During her first Vogue cover-story, she said as much then. I love BTW and I am glad that she truly took a risk and followed her heart. It would have been so easy to try and replicate past recordings but she put herself out there, all while knowing that some wouldn't like and or get it.
Tell them
Clearly it wasn't her intention to put a "different" type of record out just to see who sticked around.
She was following her beliefs and wanted to see if her fans were in the same channel.
She isn't saying BTW is bad, she's saying she knew it would turn a lot of people off. Which is exactly what she said before it was released so it's not like this is some retroactive revisionism going on.

I don't get why this is so hard to see/understand for some people.

Pretty much.
When she talks about her fans, one hears shades of messianic zeal. “I want for people in the universe, my fans and otherwise, to essentially use me as an escape,” she says. “I am the jester to the kingdom. I am the route out. I am the excuse to explore your identity. To be exactly who you are and to feel unafraid. To not judge yourself, to not hate yourself. Because, as funny as it is that I am on the cover of Vogue—and no one is laughing harder than I am—I was the girl in school who was most likely to walk down the hallway and get called a **** or a bitch or ugly or big nose or nerd or ****. ‘Why are you in the chorus?’ ” (She’s more Glee than Gary Glitter in some ways.)
“Because as an artist and as a performer, the person that they look up to to create this space of freedom and escapism, I want to give my fans nothing less than the greatest album of the decade. I don’t want to give them something trendy. I want to give them the future.”
While many have mocked her for using the "Album of the Decade" line, it was clear from the interview that she knew exactly what she was doing. The album was the start, but now with the BTW Foundation, she is keeping her word as it pertains to the future. Also as she said in an interview, "What am I supposed to shoot for? The 'Album of the Week'?"
This sounds like an excuse, like "I ****ed up, so whoever is still here is a real fan"...
I am a real fan though, not a blind fan who swallows everything she gives me.
Cant wait for ArtPop!

She had also said it before BTW was released tho..so ur point is not valid.
