Plastic Doll

Being one of the biggest pop stars that debuted in the past decade, Lady Gaga has been praised for her whimsical artistic style. On this track, Gaga compares herself to a “plastic doll” that fits all the archetypes of what a perfect popstar should be like. Gaga acknowledges that she knows that she fits into the archetype and has contributed to the objectification of artists in pop culture. However, Gaga admits that it hurts when society dehumanizes artists.
