I'm not even going to remind people that this personal album was going to be about taking control and she was going to be more introspective vs. the fear many had of FF 2.0 but:
I'm thinking the album will be released on her birthday December 2, 2013. If not, she need to release the album in late October a la Taylor swift release dates.
Announcement at the end of July of Residency.
Buzz for the smurfs movie at the end of the month.
Announcement of new single/album news in August.
Video shoot
Single in late August 2013 performed at MTV VMAs (25th although I'm not here for it this would be an excellent way to promote the residency to fairweathers). Released the single the same week as the VMAs with video.
late August-November first single
Then 2nd single at the end of late October or November/December album release week a la circus era.
Kick off of residency in December towards New Years eve.
