She's "back," but as a very different figure from when she was last prevalent. She was this Adele/Taylor industry-dominating figure in 2010 who commanded unparalleled attention and sales (obviously until 2011 with Adele). Through about 2012, she was the biggest pop star on the market before the AP era saw her fall, so to speak.

She may never quite hit that again, but what she has now is respect throughout the entire entertainment industry and maybe even from the general public. She's a very different woman and artist. She's working toward cementing a legacy, not just toward selling the most units and being the hottest name. So I don't think she's exactly "back" - she's sort of transcended, risen above the need to be "back" at all.

You guys are so ****ing annoying. You circle jerk over this irrelevant bitch every time she so much as breathes, convinced that the GP tolerating her is a sign of her upcoming slayage. You're just embarrassing her further by dredging out these questions this long. Her career has taken a huge hit & will never be where it was before. Move on. The rest of the world did.

No, she is just winning awards for side projects, ARTPOP her last album didn't get any relevant nomination, not to mention her last #1 was 5 years ago
