If one • represented one mile and both Katy and Gaga were travelling 100 mph, it would take Katy 4 minutes to reach her destination, while Gaga would need 324 minutes (5,4 hours)
And while obviously imperial phases tend to coincide with periods of great success, the band had very big hits before and after. So the idea doesn't just refer to a commercial or a creative peak, or even both at once. I'd suggest you need three things for an imperial phase: command, permission, and self-definition.
Since this thread becomes "Drag Gaga without WPs" daily let me just say that she really is being stupid as hell this era. I mean her management better get it together fast if they want to remain employed cause there has been SO many bad decisions this era from the applause video to the album cover. Homegirl better be on point next era cause even if she serves another fame monster no one is gonna be here for it. Not even the homos that she so willing pandered to last era. I honestly believe that Black Jesus's instrumental alone can transform you into a gay. I refuse to believe that the same woman who clawed her way up to the top would willling let it go so easily for her "art".

So that time that I said that Gaga fans could drag her better than the haters.......
People were as fascinated by Britney-- especially during her meltdown period-- as they are by Lady Gaga now. But there was a crucial difference: Few seemed to care whether what Britney did artistically-- her music and videos-- was any good.

Gaga, her imperial phase started when she grabbed this permission-- when the story stopped being whether she's wearing pants, or has a dick, and started being inescapably about the work she's doing. There's a will for her to go further, to get better each time, which must be intoxicating-- of course many imperial phases end in hubris.
