I’m surprised she hasn’t gone toward this circus imagery sooner — it dovetails with some of her recent stage act, which I saw when she opened for Timberlake early last year: lots of trapeze-like hanging-rope tricks and such. She even did a bit of it in her VMA perf last week.
@Chris Molanphy: Yeah, but I wish she didn’t bother, considering how played out circus themes/imagery are in pop these days (look no further than the albums Britney and T-Pain are releasing in 2-3 months).
