Part concert, part press conference, part flying dress debut, artRAVE attempted to present the album as a more exclusive, capital-A Art project, though with lukewarm results. While revisiting this special, I couldn’t help but recall artRAVE, the two-day promotional event that preceded the release of Artpop. A truncated version of the special exists on YouTube, but there’s no mention of the special on ABC’s website, suggesting they don’t remember Artpop, either.
The special is loosely pulled along by a one-sided feud between Gaga and Miss Piggy, the latter of whom is convinced Kermit is leaving her for the singer, nevertheless, they all make nice by the time the encore performance of “Applause” rolls around.

Over the course of the special, Gaga runs through the majority of Artpop with the help of a couple of her famous friends: she sings “Fashion!” with RuPaul, “Bennie and the Jets” with Elton John (on sister pianos, changing “Bennie” to “Gaga,” naturally), and, with proto- Cheek To Cheek panache, sings “Baby It’s Cold Outside” with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (because, okay, sure.) Elsewhere, Kristen Bell tries to teach Bobo the Bear how to dance, Kermit and Gaga sing a duet of “Gypsy,” and the Muppets make ensemble appearances in “Venus” and “Artpop,” mostly bouncing and swaying in the foreground. Though primarily a vehicle to promote both Artpop and Muppets Most Wanted, Lady Gaga and The Muppets Holiday Spectacular, which premiered on ABC around Thanksgiving 2013, is nonetheless one of the most delightful, if completely incomprehensible television specials of the last decade. The Artpop era, mired by complications and false starts in its first months, was in dire need of a brand refresh, and who better to pivot towards than the Muppets? “Do What U Want,” Gaga’s song with Kelly, has been pulled from streaming services and all future CD and vinyl productions (Gaga has since apologized for working with Kelly in the first place), and its video, directed by Richardson, was scraped. There was an app, then there wasn’t Gaga organized collaborations with Inez and Vinoodh and Marina Abramović, as well as R. The rollout for Artpop was excruciatingly complex. An aggressive, synth-heavy testament to Gaga’s love of fame and being famous, the song leaked online the weekend before its premiere, prompting a hurried release and a guerrilla marketing campaign across Los Angeles, in what she described as a “pop music emergency.” A promotional video, in which Gaga declares herself “over,” encouraged fans to “stop the drama” and “start the music”-most especially her music, available on iTunes. After a labral tear on her right hip forced her to cancel the final dates of her Born This Way Ball tour and into seclusion earlier that year, she revealed the title of her next album via tattoo (posted to her own social media site, ), and released its lead single, “Applause,” that August. In 2013, Lady Gaga was the biggest pop star on the planet.

“Into” is a series dedicated to objects, artworks, garments, exhibitions, and all orders of things that we are into-and there really isn’t a lot more to it than that. Lady Gaga and The Muppets Holiday Spectacular.
