Gaga's underperformance with ARTPOP has got to be one of the most overblown underperformances in pop history, acting like it killed her career and hid its body behind a bowling alley.
Gaga does care about commercial success to an extent but if it were her #1 priority, she wouldn't be so invested in Cheek to Cheek, which has actually been fairly successful.
She's also said in many interviews in the past that she plans on making records well into old age.

Gaga has been more vocal about her underperformances in the past compared to Rihanna and Beyoncé tho. And the difference was that it seemed Rihanna and Beyoncé weren't stuck in somewhat downward spiral. Gaga began declining before Artpop and she's been somewhat vocal about people not liking her music or the lack of support.
When I said I was shocked I meant shocked about her making another album in the vein of a traditional album. I figured she'd do EP's or something in the vein of C2C which was less promoted compared to her other albums.
The only reason Gaga's decline has been overblown is because of how arrogant she seemed with her music and presence in pop in the past. Her flops aren't as big as people make them out but people will treat you according to how you carry yourself which is all Gaga's fault.
