & explain why you think it’s the best choice. I’ve added 3 vault tracks & 2 re-records per album.

What should have been a single?
Would anyone change any of the singles to perhaps any of the ones listed above? For me, the eras would look like this: Just Dance Pokerface Paparazzi LoveGame Bad Romance Telephone Alejandro Monster (Perfect Halloween single, strong way to end the perfect era) Born This Way The Edge Of Glory Schiebe (Just screaming smash hit) Bloody Mary (Perfect Halloween single, a staple along side Monster) Marry The Night (Great way to end the era, big performance at the Grammys 2012) Applause Sexxx Dreams (Updated verses, also a clean version for radio) Gypsy (Instant smash hit, shows versatility) Do What U Want ft Christina Aguilera Diamond Heart (Strong start to the era, one of the best on the album) Million Reasons Angel Down (Great lyrics, touching) Dancin’ In Circles (Very funky track, nice way to round off the era) The Cure Shallow Always Remember Us This Way Hair, Body, Face (One of the most “pop” sounding tracks on soundtrack, would have been a top 40 hit) Alice Rain On Me Sour Candy (Was very prominent on streaming) Replay (Very nostalgic GaGa in sound, could see it fitting on The Fame Monster) Free Woman (Music video - GaGa finally breaking free from the world of Chromatica) If she had a solid team behind her, she’d be pretty much an unstoppable force in the charts.

What should have been a single?
These are the tracks which I feel that the fans & the general public view as some of the strongest tracks on each of the albums they live on.
