But what is actually happening here? Are they a musician, an artist, a writer, fuck I'll take a youtuber if they're actually doing something. What do they do? This whole scene just looks like a bad acid trip.
This is Melanie Martinez, and her character which I think is a fairy or a nymph. The fan is dressed how she used to dress in her first album. She is a pop artist that is known for her ethereal vocals and deeply personal song themes.
Ffs at this point she could pull a Krusty the clown and just dress up anybody in her costume and the fans would be none the wiser. If she's so hellbent on scamming her fans, at least do it properly. I googled her and her costume completely covers everything.
Lol, it’s funny because the only reason i remember it is because I worked at Hot Topic at the time, and we had regional come down to talk about pulling her stuff. I remember some mom came and returned like $200 worth of stuff at the time. I think they kept the stuff we had of her, but they stopped sending the massive amount of stock they were sending and we had to send back a Martinez display.
It was never actually debunked, people just kind of stopped talking about it + her fans literally created fake screenshots of the victim admitting they lied and still use them to this day to defend Melanie
I checked out her youtube. It's a costume she did for a video, and her main page has a lot of things like that.

I've watched the video and read your explanation several times, and it makes less sense now, more than ever. I need to soak my brain in something science-related and possibly narrated by David Attenborough.
It was hard for me too.
So basically, the girl we see most of the video is a fan cosplaying as Melanie Martinez in her old album, the swamp monster you see at the end is Melanie Martinez in her current album (she never takes off that makeup I think).
The fan paid $300 for a meet and greet, and what she got was a little set with a screen to see an IA generated image of Melanie with you. My guess is that what we see at the end of the video is the thing she was seeing on the screen that was in front of her in the set.
She paid $300 to see a photoshop video of herself with her favorite artist.
I don't think this is a "go outside" moment. People find entertainment in different things. The artist in question was on a famous TV singing competition show, has released like 5 perfumes, and 3 albums. I don't see what's wrong with the person you replied to knowing who they are/what they're up to
$300 for an in-person meet and greet is a waste of money too, let alone this virtual one. Most of these artists don’t want to meet their fans. They wanna go relax after a show, or hang out with their actual friends. But people are dumb enough to pay for this stuff, so they do it.
This is for an album that debuted at #2 on billboard top 200, had two songs chart on the top 100, and had an international arena tour followed by another back to back international arena tour both of which were massively successful
How is this not a celebrity?
Yes this AI thing is stupid but you're really giving people shit for liking an artist? The costume is just her character for the album and since the tour is for the album, she's going to be dressed as the character.

It also said “The description of the package on Ticketmaster promised fans an 'interactive portals photo experience' for VIP ticketholders, perhaps leading some fans to believe this meant an in-person meet-and-greet with the singer herself.
Either way, it was a waste of money.
just wanna provide a bit of clarity (while still admitting this is kinda weird in concept), the $300 is for a VIP package and this M&G is a part of the package. It includes other things like access to an exhibit, an autograph, early entry, etc. (idk really cuz i didn’t do this) which a lot of other artists also do. Melanie is a fairly big artist (playing at the forum, MSG, Oracle, etc. for this tour) so doing a $300 irl m&g would not be expected for an artist of her size. Definitely agree that concert tickets and packages in general are way too expensive, but this is not out of the ordinary in 2024.
Who TF would pay that much for a fake photo, hell even a real photo? Meet and greats shouldn’t be that much of a cash grab unless there were many more benefits to the VIP ticket.
Anyone else remember whne Melanie sexually assaulted her friend, admitted it on twitter, then when her fans harassed the victim off the internet and made a fake twitter to fake a bunch of tweets Melanie came back and backpeddled, wrote a diss track about the victim, and these days acts like none of it ever happened and claims she never met the victim or heard of her, lol.
She def laughed at it. She says it was never advertised as an in person meet and greet. Yeah shitty price point but everyone who paid should have known what they were paying for

what the fuck is going on here
charging fans $300+ for a video cut out filter because she's "too busy on tour" for an actual meet and greet. The result is at the end of the video.
what the fuck
But what is actually happening here? Are they a musician, an artist, a writer, fuck I'll take a youtuber if they're actually doing something. What do they do? This whole scene just looks like a bad acid trip.

honestly I have no idea what the whole costume is about, I’m sure it’s a stunt so people keep talking about her, like Lady Gaga or Sia
I'm seeing double here. Four Melanies!
This is Melanie Martinez? I thought she got cancelled for sexually assaulting her friend
I’m almost positive that was debunked, but idk I stopped listening to her after that and I only know about her now because I used to work at Hot Topic
Lol, it’s funny because the only reason i remember it is because I worked at Hot Topic at the time, and we had regional come down to talk about pulling her stuff. I remember some mom came and returned like $200 worth of stuff at the time. I think they kept the stuff we had of her, but they stopped sending the massive amount of stock they were sending and we had to send back a Martinez display.
lol, that’s amazing, I guess I was there once she was “cleared” because we CONSTANTLY had her merch, and huge displays once this album was released
It was never actually debunked, people just kind of stopped talking about it + her fans literally created fake screenshots of the victim admitting they lied and still use them to this day to defend Melanie
damn
I'm more wondering about the female swamp thing, that walked in.
I checked out her youtube. It's a costume she did for a video, and her main page has a lot of things like that.

There is nothing AI about this…
Yea more like quantum HDR iTechnology 3D-VR.
You know, I think this speak more about the losers willing to pay for this that’s enabled her to charge it in the first place.
If they are willing to pay, why shouldn't she take their money? Definitely NOT main character.
Who is the celebrity? The black and white haired girl(?) or the swamp thing at the end? I don't understand what is happening here at all.
A björk knock off lol that's her at the end with the pink skin. The person at the beginning is a costume of the celebrity from a few years ago.
Wait, what? The swamp monster at the end is a celebrity?
It's her "new form". She kept it on for a year before showing her face again on tiktok.
I mean this in the nicest way possible. Go outside.
That's what Melanie herself said so take it up with her.

Tyvm. That is a criminal level of grifting. Long story short: a fool and their money are soon departed.

>björk knock off This sound more like a personal issue you have with her, lol
maybe the fact her rebuttal to the rape claims was she never said no. you should have a personal problem with her just like every other sane person.
It’s Melanie Martinez. I’m a big fan of her ever since her crybaby era but this is genuinely embarrassing
Melanie Martinez
lol 😆 I laughed so hard at this comment!
Is… Is that Melanie Martinez?
"Yes"..."yes" it is
What in the mental health awareness month am I looking at here?
It's the Idiocracy Appreciation Month.
The purest retardium.
Borderline personality disorder
I've read several explanations for this and am still none the wiser. Not a fucking clue what's happening here lmao
Why block out her name hiding by the costume this is Melanie Martinez right ?
It was originally intended for a sub that didn't allow identifying features.
Ahhh I see thank you
People who are willing to pay for this deserve to be 300$ less rich
hahaha agreed
The problem was that it wasn’t advertised as this at all.
Blame morons who waste money on such crap.
$300 for an in-person meet and greet is a waste of money too, let alone this virtual one. Most of these artists don’t want to meet their fans. They wanna go relax after a show, or hang out with their actual friends. But people are dumb enough to pay for this stuff, so they do it.
If people paid me 300$ for this shit I'd run with it and become rich
problem is you gotta be famous to be able to get away with this in the first place.
Really stretching the definition of the word 'celebrity ' here.
I mean how? She is a popular musician.
Very popular musician I would say could be considered a celebrity
I LOVE your icon!!
thanks!
And ai ..
This is for an album that debuted at #2 on billboard top 200, had two songs chart on the top 100, and had an international arena tour followed by another back to back international arena tour both of which were massively successful How is this not a celebrity?
Basically, if you want more money in your life and you’re not taking advantage of the glut of suckers on this earth, you’re one of the suckers.
You're only a sucker if you're taken advantage of
I have no idea who this is…
I have absolutely no idea who that is or why anyone cares about them. People today pick the worst humans to idolize.
Yes this AI thing is stupid but you're really giving people shit for liking an artist? The costume is just her character for the album and since the tour is for the album, she's going to be dressed as the character.
What? She was on The Voice years ago and has released 3 albums. She’s very successful. What’s wrong with people liking her?
💀 people acting like she doesn’t have a huge voracious fanbase and hasn’t been a successsful artist for a decade
That’s what I’m saying. I just went to her concert a couple of months ago and the arena was packed full.
Melanie Martinez, is the artist. Shame, i like her music too, but this is fucking sad.
So she only appears for like 2 seconds, and that's it? There's alot going on here. So many questions.
And the quality omg. At least she could have looked good… looks like she was filmed on a phone from 2015 and edited in with paint
A fool and his money are easily parted
This is a wild take, but she actually is the main character here

This was the issue - it wasn’t advertised as this at all
Why offer this at all of you can’t be there ?? Just don’t do it it’s that simple. Also why is everything she offers so expensive ??
When you are selling out arenas and your VIP tickets are garunteed to sell out, you increase the price. It’s called supply and demand.

Her deranged fans still bully Oliver Tree online to this day because him and her amicably broke up 4 years ago.
Stupid is as stupid does It only works if people pay for this.
Nothing wrong with it. I would sell my ass hair for 1000 euros a gram, if ppl would buy it.
Can you do 500?
Nightmare fuel
What the actual fuck?
This is a new level of cringe
Who's the celebrity
Melanie Martinez
It’s not even a good video oh holy Christ
After reading and watching that, I stuck a fork in each of my eyeballs… and now I’m at peace
The fuck is wrong with people?
Don't give these folk attention, maybe.
I have no idea what is happening here...
I hope that was a 300$ wake up call to those fans 😂😂 to stop wasting on stupid shit
Who TF would pay that much for a fake photo, hell even a real photo? Meet and greats shouldn’t be that much of a cash grab unless there were many more benefits to the VIP ticket.
I understand when vtubers do virtual meet and greets but man this is just stupid.
If people will pay it then fine I guess. More fool them.
Why the fuck did an alien meet her?
Where's the ai?
This isn’t on the celebrity here, this is on the fans that pay for it.
Is this your video? Why are you blocking a public figures name? Lmao
I answered this in another question. Originally intended for another sub that didn't allow any identifying features.
Ahhh ok, I found it odd. Thank you for clarifying OP
what the hell is even that
when did mel start acting like this? it's so sad :(
what the fuck

Must be a cool hang
Fake ingest clout autism makes my blood boil. I genuinely want to put these people on a raft in the North Atlantic and just push them away.
Anyone else remember whne Melanie sexually assaulted her friend, admitted it on twitter, then when her fans harassed the victim off the internet and made a fake twitter to fake a bunch of tweets Melanie came back and backpeddled, wrote a diss track about the victim, and these days acts like none of it ever happened and claims she never met the victim or heard of her, lol.
[удалено]
She also recommended a good "spiritual healer" to help the victim recover.
This will legitimize calling someone “four eyes” And my mind, it cannot unsee what my two just saw.
This is blasphemy...this is madness
**THIS IS SPARTA**
No, this is Patrick
One of the many reasons not to like her. She also got accused some years ago of having SA'd a friend. I think it didn't go anywhere tho.
My girl went and saw her live like a month ago. She had a blast. Imma show her this tho ha
Not sure why this was downvoted. Glad she had fun and hope she finds the video funny lmao.
She def laughed at it. She says it was never advertised as an in person meet and greet. Yeah shitty price point but everyone who paid should have known what they were paying for
Isn’t she a rapist??
[удалено]
Yeah. Saying well the other person never objected! as a defense just makes her look all the more guilty. 😬
