Gaga’s five succeeding studio albums all debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her second full-length album, Born This Way (2011), explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold more than one million copies in its first week. The title track became the fastest-selling song on the iTunes Store, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Following her EDM-influenced third album, Artpop (2013), and its lead single «Applause», Gaga released the jazz album Cheek to Cheek (2014) with Tony Bennett, and the soft rock album Joanne (2016). She ventured into acting, winning awards for her leading roles in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016) and the musical film A Star Is Born (2018). Her contributions to the latter’s soundtrack, which spawned the chart-topping single «Shallow», made her the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award, and Grammy Award in one year. Gaga returned to dance-pop with her sixth studio album, Chromatica (2020), which yielded the number-one single «Rain on Me». She followed this with her second collaborative album with Bennett, Love for Sale, and a starring role in the biopic House of Gucci, both in 2021.

Having sold an estimated 170 million records, Gaga is one of the world’s best-selling music artists and the only female artist to achieve four singles that each sold at least 10 million copies globally. Her accolades include 13 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, 18 MTV Video Music Awards, awards from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and recognition as Billboard‘s Artist of the Year (2010) and Woman of the Year (2015). She has also been included in several Forbes power rankings and ranked fourth on VH1’s Greatest Women in Music (2012). Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010 and 2019 and placed her on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list. Her philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBT rights; she has her own non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation, which supports the wellness of young people. Gaga’s business ventures include Haus Labs, a vegan cosmetics brand launched in 2019.

Life and career

1986–2004: Early life

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986, at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, New York City,[1] to an upper middle class Catholic family. Both of her parents have Italian ancestry.[2] Her parents are Cynthia Louise (née Bissett), a philanthropist and business executive, and Internet entrepreneur Joseph Germanotta,[3] and she has a younger sister named Natali.[4] Brought up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Gaga said in an interview that her parents came from lower-class families and worked hard for everything.[5][6] From age 11, she attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private all-girls Roman Catholic school.[7] Gaga has described her high-school self as «very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined» but also «a bit insecure». She considered herself a misfit and was mocked for «being either too provocative or too eccentric».[8]

Gaga began playing the piano at age four when her mother insisted she become «a cultured young woman». She took piano lessons and practiced through her childhood. The lessons taught her to create music by ear, which she preferred over reading sheet music. Her parents encouraged her to pursue music and enrolled her in Creative Arts Camp.[9] As a teenager, she played at open mic nights.[10] Gaga played the lead roles of Adelaide in the play Guys and Dolls and Philia in the play A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at Regis High School.[11] She also studied method acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute for ten years.[12] Gaga unsuccessfully auditioned for New York shows, though she did appear in a small role as a high-school student in a 2001 episode of The Sopranos titled «The Telltale Moozadell».[13][14] She later said of her inclination towards music:

I don’t know exactly where my affinity for music comes from, but it is the thing that comes easiest to me. When I was like three years old, I may have been even younger, my mom always tells this really embarrassing story of me propping myself up and playing the keys like this because I was too young and short to get all the way up there. Just go like this on the low end of the piano … I was really, really good at piano, so my first instincts were to work so hard at practicing piano, and I might not have been a natural dancer, but I am a natural musician. That is the thing that I believe I am the greatest at.[15]

In 2003, at age 17, Gaga gained early admission to Collaborative Arts Project 21, a music school at New York University (NYU)’s Tisch School of the Arts, and lived in an NYU dorm. She studied music there, and improved her songwriting skills by writing essays on art, religion, social issues and politics, including a thesis on pop artists Spencer Tunick and Damien Hirst.[16][17] In 2005, she withdrew from school during the second semester of her second year to focus on her music career.[18] That year, she also played an unsuspecting diner customer for MTV’s Boiling Points, a prank reality television show.[19]

In a 2014 interview, Gaga said she had been raped at age 19, for which she later underwent mental and physical therapy.[20] She has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which she attributes to the incident, and credits support from doctors, family and friends with helping her.[21] Gaga later gave additional details about the rape, including that «the person who raped me dropped me off pregnant on a corner at my parents’ house because I was vomiting and sick. Because I’d been being abused. I was locked away in a studio for months.»[22]

2005–2007: Career beginnings

In 2005, Gaga recorded two songs with hip-hop artist Melle Mel for an audio book accompanying Cricket Casey’s children’s novel The Portal in the Park.[23] She also formed a band called the SGBand with some friends from NYU.[11][24] They played gigs around New York and became a fixture of the downtown Lower East Side club scene.[11] After the 2006 Songwriters Hall of Fame New Songwriters Showcase at the Cutting Room in June, talent scout Wendy Starland recommended her to music producer Rob Fusari.[25] Fusari collaborated with Gaga, who traveled daily to New Jersey, helping to develop her songs and compose new material.[26] The producer said they began dating in May 2006, and claimed to have been the first person to call her «Lady Gaga», which was derived from Queen’s song «Radio Ga Ga».[27] Their relationship lasted until January 2007.[28]

Fusari and Gaga established a company called «Team Lovechild, LLC» to promote her career.[27] They recorded and produced electropop tracks, sending them to music industry executives. Joshua Sarubin, the head of Artists and repertoire (A&R) at Def Jam Recordings, responded positively and, after approval from Sarubin’s boss Antonio «L.A.» Reid, Gaga was signed to Def Jam in September 2006.[29][30] She was dropped from the label three months later[31] and returned to her family home for Christmas. Gaga began performing at neo-burlesque shows, which according to her represented freedom.[32] During this time, she met performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped mold her onstage persona.[33] The pair began performing at downtown club venues like the Mercury Lounge, the Bitter End, and the Rockwood Music Hall. Their live performance art piece, known as «Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue» and billed as «The Ultimate Pop Burlesque Rockshow», was a tribute to 1970s variety acts.[34][35] They performed at the 2007 Lollapalooza music festival.[34]

Having initially focused on avant-garde electronic dance music, Gaga began to incorporate pop melodies and the glam rock style of David Bowie and Queen into her songs. While Gaga and Starlight were performing, Fusari continued to develop the songs he had created with her, sending them to the producer and record executive Vincent Herbert.[36] In November 2007, Herbert signed Gaga to his label Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records, established that month.[37] Gaga later credited Herbert as the man who discovered her.[38] Having served as an apprentice songwriter during an internship at Famous Music Publishing, Gaga struck a music publishing deal with Sony/ATV. As a result, she was hired to write songs for Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block, Fergie, and the Pussycat Dolls.[39] At Interscope, musician Akon was impressed with her singing abilities when she sang a reference vocal for one of his tracks in studio.[40] Akon convinced Jimmy Iovine, chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records (a brother company for Def Jam), to form a joint deal by having Gaga also sign with his own label KonLive, making her his «franchise player».[31][41]

In late 2007, Gaga met with songwriter and producer RedOne.[42] She collaborated with him in the recording studio for a week on her debut album, signing with Cherrytree Records, an Interscope imprint established by producer and songwriter Martin Kierszenbaum; she also wrote four songs with Kierszenbaum.[39] Despite securing a record deal, she said that some radio stations found her music too «racy», «dance-oriented», and «underground» for the mainstream market, to which she replied: «My name is Lady Gaga, I’ve been on the music scene for years, and I’m telling you, this is what’s next.»[7]

2008–2010: Breakthrough with The Fame and The Fame Monster

By 2008, Gaga had relocated to Los Angeles to work extensively with her record label to complete her debut album, The Fame, and to set up her own creative team called the Haus of Gaga, modeled on Andy Warhol’s The Factory.[43][44] The Fame was released on August 19, 2008,[45] and reached number one in Austria, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland and the UK, as well as the top five in Australia and the US.[46][47] Its first two singles, «Just Dance» and «Poker Face»,[48] reached number one in the United States,[49] Australia,[50] Canada[51] and the UK.[52] The latter was also the world’s best-selling single of 2009, with 9.8 million copies sold that year, and spent a record 83 weeks on Billboard magazine’s Digital Songs chart.[53][54] Three other singles, «Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)», «LoveGame» and «Paparazzi», were released from the album;[55] the lattermost reached number one in Germany.[56] Remixed versions of the singles from The Fame, except «Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)», were included on Hitmixes in August 2009.[57] At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, The Fame and «Poker Face» won Best Dance/Electronica Album and Best Dance Recording, respectively.[58]

Following her opening act on the Pussycat Dolls’ 2009 Doll Domination Tour in Europe and Oceania, Gaga headlined her worldwide The Fame Ball Tour, which ran from March to September 2009.[60] While traveling the globe, she wrote eight songs for The Fame Monster, a reissue of The Fame.[61] Those new songs were also released as a standalone EP on November 18, 2009.[62] Its first single, «Bad Romance», was released one month earlier[63] and went number one in Canada[51] and the UK,[52] and number two in the US,[49] Australia[64] and New Zealand.[65] «Telephone», with Beyoncé, followed as the second single from the EP and became Gaga’s fourth UK number one.[66][67] Its third single was «Alejandro»,[68] which reached number one in Finland[69] and attracted controversy when its music video was deemed blasphemous by the Catholic League.[70] Both tracks reached the top five in the US.[49] The video for «Bad Romance» became the most watched on YouTube in April 2010, and that October, Gaga became the first person with more than one billion combined views.[71][72] At the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, she won eight awards from 13 nominations, including Video of the Year for «Bad Romance».[73] She was the most nominated artist for a single year, and the first woman to receive two nominations for Video of the Year at the same ceremony.[74] The Fame Monster won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and «Bad Romance» won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Short Form Music Video at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.[75]

In 2009, Gaga spent a record 150 weeks on the UK Singles Chart and became the most downloaded female act in a year in the US, with 11.1 million downloads sold, earning an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.[76][77] Worldwide, The Fame and The Fame Monster together have sold more than 15 million copies, and the latter was 2010’s second best-selling album.[78][79][80] Its success allowed Gaga to start her second worldwide concert tour, The Monster Ball Tour, and release The Remix, her final record with Cherrytree Records[81] and among the best-selling remix albums of all time.[82][83] The Monster Ball Tour ran from November 2009 to May 2011 and grossed $227.4 million, making it the highest-grossing concert tour for a debut headlining artist.[59][84] Concerts performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City were filmed for an HBO television special, Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden.[85] Gaga also performed songs from her albums at the 2009 Royal Variety Performance, the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, and the 2010 Brit Awards.[86] Before Michael Jackson’s death, Gaga was set to take part in his canceled This Is It concert series at the O2 Arena in the UK.[87]

During this era, Gaga ventured into business, collaborating with consumer electronics company Monster Cable Products to create in-ear, jewel-encrusted headphones called Heartbeats by Lady Gaga.[88] She also partnered with Polaroid in January 2010 as their creative director and announced a suite of photo-capture products called Grey Label.[89][90] Her collaboration with her past record producer and ex-boyfriend Rob Fusari led to a lawsuit against her production team, Mermaid Music LLC.[a] At this time, Gaga was tested borderline positive for lupus, but claimed not to be affected by the symptoms and hoped to maintain a healthy lifestyle.[93][94]

2011–2014: Born This Way, Artpop, and Cheek to Cheek

In February 2011, Gaga released «Born This Way», the lead single from her studio album of the same name. The song sold more than one million copies within five days, earning the Guinness World Record for the fastest selling single on iTunes.[95] It debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the 1,000th number-one single in the history of the charts.[96] Its second single «Judas» followed two months later,[97] and «The Edge of Glory» served as its third single.[98] Both reached the top 10 in the US and the UK.[49][52] Her music video for «The Edge of Glory», unlike her previous work, portrays her dancing on a fire escape and walking on a lonely street, without intricate choreography and back-up dancers.[99]

Born This Way was released on May 23, 2011,[97] and debuted atop the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 1.1 million copies.[100] The album sold eight million copies worldwide and received three Grammy nominations, including Gaga’s third consecutive nomination for Album of the Year.[101][102] Rolling Stone listed it among «The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time» in 2020.[103] Born This Ways following singles were «You and I» and «Marry the Night»,[104] which reached numbers six and 29 in the US, respectively.[49] While filming the former’s music video, Gaga met and started dating actor Taylor Kinney in July 2011, who played her love interest.[105][106] She also embarked on the Born This Way Ball tour in April 2012, which was scheduled to conclude the following March, but ended one month earlier when Gaga canceled the remaining dates due to a labral tear of her right hip that required surgery.[107] While refunds for the cancellations were estimated to be worth $25 million,[108] the tour grossed $183.9 million globally.[109]

In 2011, Gaga also worked with Tony Bennett on a jazz version of «The Lady Is a Tramp»,[110] with Elton John on «Hello Hello» for the animated feature film Gnomeo & Juliet,[111] and with The Lonely Island and Justin Timberlake on «3-Way (The Golden Rule)».[112] She also performed a concert at the Sydney Town Hall in Australia that year to promote Born This Way and to celebrate former US President Bill Clinton’s 65th birthday.[113] In November, she was featured in a Thanksgiving television special titled A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, which attracted 5.7 million American viewers and spawned the release of her fourth EP, A Very Gaga Holiday.[114] In 2012, Gaga guest-starred as an animated version of herself in an episode of The Simpsons called «Lisa Goes Gaga»,[115] and released her first fragrance, Lady Gaga Fame, followed by a second one, Eau de Gaga, in 2014.[b]

Gaga began work on her third studio album, Artpop, in early 2012, during the Born This Way Ball tour; she crafted the album to mirror «a night at the club».[118][119][120] In August 2013, Gaga released the album’s lead single «Applause»,[121] which reached number one in Hungary, number four in the US, and number five in the UK.[52][49][122] A lyric video for Artpop track «Aura» followed in October to accompany Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills, where she plays an assassin named La Chameleon.[123] The film received generally mixed reviews and earned less than half of its $33 million budget.[124][125] The second Artpop single, «Do What U Want», featured singer R. Kelly and was released later that month,[126] topping the charts in Hungary and reaching number 13 in the US.[49][127] Artpop was released on November 6, 2013, to mixed reviews.[128] Helen Brown in The Daily Telegraph criticized Gaga for making another album about her fame and doubted the record’s originality, but found it «great for dancing».[129] The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, and sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide as of July 2014.[130][131] «G.U.Y.» was released as the third single in March 2014 and peaked at number 76 in the US.[49][132]

Gaga hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in November 2013.[134] After holding her second Thanksgiving Day television special on ABC, Lady Gaga and the Muppets Holiday Spectacular, she performed a special rendition of «Do What U Want» with Christina Aguilera on the fifth season of the American reality talent show The Voice.[135][136] In March 2014, Gaga had a seven-day concert residency commemorating the last performance at New York’s Roseland Ballroom before its closure.[137] Two months later, she embarked on the ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour, building on concepts from her ArtRave promotional event. Earning $83 million, the tour included cities canceled from the Born This Way Ball tour itinerary.[138] In the meantime, Gaga split from longtime manager Troy Carter over «creative differences»,[139] and by June 2014, she and new manager Bobby Campbell joined Artist Nation, the artist management division of Live Nation Entertainment.[140] She briefly appeared in Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and was confirmed as Versace’s spring-summer 2014 ambassador with a campaign called «Lady Gaga For Versace».[141][142]

In September 2014, Gaga released a collaborative jazz album with Tony Bennett titled Cheek to Cheek. The inspiration behind the album came from her friendship with Bennett, and fascination with jazz music since her childhood.[143] Before the album was released, it produced the singles «Anything Goes» and «I Can’t Give You Anything but Love».[144] Cheek to Cheek received generally favorable reviews;[145] The Guardians Caroline Sullivan praised Gaga’s vocals and Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune wrote that «Cheek to Cheek serves up the real thing, start to finish».[146][147] The record was Gaga’s third consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200,[148] and won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.[149] The duo recorded the concert special Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live!,[150] and embarked on the Cheek to Cheek Tour from December 2014 to August 2015.[151]

2015–2017: American Horror Story, Joanne, and Super Bowl performances

In February 2015, Gaga became engaged to Taylor Kinney.[152] After the lukewarm response to Artpop, Gaga began to reinvent her image and style. According to Billboard, this shift started with the release of Cheek to Cheek and the attention she received for her performance at the 87th Academy Awards, where she sang a medley of songs from The Sound of Music in a tribute to Julie Andrews.[133] Considered one of her best performances by Billboard, it triggered more than 214,000 interactions per minute globally on Facebook.[153][154] She and Diane Warren co-wrote the song «Til It Happens to You» for the documentary The Hunting Ground, which earned them the Satellite Award for Best Original Song and an Academy Award nomination in the same category.[155] Gaga won Billboard Woman of the Year and Contemporary Icon Award at the 2015 Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards.[156][157]

Gaga had spent much of her early life wanting to be an actress, and achieved her goal when she starred in American Horror Story: Hotel.[158] Running from October 2015 to January 2016, Hotel is the fifth season of the television anthology horror series, American Horror Story, in which Gaga played a hotel owner named Elizabeth.[159][160] At the 73rd Golden Globe Awards, Gaga received the Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film award for her work on the season.[158] She appeared in Nick Knight’s 2015 fashion film for Tom Ford’s 2016 spring campaign[161] and was guest editor for V fashion magazine’s 99th issue in January 2016, which featured 16 different covers.[162] She received Editor of the Year award at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards.[163]

In February 2016, Gaga sang the US national anthem at Super Bowl 50,[164] partnered with Intel and Nile Rodgers for a tribute performance to the late David Bowie at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards,[165] and sang «Til It Happens to You» at the 88th Academy Awards, where she was introduced by Joe Biden and was accompanied on-stage by 50 people who had suffered from sexual assault.[166] She was honored that April with the Artist Award at the Jane Ortner Education Awards by The Grammy Museum, which recognizes artists who have demonstrated passion and dedication to education through the arts.[167] Her engagement to Taylor Kinney ended in July; she later said her career had interfered with their relationship.[168]

Gaga played a witch named Scathach in American Horror Story: Roanoke, the series’ sixth season,[169] which ran from September to November 2016.[170][171] Her role in the fifth season of the show ultimately influenced her future music, prompting her to feature «the art of darkness».[172] In September 2016, she released her fifth album’s lead single, «Perfect Illusion», which topped the charts in France and reached number 15 in the US.[173][174][175] The album, titled Joanne, was named after Gaga’s late aunt, who was an inspiration for the music.[176] It was released on October 21, 2016, and became Gaga’s fourth number one album on the Billboard 200, making her the first woman to reach the US chart’s summit four times in the 2010s.[177] The album’s second single, «Million Reasons», followed the next month and reached number four in the US.[175][178] She later released a piano version of the album’s title track in 2018,[179] which won a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance.[180] To promote the album, Gaga embarked on the three-date Dive Bar Tour.[181]

Gaga performed as the headlining act during the Super Bowl LI halftime show on February 5, 2017. Her performance featured a group of hundreds of lighted drones forming various shapes in the sky above Houston’s NRG Stadium—the first time robotic aircraft appeared in a Super Bowl program.[182] It attracted 117.5 million viewers in the United States, exceeding the game’s 111.3 million viewers and making it the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime show to date.[183] The performance led to a surge of 410,000 song downloads in the United States for Gaga and earned her an Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Special Class Program category.[184][185] CBS Sports included her performance as the second best in the history of Super Bowl halftime shows.[186] In April, Gaga headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[187] She also released a standalone-single, «The Cure», which reached the top 10 in Australia.[188][189] In August, Gaga began the Joanne World Tour, which she announced after the Super Bowl LI halftime show.[190] Gaga’s creation of Joanne and preparation for her halftime show performance were featured in the documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, which premiered on Netflix that September.[191] Throughout the film, she was seen suffering from chronic pain, which was later revealed to be the effect of a long-term condition called fibromyalgia.[192] In February 2018, it prompted Gaga to cancel the last ten shows of the Joanne World Tour, which ultimately grossed $95 million from 842,000 tickets sold.[193][194]

2018–2019: A Star Is Born and Las Vegas residency

In March 2018, Gaga supported the March for Our Lives gun-control rally in Washington, D.C.,[196] and released a cover of Elton John’s «Your Song» for his tribute album Revamp.[197] Later that year, she starred as struggling singer Ally in Bradley Cooper’s musical romantic drama A Star Is Born, a remake of the 1937 film of the same name. The film follows Ally’s relationship with singer Jackson Maine (played by Cooper), which becomes strained after her career begins to overshadow his. It received acclaim from critics, with a consensus that the movie had «appealing leads, deft direction, and an affecting love story».[198] Cooper approached Gaga after seeing her perform at a cancer research fundraiser. An admirer of Cooper’s work, Gaga agreed to the project due to its portrayal of addiction and depression.[199][200] A Star Is Born premiered at the 2018 Venice Film Festival, and was released worldwide that October.[201] Gaga’s performance was acclaimed by film critics, with Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian labeling the film «outrageously watchable» and stating that «Gaga’s ability to be part ordinary person, part extraterrestrial celebrity empress functions at the highest level»;[202] Stephanie Zacharek of Time magazine similarly highlighted her «knockout performance» and found her to be «charismatic» without her usual makeup, wigs and costumes.[203] For the role, Gaga won the National Board of Review and Critics’ Choice awards for Best Actress, in addition to receiving nominations for the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actress.[204]

Gaga and Cooper co-wrote and produced most of the songs on the soundtrack for A Star Is Born, which she insisted they perform live in the film.[205] Its lead single, «Shallow», performed by the two, was released on September 27, 2018[206] and topped the charts in various countries including Australia, the UK and the US.[207] The soundtrack contains 34 tracks, including 17 original songs, and received generally positive reviews;[208] Mark Kennedy of The Washington Post called it a «five-star marvel» and Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian termed it an «instant classics full of Gaga’s emotional might».[209][210] Commercially, the soundtrack debuted at number one in the US, making Gaga the first woman with five US number-one albums in the 2010s, and breaking her tie with Taylor Swift as the most for any female artist this decade;[211] Swift tied with her again in 2019.[212] It additionally topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland and the UK.[213] As of June 2019, the soundtrack had sold over six million copies worldwide.[214] The album won Gaga four Grammy Awards—Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media for «Shallow», as well as the latter category for «I’ll Never Love Again»—and a BAFTA Award for Best Film Music.[180][215][216] «Shallow» also won her the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and Critics’ Choice Award for Best Original Song.[204]

In October, Gaga announced her engagement to talent agent Christian Carino whom she had met in early 2017.[217] They ended the engagement in February 2019.[218] Gaga signed a concert residency, named Lady Gaga Enigma + Jazz & Piano, to perform at the MGM Park Theater in Las Vegas.[219] The residency consists of two types of shows: Enigma, which focused on theatricality and included Gaga’s biggest hits,[220] and Jazz & Piano, which involved tracks from the Great American Songbook and stripped-down versions of Gaga’s songs. The Enigma show opened in December 2018 and the Jazz & Piano in January 2019.[221] Gaga launched her vegan makeup line, Haus Laboratories, in September 2019 exclusively on Amazon. Consisting of 40 products, including liquid eyeliners, lip glosses and face mask sticker, it reached number-one on Amazon’s list of best-selling lipsticks.[222]

In February 2020, Gaga began a relationship with entrepreneur Michael Polansky.[223] Her sixth studio album, Chromatica, was released on May 29, 2020, to positive reviews.[224][225] It debuted atop the US charts, becoming her sixth consecutive number-one album in the country, and reached the top spot in more than a dozen other territories including Australia, Canada, France, Italy and the UK.[226] Chromatica was preceded by two singles, «Stupid Love», on February 28, 2020,[227] and «Rain on Me», with Ariana Grande, on May 22.[228] The latter won the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, and debuted at number one in the US, making Gaga the third person to top the country’s chart in the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.[229][230] At the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, Gaga won five awards, including the inaugural Tricon Award recognizing artists accomplished in different areas of the entertainment industry.[231] In September 2020, she appeared in the video campaign for Valentino’s Voce Viva fragrance, singing a stripped-down version of Chromatica track «Sine from Above», along with a group of models.[232]

During the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States on January 20, 2021, Gaga sang the US national anthem.[234] In February 2021, her dog walker Ryan Fischer was hospitalized after getting shot in Hollywood. Two of her French Bulldogs, Koji and Gustav, were taken while a third dog named Miss Asia escaped and was subsequently recovered by police. Gaga later offered a $500,000 reward for the return of her pets.[235][236] Two days later, on February 26, a woman brought the dogs to a police station in Los Angeles. Both were unharmed. Los Angeles Police initially said the woman who dropped off the dogs did not appear to be involved with the shooting,[237] but on April 29, she was one of five people charged in connection with the shooting and theft.[238] In December 2022, James Howard Jackson, the man who shot Fischer, was sentenced to 21 years in prison.[239]

In April 2021, Gaga teamed up with Champagne brand Dom Pérignon, and appeared in an ad shot by Nick Knight.[240] On September 3, she released her third remix album, Dawn of Chromatica.[241] This was followed by her second collaborative album with Tony Bennett, titled Love for Sale, on September 30.[242] The record received generally favorable reviews, and debuted at number eight in the US.[243][244] The album’s promotional rollout included the television special One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, released in November 2021, on CBS, which featured select performances from the duo’s August 3 and 5 performances at Radio City Music Hall.[245][246] Another taped performance by the duo recorded for MTV Unplugged was released that December.[247] At the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, Love for Sale won Gaga and Bennett the award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.[248]

After an appearance in the television special Friends: The Reunion, in which Gaga sang «Smelly Cat» with Lisa Kudrow,[249] she portrayed Patrizia Reggiani, who was convicted of hiring a hitman to murder her ex-husband and former head of the Gucci fashion house Maurizio Gucci (played by Adam Driver), in Ridley Scott’s biographical crime film titled House of Gucci.[250][251] For the part, Gaga learned to speak with an Italian accent. She also stayed in character for 18 months, speaking with an accent for nine months during that period.[252] Her method acting approach took a toll on her mental wellbeing, and towards the end of filming she had to be accompanied on-set by a psychiatric nurse.[253] The film was released on November 24, 2021, to mixed reviews, though critics praised Gaga’s performance as «note-perfect».[254] She earned the New York Film Critics Circle Award, and nominations for the BAFTA Award, Critics’ Choice Award, Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress.[255] Gaga wrote the song «Hold My Hand» for the 2022 film Top Gun: Maverick,[256] and also composed the score alongside Hans Zimmer and Harold Faltermeyer.[257] In July 2022, she embarked on The Chromatica Ball stadium tour,[258] which had twenty dates and grossed $112.4 million from 834,000 tickets sold.[233] By the end of the year, she became the highest grossing female artist of 2022.[259] Gaga is set to star with Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie à Deux, which will be released in 2024.[260]

Artistry

Influences

Gaga grew up listening to artists such as Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Christina Aguilera and Blondie,[261][262][263] who have all influenced her music.[264][265] Gaga’s musical inspiration varies from dance-pop singers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson to glam rock artists such as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, as well as the theatrics of the pop artist Andy Warhol and her own performance roots in musical theater.[31][266] She has been compared to Madonna, who has said that she sees herself reflected in Gaga.[267] Gaga says that she wants to revolutionize pop music as Madonna has.[268] Gaga has also cited heavy metal bands as an influence, specifically Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Marilyn Manson.[269][270][271][272] She credits Beyoncé as a key inspiration to pursue a musical career.[273]

Gaga was inspired by her mother to be interested in fashion, which she now says is a major influence and integrated with her music.[18][274] Stylistically, Gaga has been compared to Leigh Bowery, Isabella Blow, and Cher;[275][276] she once commented that as a child, she absorbed Cher’s fashion sense and made it her own.[276] Gaga became friends with British fashion designer Alexander McQueen shortly before his suicide in 2010, and became known for wearing his designs, particularly his towering armadillo shoes.[93][277] She considers fashion designer Donatella Versace her muse; Versace has called Lady Gaga «the fresh Donatella».[278][279] Gaga has also been influenced by Princess Diana, whom she has admired since her childhood.[280]

Gaga has called the Indian alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra a «true inspiration»,[281] and has also quoted Indian leader Osho’s book Creativity on Twitter. Gaga says she was influenced by Osho’s work in valuing rebellion through creativity and equality.[282]

Musical style and themes

Critics have analyzed and scrutinized Gaga’s musical and performance style, as she has experimented with new ideas and images throughout her career. She says the continual reinvention is «liberating» herself, which she has been drawn to since childhood.[283] Gaga combines a variety of music genres, particularly incorporating elements of rock into her pop and dance music. She has also branched out into jazz and other non-pop musical genres.[284] Gaga is a contralto, with a range spanning from B2 to B5.[285][286][287] She has changed her vocal style regularly, and considers Born This Way «much more vocally up to par with what I’ve always been capable of».[288][289] In summing up her voice, Entertainment Weekly wrote: «There’s an immense emotional intelligence behind the way she uses her voice. Almost never does she overwhelm a song with her vocal ability, recognizing instead that artistry is to be found in nuance rather than lung power.»[290]

According to Evan Sawdey of PopMatters, Gaga «manage[s] to get you moving and grooving at an almost effortless pace».[291] Gaga believes that «all good music can be played on a piano and still sound like a hit».[292] Simon Reynolds wrote in 2010, «Everything about Gaga came from electroclash, except the music, which wasn’t particularly 1980s, just ruthlessly catchy naughties pop glazed with Auto-Tune and undergirded with R&B-ish beats.»[293]

Gaga’s songs have covered a wide variety of concepts; The Fame discusses the lust for stardom, while the follow-up The Fame Monster expresses fame’s dark side through monster metaphors. The Fame is an electropop and dance-pop album that has influences of 1980s pop and 1990s Europop,[294] whereas The Fame Monster displays Gaga’s taste for pastiche, drawing on «Seventies arena glam, perky ABBA disco, and sugary throwbacks like Stacey Q».[295] Born This Way has lyrics in English, French, German, and Spanish and features themes common to Gaga’s controversial songwriting such as sex, love, religion, money, drugs, identity, liberation, sexuality, freedom, and individualism.[296] The album explores new genres, such as electronic rock and techno.[297]

The themes in Artpop revolve around Gaga’s personal views of fame, love, sex, feminism, self-empowerment, overcoming addiction, and reactions to media scrutiny.[298] Billboard describes Artpop as «coherently channeling R&B, techno, disco and rock music».[299] With Cheek to Cheek, Gaga dabbled in the jazz genre.[300] Joanne, exploring the genres of country, funk, pop, dance, rock, electronic music and folk, was influenced by her personal life.[301] The A Star Is Born soundtrack contains elements of blues rock, country and bubblegum pop.[209] Billboard says its lyrics are about wanting change, its struggle, love, romance, and bonding, describing the music as «timeless, emotional, gritty and earnest. They sound like songs written by artists who, quite frankly, are supremely messed up but hit to the core of the listener.»[302] On Chromatica, Gaga returned to her dance-pop roots, and discussed her struggles with mental health.[303] Her second album with Tony Bennett, Love for Sale, consists of a tribute to Cole Porter.[304]

Videos and stage

Gaga during a «blood soaked» performance in 2010

Featuring constant costume changes and provocative visuals, Gaga’s music videos are often described as short films.[305] The video for «Telephone» earned Gaga the Guinness World Record for Most Product Placement in a Video.[306] According to author Curtis Fogel, she explores bondage and sadomasochism and highlights prevalent feminist themes. The main themes of her music videos are sex, violence, and power. She calls herself «a little bit of a feminist» and asserts that she is «sexually empowering women».[307] Billboard ranked her sixth on its list of «The 100 Greatest Music Video Artists of All Time» in 2020, stating that «the name ‘Lady Gaga’ will forever be synonymous with culture-shifting music videos».[308]

Regarded as «one of the greatest living musical performers» by Rolling Stone,[309] Gaga has called herself a perfectionist when it comes to her elaborate shows.[310] Her performances have been described as «highly entertaining and innovative»;[311] the blood-spurting performance of «Paparazzi» at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards was described as «eye-popping» by MTV News.[312] She continued the blood-soaked theme during The Monster Ball Tour, causing protests in England from family groups and fans in the aftermath of the Cumbria shootings, in which a taxi driver had killed 12 people, then himself.[313] At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, Gaga appeared in drag as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone, and delivered a lovesick monologue before a performance of her song «You and I».[314] As Gaga’s choreographer and creative director, Laurieann Gibson provided material for her shows and videos for four years before she was replaced by her assistant Richard Jackson in 2014.[315]

In an October 2018 article for Billboard, Rebecca Schiller traced back Gaga’s videography from «Just Dance» to the release of A Star Is Born. Schiller noted that following the Artpop era, Gaga’s stripped-down approach to music was reflected in the clips for the singles from Joanne, taking the example of the music video of lead single «Perfect Illusion» where she eschewed «the elaborate outfits for shorts and a tee-shirt as she performed the song at a desert party». It continued with her performances in the film as well as her stage persona.[316] Reviewing The Chromatica Ball in 2022, Chris Willman of Variety wrote that Gaga «could have further played the authenticity card for all it’s worth» after the release of Joanne and A Star Is Born, but instead «has determined to keep herself weird — or just weird enough to provide necessarily ballast to her more earnest inclinations».[317]

Public image

In 2010, eight wax figures of Gaga were installed at the museum Madame Tussauds.[318]

Public reception of her music, fashion sense, and persona is polarized. Because of her influence on modern culture, and her rise to global fame, sociologist Mathieu Deflem of the University of South Carolina has offered a course titled «Lady Gaga and the Sociology of the Fame» since early 2011 with the objective of unraveling «some of the sociologically relevant dimensions of the fame of Lady Gaga».[319] When Gaga met briefly with then-president Barack Obama at a Human Rights Campaign fundraiser, he found the interaction «intimidating» as she was dressed in 16-inch heels, making her the tallest woman in the room.[320] When interviewed by Barbara Walters for her annual ABC News special 10 Most Fascinating People in 2009, Gaga dismissed the claim that she is intersex as an urban legend. Responding to a question on this issue, she expressed her fondness for androgyny.[321]

Gaga’s outlandish fashion sense has also served as an important aspect of her character.[275][278] During her early career, members of the media compared her fashion choices to those of Christina Aguilera.[278] In 2011, 121 women gathered at the Grammy Awards dressed in costumes similar to those worn by Gaga, earning the 2011 Guinness World Record for Largest Gathering of Lady Gaga Impersonators.[95] The Global Language Monitor named «Lady Gaga» as the Top Fashion Buzzword with her trademark «no pants» a close third.[322] Entertainment Weekly put her outfits on its end of the decade «best-of» list, saying that she «brought performance art into the mainstream».[323] People ranked her number one on their «Best Dressed Stars of 2021» list, writing that Gaga «strutted the streets in high-fashion designs, from a sculptural seersucker number to a black lace corseted gown—accessorizing each with elegant updos, sky-high heels and retro shades—like it was no sweat.»[324]

Time placed Gaga on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list, stating: «Lady Gaga is just as notorious for her outrageous style as she is for her pop hits … [Gaga] has sported outfits made from plastic bubbles, Kermit the Frog dolls, and raw meat.»[325] Gaga wore a dress made of raw beef to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, which was supplemented by boots, a purse, and a hat also made out of raw beef.[326] Partly awarded in recognition of the dress, Vogue named her one of the Best Dressed people of 2010 and Time named the dress the Fashion Statement of the year.[327][328] It attracted the attention of worldwide media; the animal rights organization PETA found it offensive.[329] The meat dress was displayed at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in 2012,[330] and entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in September 2015.[331]

Gaga’s fans call her «Mother Monster», and she often refers to them as «Little Monsters», a phrase she had tattooed on herself in dedication.[332] In his article «Lady Gaga Pioneered Online Fandom Culture As We Know It» for Vice, Jake Hall wrote that Gaga inspired several subsequent fan-brandings, such as those of Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Justin Bieber.[333] In July 2012, Gaga also co-founded the social networking service LittleMonsters.com, devoted to her fans.[334] Scott Hardy, CEO of Polaroid, praised Gaga for inspiring fans and for her close interactions with them on social media.[335]

Censorship

In 2011, the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China acting on behalf of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, banned Gaga for «being vulgar.»[336] The ban was lifted in 2014. However, conditions for Artpop to go on sale legally in China were placed on the album artwork, covering her almost naked body. Officials also changed the title of the song «Sexxx Dreams» to «X Dreams.»[337]

In 2016, Gaga was banned in China again after she publicly talked with the Dalai Lama.[338][339] The Chinese government added Gaga to a list of hostile foreign forces, and Chinese websites and media organizations were ordered to stop distributing her songs. The Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party also issued an order for state-controlled media to condemn this meeting.[340] In the following years, Gaga’s image was blacked out in reporting of the 91st Academy Awards in China and her appearance was cut from Friends: The Reunion; both incidents received backlash from her Chinese fans.[341][342]

Activism

Philanthropy

After declining an invitation to appear on the single «We Are the World 25 for Haiti», because of rehearsals for her tour, to benefit victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Gaga donated the proceeds of her January 2010 Radio City Music Hall concert to the country’s reconstruction relief fund.[343] All profits from her online store that day were also donated, and Gaga announced that $500,000 was collected for the fund.[344] Hours after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, Gaga tweeted a link to Japan Prayer Bracelets. All revenue from a bracelet she designed in conjunction with the company was donated to relief efforts;[345] these raised $1.5 million.[346] In June 2011, Gaga performed at MTV Japan’s charity show in Makuhari Messe, which benefited the Japanese Red Cross.[347]

Gaga also contributes in the fight against HIV and AIDS, focusing on educating young women about the risks of the disease. In collaboration with Cyndi Lauper, Gaga joined forces with MAC Cosmetics to launch a line of lipstick under their supplementary cosmetic line, Viva Glam.[350] Sales have raised more than $202 million to fight HIV and AIDS.[351]

In April 2016, Gaga joined Vice President Joe Biden at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to support Biden’s It’s On Us campaign as he traveled to colleges on behalf of the organization, which has seen 250,000 students from more than 530 colleges sign a pledge of solidarity and activism.[352] Two months later, Gaga attended the 84th Annual US Conference of Mayors in Indianapolis where she joined with the Dalai Lama to talk about the power of kindness and how to make the world a more compassionate place.[353]

In April 2020, Gaga curated the televised benefit concert, One World: Together at Home, a collaboration with Global Citizen to benefit the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.[354][355] The special raised $127 million, which according to Forbes «puts it on par with the other legendary fundraiser, Live Aid, as the highest grossing charity concert in history.»[356] In recognition of her contribution to the Black Lives Matter movement, Gaga received the Yolanda Denise King High Ground Award from the King Center’s Beloved Community Awards in January 2021. In her acceptance speech, she denounced racism and white supremacy and addressed her social responsibility as a high-profile artist and white woman.[357]

Born This Way Foundation

In 2012, Gaga launched the Born This Way Foundation (BTWF), a non-profit organization that focuses on youth empowerment. It takes its name from her 2011 single and album. Media proprietor Oprah Winfrey, writer Deepak Chopra, and US Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius spoke at the foundation’s inauguration at Harvard University.[358] The foundation’s original funding included $1.2 million from Gaga, $500,000 from the MacArthur Foundation, and $850,000 from Barneys New York.[359] In July 2012, the BTWF partnered with Office Depot, which donated 25% of the sales, a minimum of $1 million of a series of limited edition back-to-school products.[360] The foundation’s initiatives have included the «Born Brave Bus» that followed her on tour as a youth drop-in center as an initiative against bullying.[361][362]

In October 2015, at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Gaga joined 200 high school students, policy makers, and academic officials, including Peter Salovey, to discuss ways to recognize and channel emotions for positive outcomes.[363] In 2016, the foundation partnered with Intel, Vox Media, and Recode to fight online harassment.[364] The sales revenue of the 99th issue of the V magazine, which featured Gaga and Kinney, was donated to the foundation.[162] Gaga and Elton John released the clothing and accessories line Love Bravery at Macy’s in May. 25% of each purchase support Gaga’s foundation and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.[365] Gaga partnered with Starbucks for a week in June 2017 with the «Cups of Kindness» campaign, where the company donated 25 cents from some of the beverages sold to the foundation.[366] She also appeared in a video by Staples Inc. to raise funds for the foundation and DonorsChoose.org.[367]

On the 2018 World Kindness Day, Gaga partnered with the foundation to bring food and relief to a Red Cross shelter for people who have been forced to evacuate homes due to the California wildfires. The foundation also partnered with Starbucks and SoulCycle to thank California firefighters for their relief work during the crisis. The singer had to previously evacuate her own home during the Woolsey Fire which spread through parts of Malibu.[368]

In March 2019, she penned a letter to supporters of the Born This Way Foundation, announcing the launch of a new pilot program for a teen mental health first aid project with the National Council for Behavioral Health. Gaga revealed her personal struggles with mental health in her letter and how she was able to get support which saved her life: «I know what it means to have someone support me and understand what I’m going through, and every young person in the world should have someone to turn to when they’re hurting. It saved my life, and it will save theirs.»[369][370] In September 2020, Gaga released an anthology book, Channel Kindness: Stories of Kindness and Community, featuring fifty-one stories about kindness, bravery, and resilience from young people all over the world collected by the Born This Way Foundation, and introduced by herself.[371] She had been promoting it with a 21 days of kindness challenge on her social media, using the «BeKind21» hashtag.[372] In 2021, Gaga collaborated with the Champagne house Dom Pérignon to release a limited edition of Rosé Vintage 2005 bottles along with a sculpture designed by her. The 110 exclusive pieces will be sold at private sales, and the profits will benefit the foundation.[373] On the 2021 World Kindness Day, Gaga released a 30-minute special, titled The Power of Kindness, as part of the foundation’s Channel Kindness program, in which together with a mental health expert and a group of eleven young people, she explored the connection between kindness and mental health.[374]

LGBT advocacy

A bisexual woman,[c] Gaga actively supports LGBT rights worldwide.[375] She attributes much of her early success as a mainstream artist to her gay fans and is considered a gay icon.[376][377] Early in her career she had difficulty getting radio airplay, and stated, «The turning point for me was the gay community.»[378] She thanked FlyLife, a Manhattan-based LGBT marketing company with whom her label Interscope works, in the liner notes of The Fame.[379] One of her first televised performances was in May 2008 at the NewNowNext Awards, an awards show aired by the LGBT television network Logo.[380]

Gaga spoke at the 2009 National Equality March in Washington, D.C. to support the LGBT rights movement.[381] She attended the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards accompanied by four gay and lesbian former members of the United States Armed Forces who had been unable to serve openly under the US military’s «don’t ask, don’t tell» policy, which banned open homosexuality in the military.[382] Gaga urged her fans via YouTube to contact their senators in an effort to overturn the policy. In September 2010, she spoke at a Servicemembers Legal Defense Network’s rally in Portland, Maine. Following this event, The Advocate named her a «fierce advocate» for gays and lesbians.[383]

Gaga appeared at Europride, an international event dedicated to LGBT pride, in Rome in June 2011. She criticized the poor state of gay rights in many European countries and described gay people as «revolutionaries of love».[384] Later that year, she was referenced by teenager Jamey Rodemeyer in the hours prior to his death, with Rodemeyer having tweeted «@ladygaga bye mother monster, thank you for all you have done, paws up forever». Rodemeyer’s suicide prompted Gaga to meet with then-President Barack Obama in order to address anti-gay bullying in American schools.[385] In 2011, she was also ordained as a minister by the Universal Life Church Monastery so that she could officiate the wedding of two female friends.[386]

In June 2016, during a vigil held in Los Angeles for victims of the attack at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Gaga read aloud the names of the 49 people killed in the attack, and gave a speech.[387] Later that month, Gaga appeared in Human Rights Campaign’s tribute video to the victims of the attack.[388] She opposed the presidency of Donald Trump and his military transgender ban.[389][390] She supported former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.[391] In 2018, a leaked memo from Trump’s office revealed that his administration wanted to change the legal definition of sex to exclude transgender Americans. Gaga was one of the many celebrities to call him out and spread the #WontBeErased campaign to her 77 million Twitter followers.[392][393] In January 2019, during one of her Enigma shows, she criticized Vice President Mike Pence for his wife Karen Pence working at an evangelical Christian school where LGBTQ people are turned away, calling him «the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian». Gaga also stated «I am a Christian woman, and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice, and everybody is welcome».[394] Gaga made a congratulatory speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and the LGBTQ+ community’s accomplishments at WorldPride NYC 2019 outside the Stonewall Inn, birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.[395]

Impact

Gaga was named the «Queen of Pop» in a 2011 ranking by Rolling Stone based on record sales and social media metrics. In 2012, she ranked fourth in VH1’s Greatest Women in Music[396][397] and became a feature of the temporary exhibition The Elevated. From the Pharaoh to Lady Gaga, which marked the 150th anniversary of the National Museum in Warsaw.[398]

Gaga has often been praised for using controversy to bring attention to various issues.[399][400] According to Frankie Graddon of The Independent, Gaga—who wore a meat dress to highlight her distaste for the US military’s «don’t ask, don’t tell» policy—influenced protest dressing on red carpet.[401] Billboard named her «the Greatest Pop Star of 2009», asserting that «to say that her one-year rise from rookie to MVP was meteoric doesn’t quite cut it, as she wasn’t just successful, but game-changing—thanks to her voracious appetite for reinvention.»[402] Because of The Fame‘s success—it was listed as one of the 100 Greatest Debut Albums of All-Time by Rolling Stone in 2013[403]—Gaga has been credited as one of the musicians that popularized synthpop in the late 2000s and early 2010s.[404]

According to Kelefa Sanneh of The New Yorker, «Lady Gaga blazed a trail for truculent pop stars by treating her own celebrity as an evolving art project.»[405] Including Born This Way as one of the 50 best female albums of all time, Rolling Stone‘s Rob Sheffield considers it «hard to remember a world where we didn’t have Gaga, although we’re pretty sure it was a lot more boring».[406] In 2015, Time also noted that Gaga had «practically invented the current era of pop music as spectacle».[407] A 2017 journal published by Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts studying structural patterns in melodies of earworm songs compiled lists of catchiest tracks from 3,000 participants, in which Gaga’s «Bad Romance», «Alejandro», and «Poker Face» ranked number one, eight, and nine, respectively.[408] In 2018, NPR named her the second most influential female artist of the 21st century, noting her as «one of the first big artists of the ‘Internet age«.[409] Gaga and her work have influenced various artists including Miley Cyrus,[410] Nicki Minaj,[411] Ellie Goulding,[412] Halsey,[413] Jennifer Lopez,[414] Beyoncé,[415] Nick Jonas,[416] Sam Smith,[417] Noah Cyrus,[418] Katherine Langford,[419] MGMT,[420] Allie X,[421] Greyson Chance,[422] Cardi B,[423] Rina Sawayama,[424] Blackpink,[425] Madison Beer,[426] Ren,[427] Slayyyter,[428] Bebe Rexha,[429] Bree Runway,[430] Celeste,[431] Kim Petras,[432] Jojo Siwa,[433] Pabllo Vittar,[434] Ava Max,[435] Doja Cat,[436] Chaeyoung of Twice,[437] Kanye West,[438] Rachel Zegler,[439] and SZA.[440]

A new genus of ferns, Gaga, and three species, G. germanotta, G. monstraparva and Kaikaia gaga, have been named in her honor. The name monstraparva alluded to Gaga’s fans, known as Little Monsters, since their symbol is the outstretched «monster claw» hand, which resembles a tightly rolled young fern leaf prior to unfurling.[441][442] Gaga also has an extinct mammal, Gagadon minimonstrum,[443] and a parasitic wasp, Aleiodes gaga, named for her.[444][445]

In Taichung, Taiwan, July 3 is designated as «Lady Gaga Day» marking the first day Gaga visited the country in 2011.[446] In May 2021, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Born This Way and its cultural impact, West Hollywood mayor, Lindsey P. Horvath, presented a key to the city to Gaga and declared May 23 as «Born This Way Day.» A street painting with the Daniel Quasar’s version of the pride flag featuring the album’s title was also unveiled on Robertson Boulevard as a tribute to the album, and how it has inspired the LGBT community over the years.[447]

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta ( STEF-ən-ee JUR-mə-NOT; born March 28, 1986), known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her image reinventions and musical versatility. Gaga began performing as a teenager, singing at open mic nights and acting in school plays. She studied at Collaborative Arts Project 21, through the New York University Tisch School of the Arts, before dropping out to pursue a career in music. After Def Jam Recordings canceled her contract, she worked as a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing, where she signed a joint deal with Interscope Records and KonLive Distribution, in 2007. Gaga had her breakthrough the following year with her debut studio album, The Fame, and its chart-topping singles «Just Dance» and «Poker Face». The album was later reissued to include the extended play The Fame Monster (2009), which yielded the successful singles «Bad Romance», «Telephone», and «Alejandro».

Gaga’s five succeeding studio albums all debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her second full-length album, Born This Way (2011), explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold more than one million copies in its first week. The title track became the fastest-selling song on the iTunes Store, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Following her EDM-influenced third album, Artpop (2013), and its lead single «Applause», Gaga released the jazz album Cheek to Cheek (2014) with Tony Bennett, and the soft rock album Joanne (2016). She ventured into acting, winning awards for her leading roles in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016) and the musical film A Star Is Born (2018). Her contributions to the latter’s soundtrack, which spawned the chart-topping single «Shallow», made her the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award, and Grammy Award in one year. Gaga returned to dance-pop with her sixth studio album, Chromatica (2020), which yielded the number-one single «Rain on Me». She followed this with her second collaborative album with Bennett, Love for Sale, and a starring role in the biopic House of Gucci, both in 2021.

Having sold an estimated 170 million records, Gaga is one of the world’s best-selling music artists and the only female artist to achieve four singles that each sold at least 10 million copies globally. Her accolades include 13 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, 18 MTV Video Music Awards, awards from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and recognition as Billboard‘s Artist of the Year (2010) and Woman of the Year (2015). She has also been included in several Forbes power rankings and ranked fourth on VH1’s Greatest Women in Music (2012). Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010 and 2019 and placed her on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list. Her philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBT rights; she has her own non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation, which supports the wellness of young people. Gaga’s business ventures include Haus Labs, a vegan cosmetics brand launched in 2019.

Life and career

1986–2004: Early life

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986, at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, New York City,[1] to an upper middle class Catholic family. Both of her parents have Italian ancestry.[2] Her parents are Cynthia Louise (née Bissett), a philanthropist and business executive, and Internet entrepreneur Joseph Germanotta,[3] and she has a younger sister named Natali.[4] Brought up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Gaga said in an interview that her parents came from lower-class families and worked hard for everything.[5][6] From age 11, she attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private all-girls Roman Catholic school.[7] Gaga has described her high-school self as «very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined» but also «a bit insecure». She considered herself a misfit and was mocked for «being either too provocative or too eccentric».[8]

Gaga began playing the piano at age four when her mother insisted she become «a cultured young woman». She took piano lessons and practiced through her childhood. The lessons taught her to create music by ear, which she preferred over reading sheet music. Her parents encouraged her to pursue music and enrolled her in Creative Arts Camp.[9] As a teenager, she played at open mic nights.[10] Gaga played the lead roles of Adelaide in the play Guys and Dolls and Philia in the play A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at Regis High School.[11] She also studied method acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute for ten years.[12] Gaga unsuccessfully auditioned for New York shows, though she did appear in a small role as a high-school student in a 2001 episode of The Sopranos titled «The Telltale Moozadell».[13][14] She later said of her inclination towards music:

I don’t know exactly where my affinity for music comes from, but it is the thing that comes easiest to me. When I was like three years old, I may have been even younger, my mom always tells this really embarrassing story of me propping myself up and playing the keys like this because I was too young and short to get all the way up there. Just go like this on the low end of the piano … I was really, really good at piano, so my first instincts were to work so hard at practicing piano, and I might not have been a natural dancer, but I am a natural musician. That is the thing that I believe I am the greatest at.[15]

In 2003, at age 17, Gaga gained early admission to Collaborative Arts Project 21, a music school at New York University (NYU)’s Tisch School of the Arts, and lived in an NYU dorm. She studied music there, and improved her songwriting skills by writing essays on art, religion, social issues and politics, including a thesis on pop artists Spencer Tunick and Damien Hirst.[16][17] In 2005, she withdrew from school during the second semester of her second year to focus on her music career.[18] That year, she also played an unsuspecting diner customer for MTV’s Boiling Points, a prank reality television show.[19]

In a 2014 interview, Gaga said she had been raped at age 19, for which she later underwent mental and physical therapy.[20] She has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which she attributes to the incident, and credits support from doctors, family and friends with helping her.[21] Gaga later gave additional details about the rape, including that «the person who raped me dropped me off pregnant on a corner at my parents’ house because I was vomiting and sick. Because I’d been being abused. I was locked away in a studio for months.»[22]

2005–2007: Career beginnings

In 2005, Gaga recorded two songs with hip-hop artist Melle Mel for an audio book accompanying Cricket Casey’s children’s novel The Portal in the Park.[23] She also formed a band called the SGBand with some friends from NYU.[11][24] They played gigs around New York and became a fixture of the downtown Lower East Side club scene.[11] After the 2006 Songwriters Hall of Fame New Songwriters Showcase at the Cutting Room in June, talent scout Wendy Starland recommended her to music producer Rob Fusari.[25] Fusari collaborated with Gaga, who traveled daily to New Jersey, helping to develop her songs and compose new material.[26] The producer said they began dating in May 2006, and claimed to have been the first person to call her «Lady Gaga», which was derived from Queen’s song «Radio Ga Ga».[27] Their relationship lasted until January 2007.[28]

Fusari and Gaga established a company called «Team Lovechild, LLC» to promote her career.[27] They recorded and produced electropop tracks, sending them to music industry executives. Joshua Sarubin, the head of Artists and repertoire (A&R) at Def Jam Recordings, responded positively and, after approval from Sarubin’s boss Antonio «L.A.» Reid, Gaga was signed to Def Jam in September 2006.[29][30] She was dropped from the label three months later[31] and returned to her family home for Christmas. Gaga began performing at neo-burlesque shows, which according to her represented freedom.[32] During this time, she met performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped mold her onstage persona.[33] The pair began performing at downtown club venues like the Mercury Lounge, the Bitter End, and the Rockwood Music Hall. Their live performance art piece, known as «Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue» and billed as «The Ultimate Pop Burlesque Rockshow», was a tribute to 1970s variety acts.[34][35] They performed at the 2007 Lollapalooza music festival.[34]

Having initially focused on avant-garde electronic dance music, Gaga began to incorporate pop melodies and the glam rock style of David Bowie and Queen into her songs. While Gaga and Starlight were performing, Fusari continued to develop the songs he had created with her, sending them to the producer and record executive Vincent Herbert.[36] In November 2007, Herbert signed Gaga to his label Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records, established that month.[37] Gaga later credited Herbert as the man who discovered her.[38] Having served as an apprentice songwriter during an internship at Famous Music Publishing, Gaga struck a music publishing deal with Sony/ATV. As a result, she was hired to write songs for Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block, Fergie, and the Pussycat Dolls.[39] At Interscope, musician Akon was impressed with her singing abilities when she sang a reference vocal for one of his tracks in studio.[40] Akon convinced Jimmy Iovine, chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records (a brother company for Def Jam), to form a joint deal by having Gaga also sign with his own label KonLive, making her his «franchise player».[31][41]

In late 2007, Gaga met with songwriter and producer RedOne.[42] She collaborated with him in the recording studio for a week on her debut album, signing with Cherrytree Records, an Interscope imprint established by producer and songwriter Martin Kierszenbaum; she also wrote four songs with Kierszenbaum.[39] Despite securing a record deal, she said that some radio stations found her music too «racy», «dance-oriented», and «underground» for the mainstream market, to which she replied: «My name is Lady Gaga, I’ve been on the music scene for years, and I’m telling you, this is what’s next.»[7]

2008–2010: Breakthrough with The Fame and The Fame Monster

By 2008, Gaga had relocated to Los Angeles to work extensively with her record label to complete her debut album, The Fame, and to set up her own creative team called the Haus of Gaga, modeled on Andy Warhol’s The Factory.[43][44] The Fame was released on August 19, 2008,[45] and reached number one in Austria, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland and the UK, as well as the top five in Australia and the US.[46][47] Its first two singles, «Just Dance» and «Poker Face»,[48] reached number one in the United States,[49] Australia,[50] Canada[51] and the UK.[52] The latter was also the world’s best-selling single of 2009, with 9.8 million copies sold that year, and spent a record 83 weeks on Billboard magazine’s Digital Songs chart.[53][54] Three other singles, «Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)», «LoveGame» and «Paparazzi», were released from the album;[55] the lattermost reached number one in Germany.[56] Remixed versions of the singles from The Fame, except «Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)», were included on Hitmixes in August 2009.[57] At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, The Fame and «Poker Face» won Best Dance/Electronica Album and Best Dance Recording, respectively.[58]

Following her opening act on the Pussycat Dolls’ 2009 Doll Domination Tour in Europe and Oceania, Gaga headlined her worldwide The Fame Ball Tour, which ran from March to September 2009.[60] While traveling the globe, she wrote eight songs for The Fame Monster, a reissue of The Fame.[61] Those new songs were also released as a standalone EP on November 18, 2009.[62] Its first single, «Bad Romance», was released one month earlier[63] and went number one in Canada[51] and the UK,[52] and number two in the US,[49] Australia[64] and New Zealand.[65] «Telephone», with Beyoncé, followed as the second single from the EP and became Gaga’s fourth UK number one.[66][67] Its third single was «Alejandro»,[68] which reached number one in Finland[69] and attracted controversy when its music video was deemed blasphemous by the Catholic League.[70] Both tracks reached the top five in the US.[49] The video for «Bad Romance» became the most watched on YouTube in April 2010, and that October, Gaga became the first person with more than one billion combined views.[71][72] At the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, she won eight awards from 13 nominations, including Video of the Year for «Bad Romance».[73] She was the most nominated artist for a single year, and the first woman to receive two nominations for Video of the Year at the same ceremony.[74] The Fame Monster won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and «Bad Romance» won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Short Form Music Video at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.[75]

In 2009, Gaga spent a record 150 weeks on the UK Singles Chart and became the most downloaded female act in a year in the US, with 11.1 million downloads sold, earning an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.[76][77] Worldwide, The Fame and The Fame Monster together have sold more than 15 million copies, and the latter was 2010’s second best-selling album.[78][79][80] Its success allowed Gaga to start her second worldwide concert tour, The Monster Ball Tour, and release The Remix, her final record with Cherrytree Records[81] and among the best-selling remix albums of all time.[82][83] The Monster Ball Tour ran from November 2009 to May 2011 and grossed $227.4 million, making it the highest-grossing concert tour for a debut headlining artist.[59][84] Concerts performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City were filmed for an HBO television special, Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden.[85] Gaga also performed songs from her albums at the 2009 Royal Variety Performance, the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, and the 2010 Brit Awards.[86] Before Michael Jackson’s death, Gaga was set to take part in his canceled This Is It concert series at the O2 Arena in the UK.[87]

During this era, Gaga ventured into business, collaborating with consumer electronics company Monster Cable Products to create in-ear, jewel-encrusted headphones called Heartbeats by Lady Gaga.[88] She also partnered with Polaroid in January 2010 as their creative director and announced a suite of photo-capture products called Grey Label.[89][90] Her collaboration with her past record producer and ex-boyfriend Rob Fusari led to a lawsuit against her production team, Mermaid Music LLC.[a] At this time, Gaga was tested borderline positive for lupus, but claimed not to be affected by the symptoms and hoped to maintain a healthy lifestyle.[93][94]

2011–2014: Born This Way, Artpop, and Cheek to Cheek

In February 2011, Gaga released «Born This Way», the lead single from her studio album of the same name. The song sold more than one million copies within five days, earning the Guinness World Record for the fastest selling single on iTunes.[95] It debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the 1,000th number-one single in the history of the charts.[96] Its second single «Judas» followed two months later,[97] and «The Edge of Glory» served as its third single.[98] Both reached the top 10 in the US and the UK.[49][52] Her music video for «The Edge of Glory», unlike her previous work, portrays her dancing on a fire escape and walking on a lonely street, without intricate choreography and back-up dancers.[99]

Born This Way was released on May 23, 2011,[97] and debuted atop the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 1.1 million copies.[100] The album sold eight million copies worldwide and received three Grammy nominations, including Gaga’s third consecutive nomination for Album of the Year.[101][102] Rolling Stone listed it among «The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time» in 2020.[103] Born This Ways following singles were «You and I» and «Marry the Night»,[104] which reached numbers six and 29 in the US, respectively.[49] While filming the former’s music video, Gaga met and started dating actor Taylor Kinney in July 2011, who played her love interest.[105][106] She also embarked on the Born This Way Ball tour in April 2012, which was scheduled to conclude the following March, but ended one month earlier when Gaga canceled the remaining dates due to a labral tear of her right hip that required surgery.[107] While refunds for the cancellations were estimated to be worth $25 million,[108] the tour grossed $183.9 million globally.[109]

In 2011, Gaga also worked with Tony Bennett on a jazz version of «The Lady Is a Tramp»,[110] with Elton John on «Hello Hello» for the animated feature film Gnomeo & Juliet,[111] and with The Lonely Island and Justin Timberlake on «3-Way (The Golden Rule)».[112] She also performed a concert at the Sydney Town Hall in Australia that year to promote Born This Way and to celebrate former US President Bill Clinton’s 65th birthday.[113] In November, she was featured in a Thanksgiving television special titled A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, which attracted 5.7 million American viewers and spawned the release of her fourth EP, A Very Gaga Holiday.[114] In 2012, Gaga guest-starred as an animated version of herself in an episode of The Simpsons called «Lisa Goes Gaga»,[115] and released her first fragrance, Lady Gaga Fame, followed by a second one, Eau de Gaga, in 2014.[b]

Gaga began work on her third studio album, Artpop, in early 2012, during the Born This Way Ball tour; she crafted the album to mirror «a night at the club».[118][119][120] In August 2013, Gaga released the album’s lead single «Applause»,[121] which reached number one in Hungary, number four in the US, and number five in the UK.[52][49][122] A lyric video for Artpop track «Aura» followed in October to accompany Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills, where she plays an assassin named La Chameleon.[123] The film received generally mixed reviews and earned less than half of its $33 million budget.[124][125] The second Artpop single, «Do What U Want», featured singer R. Kelly and was released later that month,[126] topping the charts in Hungary and reaching number 13 in the US.[49][127] Artpop was released on November 6, 2013, to mixed reviews.[128] Helen Brown in The Daily Telegraph criticized Gaga for making another album about her fame and doubted the record’s originality, but found it «great for dancing».[129] The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, and sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide as of July 2014.[130][131] «G.U.Y.» was released as the third single in March 2014 and peaked at number 76 in the US.[49][132]

Earning $83 million, the tour included cities canceled from the Born This Way Ball tour itinerary.[138] In the meantime, Gaga split from longtime manager Troy Carter over «creative differences»,[139] and by June 2014, she and new manager Bobby Campbell joined Artist Nation, the artist management division of Live Nation Entertainment.[140] She briefly appeared in Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and was confirmed as Versace’s spring-summer 2014 ambassador with a campaign called «Lady Gaga For Versace».[141][142]

In September 2014, Gaga released a collaborative jazz album with Tony Bennett titled Cheek to Cheek. The inspiration behind the album came from her friendship with Bennett, and fascination with jazz music since her childhood.[143] Before the album was released, it produced the singles «Anything Goes» and «I Can’t Give You Anything but Love».[144] Cheek to Cheek received generally favorable reviews;[145] The Guardians Caroline Sullivan praised Gaga’s vocals and Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune wrote that «Cheek to Cheek serves up the real thing, start to finish».[146][147] The record was Gaga’s third consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200,[148] and won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.[149] The duo recorded the concert special Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live!,[150] and embarked on the Cheek to Cheek Tour from December 2014 to August 2015.[151]

2015–2017: American Horror Story, Joanne, and Super Bowl performances

In February 2015, Gaga became engaged to Taylor Kinney.[152] After the lukewarm response to Artpop, Gaga began to reinvent her image and style. According to Billboard, this shift started with the release of Cheek to Cheek and the attention she received for her performance at the 87th Academy Awards, where she sang a medley of songs from The Sound of Music in a tribute to Julie Andrews.[133] Considered one of her best performances by Billboard, it triggered more than 214,000 interactions per minute globally on Facebook.[153][154] She and Diane Warren co-wrote the song «Til It Happens to You» for the documentary The Hunting Ground, which earned them the Satellite Award for Best Original Song and an Academy Award nomination in the same category.[155] Gaga won Billboard Woman of the Year and Contemporary Icon Award at the 2015 Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards.[156][157]

Gaga had spent much of her early life wanting to be an actress, and achieved her goal when she starred in American Horror Story: Hotel.[158] Running from October 2015 to January 2016, Hotel is the fifth season of the television anthology horror series, American Horror Story, in which Gaga played a hotel owner named Elizabeth.[159][160] At the 73rd Golden Globe Awards, Gaga received the Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film award for her work on the season.[158] She appeared in Nick Knight’s 2015 fashion film for Tom Ford’s 2016 spring campaign[161] and was guest editor for V fashion magazine’s 99th issue in January 2016, which featured 16 different covers.[162] She received Editor of the Year award at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards.[163]

In February 2016, Gaga sang the US national anthem at Super Bowl 50,[164] partnered with Intel and Nile Rodgers for a tribute performance to the late David Bowie at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards,[165] and sang «Til It Happens to You» at the 88th Academy Awards, where she was introduced by Joe Biden and was accompanied on-stage by 50 people who had suffered from sexual assault.[166] She was honored that April with the Artist Award at the Jane Ortner Education Awards by The Grammy Museum, which recognizes artists who have demonstrated passion and dedication to education through the arts.[167] Her engagement to Taylor Kinney ended in July; she later said her career had interfered with their relationship.[168]

Gaga played a witch named Scathach in American Horror Story: Roanoke, the series’ sixth season,[169] which ran from September to November 2016.[170][171] Her role in the fifth season of the show ultimately influenced her future music, prompting her to feature «the art of darkness».[172] In September 2016, she released her fifth album’s lead single, «Perfect Illusion», which topped the charts in France and reached number 15 in the US.[173][174][175] The album, titled Joanne, was named after Gaga’s late aunt, who was an inspiration for the music.[176] It was released on October 21, 2016, and became Gaga’s fourth number one album on the Billboard 200, making her the first woman to reach the US chart’s summit four times in the 2010s.[177] The album’s second single, «Million Reasons», followed the next month and reached number four in the US.[175][178] She later released a piano version of the album’s title track in 2018,[179] which won a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance.[180] To promote the album, Gaga embarked on the three-date Dive Bar Tour.[181]

Gaga performed as the headlining act during the Super Bowl LI halftime show on February 5, 2017. Her performance featured a group of hundreds of lighted drones forming various shapes in the sky above Houston’s NRG Stadium—the first time robotic aircraft appeared in a Super Bowl program.[182] It attracted 117.5 million viewers in the United States, exceeding the game’s 111.3 million viewers and making it the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime show to date.[183] The performance led to a surge of 410,000 song downloads in the United States for Gaga and earned her an Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Special Class Program category.[184][185] CBS Sports included her performance as the second best in the history of Super Bowl halftime shows.[186] In April, Gaga headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[187] She also released a standalone-single, «The Cure», which reached the top 10 in Australia.[188][189] In August, Gaga began the Joanne World Tour, which she announced after the Super Bowl LI halftime show.[190] Gaga’s creation of Joanne and preparation for her halftime show performance were featured in the documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, which premiered on Netflix that September.[191] Throughout the film, she was seen suffering from chronic pain, which was later revealed to be the effect of a long-term condition called fibromyalgia.[192] In February 2018, it prompted Gaga to cancel the last ten shows of the Joanne World Tour, which ultimately grossed $95 million from 842,000 tickets sold.[193][194]

In March 2018, Gaga supported the March for Our Lives gun-control rally in Washington, D.C.,[196] and released a cover of Elton John’s «Your Song» for his tribute album Revamp.[197] Later that year, she starred as struggling singer Ally in Bradley Cooper’s musical romantic drama A Star Is Born, a remake of the 1937 film of the same name. The film follows Ally’s relationship with singer Jackson Maine (played by Cooper), which becomes strained after her career begins to overshadow his. It received acclaim from critics, with a consensus that the movie had «appealing leads, deft direction, and an affecting love story».[198] Cooper approached Gaga after seeing her perform at a cancer research fundraiser. An admirer of Cooper’s work, Gaga agreed to the project due to its portrayal of addiction and depression.[199][200] A Star Is Born premiered at the 2018 Venice Film Festival, and was released worldwide that October.[201] Gaga’s performance was acclaimed by film critics, with Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian labeling the film «outrageously watchable» and stating that «Gaga’s ability to be part ordinary person, part extraterrestrial celebrity empress functions at the highest level»;[202] Stephanie Zacharek of Time magazine similarly highlighted her «knockout performance» and found her to be «charismatic» without her usual makeup, wigs and costumes.[203] For the role, Gaga won the National Board of Review and Critics’ Choice awards for Best Actress, in addition to receiving nominations for the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actress.[204]

Gaga and Cooper co-wrote and produced most of the songs on the soundtrack for A Star Is Born, which she insisted they perform live in the film.[205] Its lead single, «Shallow», performed by the two, was released on September 27, 2018[206] and topped the charts in various countries including Australia, the UK and the US.[207] The soundtrack contains 34 tracks, including 17 original songs, and received generally positive reviews;[208] Mark Kennedy of The Washington Post called it a «five-star marvel» and Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian termed it an «instant classics full of Gaga’s emotional might».[209][210] Commercially, the soundtrack debuted at number one in the US, making Gaga the first woman with five US number-one albums in the 2010s, and breaking her tie with Taylor Swift as the most for any female artist this decade;[211] Swift tied with her again in 2019.[212] It additionally topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland and the UK.[213] As of June 2019, the soundtrack had sold over six million copies worldwide.[214] The album won Gaga four Grammy Awards—Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media for «Shallow», as well as the latter category for «I’ll Never Love Again»—and a BAFTA Award for Best Film Music.[180][215][216] «Shallow» also won her the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and Critics’ Choice Award for Best Original Song.[204]

In October, Gaga announced her engagement to talent agent Christian Carino whom she had met in early 2017.[217] They ended the engagement in February 2019.[218] Gaga signed a concert residency, named Lady Gaga Enigma + Jazz & Piano, to perform at the MGM Park Theater in Las Vegas.[219] The residency consists of two types of shows: Enigma, which focused on theatricality and included Gaga’s biggest hits,[220] and Jazz & Piano, which involved tracks from the Great American Songbook and stripped-down versions of Gaga’s songs. The Enigma show opened in December 2018 and the Jazz & Piano in January 2019.[221] Gaga launched her vegan makeup line, Haus Laboratories, in September 2019 exclusively on Amazon.

During the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States on January 20, 2021, Gaga sang the US national anthem.[234] In February 2021, her dog walker Ryan Fischer was hospitalized after getting shot in Hollywood. Two of her French Bulldogs, Koji and Gustav, were taken while a third dog named Miss Asia escaped and was subsequently recovered by police. Gaga later offered a $500,000 reward for the return of her pets.[235][236] Two days later, on February 26, a woman brought the dogs to a police station in Los Angeles. Both were unharmed. Los Angeles Police initially said the woman who dropped off the dogs did not appear to be involved with the shooting,[237] but on April 29, she was one of five people charged in connection with the shooting and theft.[238] In December 2022, James Howard Jackson, the man who shot Fischer, was sentenced to 21 years in prison.[239]

In April 2021, Gaga teamed up with Champagne brand Dom Pérignon, and appeared in an ad shot by Nick Knight.[240] On September 3, she released her third remix album, Dawn of Chromatica.[241] This was followed by her second collaborative album with Tony Bennett, titled Love for Sale, on September 30.[242] The record received generally favorable reviews, and debuted at number eight in the US.[243][244] The album’s promotional rollout included the television special One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, released in November 2021, on CBS, which featured select performances from the duo’s August 3 and 5 performances at Radio City Music Hall.[245][246] Another taped performance by the duo recorded for MTV Unplugged was released that December.[247] At the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, Love for Sale won Gaga and Bennett the award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.[248]

After an appearance in the television special Friends: The Reunion, in which Gaga sang «Smelly Cat» with Lisa Kudrow,[249] she portrayed Patrizia Reggiani, who was convicted of hiring a hitman to murder her ex-husband and former head of the Gucci fashion house Maurizio Gucci (played by Adam Driver), in Ridley Scott’s biographical crime film titled House of Gucci.[250][251] For the part, Gaga learned to speak with an Italian accent. She also stayed in character for 18 months, speaking with an accent for nine months during that period.[252] Her method acting approach took a toll on her mental wellbeing, and towards the end of filming she had to be accompanied on-set by a psychiatric nurse.[253] The film was released on November 24, 2021, to mixed reviews, though critics praised Gaga’s performance as «note-perfect».[254] She earned the New York Film Critics Circle Award, and nominations for the BAFTA Award, Critics’ Choice Award, Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress.[255] Gaga wrote the song «Hold My Hand» for the 2022 film Top Gun: Maverick,[256] and also composed the score alongside Hans Zimmer and Harold Faltermeyer.[257] In July 2022, she embarked on The Chromatica Ball stadium tour,[258] which had twenty dates and grossed $112.4 million from 834,000 tickets sold.[233] By the end of the year, she became the highest grossing female artist of 2022.[259] Gaga is set to star with Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie à Deux, which will be released in 2024.[260]

Influences

Gaga grew up listening to artists such as Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Christina Aguilera and Blondie,[261][262][263] who have all influenced her music.[264][265] Gaga’s musical inspiration varies from dance-pop singers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson to glam rock artists such as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, as well as the theatrics of the pop artist Andy Warhol and her own performance roots in musical theater.[31][266] She has been compared to Madonna, who has said that she sees herself reflected in Gaga.[267] Gaga says that she wants to revolutionize pop music as Madonna has.[268] Gaga has also cited heavy metal bands as an influence, specifically Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Marilyn Manson.[269][270][271][272] She credits Beyoncé as a key inspiration to pursue a musical career.[273]

Gaga was inspired by her mother to be interested in fashion, which she now says is a major influence and integrated with her music.[18][274] Stylistically, Gaga has been compared to Leigh Bowery, Isabella Blow, and Cher;[275][276] she once commented that as a child, she absorbed Cher’s fashion sense and made it her own.[276] Gaga became friends with British fashion designer Alexander McQueen shortly before his suicide in 2010, and became known for wearing his designs, particularly his towering armadillo shoes.[93][277] She considers fashion designer Donatella Versace her muse; Versace has called Lady Gaga «the fresh Donatella».[278][279] Gaga has also been influenced by Princess Diana, whom she has admired since her childhood.[280]

Gaga has called the Indian alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra a «true inspiration»,[281] and has also quoted Indian leader Osho’s book Creativity on Twitter. Gaga says she was influenced by Osho’s work in valuing rebellion through creativity and equality.[282]

Musical style and themes

Critics have analyzed and scrutinized Gaga’s musical and performance style, as she has experimented with new ideas and images throughout her career. She says the continual reinvention is «liberating» herself, which she has been drawn to since childhood.[283] Gaga combines a variety of music genres, particularly incorporating elements of rock into her pop and dance music. She has also branched out into jazz and other non-pop musical genres.[284] Gaga is a contralto, with a range spanning from B2 to B5.[285][286][287] She has changed her vocal style regularly, and considers Born This Way «much more vocally up to par with what I’ve always been capable of».[288][289] In summing up her voice, Entertainment Weekly wrote: «There’s an immense emotional intelligence behind the way she uses her voice. Almost never does she overwhelm a song with her vocal ability, recognizing instead that artistry is to be found in nuance rather than lung power.»[290]

According to Evan Sawdey of PopMatters, Gaga «manage[s] to get you moving and grooving at an almost effortless pace».[291] Gaga believes that «all good music can be played on a piano and still sound like a hit».[292] Simon Reynolds wrote in 2010, «Everything about Gaga came from electroclash, except the music, which wasn’t particularly 1980s, just ruthlessly catchy naughties pop glazed with Auto-Tune and undergirded with R&B-ish beats.»[293]

Gaga’s songs have covered a wide variety of concepts; The Fame discusses the lust for stardom, while the follow-up The Fame Monster expresses fame’s dark side through monster metaphors. The Fame is an electropop and dance-pop album that has influences of 1980s pop and 1990s Europop,[294] whereas The Fame Monster displays Gaga’s taste for pastiche, drawing on «Seventies arena glam, perky ABBA disco, and sugary throwbacks like Stacey Q».[295] Born This Way has lyrics in English, French, German, and Spanish and features themes common to Gaga’s controversial songwriting such as sex, love, religion, money, drugs, identity, liberation, sexuality, freedom, and individualism.[296] The album explores new genres, such as electronic rock and techno.[297]

The themes in Artpop revolve around Gaga’s personal views of fame, love, sex, feminism, self-empowerment, overcoming addiction, and reactions to media scrutiny.[298] Billboard describes Artpop as «coherently channeling R&B, techno, disco and rock music».[299] With Cheek to Cheek, Gaga dabbled in the jazz genre.[300] Joanne, exploring the genres of country, funk, pop, dance, rock, electronic music and folk, was influenced by her personal life.[301] The A Star Is Born soundtrack contains elements of blues rock, country and bubblegum pop.[209] Billboard says its lyrics are about wanting change, its struggle, love, romance, and bonding, describing the music as «timeless, emotional, gritty and earnest. They sound like songs written by artists who, quite frankly, are supremely messed up but hit to the core of the listener.»[302] On Chromatica, Gaga returned to her dance-pop roots, and discussed her struggles with mental health.[303] Her second album with Tony Bennett, Love for Sale, consists of a tribute to Cole Porter.[304]

Featuring constant costume changes and provocative visuals, Gaga’s music videos are often described as short films.[305] The video for «Telephone» earned Gaga the Guinness World Record for Most Product Placement in a Video.[306] According to author Curtis Fogel, she explores bondage and sadomasochism and highlights prevalent feminist themes. The main themes of her music videos are sex, violence, and power. She calls herself «a little bit of a feminist» and asserts that she is «sexually empowering women».[307] Billboard ranked her sixth on its list of «The 100 Greatest Music Video Artists of All Time» in 2020, stating that «the name ‘Lady Gaga’ will forever be synonymous with culture-shifting music videos».[308]

Regarded as «one of the greatest living musical performers» by Rolling Stone,[309] Gaga has called herself a perfectionist when it comes to her elaborate shows.[310] Her performances have been described as «highly entertaining and innovative»;[311] the blood-spurting performance of «Paparazzi» at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards was described as «eye-popping» by MTV News.[312] She continued the blood-soaked theme during The Monster Ball Tour, causing protests in England from family groups and fans in the aftermath of the Cumbria shootings, in which a taxi driver had killed 12 people, then himself.[313] At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, Gaga appeared in drag as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone, and delivered a lovesick monologue before a performance of her song «You and I».[314] As Gaga’s choreographer and creative director, Laurieann Gibson provided material for her shows and videos for four years before she was replaced by her assistant Richard Jackson in 2014.[315]

In an October 2018 article for Billboard, Rebecca Schiller traced back Gaga’s videography from «Just Dance» to the release of A Star Is Born. Schiller noted that following the Artpop era, Gaga’s stripped-down approach to music was reflected in the clips for the singles from Joanne, taking the example of the music video of lead single «Perfect Illusion» where she eschewed «the elaborate outfits for shorts and a tee-shirt as she performed the song at a desert party». It continued with her performances in the film as well as her stage persona.[316] Reviewing The Chromatica Ball in 2022, Chris Willman of Variety wrote that Gaga «could have further played the authenticity card for all it’s worth» after the release of Joanne and A Star Is Born, but instead «has determined to keep herself weird — or just weird enough to provide necessarily ballast to her more earnest inclinations».[317]

Public image

In 2010, eight wax figures of Gaga were installed at the museum Madame Tussauds.[318]

Public reception of her music, fashion sense, and persona is polarized. Because of her influence on modern culture, and her rise to global fame, sociologist Mathieu Deflem of the University of South Carolina has offered a course titled «Lady Gaga and the Sociology of the Fame» since early 2011 with the objective of unraveling «some of the sociologically relevant dimensions of the fame of Lady Gaga».[319] When Gaga met briefly with then-president Barack Obama at a Human Rights Campaign fundraiser, he found the interaction «intimidating» as she was dressed in 16-inch heels, making her the tallest woman in the room.[320] When interviewed by Barbara Walters for her annual ABC News special 10 Most Fascinating People in 2009, Gaga dismissed the claim that she is intersex as an urban legend. Responding to a question on this issue, she expressed her fondness for androgyny.[321]

Gaga’s outlandish fashion sense has also served as an important aspect of her character.[275][278] During her early career, members of the media compared her fashion choices to those of Christina Aguilera.[278] In 2011, 121 women gathered at the Grammy Awards dressed in costumes similar to those worn by Gaga, earning the 2011 Guinness World Record for Largest Gathering of Lady Gaga Impersonators.[95] The Global Language Monitor named «Lady Gaga» as the Top Fashion Buzzword with her trademark «no pants» a close third.[322] Entertainment Weekly put her outfits on its end of the decade «best-of» list, saying that she «brought performance art into the mainstream».[323] People ranked her number one on their «Best Dressed Stars of 2021» list, writing that Gaga «strutted the streets in high-fashion designs, from a sculptural seersucker number to a black lace corseted gown—accessorizing each with elegant updos, sky-high heels and retro shades—like it was no sweat.»[324]

Time placed Gaga on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list, stating: «Lady Gaga is just as notorious for her outrageous style as she is for her pop hits … [Gaga] has sported outfits made from plastic bubbles, Kermit the Frog dolls, and raw meat.»[325] Gaga wore a dress made of raw beef to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, which was supplemented by boots, a purse, and a hat also made out of raw beef.[326] Partly awarded in recognition of the dress, Vogue named her one of the Best Dressed people of 2010 and Time named the dress the Fashion Statement of the year.[327][328] It attracted the attention of worldwide media; the animal rights organization PETA found it offensive.[329] The meat dress was displayed at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in 2012,[330] and entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in September 2015.[331]

Gaga’s fans call her «Mother Monster», and she often refers to them as «Little Monsters», a phrase she had tattooed on herself in dedication.[332] In his article «Lady Gaga Pioneered Online Fandom Culture As We Know It» for Vice, Jake Hall wrote that Gaga inspired several subsequent fan-brandings, such as those of Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Justin Bieber.[333] In July 2012, Gaga also co-founded the social networking service LittleMonsters.com, devoted to her fans.[334] Scott Hardy, CEO of Polaroid, praised Gaga for inspiring fans and for her close interactions with them on social media.[335]

Censorship

In 2011, the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China acting on behalf of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, banned Gaga for «being vulgar.»[336] The ban was lifted in 2014. However, conditions for Artpop to go on sale legally in China were placed on the album artwork, covering her almost naked body. Officials also changed the title of the song «Sexxx Dreams» to «X Dreams.»[337]

In 2016, Gaga was banned in China again after she publicly talked with the Dalai Lama.[338][339] The Chinese government added Gaga to a list of hostile foreign forces, and Chinese websites and media organizations were ordered to stop distributing her songs. The Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party also issued an order for state-controlled media to condemn this meeting.[340] In the following years, Gaga’s image was blacked out in reporting of the 91st Academy Awards in China and her appearance was cut from Friends: The Reunion; both incidents received backlash from her Chinese fans.[341][342]

Activism

Philanthropy

After declining an invitation to appear on the single «We Are the World 25 for Haiti», because of rehearsals for her tour, to benefit victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Gaga donated the proceeds of her January 2010 Radio City Music Hall concert to the country’s reconstruction relief fund.[343] All profits from her online store that day were also donated, and Gaga announced that $500,000 was collected for the fund.[344] Hours after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, Gaga tweeted a link to Japan Prayer Bracelets. All revenue from a bracelet she designed in conjunction with the company was donated to relief efforts;[345] these raised $1.5 million.[346] In June 2011, Gaga performed at MTV Japan’s charity show in Makuhari Messe, which benefited the Japanese Red Cross.[347]

In 2012, Gaga joined the campaign group Artists Against Fracking.[348] That October, Yoko Ono gave Gaga and four other activists the LennonOno Grant for Peace in Reykjavík, Iceland.[349] The following month, Gaga pledged to donate $1 million to the American Red Cross to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Gaga also contributes in the fight against HIV and AIDS, focusing on educating young women about the risks of the disease. In collaboration with Cyndi Lauper, Gaga joined forces with MAC Cosmetics to launch a line of lipstick under their supplementary cosmetic line, Viva Glam.[350] Sales have raised more than $202 million to fight HIV and AIDS.[351]

In April 2016, Gaga joined Vice President Joe Biden at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to support Biden’s It’s On Us campaign as he traveled to colleges on behalf of the organization, which has seen 250,000 students from more than 530 colleges sign a pledge of solidarity and activism.[352] Two months later, Gaga attended the 84th Annual US Conference of Mayors in Indianapolis where she joined with the Dalai Lama to talk about the power of kindness and how to make the world a more compassionate place.[353]

In April 2020, Gaga curated the televised benefit concert, One World: Together at Home, a collaboration with Global Citizen to benefit the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.[354][355] The special raised $127 million, which according to Forbes «puts it on par with the other legendary fundraiser, Live Aid, as the highest grossing charity concert in history.»[356] In recognition of her contribution to the Black Lives Matter movement, Gaga received the Yolanda Denise King High Ground Award from the King Center’s Beloved Community Awards in January 2021. In her acceptance speech, she denounced racism and white supremacy and addressed her social responsibility as a high-profile artist and white woman.[357]

Born This Way Foundation

In 2012, Gaga launched the Born This Way Foundation (BTWF), a non-profit organization that focuses on youth empowerment. It takes its name from her 2011 single and album. Media proprietor Oprah Winfrey, writer Deepak Chopra, and US Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius spoke at the foundation’s inauguration at Harvard University.[358] The foundation’s original funding included $1.2 million from Gaga, $500,000 from the MacArthur Foundation, and $850,000 from Barneys New York.[359] In July 2012, the BTWF partnered with Office Depot, which donated 25% of the sales, a minimum of $1 million of a series of limited edition back-to-school products.[360] The foundation’s initiatives have included the «Born Brave Bus» that followed her on tour as a youth drop-in center as an initiative against bullying.[361][362]

In October 2015, at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Gaga joined 200 high school students, policy makers, and academic officials, including Peter Salovey, to discuss ways to recognize and channel emotions for positive outcomes.[363] In 2016, the foundation partnered with Intel, Vox Media, and Recode to fight online harassment.[364] The sales revenue of the 99th issue of the V magazine, which featured Gaga and Kinney, was donated to the foundation.[162] Gaga and Elton John released the clothing and accessories line Love Bravery at Macy’s in May. 25% of each purchase support Gaga’s foundation and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.[365] Gaga partnered with Starbucks for a week in June 2017 with the «Cups of Kindness» campaign, where the company donated 25 cents from some of the beverages sold to the foundation.[366] She also appeared in a video by Staples Inc. to raise funds for the foundation and DonorsChoose.org.[367]

On the 2018 World Kindness Day, Gaga partnered with the foundation to bring food and relief to a Red Cross shelter for people who have been forced to evacuate homes due to the California wildfires. The foundation also partnered with Starbucks and SoulCycle to thank California firefighters for their relief work during the crisis. The singer had to previously evacuate her own home during the Woolsey Fire which spread through parts of Malibu.[368]

In March 2019, she penned a letter to supporters of the Born This Way Foundation, announcing the launch of a new pilot program for a teen mental health first aid project with the National Council for Behavioral Health. Gaga revealed her personal struggles with mental health in her letter and how she was able to get support which saved her life: «I know what it means to have someone support me and understand what I’m going through, and every young person in the world should have someone to turn to when they’re hurting. It saved my life, and it will save theirs.»[369][370] In September 2020, Gaga released an anthology book, Channel Kindness: Stories of Kindness and Community, featuring fifty-one stories about kindness, bravery, and resilience from young people all over the world collected by the Born This Way Foundation, and introduced by herself.[371] She had been promoting it with a 21 days of kindness challenge on her social media, using the «BeKind21» hashtag.[372] In 2021, Gaga collaborated with the Champagne house Dom Pérignon to release a limited edition of Rosé Vintage 2005 bottles along with a sculpture designed by her. The 110 exclusive pieces will be sold at private sales, and the profits will benefit the foundation.[373] On the 2021 World Kindness Day, Gaga released a 30-minute special, titled The Power of Kindness, as part of the foundation’s Channel Kindness program, in which together with a mental health expert and a group of eleven young people, she explored the connection between kindness and mental health.[374]

LGBT advocacy

A bisexual woman,[c] Gaga actively supports LGBT rights worldwide.[375] She attributes much of her early success as a mainstream artist to her gay fans and is considered a gay icon.[376][377] Early in her career she had difficulty getting radio airplay, and stated, «The turning point for me was the gay community.»[378] She thanked FlyLife, a Manhattan-based LGBT marketing company with whom her label Interscope works, in the liner notes of The Fame.[379] One of her first televised performances was in May 2008 at the NewNowNext Awards, an awards show aired by the LGBT television network Logo.[380]

Gaga spoke at the 2009 National Equality March in Washington, D.C. to support the LGBT rights movement.[381] She attended the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards accompanied by four gay and lesbian former members of the United States Armed Forces who had been unable to serve openly under the US military’s «don’t ask, don’t tell» policy, which banned open homosexuality in the military.[382] Gaga urged her fans via YouTube to contact their senators in an effort to overturn the policy. In September 2010, she spoke at a Servicemembers Legal Defense Network’s rally in Portland, Maine. Following this event, The Advocate named her a «fierce advocate» for gays and lesbians.[383]

Gaga appeared at Europride, an international event dedicated to LGBT pride, in Rome in June 2011. She criticized the poor state of gay rights in many European countries and described gay people as «revolutionaries of love».[384] Later that year, she was referenced by teenager Jamey Rodemeyer in the hours prior to his death, with Rodemeyer having tweeted «@ladygaga bye mother monster, thank you for all you have done, paws up forever». Rodemeyer’s suicide prompted Gaga to meet with then-President Barack Obama in order to address anti-gay bullying in American schools.[385] In 2011, she was also ordained as a minister by the Universal Life Church Monastery so that she could officiate the wedding of two female friends.[386]

In June 2016, during a vigil held in Los Angeles for victims of the attack at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Gaga read aloud the names of the 49 people killed in the attack, and gave a speech.[387] Later that month, Gaga appeared in Human Rights Campaign’s tribute video to the victims of the attack.[388] She opposed the presidency of Donald Trump and his military transgender ban.[389][390] She supported former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.[391] In 2018, a leaked memo from Trump’s office revealed that his administration wanted to change the legal definition of sex to exclude transgender Americans. Gaga was one of the many celebrities to call him out and spread the #WontBeErased campaign to her 77 million Twitter followers.[392][393] In January 2019, during one of her Enigma shows, she criticized Vice President Mike Pence for his wife Karen Pence working at an evangelical Christian school where LGBTQ people are turned away, calling him «the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian». Gaga also stated «I am a Christian woman, and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice, and everybody is welcome».[394] Gaga made a congratulatory speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and the LGBTQ+ community’s accomplishments at WorldPride NYC 2019 outside the Stonewall Inn, birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.[395]

Impact

Gaga was named the «Queen of Pop» in a 2011 ranking by Rolling Stone based on record sales and social media metrics. In 2012, she ranked fourth in VH1’s Greatest Women in Music[396][397] and became a feature of the temporary exhibition The Elevated. From the Pharaoh to Lady Gaga, which marked the 150th anniversary of the National Museum in Warsaw.[398]

Gaga has often been praised for using controversy to bring attention to various issues.[399][400] According to Frankie Graddon of The Independent, Gaga—who wore a meat dress to highlight her distaste for the US military’s «don’t ask, don’t tell» policy—influenced protest dressing on red carpet.[401] Billboard named her «the Greatest Pop Star of 2009», asserting that «to say that her one-year rise from rookie to MVP was meteoric doesn’t quite cut it, as she wasn’t just successful, but game-changing—thanks to her voracious appetite for reinvention.»[402] Because of The Fame‘s success—it was listed as one of the 100 Greatest Debut Albums of All-Time by Rolling Stone in 2013[403]—Gaga has been credited as one of the musicians that popularized synthpop in the late 2000s and early 2010s.[404]

According to Kelefa Sanneh of The New Yorker, «Lady Gaga blazed a trail for truculent pop stars by treating her own celebrity as an evolving art project.»[405] Including Born This Way as one of the 50 best female albums of all time, Rolling Stone‘s Rob Sheffield considers it «hard to remember a world where we didn’t have Gaga, although we’re pretty sure it was a lot more boring».[406] In 2015, Time also noted that Gaga had «practically invented the current era of pop music as spectacle».[407] A 2017 journal published by Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts studying structural patterns in melodies of earworm songs compiled lists of catchiest tracks from 3,000 participants, in which Gaga’s «Bad Romance», «Alejandro», and «Poker Face» ranked number one, eight, and nine, respectively.[408] In 2018, NPR named her the second most influential female artist of the 21st century, noting her as «one of the first big artists of the ‘Internet age«.[409] Gaga and her work have influenced various artists including Miley Cyrus,[410] Nicki Minaj,[411] Ellie Goulding,[412] Halsey,[413] Jennifer Lopez,[414] Beyoncé,[415] Nick Jonas,[416] Sam Smith,[417] Noah Cyrus,[418] Katherine Langford,[419] MGMT,[420] Allie X,[421] Greyson Chance,[422] Cardi B,[423] Rina Sawayama,[424] Blackpink,[425] Madison Beer,[426] Ren,[427] Slayyyter,[428] Bebe Rexha,[429] Bree Runway,[430] Celeste,[431] Kim Petras,[432] Jojo Siwa,[433] Pabllo Vittar,[434] Ava Max,[435] Doja Cat,[436] Chaeyoung of Twice,[437] Kanye West,[438] Rachel Zegler,[439] and SZA.[440]

A new genus of ferns, Gaga, and three species, G. germanotta, G. monstraparva and Kaikaia gaga, have been named in her honor. The name monstraparva alluded to Gaga’s fans, known as Little Monsters, since their symbol is the outstretched «monster claw» hand, which resembles a tightly rolled young fern leaf prior to unfurling.[441][442] Gaga also has an extinct mammal, Gagadon minimonstrum,[443] and a parasitic wasp, Aleiodes gaga, named for her.[444][445]

In Taichung, Taiwan, July 3 is designated as «Lady Gaga Day» marking the first day Gaga visited the country in 2011.[446] In May 2021, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Born This Way and its cultural impact, West Hollywood mayor, Lindsey P. Horvath, presented a key to the city to Gaga and declared May 23 as «Born This Way Day.» A street painting with the Daniel Quasar’s version of the pride flag featuring the album’s title was also unveiled on Robertson Boulevard as a tribute to the album, and how it has inspired the LGBT community over the years.[447]

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta ( STEF-ən-ee JUR-mə-NOT; born March 28, 1986), known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her image reinventions and musical versatility. Gaga began performing as a teenager, singing at open mic nights and acting in school plays. She studied at Collaborative Arts Project 21, through the New York University Tisch School of the Arts, before dropping out to pursue a career in music. After Def Jam Recordings canceled her contract, she worked as a songwriter for Sony/ATV Music Publishing, where she signed a joint deal with Interscope Records and KonLive Distribution, in 2007. Gaga had her breakthrough the following year with her debut studio album, The Fame, and its chart-topping singles «Just Dance» and «Poker Face». The album was later reissued to include the extended play The Fame Monster (2009), which yielded the successful singles «Bad Romance», «Telephone», and «Alejandro».

Gaga’s five succeeding studio albums all debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her second full-length album, Born This Way (2011), explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold more than one million copies in its first week. The title track became the fastest-selling song on the iTunes Store, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Following her EDM-influenced third album, Artpop (2013), and its lead single «Applause», Gaga released the jazz album Cheek to Cheek (2014) with Tony Bennett, and the soft rock album Joanne (2016). She ventured into acting, winning awards for her leading roles in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016) and the musical film A Star Is Born (2018). Her contributions to the latter’s soundtrack, which spawned the chart-topping single «Shallow», made her the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award, and Grammy Award in one year. Gaga returned to dance-pop with her sixth studio album, Chromatica (2020), which yielded the number-one single «Rain on Me». She followed this with her second collaborative album with Bennett, Love for Sale, and a starring role in the biopic House of Gucci, both in 2021.

Having sold an estimated 170 million records, Gaga is one of the world’s best-selling music artists and the only female artist to achieve four singles that each sold at least 10 million copies globally. Her accolades include 13 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, 18 MTV Video Music Awards, awards from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and recognition as Billboard‘s Artist of the Year (2010) and Woman of the Year (2015). She has also been included in several Forbes power rankings and ranked fourth on VH1’s Greatest Women in Music (2012). Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010 and 2019 and placed her on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list. Her philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBT rights; she has her own non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation, which supports the wellness of young people. Gaga’s business ventures include Haus Labs, a vegan cosmetics brand launched in 2019.

Life and career

1986–2004: Early life

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986, at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, New York City,[1] to an upper middle class Catholic family. Both of her parents have Italian ancestry.[2] Her parents are Cynthia Louise (née Bissett), a philanthropist and business executive, and Internet entrepreneur Joseph Germanotta,[3] and she has a younger sister named Natali.[4] Brought up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Gaga said in an interview that her parents came from lower-class families and worked hard for everything.[5][6] From age 11, she attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private all-girls Roman Catholic school.[7] Gaga has described her high-school self as «very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined» but also «a bit insecure». She considered herself a misfit and was mocked for «being either too provocative or too eccentric».[8]

Gaga began playing the piano at age four when her mother insisted she become «a cultured young woman». She took piano lessons and practiced through her childhood. The lessons taught her to create music by ear, which she preferred over reading sheet music. Her parents encouraged her to pursue music and enrolled her in Creative Arts Camp.[9] As a teenager, she played at open mic nights.[10] Gaga played the lead roles of Adelaide in the play Guys and Dolls and Philia in the play A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at Regis High School.[11] She also studied method acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute for ten years.[12] Gaga unsuccessfully auditioned for New York shows, though she did appear in a small role as a high-school student in a 2001 episode of The Sopranos titled «The Telltale Moozadell».[13][14] She later said of her inclination towards music:

I don’t know exactly where my affinity for music comes from, but it is the thing that comes easiest to me. When I was like three years old, I may have been even younger, my mom always tells this really embarrassing story of me propping myself up and playing the keys like this because I was too young and short to get all the way up there. Just go like this on the low end of the piano … I was really, really good at piano, so my first instincts were to work so hard at practicing piano, and I might not have been a natural dancer, but I am a natural musician. That is the thing that I believe I am the greatest at.[15]

In 2003, at age 17, Gaga gained early admission to Collaborative Arts Project 21, a music school at New York University (NYU)’s Tisch School of the Arts, and lived in an NYU dorm. She studied music there, and improved her songwriting skills by writing essays on art, religion, social issues and politics, including a thesis on pop artists Spencer Tunick and Damien Hirst.[16][17] In 2005, she withdrew from school during the second semester of her second year to focus on her music career.[18] That year, she also played an unsuspecting diner customer for MTV’s Boiling Points, a prank reality television show.[19]

In a 2014 interview, Gaga said she had been raped at age 19, for which she later underwent mental and physical therapy.[20] She has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which she attributes to the incident, and credits support from doctors, family and friends with helping her.[21] Gaga later gave additional details about the rape, including that «the person who raped me dropped me off pregnant on a corner at my parents’ house because I was vomiting and sick. Because I’d been being abused. I was locked away in a studio for months.»[22]

2005–2007: Career beginnings

In 2005, Gaga recorded two songs with hip-hop artist Melle Mel for an audio book accompanying Cricket Casey’s children’s novel The Portal in the Park.[23] She also formed a band called the SGBand with some friends from NYU.[11][24] They played gigs around New York and became a fixture of the downtown Lower East Side club scene.[11] After the 2006 Songwriters Hall of Fame New Songwriters Showcase at the Cutting Room in June, talent scout Wendy Starland recommended her to music producer Rob Fusari.[25] Fusari collaborated with Gaga, who traveled daily to New Jersey, helping to develop her songs and compose new material.[26] The producer said they began dating in May 2006, and claimed to have been the first person to call her «Lady Gaga», which was derived from Queen’s song «Radio Ga Ga».[27] Their relationship lasted until January 2007.[28]

Fusari and Gaga established a company called «Team Lovechild, LLC» to promote her career.[27] They recorded and produced electropop tracks, sending them to music industry executives. Joshua Sarubin, the head of Artists and repertoire (A&R) at Def Jam Recordings, responded positively and, after approval from Sarubin’s boss Antonio «L.A.» Reid, Gaga was signed to Def Jam in September 2006.[29][30] She was dropped from the label three months later[31] and returned to her family home for Christmas. Gaga began performing at neo-burlesque shows, which according to her represented freedom.[32] During this time, she met performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped mold her onstage persona.[33] The pair began performing at downtown club venues like the Mercury Lounge, the Bitter End, and the Rockwood Music Hall. Their live performance art piece, known as «Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue» and billed as «The Ultimate Pop Burlesque Rockshow», was a tribute to 1970s variety acts.[34][35] They performed at the 2007 Lollapalooza music festival.[34]

Having initially focused on avant-garde electronic dance music, Gaga began to incorporate pop melodies and the glam rock style of David Bowie and Queen into her songs. While Gaga and Starlight were performing, Fusari continued to develop the songs he had created with her, sending them to the producer and record executive Vincent Herbert.[36] In November 2007, Herbert signed Gaga to his label Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records, established that month.[37] Gaga later credited Herbert as the man who discovered her.[38] Having served as an apprentice songwriter during an internship at Famous Music Publishing, Gaga struck a music publishing deal with Sony/ATV. As a result, she was hired to write songs for Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block, Fergie, and the Pussycat Dolls.[39] At Interscope, musician Akon was impressed with her singing abilities when she sang a reference vocal for one of his tracks in studio.[40] Akon convinced Jimmy Iovine, chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records (a brother company for Def Jam), to form a joint deal by having Gaga also sign with his own label KonLive, making her his «franchise player».[31][41]

In late 2007, Gaga met with songwriter and producer RedOne.[42] She collaborated with him in the recording studio for a week on her debut album, signing with Cherrytree Records, an Interscope imprint established by producer and songwriter Martin Kierszenbaum; she also wrote four songs with Kierszenbaum.[39] Despite securing a record deal, she said that some radio stations found her music too «racy», «dance-oriented», and «underground» for the mainstream market, to which she replied: «My name is Lady Gaga, I’ve been on the music scene for years, and I’m telling you, this is what’s next.»[7]

2008–2010: Breakthrough with The Fame and The Fame Monster

By 2008, Gaga had relocated to Los Angeles to work extensively with her record label to complete her debut album, The Fame, and to set up her own creative team called the Haus of Gaga, modeled on Andy Warhol’s The Factory.[43][44] The Fame was released on August 19, 2008,[45] and reached number one in Austria, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland and the UK, as well as the top five in Australia and the US.[46][47] Its first two singles, «Just Dance» and «Poker Face»,[48] reached number one in the United States,[49] Australia,[50] Canada[51] and the UK.[52] The latter was also the world’s best-selling single of 2009, with 9.8 million copies sold that year, and spent a record 83 weeks on Billboard magazine’s Digital Songs chart.[53][54] Three other singles, «Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)», «LoveGame» and «Paparazzi», were released from the album;[55] the lattermost reached number one in Germany.[56] Remixed versions of the singles from The Fame, except «Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)», were included on Hitmixes in August 2009.[57] At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, The Fame and «Poker Face» won Best Dance/Electronica Album and Best Dance Recording, respectively.[58]

Following her opening act on the Pussycat Dolls’ 2009 Doll Domination Tour in Europe and Oceania, Gaga headlined her worldwide The Fame Ball Tour, which ran from March to September 2009.[60] While traveling the globe, she wrote eight songs for The Fame Monster, a reissue of The Fame.[61] Those new songs were also released as a standalone EP on November 18, 2009.[62] Its first single, «Bad Romance», was released one month earlier[63] and went number one in Canada[51] and the UK,[52] and number two in the US,[49] Australia[64] and New Zealand.[65] «Telephone», with Beyoncé, followed as the second single from the EP and became Gaga’s fourth UK number one.[66][67] Its third single was «Alejandro»,[68] which reached number one in Finland[69] and attracted controversy when its music video was deemed blasphemous by the Catholic League.[70] Both tracks reached the top five in the US.[49] The video for «Bad Romance» became the most watched on YouTube in April 2010, and that October, Gaga became the first person with more than one billion combined views.[71][72] At the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, she won eight awards from 13 nominations, including Video of the Year for «Bad Romance».[73] She was the most nominated artist for a single year, and the first woman to receive two nominations for Video of the Year at the same ceremony.[74] The Fame Monster won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and «Bad Romance» won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Short Form Music Video at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.[75]

In 2009, Gaga spent a record 150 weeks on the UK Singles Chart and became the most downloaded female act in a year in the US, with 11.1 million downloads sold, earning an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.[76][77] Worldwide, The Fame and The Fame Monster together have sold more than 15 million copies, and the latter was 2010’s second best-selling album.[78][79][80] Its success allowed Gaga to start her second worldwide concert tour, The Monster Ball Tour, and release The Remix, her final record with Cherrytree Records[81] and among the best-selling remix albums of all time.[82][83] The Monster Ball Tour ran from November 2009 to May 2011 and grossed $227.4 million, making it the highest-grossing concert tour for a debut headlining artist.[59][84] Concerts performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City were filmed for an HBO television special, Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden.[85] Gaga also performed songs from her albums at the 2009 Royal Variety Performance, the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, and the 2010 Brit Awards.[86] Before Michael Jackson’s death, Gaga was set to take part in his canceled This Is It concert series at the O2 Arena in the UK.[87]

During this era, Gaga ventured into business, collaborating with consumer electronics company Monster Cable Products to create in-ear, jewel-encrusted headphones called Heartbeats by Lady Gaga.[88] She also partnered with Polaroid in January 2010 as their creative director and announced a suite of photo-capture products called Grey Label.[89][90] Her collaboration with her past record producer and ex-boyfriend Rob Fusari led to a lawsuit against her production team, Mermaid Music LLC.[a] At this time, Gaga was tested borderline positive for lupus, but claimed not to be affected by the symptoms and hoped to maintain a healthy lifestyle.[93][94]

2011–2014: Born This Way, Artpop, and Cheek to Cheek

In February 2011, Gaga released «Born This Way», the lead single from her studio album of the same name. The song sold more than one million copies within five days, earning the Guinness World Record for the fastest selling single on iTunes.[95] It debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the 1,000th number-one single in the history of the charts.[96] Its second single «Judas» followed two months later,[97] and «The Edge of Glory» served as its third single.[98] Both reached the top 10 in the US and the UK.[49][52] Her music video for «The Edge of Glory», unlike her previous work, portrays her dancing on a fire escape and walking on a lonely street, without intricate choreography and back-up dancers.[99]

Born This Way was released on May 23, 2011,[97] and debuted atop the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 1.1 million copies.[100] The album sold eight million copies worldwide and received three Grammy nominations, including Gaga’s third consecutive nomination for Album of the Year.[101][102] Rolling Stone listed it among «The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time» in 2020.[103] Born This Ways following singles were «You and I» and «Marry the Night»,[104] which reached numbers six and 29 in the US, respectively.[49] While filming the former’s music video, Gaga met and started dating actor Taylor Kinney in July 2011, who played her love interest.[105][106] She also embarked on the Born This Way Ball tour in April 2012, which was scheduled to conclude the following March, but ended one month earlier when Gaga canceled the remaining dates due to a labral tear of her right hip that required surgery.[107] While refunds for the cancellations were estimated to be worth $25 million,[108] the tour grossed $183.9 million globally.[109]

In 2011, Gaga also worked with Tony Bennett on a jazz version of «The Lady Is a Tramp»,[110] with Elton John on «Hello Hello» for the animated feature film Gnomeo & Juliet,[111] and with The Lonely Island and Justin Timberlake on «3-Way (The Golden Rule)».[112] She also performed a concert at the Sydney Town Hall in Australia that year to promote Born This Way and to celebrate former US President Bill Clinton’s 65th birthday.[113] In November, she was featured in a Thanksgiving television special titled A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, which attracted 5.7 million American viewers and spawned the release of her fourth EP, A Very Gaga Holiday.[114] In 2012, Gaga guest-starred as an animated version of herself in an episode of The Simpsons called «Lisa Goes Gaga»,[115] and released her first fragrance, Lady Gaga Fame, followed by a second one, Eau de Gaga, in 2014.[b]

Gaga began work on her third studio album, Artpop, in early 2012, during the Born This Way Ball tour; she crafted the album to mirror «a night at the club».[118][119][120] In August 2013, Gaga released the album’s lead single «Applause»,[121] which reached number one in Hungary, number four in the US, and number five in the UK.[52][49][122] A lyric video for Artpop track «Aura» followed in October to accompany Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills, where she plays an assassin named La Chameleon.[123] The film received generally mixed reviews and earned less than half of its $33 million budget.[124][125] The second Artpop single, «Do What U Want», featured singer R. Kelly and was released later that month,[126] topping the charts in Hungary and reaching number 13 in the US.[49][127] Artpop was released on November 6, 2013, to mixed reviews.[128] Helen Brown in The Daily Telegraph criticized Gaga for making another album about her fame and doubted the record’s originality, but found it «great for dancing».[129] The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart, and sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide as of July 2014.[130][131] «G.U.Y.» was released as the third single in March 2014 and peaked at number 76 in the US.[49][132]

Gaga hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in November 2013.[134] After holding her second Thanksgiving Day television special on ABC, Lady Gaga and the Muppets Holiday Spectacular, she performed a special rendition of «Do What U Want» with Christina Aguilera on the fifth season of the American reality talent show The Voice.[135][136] In March 2014, Gaga had a seven-day concert residency commemorating the last performance at New York’s Roseland Ballroom before its closure.[137] Two months later, she embarked on the ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour, building on concepts from her ArtRave promotional event. Earning $83 million, the tour included cities canceled from the Born This Way Ball tour itinerary.[138] In the meantime, Gaga split from longtime manager Troy Carter over «creative differences»,[139] and by June 2014, she and new manager Bobby Campbell joined Artist Nation, the artist management division of Live Nation Entertainment.[140] She briefly appeared in Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and was confirmed as Versace’s spring-summer 2014 ambassador with a campaign called «Lady Gaga For Versace».[141][142]

In September 2014, Gaga released a collaborative jazz album with Tony Bennett titled Cheek to Cheek. The inspiration behind the album came from her friendship with Bennett, and fascination with jazz music since her childhood.[143] Before the album was released, it produced the singles «Anything Goes» and «I Can’t Give You Anything but Love».[144] Cheek to Cheek received generally favorable reviews;[145] The Guardians Caroline Sullivan praised Gaga’s vocals and Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune wrote that «Cheek to Cheek serves up the real thing, start to finish».[146][147] The record was Gaga’s third consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200,[148] and won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.[149] The duo recorded the concert special Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live!,[150] and embarked on the Cheek to Cheek Tour from December 2014 to August 2015.[151]

2015–2017: American Horror Story, Joanne, and Super Bowl performances

In February 2015, Gaga became engaged to Taylor Kinney.[152] After the lukewarm response to Artpop, Gaga began to reinvent her image and style. According to Billboard, this shift started with the release of Cheek to Cheek and the attention she received for her performance at the 87th Academy Awards, where she sang a medley of songs from The Sound of Music in a tribute to Julie Andrews.[133] Considered one of her best performances by Billboard, it triggered more than 214,000 interactions per minute globally on Facebook.[153][154] She and Diane Warren co-wrote the song «Til It Happens to You» for the documentary The Hunting Ground, which earned them the Satellite Award for Best Original Song and an Academy Award nomination in the same category.[155] Gaga won Billboard Woman of the Year and Contemporary Icon Award at the 2015 Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards.[156][157]

Gaga had spent much of her early life wanting to be an actress, and achieved her goal when she starred in American Horror Story: Hotel.[158] Running from October 2015 to January 2016, Hotel is the fifth season of the television anthology horror series, American Horror Story, in which Gaga played a hotel owner named Elizabeth.[159][160] At the 73rd Golden Globe Awards, Gaga received the Best Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film award for her work on the season.[158] She appeared in Nick Knight’s 2015 fashion film for Tom Ford’s 2016 spring campaign[161] and was guest editor for V fashion magazine’s 99th issue in January 2016, which featured 16 different covers.[162] She received Editor of the Year award at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards.[163]

In February 2016, Gaga sang the US national anthem at Super Bowl 50,[164] partnered with Intel and Nile Rodgers for a tribute performance to the late David Bowie at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards,[165] and sang «Til It Happens to You» at the 88th Academy Awards, where she was introduced by Joe Biden and was accompanied on-stage by 50 people who had suffered from sexual assault.[166] She was honored that April with the Artist Award at the Jane Ortner Education Awards by The Grammy Museum, which recognizes artists who have demonstrated passion and dedication to education through the arts.[167] Her engagement to Taylor Kinney ended in July; she later said her career had interfered with their relationship.[168]

Gaga played a witch named Scathach in American Horror Story: Roanoke, the series’ sixth season,[169] which ran from September to November 2016.[170][171] Her role in the fifth season of the show ultimately influenced her future music, prompting her to feature «the art of darkness».[172] In September 2016, she released her fifth album’s lead single, «Perfect Illusion», which topped the charts in France and reached number 15 in the US.[173][174][175] The album, titled Joanne, was named after Gaga’s late aunt, who was an inspiration for the music.[176] It was released on October 21, 2016, and became Gaga’s fourth number one album on the Billboard 200, making her the first woman to reach the US chart’s summit four times in the 2010s.[177] The album’s second single, «Million Reasons», followed the next month and reached number four in the US.[175][178] She later released a piano version of the album’s title track in 2018,[179] which won a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance.[180] To promote the album, Gaga embarked on the three-date Dive Bar Tour.[181]

Gaga performed as the headlining act during the Super Bowl LI halftime show on February 5, 2017. Her performance featured a group of hundreds of lighted drones forming various shapes in the sky above Houston’s NRG Stadium—the first time robotic aircraft appeared in a Super Bowl program.[182] It attracted 117.5 million viewers in the United States, exceeding the game’s 111.3 million viewers and making it the second most-watched Super Bowl halftime show to date.[183] The performance led to a surge of 410,000 song downloads in the United States for Gaga and earned her an Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Special Class Program category.[184][185] CBS Sports included her performance as the second best in the history of Super Bowl halftime shows.[186] In April, Gaga headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[187] She also released a standalone-single, «The Cure», which reached the top 10 in Australia.[188][189] In August, Gaga began the Joanne World Tour, which she announced after the Super Bowl LI halftime show.[190] Gaga’s creation of Joanne and preparation for her halftime show performance were featured in the documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, which premiered on Netflix that September.[191] Throughout the film, she was seen suffering from chronic pain, which was later revealed to be the effect of a long-term condition called fibromyalgia.[192] In February 2018, it prompted Gaga to cancel the last ten shows of the Joanne World Tour, which ultimately grossed $95 million from 842,000 tickets sold.[193][194]

In March 2018, Gaga supported the March for Our Lives gun-control rally in Washington, D.C.,[196] and released a cover of Elton John’s «Your Song» for his tribute album Revamp.[197] Later that year, she starred as struggling singer Ally in Bradley Cooper’s musical romantic drama A Star Is Born, a remake of the 1937 film of the same name. The film follows Ally’s relationship with singer Jackson Maine (played by Cooper), which becomes strained after her career begins to overshadow his. It received acclaim from critics, with a consensus that the movie had «appealing leads, deft direction, and an affecting love story».[198] Cooper approached Gaga after seeing her perform at a cancer research fundraiser. An admirer of Cooper’s work, Gaga agreed to the project due to its portrayal of addiction and depression.[199][200] A Star Is Born premiered at the 2018 Venice Film Festival, and was released worldwide that October.[201] Gaga’s performance was acclaimed by film critics, with Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian labeling the film «outrageously watchable» and stating that «Gaga’s ability to be part ordinary person, part extraterrestrial celebrity empress functions at the highest level»;[202] Stephanie Zacharek of Time magazine similarly highlighted her «knockout performance» and found her to be «charismatic» without her usual makeup, wigs and costumes.[203] For the role, Gaga won the National Board of Review and Critics’ Choice awards for Best Actress, in addition to receiving nominations for the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actress.[204]

Gaga and Cooper co-wrote and produced most of the songs on the soundtrack for A Star Is Born, which she insisted they perform live in the film.[205] Its lead single, «Shallow», performed by the two, was released on September 27, 2018[206] and topped the charts in various countries including Australia, the UK and the US.[207] The soundtrack contains 34 tracks, including 17 original songs, and received generally positive reviews;[208] Mark Kennedy of The Washington Post called it a «five-star marvel» and Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian termed it an «instant classics full of Gaga’s emotional might».[209][210] Commercially, the soundtrack debuted at number one in the US, making Gaga the first woman with five US number-one albums in the 2010s, and breaking her tie with Taylor Swift as the most for any female artist this decade;[211] Swift tied with her again in 2019.[212] It additionally topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland and the UK.[213] As of June 2019, the soundtrack had sold over six million copies worldwide.[214] The album won Gaga four Grammy Awards—Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media for «Shallow», as well as the latter category for «I’ll Never Love Again»—and a BAFTA Award for Best Film Music.[180][215][216] «Shallow» also won her the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and Critics’ Choice Award for Best Original Song.[204]

In October, Gaga announced her engagement to talent agent Christian Carino whom she had met in early 2017.[217] They ended the engagement in February 2019.[218] Gaga signed a concert residency, named Lady Gaga Enigma + Jazz & Piano, to perform at the MGM Park Theater in Las Vegas.[219] The residency consists of two types of shows: Enigma, which focused on theatricality and included Gaga’s biggest hits,[220] and Jazz & Piano, which involved tracks from the Great American Songbook and stripped-down versions of Gaga’s songs. The Enigma show opened in December 2018 and the Jazz & Piano in January 2019.[221] Gaga launched her vegan makeup line, Haus Laboratories, in September 2019 exclusively on Amazon. Consisting of 40 products, including liquid eyeliners, lip glosses and face mask sticker, it reached number-one on Amazon’s list of best-selling lipsticks.[222]

2020–present: Chromatica, Love for Sale, and House of Gucci

In February 2020, Gaga began a relationship with entrepreneur Michael Polansky.[223] Her sixth studio album, Chromatica, was released on May 29, 2020, to positive reviews.[224][225] It debuted atop the US charts, becoming her sixth consecutive number-one album in the country, and reached the top spot in more than a dozen other territories including Australia, Canada, France, Italy and the UK.[226] Chromatica was preceded by two singles, «Stupid Love», on February 28, 2020,[227] and «Rain on Me», with Ariana Grande, on May 22.[228] The latter won the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, and debuted at number one in the US, making Gaga the third person to top the country’s chart in the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.[229][230] At the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, Gaga won five awards, including the inaugural Tricon Award recognizing artists accomplished in different areas of the entertainment industry.[231] In September 2020, she appeared in the video campaign for Valentino’s Voce Viva fragrance, singing a stripped-down version of Chromatica track «Sine from Above», along with a group of models.[232]

During the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States on January 20, 2021, Gaga sang the US national anthem.[234] In February 2021, her dog walker Ryan Fischer was hospitalized after getting shot in Hollywood. Two of her French Bulldogs, Koji and Gustav, were taken while a third dog named Miss Asia escaped and was subsequently recovered by police. Gaga later offered a $500,000 reward for the return of her pets.[235][236] Two days later, on February 26, a woman brought the dogs to a police station in Los Angeles. Both were unharmed. Los Angeles Police initially said the woman who dropped off the dogs did not appear to be involved with the shooting,[237] but on April 29, she was one of five people charged in connection with the shooting and theft.[238] In December 2022, James Howard Jackson, the man who shot Fischer, was sentenced to 21 years in prison.[239]

In April 2021, Gaga teamed up with Champagne brand Dom Pérignon, and appeared in an ad shot by Nick Knight.[240] On September 3, she released her third remix album, Dawn of Chromatica.[241] This was followed by her second collaborative album with Tony Bennett, titled Love for Sale, on September 30.[242] The record received generally favorable reviews, and debuted at number eight in the US.[243][244] The album’s promotional rollout included the television special One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, released in November 2021, on CBS, which featured select performances from the duo’s August 3 and 5 performances at Radio City Music Hall.[245][246] Another taped performance by the duo recorded for MTV Unplugged was released that December.[247] At the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, Love for Sale won Gaga and Bennett the award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.[248]

After an appearance in the television special Friends: The Reunion, in which Gaga sang «Smelly Cat» with Lisa Kudrow,[249] she portrayed Patrizia Reggiani, who was convicted of hiring a hitman to murder her ex-husband and former head of the Gucci fashion house Maurizio Gucci (played by Adam Driver), in Ridley Scott’s biographical crime film titled House of Gucci.[250][251] For the part, Gaga learned to speak with an Italian accent. She also stayed in character for 18 months, speaking with an accent for nine months during that period.[252] Her method acting approach took a toll on her mental wellbeing, and towards the end of filming she had to be accompanied on-set by a psychiatric nurse.[253] The film was released on November 24, 2021, to mixed reviews, though critics praised Gaga’s performance as «note-perfect».[254] She earned the New York Film Critics Circle Award, and nominations for the BAFTA Award, Critics’ Choice Award, Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress.[255] Gaga wrote the song «Hold My Hand» for the 2022 film Top Gun: Maverick,[256] and also composed the score alongside Hans Zimmer and Harold Faltermeyer.[257] In July 2022, she embarked on The Chromatica Ball stadium tour,[258] which had twenty dates and grossed $112.4 million from 834,000 tickets sold.[233] By the end of the year, she became the highest grossing female artist of 2022.[259] Gaga is set to star with Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie à Deux, which will be released in 2024.[260]

Influences

Gaga grew up listening to artists such as Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Christina Aguilera and Blondie,[261][262][263] who have all influenced her music.[264][265] Gaga’s musical inspiration varies from dance-pop singers such as Madonna and Michael Jackson to glam rock artists such as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, as well as the theatrics of the pop artist Andy Warhol and her own performance roots in musical theater.[31][266] She has been compared to Madonna, who has said that she sees herself reflected in Gaga.[267] Gaga says that she wants to revolutionize pop music as Madonna has.[268] Gaga has also cited heavy metal bands as an influence, specifically Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Marilyn Manson.[269][270][271][272] She credits Beyoncé as a key inspiration to pursue a musical career.[273]

Gaga was inspired by her mother to be interested in fashion, which she now says is a major influence and integrated with her music.[18][274] Stylistically, Gaga has been compared to Leigh Bowery, Isabella Blow, and Cher;[275][276] she once commented that as a child, she absorbed Cher’s fashion sense and made it her own.[276] Gaga became friends with British fashion designer Alexander McQueen shortly before his suicide in 2010, and became known for wearing his designs, particularly his towering armadillo shoes.[93][277] She considers fashion designer Donatella Versace her muse; Versace has called Lady Gaga «the fresh Donatella».[278][279] Gaga has also been influenced by Princess Diana, whom she has admired since her childhood.[280]

Gaga has called the Indian alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra a «true inspiration»,[281] and has also quoted Indian leader Osho’s book Creativity on Twitter. Gaga says she was influenced by Osho’s work in valuing rebellion through creativity and equality.[282]

Musical style and themes

Critics have analyzed and scrutinized Gaga’s musical and performance style, as she has experimented with new ideas and images throughout her career. She says the continual reinvention is «liberating» herself, which she has been drawn to since childhood.[283] Gaga combines a variety of music genres, particularly incorporating elements of rock into her pop and dance music. She has also branched out into jazz and other non-pop musical genres.[284] Gaga is a contralto, with a range spanning from B2 to B5.[285][286][287] She has changed her vocal style regularly, and considers Born This Way «much more vocally up to par with what I’ve always been capable of».[288][289] In summing up her voice, Entertainment Weekly wrote: «There’s an immense emotional intelligence behind the way she uses her voice. Almost never does she overwhelm a song with her vocal ability, recognizing instead that artistry is to be found in nuance rather than lung power.»[290]

According to Evan Sawdey of PopMatters, Gaga «manage[s] to get you moving and grooving at an almost effortless pace».[291] Gaga believes that «all good music can be played on a piano and still sound like a hit».[292] Simon Reynolds wrote in 2010, «Everything about Gaga came from electroclash, except the music, which wasn’t particularly 1980s, just ruthlessly catchy naughties pop glazed with Auto-Tune and undergirded with R&B-ish beats.»[293]

Gaga’s songs have covered a wide variety of concepts; The Fame discusses the lust for stardom, while the follow-up The Fame Monster expresses fame’s dark side through monster metaphors. The Fame is an electropop and dance-pop album that has influences of 1980s pop and 1990s Europop,[294] whereas The Fame Monster displays Gaga’s taste for pastiche, drawing on «Seventies arena glam, perky ABBA disco, and sugary throwbacks like Stacey Q».[295] Born This Way has lyrics in English, French, German, and Spanish and features themes common to Gaga’s controversial songwriting such as sex, love, religion, money, drugs, identity, liberation, sexuality, freedom, and individualism.[296] The album explores new genres, such as electronic rock and techno.[297]

The themes in Artpop revolve around Gaga’s personal views of fame, love, sex, feminism, self-empowerment, overcoming addiction, and reactions to media scrutiny.[298] Billboard describes Artpop as «coherently channeling R&B, techno, disco and rock music».[299] With Cheek to Cheek, Gaga dabbled in the jazz genre.[300] Joanne, exploring the genres of country, funk, pop, dance, rock, electronic music and folk, was influenced by her personal life.[301] The A Star Is Born soundtrack contains elements of blues rock, country and bubblegum pop.[209] Billboard says its lyrics are about wanting change, its struggle, love, romance, and bonding, describing the music as «timeless, emotional, gritty and earnest. They sound like songs written by artists who, quite frankly, are supremely messed up but hit to the core of the listener.»[302] On Chromatica, Gaga returned to her dance-pop roots, and discussed her struggles with mental health.[303] Her second album with Tony Bennett, Love for Sale, consists of a tribute to Cole Porter.[304]

Videos and stage

Featuring constant costume changes and provocative visuals, Gaga’s music videos are often described as short films.[305] The video for «Telephone» earned Gaga the Guinness World Record for Most Product Placement in a Video.[306] According to author Curtis Fogel, she explores bondage and sadomasochism and highlights prevalent feminist themes. The main themes of her music videos are sex, violence, and power. She calls herself «a little bit of a feminist» and asserts that she is «sexually empowering women».[307] Billboard ranked her sixth on its list of «The 100 Greatest Music Video Artists of All Time» in 2020, stating that «the name ‘Lady Gaga’ will forever be synonymous with culture-shifting music videos».[308]

Regarded as «one of the greatest living musical performers» by Rolling Stone,[309] Gaga has called herself a perfectionist when it comes to her elaborate shows.[310] Her performances have been described as «highly entertaining and innovative»;[311] the blood-spurting performance of «Paparazzi» at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards was described as «eye-popping» by MTV News.[312] She continued the blood-soaked theme during The Monster Ball Tour, causing protests in England from family groups and fans in the aftermath of the Cumbria shootings, in which a taxi driver had killed 12 people, then himself.[313] At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, Gaga appeared in drag as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone, and delivered a lovesick monologue before a performance of her song «You and I».[314] As Gaga’s choreographer and creative director, Laurieann Gibson provided material for her shows and videos for four years before she was replaced by her assistant Richard Jackson in 2014.[315]

In an October 2018 article for Billboard, Rebecca Schiller traced back Gaga’s videography from «Just Dance» to the release of A Star Is Born. Schiller noted that following the Artpop era, Gaga’s stripped-down approach to music was reflected in the clips for the singles from Joanne, taking the example of the music video of lead single «Perfect Illusion» where she eschewed «the elaborate outfits for shorts and a tee-shirt as she performed the song at a desert party». It continued with her performances in the film as well as her stage persona.[316] Reviewing The Chromatica Ball in 2022, Chris Willman of Variety wrote that Gaga «could have further played the authenticity card for all it’s worth» after the release of Joanne and A Star Is Born, but instead «has determined to keep herself weird — or just weird enough to provide necessarily ballast to her more earnest inclinations».[317]

Public image

In 2010, eight wax figures of Gaga were installed at the museum Madame Tussauds.[318]

Public reception of her music, fashion sense, and persona is polarized. Because of her influence on modern culture, and her rise to global fame, sociologist Mathieu Deflem of the University of South Carolina has offered a course titled «Lady Gaga and the Sociology of the Fame» since early 2011 with the objective of unraveling «some of the sociologically relevant dimensions of the fame of Lady Gaga».[319] When Gaga met briefly with then-president Barack Obama at a Human Rights Campaign fundraiser, he found the interaction «intimidating» as she was dressed in 16-inch heels, making her the tallest woman in the room.[320] When interviewed by Barbara Walters for her annual ABC News special 10 Most Fascinating People in 2009, Gaga dismissed the claim that she is intersex as an urban legend. Responding to a question on this issue, she expressed her fondness for androgyny.[321]

Gaga’s outlandish fashion sense has also served as an important aspect of her character.[275][278] During her early career, members of the media compared her fashion choices to those of Christina Aguilera.[278] In 2011, 121 women gathered at the Grammy Awards dressed in costumes similar to those worn by Gaga, earning the 2011 Guinness World Record for Largest Gathering of Lady Gaga Impersonators.[95] The Global Language Monitor named «Lady Gaga» as the Top Fashion Buzzword with her trademark «no pants» a close third.[322] Entertainment Weekly put her outfits on its end of the decade «best-of» list, saying that she «brought performance art into the mainstream».[323] People ranked her number one on their «Best Dressed Stars of 2021» list, writing that Gaga «strutted the streets in high-fashion designs, from a sculptural seersucker number to a black lace corseted gown—accessorizing each with elegant updos, sky-high heels and retro shades—like it was no sweat.»[324]

Time placed Gaga on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list, stating: «Lady Gaga is just as notorious for her outrageous style as she is for her pop hits … [Gaga] has sported outfits made from plastic bubbles, Kermit the Frog dolls, and raw meat.»[325] Gaga wore a dress made of raw beef to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, which was supplemented by boots, a purse, and a hat also made out of raw beef.[326] Partly awarded in recognition of the dress, Vogue named her one of the Best Dressed people of 2010 and Time named the dress the Fashion Statement of the year.[327][328] It attracted the attention of worldwide media; the animal rights organization PETA found it offensive.[329] The meat dress was displayed at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in 2012,[330] and entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in September 2015.[331]

Gaga’s fans call her «Mother Monster», and she often refers to them as «Little Monsters», a phrase she had tattooed on herself in dedication.[332] In his article «Lady Gaga Pioneered Online Fandom Culture As We Know It» for Vice, Jake Hall wrote that Gaga inspired several subsequent fan-brandings, such as those of Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Justin Bieber.[333] In July 2012, Gaga also co-founded the social networking service LittleMonsters.com, devoted to her fans.[334] Scott Hardy, CEO of Polaroid, praised Gaga for inspiring fans and for her close interactions with them on social media.[335]

Censorship

In 2011, the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China acting on behalf of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, banned Gaga for «being vulgar.»[336] The ban was lifted in 2014. However, conditions for Artpop to go on sale legally in China were placed on the album artwork, covering her almost naked body. Officials also changed the title of the song «Sexxx Dreams» to «X Dreams.»[337]

In 2016, Gaga was banned in China again after she publicly talked with the Dalai Lama.[338][339] The Chinese government added Gaga to a list of hostile foreign forces, and Chinese websites and media organizations were ordered to stop distributing her songs. The Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party also issued an order for state-controlled media to condemn this meeting.[340] In the following years, Gaga’s image was blacked out in reporting of the 91st Academy Awards in China and her appearance was cut from Friends: The Reunion; both incidents received backlash from her Chinese fans.[341][342]

Activism

Philanthropy

After declining an invitation to appear on the single «We Are the World 25 for Haiti», because of rehearsals for her tour, to benefit victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Gaga donated the proceeds of her January 2010 Radio City Music Hall concert to the country’s reconstruction relief fund.[343] All profits from her online store that day were also donated, and Gaga announced that $500,000 was collected for the fund.[344] Hours after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, Gaga tweeted a link to Japan Prayer Bracelets. All revenue from a bracelet she designed in conjunction with the company was donated to relief efforts;[345] these raised $1.5 million.[346] In June 2011, Gaga performed at MTV Japan’s charity show in Makuhari Messe, which benefited the Japanese Red Cross.[347]

In 2012, Gaga joined the campaign group Artists Against Fracking.[348] That October, Yoko Ono gave Gaga and four other activists the LennonOno Grant for Peace in Reykjavík, Iceland.[349] The following month, Gaga pledged to donate $1 million to the American Red Cross to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Gaga also contributes in the fight against HIV and AIDS, focusing on educating young women about the risks of the disease. In collaboration with Cyndi Lauper, Gaga joined forces with MAC Cosmetics to launch a line of lipstick under their supplementary cosmetic line, Viva Glam.[350] Sales have raised more than $202 million to fight HIV and AIDS.[351]

In April 2016, Gaga joined Vice President Joe Biden at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to support Biden’s It’s On Us campaign as he traveled to colleges on behalf of the organization, which has seen 250,000 students from more than 530 colleges sign a pledge of solidarity and activism.[352] Two months later, Gaga attended the 84th Annual US Conference of Mayors in Indianapolis where she joined with the Dalai Lama to talk about the power of kindness and how to make the world a more compassionate place.[353]

In April 2020, Gaga curated the televised benefit concert, One World: Together at Home, a collaboration with Global Citizen to benefit the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.[354][355] The special raised $127 million, which according to Forbes «puts it on par with the other legendary fundraiser, Live Aid, as the highest grossing charity concert in history.»[356] In recognition of her contribution to the Black Lives Matter movement, Gaga received the Yolanda Denise King High Ground Award from the King Center’s Beloved Community Awards in January 2021. In her acceptance speech, she denounced racism and white supremacy and addressed her social responsibility as a high-profile artist and white woman.[357]

Born This Way Foundation

Refer to caption.

In 2012, Gaga launched the Born This Way Foundation (BTWF), a non-profit organization that focuses on youth empowerment. It takes its name from her 2011 single and album. Media proprietor Oprah Winfrey, writer Deepak Chopra, and US Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius spoke at the foundation’s inauguration at Harvard University.[358] The foundation’s original funding included $1.2 million from Gaga, $500,000 from the MacArthur Foundation, and $850,000 from Barneys New York.[359] In July 2012, the BTWF partnered with Office Depot, which donated 25% of the sales, a minimum of $1 million of a series of limited edition back-to-school products.[360] The foundation’s initiatives have included the «Born Brave Bus» that followed her on tour as a youth drop-in center as an initiative against bullying.[361][362]

In October 2015, at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Gaga joined 200 high school students, policy makers, and academic officials, including Peter Salovey, to discuss ways to recognize and channel emotions for positive outcomes.[363] In 2016, the foundation partnered with Intel, Vox Media, and Recode to fight online harassment.[364] The sales revenue of the 99th issue of the V magazine, which featured Gaga and Kinney, was donated to the foundation.[162] Gaga and Elton John released the clothing and accessories line Love Bravery at Macy’s in May. 25% of each purchase support Gaga’s foundation and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.[365] Gaga partnered with Starbucks for a week in June 2017 with the «Cups of Kindness» campaign, where the company donated 25 cents from some of the beverages sold to the foundation.[366] She also appeared in a video by Staples Inc. to raise funds for the foundation and DonorsChoose.org.[367]

On the 2018 World Kindness Day, Gaga partnered with the foundation to bring food and relief to a Red Cross shelter for people who have been forced to evacuate homes due to the California wildfires. The foundation also partnered with Starbucks and SoulCycle to thank California firefighters for their relief work during the crisis. The singer had to previously evacuate her own home during the Woolsey Fire which spread through parts of Malibu.[368]

In March 2019, she penned a letter to supporters of the Born This Way Foundation, announcing the launch of a new pilot program for a teen mental health first aid project with the National Council for Behavioral Health. Gaga revealed her personal struggles with mental health in her letter and how she was able to get support which saved her life: «I know what it means to have someone support me and understand what I’m going through, and every young person in the world should have someone to turn to when they’re hurting. It saved my life, and it will save theirs.»[369][370] In September 2020, Gaga released an anthology book, Channel Kindness: Stories of Kindness and Community, featuring fifty-one stories about kindness, bravery, and resilience from young people all over the world collected by the Born This Way Foundation, and introduced by herself.[371] She had been promoting it with a 21 days of kindness challenge on her social media, using the «BeKind21» hashtag.[372] In 2021, Gaga collaborated with the Champagne house Dom Pérignon to release a limited edition of Rosé Vintage 2005 bottles along with a sculpture designed by her. The 110 exclusive pieces will be sold at private sales, and the profits will benefit the foundation.[373] On the 2021 World Kindness Day, Gaga released a 30-minute special, titled The Power of Kindness, as part of the foundation’s Channel Kindness program, in which together with a mental health expert and a group of eleven young people, she explored the connection between kindness and mental health.[374]

LGBT advocacy

A bisexual woman,[c] Gaga actively supports LGBT rights worldwide.[375] She attributes much of her early success as a mainstream artist to her gay fans and is considered a gay icon.[376][377] Early in her career she had difficulty getting radio airplay, and stated, «The turning point for me was the gay community.»[378] She thanked FlyLife, a Manhattan-based LGBT marketing company with whom her label Interscope works, in the liner notes of The Fame.[379] One of her first televised performances was in May 2008 at the NewNowNext Awards, an awards show aired by the LGBT television network Logo.[380]

Gaga spoke at the 2009 National Equality March in Washington, D.C. to support the LGBT rights movement.[381] She attended the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards accompanied by four gay and lesbian former members of the United States Armed Forces who had been unable to serve openly under the US military’s «don’t ask, don’t tell» policy, which banned open homosexuality in the military.[382] Gaga urged her fans via YouTube to contact their senators in an effort to overturn the policy. In September 2010, she spoke at a Servicemembers Legal Defense Network’s rally in Portland, Maine. Following this event, The Advocate named her a «fierce advocate» for gays and lesbians.[383]

Gaga appeared at Europride, an international event dedicated to LGBT pride, in Rome in June 2011. She criticized the poor state of gay rights in many European countries and described gay people as «revolutionaries of love».[384] Later that year, she was referenced by teenager Jamey Rodemeyer in the hours prior to his death, with Rodemeyer having tweeted «@ladygaga bye mother monster, thank you for all you have done, paws up forever». Rodemeyer’s suicide prompted Gaga to meet with then-President Barack Obama in order to address anti-gay bullying in American schools.[385] In 2011, she was also ordained as a minister by the Universal Life Church Monastery so that she could officiate the wedding of two female friends.[386]

In June 2016, during a vigil held in Los Angeles for victims of the attack at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Gaga read aloud the names of the 49 people killed in the attack, and gave a speech.[387] Later that month, Gaga appeared in Human Rights Campaign’s tribute video to the victims of the attack.[388] She opposed the presidency of Donald Trump and his military transgender ban.[389][390] She supported former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for president in 2016.[391] In 2018, a leaked memo from Trump’s office revealed that his administration wanted to change the legal definition of sex to exclude transgender Americans. Gaga was one of the many celebrities to call him out and spread the #WontBeErased campaign to her 77 million Twitter followers.[392][393] In January 2019, during one of her Enigma shows, she criticized Vice President Mike Pence for his wife Karen Pence working at an evangelical Christian school where LGBTQ people are turned away, calling him «the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian». Gaga also stated «I am a Christian woman, and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice, and everybody is welcome».[394] Gaga made a congratulatory speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and the LGBTQ+ community’s accomplishments at WorldPride NYC 2019 outside the Stonewall Inn, birthplace of the modern gay rights movement.[395]

Gaga was named the «Queen of Pop» in a 2011 ranking by Rolling Stone based on record sales and social media metrics. In 2012, she ranked fourth in VH1’s Greatest Women in Music[396][397] and became a feature of the temporary exhibition The Elevated. From the Pharaoh to Lady Gaga, which marked the 150th anniversary of the National Museum in Warsaw.[398]

Gaga has often been praised for using controversy to bring attention to various issues.[399][400] According to Frankie Graddon of The Independent, Gaga—who wore a meat dress to highlight her distaste for the US military’s «don’t ask, don’t tell» policy—influenced protest dressing on red carpet.[401] Billboard named her «the Greatest Pop Star of 2009», asserting that «to say that her one-year rise from rookie to MVP was meteoric doesn’t quite cut it, as she wasn’t just successful, but game-changing—thanks to her voracious appetite for reinvention.»[402] Because of The Fame‘s success—it was listed as one of the 100 Greatest Debut Albums of All-Time by Rolling Stone in 2013[403]—Gaga has been credited as one of the musicians that popularized synthpop in the late 2000s and early 2010s.[404]

According to Kelefa Sanneh of The New Yorker, «Lady Gaga blazed a trail for truculent pop stars by treating her own celebrity as an evolving art project.»[405] Including Born This Way as one of the 50 best female albums of all time, Rolling Stone‘s Rob Sheffield considers it «hard to remember a world where we didn’t have Gaga, although we’re pretty sure it was a lot more boring».[406] In 2015, Time also noted that Gaga had «practically invented the current era of pop music as spectacle».[407] A 2017 journal published by Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts studying structural patterns in melodies of earworm songs compiled lists of catchiest tracks from 3,000 participants, in which Gaga’s «Bad Romance», «Alejandro», and «Poker Face» ranked number one, eight, and nine, respectively.[408] In 2018, NPR named her the second most influential female artist of the 21st century, noting her as «one of the first big artists of the ‘Internet age«.[409] Gaga and her work have influenced various artists including Miley Cyrus,[410] Nicki Minaj,[411] Ellie Goulding,[412] Halsey,[413] Jennifer Lopez,[414] Beyoncé,[415] Nick Jonas,[416] Sam Smith,[417] Noah Cyrus,[418] Katherine Langford,[419] MGMT,[420] Allie X,[421] Greyson Chance,[422] Cardi B,[423] Rina Sawayama,[424] Blackpink,[425] Madison Beer,[426] Ren,[427] Slayyyter,[428] Bebe Rexha,[429] Bree Runway,[430] Celeste,[431] Kim Petras,[432] Jojo Siwa,[433] Pabllo Vittar,[434] Ava Max,[435] Doja Cat,[436] Chaeyoung of Twice,[437] Kanye West,[438] Rachel Zegler,[439] and SZA.[440]

A new genus of ferns, Gaga, and three species, G. germanotta, G. monstraparva and Kaikaia gaga, have been named in her honor. The name monstraparva alluded to Gaga’s fans, known as Little Monsters, since their symbol is the outstretched «monster claw» hand, which resembles a tightly rolled young fern leaf prior to unfurling.[441][442] Gaga also has an extinct mammal, Gagadon minimonstrum,[443] and a parasitic wasp, Aleiodes gaga, named for her.[444][445]

In Taichung, Taiwan, July 3 is designated as «Lady Gaga Day» marking the first day Gaga visited the country in 2011.[446] In May 2021, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Born This Way and its cultural impact, West Hollywood mayor, Lindsey P. Horvath, presented a key to the city to Gaga and declared May 23 as «Born This Way Day.» A street painting with the Daniel Quasar’s version of the pride flag featuring the album’s title was also unveiled on Robertson Boulevard as a tribute to the album, and how it has inspired the LGBT community over the years.[447]

The musician’s fans enjoy her new songs and unique images.

Childhood and youth

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986, in New York. She became the first child of the Italians Cynthia Bissett and Joseph Germanotta; Stefani has a sister who is four years younger.

When the girl turned four, she was fond за picking out tunes and learned how to play the piano on her own. The future celebrity performed Michael Jackson’s and Cyndi Lauper’s songs and recorded her voice on a cheap tape-recorder; she felt like a star.

Lady Gaga in her childhood

Lady Gaga in her childhood

At the age of 11, Stefani attended the private The Convent of the Sacred Heart Catholic school; she often visited open evenings and took lead roles in theater plays. Besides, the talented youth joined the school jazz orchestra and sang. According to teachers, the girl was more intelligent than the majority of her peers. The 17-year-old woman enrolled at the New York University School of the Arts early thanks to her excellent Clive Davis program results. Only 20 students passed all the tests.

At that period, Stefani tried to show herself and behaved eccentrically: she chose extravagant clothes and communicated with transgenders and drag queens at shows and music events. In 2016, there were many speculations about the singer’s mental problems, but they were never confirmed.

Lady Gaga in her youth and nowadays

The musician has a congenital anomaly: the size of her body is small, and her height is only 5.09 ft. (155 cm.). Peers often mocked at Stefani at school. Besides, designers and directors have to deal with the woman’s body measurements when they work with her.

Music

When Stefani finished school, her father found an apartment for his daughter, provided her with the start-up money, and wished her success; he wanted his daughter to meet the family’s expectations. Thus, the young woman began her independent life.

Lady Gaga and Yoko Ono

The young woman started giving concerts in East Harlem clubs together with Mackin Pulsifer and SGBand. She was surrounded by musicians and singers developing electronic music. At this time, Stefani decided to become a bodacious, outstanding singer.

2006 was marked with the collaboration with the producer Rob Fusari. The singer created her first works: «Beautiful Dirty Rich”, “Dirty Ice Cream”, and “Disco Heaven”. She took up the stage name “Lady Gaga” derived from Queen’s song “Radio Ga Ga” and asked not to call her Stefani.

At the beginning of her career, Lady Gaga was lucky to meet Lady Starlight who affected her overall style and trademark. Another popular musician, the rapper Akon, also contributed to the singer’s development.

In 2008, the freak singer entered the world of music. Her debuting album The Fame with the hits “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” proved to be immensely popular. Today, the album has been platinum three times, and more than 4 million copies have been sold.

Lady Gaga can boast numerous achievements: six Grammy Awards and 30 MTV Awards in different countries all over the world. Her ten-year career is marked with six albums; Cheek to Cheek (2014) created with Tony Bennett and Joanne (2016) are the most recent works. Lady Gaga also won the American Music Awards, one of the most prestigious music titles in the USA.

In September 2009, the American singer was officially named the “Queen of Download”: two singles from the first album were among the 40 most frequently downloaded songs according to British Official Charts Company. The hits “Just Dance” and “Bad Romance” enjoyed the mass distribution. Besides, the music videos “Poker Face”, “Alejandro”, “Paparazzi”, “Telephone”, and “Judas” were welcomed by the audience. Today, they continue to get thousands of views.

The song “Bad Romance” is worth noticing: many critics marked the music, the concept, and the storyline in the music video. The singer is satisfied with this accomplishment, and millions of fans call this song the best one in Lady Gaga’s discography.

Fans like to discuss the singer’s appearance, and even Hollywood stars could be jealous of the artist’s ability to transform. The eccentric star could become the first singer who gave a concert in space; the flight was scheduled for 2015 but did not take place for some technical reasons.

Lady Gaga’s dresses

Lady Gaga likes to go out in mind-blowing clothes: it is traced in all her costumes. For example, the singer’s meat dress was much spoken about. The woman has always tried to stand out by her fabulous clothes and accessories, such as a wig half of her height or a net costume that exposed much of her body. Still, her appearance at the 27th MTV Video Music Awards ceremony was more than weird: the musician was wearing a dress that appeared to have been made of pork only, a hat, and a clutch. This individual order dress was cased with pork and prepared for wearing with a special proofing.

At the same time, Lady Gaga’s company has frequent problems related to the singer’s photos. In summer 2016, the star’s compromising pictures appeared and provoked a scandal. Although the story was suppressed, only a large sum of money helped solve that problem.

In addition to her music career, Lady Gaga produces her own perfume “Lady Gaga Fame” which is notable for breaking the traditional pyramid scheme: the push-pull technology where all notes are equally presented was used.

Movies

Lady Gaga has starred in several movies with varying success. For example, the role of La Chameleón in Machete Kills (2013) was a total failure while the series American Horror Story, particularly the seasons “Hotel” and “Roanoke”, brought the singer the tremendous success.

Gaga was raised Roman Catholic. From age eleven she attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private all-girls Roman Catholic school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. She described her academic life in high school as «very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined» but also «a bit insecure»: «I used to get made fun of for being either too provocative or too eccentric, so I started to tone it down. I didn’t fit in, and I felt like a freak.

Gaga began playing the piano at the age of four, wrote her first piano ballad at thirteen, and started to perform at open mike nights by the age of fourteen. She performed lead roles in high school productions, including «Adelaide in Guys and Dolls and Philia in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum». She also appeared in a very small role as a mischievous classmate in the television drama series The Sopranos in a 2001 episode titled «The Telltale Moozadell» and auditioned for New York shows without success. She sang in a classic-rock cover band, Mackin Pulsifer, during her freshman year of high school. The band did covers of Led Zeppelin’s songs along with Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane.

2004–05: Career beginnings

Main articles: 2004, 2005

After high school, her mother encouraged her to apply for the Collaborative Arts Project 21 (CAP21), a musical theatre training conservatory at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. By age seventeen, after becoming one of twenty students to gain early admission, she lived in an NYU dorm on 11th Street. In addition to sharpening her songwriting skills, she composed essays and analytical papers on art, religion, social issues and politics, including a thesis on pop artists Spencer Tunick and Damien Hirst. She also tried won the part of an unsuspecting diner customer for MTV’s Boiling Points, a prank reality television show.

In 2005, Gaga withdrew from CAP21 at 19, in the second semester of her sophomore year, deciding to focus on her musical career. Her father agreed to pay her rent for a year, on the condition that she re-enroll at Tisch if unsuccessful. «I left my entire family, got the cheapest apartment I could find, and ate shit until somebody would listen,» she remembers. Settled in a small apartment on Rivington Street towards the summer of 2005, Gaga recorded a couple of songs with hip-hop singer Grandmaster Melle Mel, for an audio book accompanying the children’s book The Portal in the Park, by Cricket Casey.

At The Bitter End (Jan 20, 2006)

She also began a band called the Stefani Germanotta Band (SGBand) with some friends from NYU – guitarist Calvin Pia, bassist Eli Silverman, drummer Alex Beckham and booking manager Frank Fredericks – in September of that year. The band played a mixture of songs: some self-penned alongside classic rock numbers like Led Zeppelin’s «D’yer Mak’er». Playing in bars like the Greenwich Village’s The Bitter End and the Lower East Side’s the Mercury Lounge, the band developed a small fan base and caught the eye of music producer Joe Vulpis. Soon after arranging time in Vulpis’ studio in the months that followed, SGBand were selling their extended plays Words and Red and Blue (both 2005) at gigs around New York while becoming a local fixture of the downtown Lower East Side club scene.

2006–07: Artistic development

Main articles: 2006, 2007

SGBand reached their career peak at the 2006 Songwriters Hall of Fame New Songwriters Showcase at The Cutting Room in June where Wendy Starland, a musician, appeared as a talent scout for music producer Rob Fusari. Starland informed Fusari – who was searching for a female singer to front a new band – of Gaga’s ability and contacted her. With SGBand disbanded, Gaga traveled daily to New Jersey to work on songs she had written and compose new material with the music producer. While in collaboration, Fusari compared some of her vocal harmonies to those of Freddie Mercury, lead singer of Queen. It was Fusari who helped create the moniker Gaga after the Queen song «Radio Ga Ga». Gaga was in the process of trying to come up with a stage name when she received a text message from Fusari that read «Lady Gaga.» She texted back, «That’s it,» and declared, «Don’t ever call me Stefani again.

Germanotta and Rob Fusari at Recording Studio (Nov 4, 2006)

Although the musical relationship between Fusari and Gaga was unsuccessful at first, the pair soon set up a company titled Team Love Child in which they recorded and produced electropop tracks and sent them to music industry bosses. Joshua Sarubin, the head of A&R at Def Jam Recordings, responded positively and vied for the record company to take a chance on her «unusual and provocative» performance. After having his boss Antonio «L.A.» Reid in agreement, Gaga was signed to Def Jam in September 2006 with the intention of having an album ready in nine months. However, she was dropped by the label after only three months – an unfortunate period of her life that would later inspire her treatment for the music video for her 2011 single «Marry the Night». Devastated, Gaga returned to the solace of the family home for Christmas and the nightlife culture of the Lower East Side.

She became increasingly experimental: fascinating herself with emerging neo-burlesque shows, go-go dancing at bars dressed in little more than a bikini in addition to experimenting with drugs. During this time, she met performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped mold her on-stage persona. Starlight explained that, upon their first meeting, Gaga wanted to perform with her to songs she had recorded with Fusari. Like SGBand, the pair soon began performing at many of the downtown club venues. Their live performance art piece was known as «Lady Gaga and the Starlight Revue» and, billed as «The Ultimate Pop Burlesque Rockshow», was a low-fi tribute to 1970’s variety acts. Soon after, the two were invited to play at the 2007 Lollapalooza Music festival in August that year.

While Gaga and Starlight were busy performing, producer Rob Fusari continued to work on the songs he had created with Gaga. Fusari sent these songs to his friend, producer and record executive Vincent Herbert. Herbert was quick to sign her to his label Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records, upon its establishment in 2007.

After taking a sabbatical from college in 2005, Stefani decided to try her luck to get a break in the music industry. She first collaborated with American hip-hop artiste Melvin Grover on an audio book project aimed at children.

She continued studying music and performing, writing her first piano ballad at the age of 13, and she held her first performance in a New York nightclub at the age of 14.

A few years later, Gaga was granted early admission to New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts — she was one of only 20 students in the world to receive the honor of early acceptance. While there, she studied music and worked on her songwriting skills. She later withdrew from school to find creative inspiration. To make ends meet, she took three jobs, including a stint as a gogo dancer, while she honed her performance-art act.

In 2005, Lady Gaga was briefly signed by Def Jam Records, but was dropped just months later. Being dropped by the label propelled the singer to perform on her own in clubs and venues on New York City’s Lower East Side. There, she collaborated with several rock bands, and began her experimentation with fashion.

With the help of her own creative team, «Haus of Gaga,» the performer also began to make a name for herself internationally.

‘Just Dance,’ ‘Poker Face’

Lady Gaga’s debut single, «Just Dance,» was released to radio in early 2008, and received both popular and commercial acclaim. The song was then nominated for a Grammy Award (for best dance recording) in 2008. The song lost to Daft Punk’s «Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,» but this didn’t keep Gaga from reaching No. 1 on the mainstream pop charts in January 2009. The second single off The Fame, «Poker Face,» earned Gaga even more success. The song topped singles charts in almost every category, and in almost every country. Both songs were produced by Akon’s affiliate RedOne, who co-wrote most of Lady Gaga’s album.

‘Born This Way’

Later in 2008, Lady Gaga opened for the newly reformed New Kids on the Block. She also collaborated with them on the song «Big Girl Now» from the group’s album The Block. The following year, Gaga released an album of eight songs, The Fame Monster, followed by 2011’s Born This Way. In 2013, Lady Gaga released her third studio album, Artpop. The album didn’t resonate as strongly with her audience as her previous works. Among the shake-ups in her inner circle, she and her manager parted ways.

Working With Tony and Golden Globe

In 2014, she released an album of jazz duets with crooner Tony Bennett entitled Cheek to Cheek, which later won a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. In an interview with Parade, Lady Gaga said of her latest collaboration, “Working with Tony has reaffirmed everything I knew but that you start to forget when your life changes and it gets really noisy. For ­Tony, it’s all about great music.”

Gaga continued to showcase her versatility and strength as a vocalist at the Academy Awards telecast in February 2015, paying tribute to the 50th anniversary of The Sound of Music and actress/singer Julie Andrews by performing selections from the musical.

In 2021, Gaga and Bennett released their second collaborative album Love for Sale, which won best traditional pop vocal album at the Grammys in 2022. 

Golden Globe for ‘American Horror Story’

Later that year, Gaga also showed her gifts as an actress by co-starring in American Horror Story: Hotel, earning a Golden Globe for her portrayal of The Countess.

She also performed at the 88th Annual Academy Awards, performing «Til It Happens to You» after being introduced by then-Vice President Joe Biden. The song was from the 2015 documentary The Hunting Ground, which looked at the issue of rape on college campuses. Assault survivors were brought to the stage toward the close of the song, with the performance earning a standing ovation.

Success With ‘Joanne’

In October 2016, Gaga released her fifth studio album, Joanne, her fourth album to reach No. 1 in the United States and top the charts in countries around the world. Partnering with producer Mark Ronson, Gaga tapped into her own life story for the album that is named after her aunt and father’s sister, Joanne Germanotta, who died of lupus complications at the age of 19 before Gaga was born. “Returning to your family and where you came from, and your history … this is what makes you strong,” Lady Gaga told People magazine. “It’s not looking out that’s going to do that – it’s looking in. Joanne is a progression for me. It was about going into the studio and forgetting that I was famous.”

She also told People that her relationships influenced the stories she tells in Joanne. “When you listen to the album, it’s clear the influence that all the men in my life have made on this record,» she said. «That’s at the center of it, as well: I always wanted to be a good girl. And Joanne was such a good girl. But I have such a rebellious spirit, and my father was always very angry. He drank because of his sister’s death. I was trying to understand him through making this record, and in that, also trying to understand why I love men that are cowboys.”

Gaga launched the Joanne World Tour in support of her latest album in August 2017. She later nabbed a Best Pop Solo Performance Grammy for the album’s title track.

Super Bowl Performances

In 2016, Lady Gaga performed the national anthem at Super Bowl 50, and she returned the following year to headline the Super Bowl LI halftime show. She began her powerhouse performance on the roof of the NRG Stadium in Houston, singing parts of «God Bless America» and «This Land is Your Land» and reciting an excerpt of the pledge of allegiance before diving through the air suspended by wires to the stage. Her halftime show included a medley of her iconic songs including «Edge of Glory,» «Bad Romance,» «Poker Face,» «Born This Way,» «Telephone,» «Just Dance,» as well as «Million Reasons» from her album Joanne.

‘A Star Is Born’

In 2016, it was announced that Gaga had been cast in a remake of A Star Is Born as Ally, a role previously inhabited by Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand. She was slated to co-star with Bradley Cooper, who was also making his directorial debut with the project.

A Star Is Born became a hit with audiences upon its October 2018 release, grossing an impressive $400 million globally. The co-stars both earned Academy Award nominations for their performances, while their duet for the film, «Shallow,» produced Golden Globe, Grammy and Oscar wins for Gaga.

Las Vegas Residency

The following August, she confirmed that she would begin her residency at MGM Resorts’ Park Theater at the end of the year, performing two separate shows over 27 dates: Lady Gaga Enigma, a collection of her most popular songs, and Lady Gaga Jazz & Piano, which features stripped-down versions of her greatest hits as well as selections from the Great American Songbook.

‘Chromatica’ and ‘One World’

With her sixth studio album, Chromatica, on the way, Gaga in February 2020 released the dance-worthy single «Stupid Love,» her first new music in three years, along with a typically eye-catching video that showed her defeating the forces of evil with her «Kindness punks.» Her follow-up single with Ariana Grande, «Rain on Me,» dropped in late May, one week before the release of the well-received Chromatica.

Meanwhile, Gaga had teamed with the international advocacy group Global Citizen to organize the «One World: Together At Home» virtual concert in April. Featuring performances from luminaries like Paul McCartney, Elton John and Taylor Swift, the event raised more than $127 million to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

Personal Life

Mini Bio (1)

Lady Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, is an American songwriter, singer, actress, philanthropist, dancer and fashion designer.

Gaga was born on March 28, 1986 in Manhattan, New York City, to Cynthia Louise (Bissett), a philanthropist and business executive, and Joseph Anthony Germanotta, Jr., an internet entrepreneur. Her father is of Italian descent; and her mother, who is from West Virginia, is of half Italian and half French, English, German, and Scottish ancestry. Gaga was able to sing and play the piano from a young age. She attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart from age 11 where was bullied for her appearance (she was small and plumper than other girls with large front teeth) and eccentric habits.

By the age of 14, Gaga was performing at open mike nights in clubs and bars. By age 17, she had gained early admission to New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. In addition to sharpening her songwriting skills, she composed essays and analytical papers on art, religion, social issues and politics. At the age of 19 Gaga withdrew from her studies and moved out of her parents’ home in order to pursue a musical career. During this time she started a band which began to gain local attention.

After a brief partnership with talent scout Rob Fusari, which resulted in the creation of her stage name, Gaga was signed to Def Jam Records in 2006; however she was dropped from the label after just three months. Devastated, Gaga returned home, and became increasingly experimental: fascinating herself with emerging neo-burlesque shows, go-go dancing at bars dressed in little more than a bikini in addition to experimenting with drugs.

Gaga met performance artist Lady Starlight during this time; after a performance at Lollapalooza Festival in 2007 Gaga was signed by Vince Herbert to Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. Having served as an apprentice songwriter under an internship at Famous Music Publishing, which was later acquired by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Gaga subsequently struck a music publishing deal with Sony/ATV. As a result, she was hired to write songs for Britney Spears and labelmates New Kids on the Block, Fergie, and the Pussycat Dolls. At Interscope, singer-songwriter Akon recognized her vocal abilities when she sang a reference vocal for one of his tracks in studio; Akon then convinced Interscope-Geffen-A&M Chairman and CEO Jimmy Iovine to form a joint deal by having her also sign with his own label Kon Live, making her his «franchise player.»

In 2008 Gaga released her first album ‘The Fame’ to lukewarm radio play; Gaga toured around Europe and in gay clubs in the US to promote the album — however it was not until her first hit ‘Just Dance’ came to mainstream attention in 2009 that Gaga exploded onto the music scene.

Since then Gaga has gained numerous awards and nominations for a string of hits; her first album spawned several more smash hits ‘Paparazzi’, ‘Loveame’ and ‘Poker Face’); while touring the album Gaga wrote ‘The Fame Monster’, an EP examining the darker side to her new-found fame. The Fame Monster was released in 2009 and won multiple awards, spawning her most iconic single ‘Bad Romance’ as well as ‘Telephone’ and ‘Alejandro’. During this time Gaga came under increased public and critical scrutiny for her eccentric and often bizarre style choices. Gaga embarked on her second tour, The Monster Ball; upon finishing in May 2011, the critically acclaimed and commercially accomplished tour ran for over one and a half years and grossed $227.4 million, making it one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time and the highest-grossing for a debut headlining artist. Concerts performed at Madison Square Garden in New York City were filmed for an HBO television special. The special accrued one of its five Emmy Award nominations and has since been released on DVD and Blu-ray.

In 2011 Gaga released her second full-length album ‘Born this Way’; the album was received vastly more critically than her previous two for touching on themes of politics, sexuality, and religion. Despite this, the album’s songs were praised critically, and Born This Way sold 1.108 million copies in its first week in the US, debuting atop the Billboard 200, and topping the charts in more than 20 other countries. In addition to exceeding 8 million copies in worldwide sales, Born This Way received 3 Grammy Award nominations, including her third consecutive for Album of the Year. In March 2012, Gaga was ranked fourth on Billboard’s list of top moneymakers of 2011, grossing $25,353,039 dollars, which included sales from Born This Way and her Monster Ball Tour.

At the end of April 2012, Gaga’s Born This Way kicked off in Korea — the tour would last 2 years and take the singer to every continent of the globe. However in February 2012 the tour was abruptly canceled; Gaga had a labral tear in her right hip which she had been nursing secretly for several weeks in the hopes that she would be able to continue the tour. After a performance in Toronto left her unable to walk and in considerable pain, she was taken to hospital for surgery and the tour was canceled. Through to Jan. 17, the tour had grossed $168.2 million and moved 1.6 million tickets to 85 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore, with the Asian, European, and South American legs already completed in 2012. The North American leg, which was to wrap the tour and was almost completely sold out, would have likely put the tour at more than $200 million gross, easily in the top 20 tours of all time and probably in the top 15, according to Billboard. As it stands, Gaga finished sixth among all touring artists in 2012, with a gross of $125 million and attendance of more than 1.1 million, according to Boxscore.

Gaga wrote her third album, ARTPOP, released in 2013. Gaga made her acting debut in Robert Rodriguez’s Мачете убивает (2013), the sequel to his 2010 film Machete, and also appeared in Rodriguez’s sequel Город грехов 2: Женщина, ради которой стоит убивать (2014). In 2018, she starred with Bradley Cooper, who also directed, in Звезда родилась (2018). Gaga received her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for the role.

Her manager forced Yankovic to go through (at his own expense) the process of writing, recording, mixing and mastering the song, all while Yankovic was on tour in Australia, prior to denying permission to him. Yankovic felt that if he had to jump through all those hoops, it should still be heard, if not on his album, then online.

Gaga stated that she was never told he had even reached out to her, and would have given him permission on the spot.

Personal Quotes (55)

[on Donatella Versace] She’s iconic and powerful, yet people throw darts at her. She’s definitely provocative.

Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.

I was the arty girl, the theatre chick. I dressed differently and I came from a different social class from the other girls. I was more of an average schoolgirl with a cork.

[on her style] My grandmother is basically blind, but she can make out the lighter parts, like my skin and hair. She says, «I can see you, because you have no pants on.» So I’ll continue to wear no pants so that my grandma can see me.

You must never ever let a guy know how much you like him, because then he’ll run in the other direction … Well, I just sign that when you don’t play hard to get, if you’re too easy or you come off too eager, they run away so you gotta keep your pokerface on.

I love Dolce & Gabbana. I love Versace. I love the crazy, more eccentric stuff. I can’t pay my rent, but I’m f—ing gorgeous.

I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent’s house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up. I didn’t know somebody, who knew somebody, who knew somebody. If I have any advice to anybody, it’s to just do it yourself, and don’t waste time trying to get a favor.

Writing a record is like dating a few men at once. You take them to the same restaurants to see if they measure up, and at some point you decide who you like best. When you make music or write or create, it’s really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you’re writing about at the time.

My album covers are not sexual at all, which was an issue at my record label. I fought for months, and I cried at meetings. They didn’t think the photos were commercial enough… In my opinion, the last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.

[on Britney Spears] Britney’s a real class act in terms of the way she handles herself in the media and embraces new artists. She’s always really kind, I’ve always admired that about her.

[on Britney Spears] It was awesome seeing the song change when she put her touches on it. I’m just really grateful that she loves the music and she’s so supportive of me. She’s a fan of my stuff and to write a song that she loves and to know she loves me as an artist, you can’t ask for anything better than that.

[on Britney Spears] She’s gonna kick everybody’s ass. She’s awesome; as far as I’m concerned, Britney never left.

[on writing the song Quicksand for Britney Spears] She was very sweet and she was very excited to do this song. It’s an honor to do anything for Britney Spears — she is such an iconic pop figure for my generation.

I am not sexy in the way that Britney Spears is sexy — which is a compliment to her because she’s deliciously good-looking.

[on writing songs for Britney Spears] She’s a nice girl — I just feel very honored that she wanted to sing my song. I used to scream for her in Times Square and now I work for her. When I was 13 she was the most provocative performer of my time. I love her so much!

[on Britney Spears] Britney certainly doesn’t need any freaking tips from me! Britney Spears is the queen of pop. I was learning from her.

I would rather die than have my fans not see me in a pair of high heels. I’d never give up my wigs or hats for anything. You see legendary people taking out their trash, I think it’s destroying show business.

[about her experience at school] I had a very big nose, very curly brown hair and I was overweight. I got made fun of.

Pop music will never be low brow.

[on how to be glamorous for a photo shoot] Just look straight into that lens and be yourself.

Be yourself and love who you are and be proud. Because you were born this way, baby.

People assume that when I’m off stage I transform back into someone else. But I truly believe in the glamorous lifestyle that I present to the outside world. I love glamor. A glamorous life is quite different to a life of luxury. I don’t need luxury. For years I was practically broke but I was still vain and glamorous.

[on Freddie Mercury]: Freddie was unique — one of the biggest personalities in the whole of pop music.

Everywhere I go a Gaga fairy has been there before me and left a cupboard full of wonderful clothes that I’m allowed to borrow and wear. When I move on to the next city, the next cupboard is waiting. I haven’t been shopping myself for over a year now.

She is the queen, Madonna is the queen. I have so much adoration for her. Being compared to her is unbelievably flattering, but in truth there is no one that can compare with Madonna. She is the queen!

First thing in the morning, try to think compassionate thoughts about yourself for five minutes. I don’t always do it, but I try to.

[on sleeping with her makeup still on] I’ve got to wash my face at some point. I do get laughed at quite a bit by all my friends because they say I go to sleep a lot with my make-up on. But I say that I have to be ready for the men in my dreams!

They’d say, ‘Why do you do your make-up like that, what’s with your eyebrows?’ I used to do these really big Evita brows. I used to self-tan, and I had this really intense tan in school, and people would say, ‘Why the fuck are you so orange, why do you do your hair that way, are you a dyke?’ I used to be called a slut… I didn’t even want to go to school sometimes.

[on sex] It’s always been important to me, as it’s for my generation, a most relevant consideration when you’re growing up. Sex doesn’t mean nothing; sex means so much. I hope that young women know that sex is still a big deal, and they don’t have to put out soon. If they want someone to court them for a while before they give it up, that’s wonderful and beautiful, and a man will only respect you more for honoring your body. I am that way.

My mother and I have initiated a passion project. Together we hope to establish a standard of Bravery and Kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment.

Don’t you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are.

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams.

There’s a sort of stigma around doing good deeds that’s maybe not so cool. I’m doing everything that I can, working with experts, really studying the statistics to figure out a way we can make it cool or normal to be kind and loving.

[observation, 2013] I certainly feel at this time it’s almost as if people are surprised they haven’t already destroyed me. It gives them a sense of pleasure when they believe that they’ve destroyed me or taken me down. It’s almost entertainment for people to poke fun at Lady Gaga. It doesn’t bother me, it’s just an interesting observation of where we are as a society.

The performer ages and the music ages and so do the things that we create. But at the end of the day, I will still always live for the applause — even when I’m an old lady and no one knows who I am anymore.

[on planning to release a jazz album with Tony Bennett in 2014] It’s nice to be around somebody that sees where my old soul is.

[on her career] I think part of the excitement and the challenge of it is you never really know when I’m saying something that’s supposed to be profound, or I’ve just got a wig on my head. It doesn’t matter. It’s all in the joy of entertainment and theatre.

The purest and most wonderful experience that you can have with music or art is that you don’t think about it before you listen to it or look at it. You just breathe and you feel.

Sending bravery to LGBTs in Russia. The rise in government abuse is archaic. Hosing teenagers with pepper spray? Beatings? Mother Russia? The Russian government is criminal. Oppression will be met with revolution. Russian LGBTs you are not alone. We will fight for your freedom.

[Holding up her award] For God and the Gays!

It’s a lot harder to sing with auto-tune, you know? It’s a lot harder to sing with rigid electronic music and lots of spectacle. It can be very difficult because it’s not always extremely natural.

Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mom taught me!

Sex is an inspiration for everyone and I don’t think there is one song that’s ever been written that sex wasn’t part of. That’s what makes the world go round.

I have always asked a guy to be tested and to use protection, which was always my rule. Otherwise you’re playing Russian roulette.

Brazil, I’m devastated that I’m not well enough, I’m too sick to come to Rock In Rio. I would do anything for you but I have to take care of my body. I ask for your grace and understanding, and promise that I will come back and perform for you soon

I’m your biggest fan / I’ll follow you until you love me / Papa-Paparazzi / Baby there’s no other superstar / You know that I’ll be your Papa-Paparazzi / Promise I’ll be kind / But I won’t stop until that boy is mine / Baby you’ll be famous / Chase you down until you love me / Papa-Paparazzi

[2010] I don’t smoke. Well, maybe a single cigarette — with whisky — while I’m working, because it just frees my mind a little bit. But I care about my voice. The thrill of the voice being healthy on stage is really special. I take care of myself.

Let’s get lost you can take me home / Somewhere nice we can be alone / Bikini tops, coming o-o-off / Don’t be sad when the sun goes down / You’ll wake up and I’m not around / I’ve got to go oh, oh, oh, oh, oh / We’ll still have the summer after all

Sisters never pack up / We always run back love / Seven years ago / I said you’d make it / Sonja was Joanne’s friend / Tough girls on the mend / So when I’m feeling small / I toss that cork and call / On the Pinot, Pinot Grigio girls / Pour your heart out / Watch your blues turn gold / All the Pinot, Pinot Grigio girls / Keep it real cold / ‘Cause it’s a fired up world / Oh, oh, make it all make sense

Take my hand, stay Joanne / Heaven’s not ready for you / Every part / Of my aching heart / Needs you more / Than the angels do / Girl / Where do you think you’re goin’?

I confess I am lost / In the age of the social / On our knees, take a test / To be lovin’ and grateful / Shots were fired on the street / By the church where we used to meet / Angel down, angel down / But the people just stood around

One of my friends [Sonja Dunham] has stage four breast cancer and there is a song [Grigio Girls] which touches on that relationship on the album but it’s also quite a fun song. All the different things going on in my life bring me back to the people I love and that can heal you at any moment.

[on Nicole Scherzinger and The Pussycat Dolls] There’s something that’s very humbling about being able to work with a powerhouse group like that. Probably the biggest influence they’ve had on me is making me want to be a better writer.

Social media, quite frankly, is the toilet of the internet. And what it has done to pop culture is abysmal.

[on horns appearing on her body] They’re not prosthetics. They’re my bones. They come out when I’m inspired. They’ve always been inside of me, but I have been waiting for the right time to reveal to the universe who I truly am.

Биография

Стефани Джоанн Анджелина Джерманотта родилась в Нью-Йорке[1] и была старшим ребёнком в итальянской семье Джозефа (Джузеппе) и Синтии Джерманотта[8]. У Стефани есть младшая сестра Натали.

С раннего детства Стефани увлеклась музыкой, а к четырём годам самостоятельно научилась играть на фортепиано и вскоре стала записывать песни Майкла Джексона и Синди Лаупер на детский кассетный магнитофон. Отчасти страсть к музыке передалась ей по наследству:

Отец, родом из Нью-Джерси, играл в ансамблях в прибрежных клубах; одним словом, пытался идти по стопам Брюса Спрингстина. Так что музыка у меня в крови, и воспитали меня очень трудолюбивой. Я была совершенно бесстрашной девчонкой. Сколько бы меня ни сбрасывали, всё равно поднималась вновь.

— Lady GaGa для газеты Mail[9]

В одиннадцатилетнем возрасте Стефани поначалу собирались направить в манхэттенскую Guilliard School[3], но вместо этого она оказалась в школе Convent of The Sacred Heart, где училась, в частности, с сёстрами Хилтон и Кэролайн Кеннеди. Позже она говорила, что этих девочек видела лишь иногда, в коридорах. В школе ей нередко приходилось терпеть насмешки сверстниц, но в целом она с удовольствием вспоминает то время:

Некоторые девочки настроены были враждебно. Они смеялись надо мной, потому что я одевалась не так, как все, и уже пела в группах. Они не могли понять, почему я этим так увлечена. Но иногда мне доставалось всё внимание, потому что я была душой и сердцем каждой вечеринки.

— Lady GaGa[9]

Закончив среднюю школу, Стефани поступила в Школу искусств при Нью-Йоркском университете (Tisch School of the Arts). К 14 годам она уже пела на сцене нью-йоркского клуба Bitter End, а также выступала на школьной театральной сцене Regis High School Repertory (одна из её ролей — Анна Андреевна в «Ревизоре») и в составе ансамбля Regis Jazz Band. В пятнадцатилетнем возрасте Стефани стала появляться в нью-йоркском даунтауне с группами Mackin Pulsifer и SGBand. Здесь под влиянием окружавших её музыкантов она решила сделать «что-нибудь провокационное в андерграундном рок-н-ролле». В клубах Стефани делала всё, чтобы обратить на себя внимание: появлялась в бикини и мини-шортах в блёстках, поджигала лак для волос и пугала присутствующих[10].

«На мне были леопардовые расцветки, волосы как у Эми Уайнхаус, я пела и играла на фортепиано, а в волосах у меня были орхидеи», — вспоминала она[9]. Отец Стефани, антрепренёр по роду деятельности, был шокирован известием о том, что дочь посещает клубы Нижнего Ист-Сайда, где появляется в бурлеск-шоу с трансвеститами и танцовщицами. «Он несколько месяцев избегал смотреть мне в глаза», — говорила она[10]. В то время «фэшн-иконами» Леди Гаги были Пегги Банди и Донателла Версаче[10].

Начало музыкальной карьеры

В 2006 году Стефани начала работать с музыкальным продюсером Робом Фьюзари, с которым написала несколько песен: все они вошли в её репертуар и стали популярными в клубах даунтауна: «Beautiful, Dirty, Rich», «Dirty Ice Cream», «Disco Heaven». В это же время она впервые использовала псевдоним Lady GaGa (от песни Queen «Radio Ga Ga»). Роб Фьюзари начал называть её так — за гримасы и позы, сходные с теми, что использовал Фредди Меркьюри[10]. Свой первый контракт Леди Гага подписала с Def Jam, но потеряла его через 9 месяцев. Год спустя её заметил музыкальный функционер Винсент Херберт и в январе 2008 года подписал к лейблу Interscope Records, поначалу в качестве автора песен. Материал Lady GaGa был использован такими исполнителями, как Ферги, Pussycat Dolls, Бритни Спирс и New Kids on the Block. Впоследствии, на вопрос о том, какое значение имело для неё сотрудничество с Pussycat Dolls, Леди Гага говорила: «Ну, во-первых, мне вообще нравятся девушки в нижнем белье… <Кроме того,> именно работа над песнями для них побудила меня к совершенствованию на авторском поприще»[11].

В числе тех, на кого произвели впечатление вокальные и театральные способности Леди Гаги, был рэпер Эйкон: он прослушал её демо-плёнку и подписал к лейблу Kon Live Records. «С одной стороны он словно бы преподносил мне всё на серебряной тарелочке, с другой — помогал обеими ногами твёрдо стоять на земле»[11], — позже говорила она.

В те же дни Леди Гага познакомилась с перформанс-артисткой Lady Starlight: некоторые идеи последней она использовала при разработке своего сценического имиджа. Дуэт приступил к сотрудничеству — в частности, в таких проектах, как «Lady GaGa and The Starlight Revue» (ретро-варьете в стиле 1970-х годов), где Стефани играла на синтезаторе. Именно в эти дни Леди Гага сформировала концепцию, которую позже выразила ставшим знаменитым высказыванием: «Я пишу песни под платья». «Платье здесь своего рода метафора: я хочу сказать лишь, что каждая моя песня появляется — под всё сразу: то есть, когда в моём воображении уже формируется её полное аудио- и визуальное оформление»[12], — позже уточняла она.

2008-09: The Fame

При непосредственном участии Эйкона Леди Гага начала готовить авторский материал для дебютного альбома с продюсером RedOne. «Он — сердце и душа моей вселенной… Я повстречала его и он — ну просто на 150 тысяч процентов своими объятиями охватил весь мой талант», — позже вспоминала она.[11] Целью их творческого дуэта стало — соединение электро-глэма (с элементами стиля Боуи и Queen) с хип-хоповскими мелодиями и ритмами, но с сохранением рок-н-ролльного настроя.

Фредди Меркьюри и Дэвид Боуи были для меня ключевым влиянием. Когда я выступала в нью-йоркских клубах, многие лейблы считали меня слишком театральной. Потом, когда я прослушивалась для мюзиклов, продюсеры говорили, что я слишком попсовая. Я не знала что делать, пока не открыла для себя Боуи и Queen. Их песни сочетали в себе поп и театр — и я увидела перед собой путь вперед.

— Леди Гага[9]

В числе любимых исполнителей, оказавших влияние на звучание и стиль альбома, певица называла позже Элтона Джона и Scissor Sisters[11].

Первая записанная ими песня, «Boys, Boys, Boys», была вдохновлена хитом Mötley Crüe «Girls, Girls, Girls», куда были введены элементы песни AC/DC «T.N.T.» В августе 2007 года Lady GaGa & The Starlight Revue выступили на фестивале Lollapalooza. Здесь же она получила замечание от полицейского по поводу её «непристойного самообнажения». К 2008 году Леди Гага переехала в Лос-Анджелес и приступила к работе над дебютным альбомом The Fame.

The Fame — о том, что каждый может почувствовать себя знаменитым. Поп-культура это форма искусства. Нет ничего крутого в том, чтобы ненавидеть поп. Я приняла эту форму искусства, и этот альбом — тому подтверждение. Но это — слава, которой можно поделиться с другими. Я хочу пригласить всех вас на party. Хочу, чтобы люди почувствовали себя частью этого стиля жизни. — Леди Гага[10]

The Fame вышел в августе 2008 года в Канаде (где поднялся до #2), Австралии (#7) и некоторых европейских странах. 28 октября альбом вышел в США и дебютировал на #17 (тираж первой недели составил 24 тыс.), поднявшись вскоре на вершину Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart. К сентябрю 2010 года он провёл в топ-75 UK Albums Chart рекордные 154 недели, побив предыдущий рекорд Oasis в 134 недели[13]. В целом он получил позитивные отзывы критики: Times Online охарактеризовал его как «фантастический микс баллад под-Боуи, среднетемповых драматических номеров в духе Queen и синт-данс-треков, высмеивающих богатых детишек, жаждущих получить славу любой ценой»[14].

«Just Dance»

Первый сингл альбома, «Just Dance», вышел 8 апреля 2008 года и возглавил хит-парады Австралии и Канады. В октябре он поднялся на первое место Billboard Hot 100 и Billboard Pop 100 charts. 4 декабря 2008 года сингл достиг 9-й позиции в российском радио-чарте[15], повторил успех сингл Poker Face, выпущенный 29 сентября 2008 года и добравшийся до второго места.

Осенью 2008 года Леди Гага дала свой первый концерт с реформированными New Kids on the Block: это гастрольное сотрудничество продолжалось месяц. В декабре 2008 года Леди Гага появилась в списке BBC Sound of 2009 в одном ряду с другими восходящими звёздами наступающего года. В январе она вышла в турне с Pussycat Dolls по Европе и странам Океании.

17 января 2009 года «Just Dance» поднялся на вершину UK Singles Chart[16]: к этому времени британская пресса уже называла её «новой Мадонной»[17]. «Это была моя давняя мечта — получить хит в UK: мои фэны там так сексуальны, а люди в целом необычайно изобретательны и свободны в своём отношении к поп-культуре и музыке»[17], — заметила певица. Вышедший почти сразу вслед за ним (24 января) сингл «Poker Face» возглавил британский чарт 28 марта и, как и «Just Dance», оставался на вершине 3 недели. В последнюю неделю лидирования «Poker Face» на первое место (в альбомном чарте Великобритании) вышел и альбом «The Fame»[16].

Just Dance был номинирован на «Грэмми» (Best Dance Recording), но уступил «Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger» (Daft Punk)[18].

18 февраля 2009 года Леди Гага вместе с Брэндоном Флауэрсом из The Killers и Pet Shop Boys выступила на церемонии вручения Brit Awards[19], где, в частности, исполнила партию Дасти Спрингфилд из песни «What Have I Done to Deserve This?»[20].

Первый тур Леди Гаги по Северной Америке начался 12 марта 2009 года; отзывы критиков на эти концерты были, в основном, восторженными.[21][22]

6 сентября 2009 года Леди Гага была официально объявлена «королевой скачивания» (Queen of Download) после того, как в списке «40 самых скачиваемых песен всех времён» (Top 40 Music Download Chart of All Time), опубликованном The Official Charts Company (и приуроченном к 5-летию со дня образования этой британской компании), «Poker Face» оказался на #1 (779 тыс.), а «Just Dance» — на #3 (700 тыс.)[23]. 25 сентября 2009 года альбом The Fame получил статус платинового в России.[24]

«Paparazzi»

В июне 2009 года Кэнье Уэст объявил о предстоящих совместных гастролях с Леди Гагой (отметив, что является большим поклонником её творчества)[25].

В начале июля 2009 года вышел сингл Леди Гаги «Paparazzi»; он поднялся до #4 в UK Singles Chart[26]. В ходе съёмок видеоклипа Леди Гага (которую «Гардиан», разместившая это видеоинтервью, называет «самой провокационной из поп-звезд») об истории создания «Paparazzi» сказала:

На создание этой песни изначально меня вдохновили <стилизованные под полицейские> фотоснимки некоторых очень знаменитых девушек Бонда. Тогда я поняла: слава — действительно форма искусства. Так что, это видео о трёх вещах: о смерти, о моде и о знаменитостях на продажу.[27]

Оригинальный текст  (англ.)  

When I originally wrote this record, I was inspired by mugshots of some very famous Bond girls. And I decided that there’s really an art to fame. So this video is about three things: death, fashion, and famewhoring.

При этом Леди Гага говорила и о других возможных интерпретациях текста:

«Я рада, что их несколько: в этом и состояла идея. Песня — о моих исканиях: чего я хочу: славы или любви?.. Песня — о любви к славе и любви: <в основе её — вопрос> можно ли получить и то, и другое сразу, или каждое возможно лишь по отдельности?»[12]

2009-10: The Fame Monster

Леди Гага на мероприятии «Monster Booth»

Первоначально предполагалось, что перевыпуск дебютного альбома The Fame будет реализован в виде обычного двойного диска, во вторую часть которого войдут треки, не включённые в основной релиз. Однако Леди Гага решила выпустить новый материал в формате EP, таким образом «перебросив мостик» от первого к следующему полноформатному альбому[28].

Релиз The Fame Monster EP состоялся 23 ноября 2009 года. В чартах многих стран он не появился (тиражи были суммированы с тиражами The Fame), исключение составили США, Канада и Япония.

Первым синглом из альбома вышел «Bad Romance»: он поднялся до #1 в Канаде и Бельгии, до #3 в Австралии, #2 в Billboard Hot 100[29], до #3 в Британии[30] и стал первым синглом певицы, поднявшимся на вершину российского радиочарта[31]. По результатам 2009 года Леди Гага стала самым ротируемым исполнителем в московском радиоэфире[32].

Альбом получил в чём-то противоречивые, но в целом высокие оценки критиков: в частности, Саймон Прайс (The Independent), Пол Лестер (BBC Music) и Китти Эмпайр (The Observer) сочли его оригинальным, крайне эксцентричным произведением, не являющимся формальным приложением к дебютному альбому, но имеющим несомненную самостоятельную ценность.[33]

31 января 2010 года на церемонии в лос-анджелесском Staples Center Леди Гага получила две премии «Грэмми»: за лучшую танцевальную запись года («Poker Face») и лучший альбом в жанре данс/электроника (The Fame)[34].

17 февраля 2010 года Леди Гага стала главной героиней прошедшей в Лондоне церемонии вручения Brit Awards: она победила в трех номинациях: «Лучшая зарубежная исполнительница», «Международный прорыв года» (International Breakthrough of the Year)[35] и «Лучший зарубежный альбом»[36].

«Telephone», второй сингл из The Fame Monster EP, записанный певицей при участии Бейонсе Ноулз, возглавил список Billboard Pop Songs (поднявшись в Hot 100 до #3)[37], а в конце марта 2010 года — и UK Singles Chart[38]. В марте, в интервью MTV UK, певица сообщила о начале работы над новым альбомом и о том, что «сердцевина его уже готова».[39] 16 апреля 2010 года было объявлено, что видеоклипы Lady Gaga собрали на YouTube и Vevo в общей сложности 1 млрд просмотров: она стала первой, кому удалось достичь этот рубеж.[40][41] В том же месяце журнал Time включил её в число «100 самых влиятельных людей года».[42]

В июне 2010 года Леди Гага в интервью Ларри Кингу на телеканале CNN сообщила, что врачи нашли у неё предрасположенность к системной красной волчанке, однако на тот момент волчанки у неё не было[43]. Осенью 2010 информация о болезни певицы снова начала обсуждаться в прессе[44].

В сентябре 2010 года на очередной церемонии MTV VMA Леди Гага выиграла в восьми номинациях, что стало рекордом премии. Тогда же она попала в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса как самая популярная женщина по количеству поисковых запросов в Интернете (ранее ей была Сара Пэйлин)[13]. В октябре 2010 года Леди Гага стала первым музыкантом, количество просмотров видеоклипов которого на YouTube превысило миллиард[45].

2011-12: Born This Way

К марту 2010 года в интервью MTV Соединенного Королевства Гага заявила, что она начала работу над своим новым студийным альбомом и уже закончила главную песню альбома. В сентябре она объявила название своего третьего студийного альбома Born This Way во время своей речи на церемонии MTV Video Music Awards 2010. Уже известно, что туда войдёт песня, которую Леди Гага исполняла в различных ток-шоу, а также на The Monster Ball Tour «You and I».[46]

Леди Гага официально объявила в своём Твиттере, что её новый сингл «Born This Way» выйдет 13 февраля 2011 года, а сам альбом — 23 мая того же года. 19 января 2011 года Леди Гага презентовала ремикс на показе мод в Париже, ремикс получил название Scheisse (нем. «дерьмо»). 11 февраля певица презентовала первый сингл Born This Way с одноименного альбома. 18 февраля певица в интервью Rolling Stone рассказала о шести песнях с нового альбома[47]. 28 февраля Леди Гага представила новый видеоклип на песню «Born This Way». 15 апреля состоялась премьера сингла «Judas». В этот же день Леди Гага в своём твиттере опубликовала обложку нового альбома. 9 мая был выпущен промо-сингл «The Edge of Glory», но из-за огромного количество положительных отзывов и хороших продаж, было принято решение сделать его полноценным синглом. 16 мая состоялась премьера промо-сингла «Hair». 19 мая альбом Born This Way был официально выпущен во Франции, но в первый же час после релиза благодаря интернету разлетелся по всему миру. Альбом получил положительные оценки критиков. За первую неделю было продано более 1,921 млн копий альбома.

Весной 2011 года появилась информация о том, что Леди Гага отдала свою песню «The Greatest Thing» (которая не вошла в дебютный альбом Гаги) певице Шер. В конце лета 2011 года информация подтвердилась. Изначально планировалось, что Гага запишет бэк-вокал для песни, но в дальнейшем Шер и Леди Гага записали дуэт. Песня «The Greatest Thing» войдёт в 26-й студийный альбом Шер.

15 августа Гага объявила через свой аккаунт в Твиттере, что она записала песню «PartyNauseous» с Кендриком Ламаром, которая станет третьим синглом из дебютного альбома Кендрика Good Kid, Mad City. Но 4 октября через LittleMonsters.com Гага попросила прощение у фанатов, сказав, что не смогла найти компромисс с командой Кендрика, поэтому песня не войдёт в новый альбом Кендрика и выйдет намного позже.

2013: Artpop

В ноябре 2011 года прошел слух, что Гага работает над новым альбомом. В январе 2012 года представитель Гаги в социальной сети Твиттер оставил сообщение о том, что Гага выпустит третий альбом в конце 2012 года. После этого Фернандо Гарибэй рассказал, что Гага вернется к звучанию и лирике альбомов The Fame и The Fame Monster и что на альбоме появится дуэт с Элтоном Джоном и Бейонсе. В июле Lady Gaga заявила что её новый альбом выйдет не раньше весны 2013 года. 4 августа Гага объявила, что её третий студийный альбом будет называться Artpop.

ЛГБТ-активизм

Леди Гага на митинге в поддержку прав человека в отношении геев и лесбиянок

Леди Гага известна своей активной позицией относительно прав человека в отношении ЛГБТ-движения. В частности, она активно выступала за отмену закона «Не спрашивай, не говори», который запрещал открыто признающим свою гомосексуальность людям служить в Вооружённых силах США. Так, на церемонию вручения наград MTV Video Music Awards 2010 (где она выиграла 8 номинаций) Леди Гага пришла в сопровождении эскорта военных, уволенных из армии из-за разглашения их сексуальной ориентации. А накануне обсуждения закона она обратилась к Сенату США с просьбой о его скорейшей отмене.

В марте 2011 года она расторгла сделку с крупнейшей американской корпорацией Target Corporation по продаже своего будущего альбома из-за поддержки кампаний гомофобных политиков[48].

Благотворительность

Помимо записи музыки Леди Гага поддерживает благотворительность и участвует в различных акциях. После землетрясения на Гаити в 2010 году Гага пожертвовала доходы от концерта в Radio City Music Hall в Нью-Йорке в рамках тура Monster Ball от 24 января 2010 года, а также доходы от её онлайн-магазина за тот же день; общая сумма пожертвований, по словам певицы, составила более 500 тыс. долл.[49]

Гага также участвует в кампании по борьбе со СПИДом и ВИЧ, просвещая молодых женщин об опасности заражения. Вместе с Синди Лопер и MAC Cosmetics она запустила линию губной помады под брендом Viva Glam, доходы от продажи этой помады компания направляет на борьбу с распространением ВИЧ.[50] В интервью Marie Claire Леди Гага пояснила: «Я не хочу, чтобы Viva Glam была просто помадой, которую покупают, чтобы помочь. Я хочу, чтобы вы помнили, когда идёте куда-то на ночь, что в сумочку рядом с помадой надо положить презерватив».[51]

В феврале 2012 года Гага в Гарвардском университете в штате Массачусетс открыла благотворительный фонд, названный в честь альбома Born this way. Программа фонда оказывает поддержку молодым представителям ЛГБТ, а также предполагает воспитание самоуважения и создания атмосферы терпимости в молодежной среде по отношению к гомосексуалам[52].

Социальная сеть LittleMonsters

10 февраля 2012 года Леди Гага запустила собственную социальную сеть LittleMonsters. Зарегистрированные посетители ресурса смогут делиться друг с другом фотографиями и роликами, «помечать» вызывающие у них интерес места и объекты, а также общаться с певицей по чату.[53]
