Brace Yourselves, Lady Gaga Goes ARTPOP

Lady Gaga awoke yesterday and calculated decided to share the name of her new album with the world (lucky us) … though her new tattoo last week (pictured above) should’ve tipped us all off …

Yup, it sounds like the pop star who can’t get enough of the art world is going deeper into the art world rabbit hole.

Understandably the fan reactions (which began when she tweeted her new tat) were varied:

And then this from Gaga:

I don’t know about you, but I almost vomited in my mouth.

On her social media site, LittleMonsters.com, she also hinted that ARTPOP might be an acronym for “Artistic Revolution Through the Potential of Pop.” That sounds Noble enough, but then this disturbing tidbit from a “chat” with fans on LittleMonsters.com:

Wait, what!? I think she means Pop Art was an art movement in the 1960s … oy. Once before we’ve pointed out that Lady Gaga needs a serious art education since her current tutors (Terence Koh, for one) and her alma mater (NYU) obviously didn’t do their job.

Alas, this isn’t going to be the last time we hear about art from Gaga. Now, let’s walk back to a more innocent era known as 2011 and watch this little video clip of her talking about Artpop — I’m just not going to ALL CAP the album title anymore — and how she considers herself a painter.

O, boy.

ADDENDUM:

And, as our commenter pointed out, the Pet Shop Boys produced their album PopArt in 2003 … hmmmm …
