Lady Gaga Held An ‘ARTPOP’ Twitter Q&A: Here’s What She Revealed (Including Claims Of A Sequel)
With just under a month untilARTPOP drops on November 11, Lady Gaga held a Twitter Q&A Sunday night (October 13) to answer any lingering fan questions about the album (and about waffles). She revealed a bunch of concrete details regarding the making of the project and the forthcoming rollout of singles and videos. Mother Monster also relayed more conceptual stuff, such as the definition of the term “artpop” and the album’s “joy” throughline.
The biggest bit of news, though, may have had nothing to do with this new album, but rather, the next one. Gaga claimed she has already begun working on the follow-up, which for now she referred to as ACT TWO. Head below for the most relevant tweets from the session.
1. It looks like there’s an ARTPOP sequel in the works.

2. Artpop, defined.
@stewcrack_ It is an exchange between to artists, one from the sphere of pop, the other of art, that results in a true meeting of the minds

@YummyPasta94 POPART put the soup can on art. ARTPOP put the art on soup can.

5. ARTPOP is an artsplosion.
@stace_of_base it is a complete and total transportation from pop culture as you know it into an explosion of art fantasy, rage and eros

6. ARTPOP is rage. But it is also joy.
@HausOfMarcela yes, very personal song but it became very freeing. Put a lot of rage into this album. Its been hard to part from it.

@JaFr123 I explored different genres on ARTPOP. But the concept behind the album sonically is a throughline, everything relates through joy

9. Gaga wants to perform the album in sequence on tour.
Favorite part of tracklisting, that APPLAUSE ends the album. My dream is to do the entire album top to bottom every night at the show!
