Lady Gaga attended a special screening and held a discussion for her new film 'LADY GAGA IN HARLEQUIN LIVE – ONE NIGHT ONLY' at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles on December 18. The screening marks the world premiere of the long-awaited 'Harlequin' secret recording, which filmed last year at The Belasco. The album is nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards. During a question-and-answer segment, Lady Gaga revealed that she set up recording studios in hotel rooms while on tour this year. Although no official release date was confirmed, the film was teased as a "Christmas gift" for fans. Stay tuned for a very Harlequin holiday.

Lady Gaga has had a monumental 2025, and she's showing no sign of slowing down. Today, Dec. 18, 2025, she appeared on Zane Lowe's Apple Music radio show to round out the year. It is Gaga's second time chatting with Lowe this year, the first being back in March during the "MAYHEM" release week. She denied rumors about a new tour, but she teased the possibility of new music in the new year. Watch the interview here, and read some of the highlights below: On the MAYHEM Ball: While she denied rumors about continuing the MAYHEM Ball past April 2026, Gaga said she's had the most amazing time reconnecting with fans every night of the tour. She noted that while it's a choreographed show, there's "a ton of room" for her to tell the story differently every night. On the possibility of new music: Gaga confirmed she was in the studio this week and has "been making a lot of music." "It's kind of the best making music when you get to see your fans every night, because you're energetically just right where you need to be," she said. When asked about releasing new music next year, Gaga said, "It really depends on how I keep going with writing, but it's not out of the question." The Weeknd came up after he posted a no-context image of Gaga earlier this week, sparking collaboration rumors. Gaga did not confirm or deny the rumors and said, "I love Abel! That's all I can say." On the reception to "MAYHEM": Gaga noted how cool it is to see "MAYHEM" connect with audiences. She said that while some of her records have resonated with her fanbase and others have resonated more with the general public, it's a "special feeling" to make a record that connects with both at the same time. On the Grammy Awards: With next year's 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Gaga nabbed the most nominations at one ceremony in her career, for both "MAYHEM" and "Harlequin." She said she feels grateful for all the different genres and "pockets" of music she gets to play in because it's like "jumping into different galaxies, and you can really get lost somewhere else completely." On artificial intelligence in music: When Lowe mentioned his dislike for the increasing development of artificial intelligence in pop music, Gaga echoed his sentiment: "Being a human being I don't think is going to go out of style anytime soon. I certainly hope it's not. That's at the core of, I think, the way we understand each other, the way we communicate."

Lady Gaga’s exclusive concert film, LADY GAGA IN HARLEQUIN LIVE – ONE NIGHT ONLY, will premiere tomorrow night in Los Angeles as a one-night-only cinematic event. Directed by Lady Gaga alongside her partner Michael Polansky, the special was recorded in October 2024 at The Belasco in downtown Los Angeles, shortly after the release of Joker: Folie à Deux. Marketed as a companion project to the film, the performance sees Gaga returning to jazz standards, delivering covers of classics such as “Oh, When the Saints” and “That’s Entertainment!” She also released a new single for the project, “Happy Mistakes,” which she recently performed live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This event marks the first time Lady Gaga will perform the full album publicly and on screen at the GRAMMY Museum. Fans can purchase tickets starting today, December 17, at 5:00 PM PST, via the official ticket link. Tickets are non-transferable.

Lady Gaga took to Instagram to tease that the long-awaited secret live recording of her 'Harlequin' album will be coming soon. The special concert took place at the Belasco Theater in October 2024, following the Los Angeles premiere of 'Joker: Folie à Deux'. Described as a "companion album" to the movie, the album received a nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 2026 GRAMMYs. Read more of our spoiler synopsis here.

Lady Gaga shared some of the most influential songs that have soundtracked her life in Rolling Stone's new series "My Life in 10 Songs". Watch the video and read about her choices below. 1. Bruce Springsteen – "Thunder Road" "Springsteen has influenced me my whole career. My album 'Born This Way' was heavily influenced by Bruce Springsteen. Bruce had a very particular grit and soulfulness, and when I was making 'Born This Way' I thought a lot about how to incorporate who I really am into my music, even more than I did during 'The Fame'. 'The Fame' was an album that was more about my dream for myself; 'Born This Way' was more of an album that was looking back on a particular time in my life. I think I fell in love with New York all over again through Bruce's music because of the proximity to New Jersey and that whole area. […] I remember feeling like I was learning about my dad through the song because my dad is from New Jersey, and Bruce is from Jersey." 2. Beck – "Nicotine & Gravy" "For me, 'Nicotine & Gravy' really spoke to who I was as a 19 year-old living on the Lower East Side and kind of getting my kicks with the locals. I looked back on it, going like, 'Oh [Beck] changed'. I would say the way it affected my life the most is that watching Beck change made me feel like I wanted to change." 3. Carl Bean – "I Was Born This Way" "I was so inspired by that song. I heard and I was like, 'I wonder if there's a way to flip this into a modern pop record'. […] It's so meaningful to me too because the entire energy around 'Born This Way', my song, entirely depended on that song. The genesis of it gave way to something that I think for me is the most important record of my whole career, not just for me artistically but for what it means. And every night that I play it, I think about Carl Bean and I think about 'I Was Born This Way'." 4. Iron Butterfly – "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" "I had been writing songs that were kind of fantasy with nonsensical words in it, and my mom was like, 'You have to hear this song'. I think they were really drunk in the studio and trying to sing "in the garden of eden" and then it came out as "in-a-gadda-da-vida", and then they kept it that way. So I always thought it was really cool and I know it stuck in the back of my mind that you could make a hit record with words you make up. That definitely stayed with me with through all my music, and made a comeback for 'Abracadabra'." 5. David Bowie – "Watch That Man" "I had this conundrum as a young person, where I was a little too, or not enough, something. [Lady Starlight] said to me, 'You know, David Bowie was very theatrical. And he's David Bowie'. I started to try to understand him as an artist and delve into his music. […] I had such a dream of making something of myself, that it became kind of this pump-up song for me. My love of David Bowie just deepened from there, but I would say that this was one of the first songs." 6. Heavy Metal Kids – "Hey Little Girl" "When you find records that help you understand or see yourself, or they become the soundtrack to you and your friend group, that's pretty powerful. There was this idea that you could be kind of rough around the edges and still glamorous, and at the time that meant a lot to me because I didn't have much to offer other than the music I was making and all the jobs I was working." 7. Stevie Wonder – "Superstition" "Particularly from 'Superstition', that bass line is one of the most exciting bass lines I had ever heard in my whole life. I started thinking about music differently. Listening to Stevie Wonder helped me think about how I could compose differently. It's like that kind of music you have to let seep into your bones and your soul until it finds its way into something true and authentic to you. I definitely I had my moments on 'MAYHEM' where I was thinking about him." 8. Carole King – "Tapestry" "When I was really bullied in high school, I listened to Carole King's music and I always felt her voice and her songs are like a warm hug. And I think because I played piano and I wrote songs that I saw a path for myself and I just really looked up to her. […] I would say another thing that Carole King taught me was it can be good to think about another artist when you're writing; imagining a super-star singing the song. Because I'll go, 'Is this good enough for someone else?' What might be good enough for me may not be good enough for someone else." 9. Dinah Washington – "What a Diff'rence a Day Made" "I sang it a lot in my jazz shows, but I didn't sing it on tour with Tony Bennett. I kind of discovered it later. I think I found a bit of myself as a solo jazz singer, without Tony, with that song, just personally. […] I would say 'What a Diff'rence a Day Made' was extremely important to me because it was Dinah's charts that I sang when I first did it, and it was kind of, what was my voice without Tony, when I was just starting to do that." 10. Miles Davis – "So What" "This is another great segue into how I learned as a young artist that it's about how you think about music, and everybody can think about music differently. It was the way Miles thought about music that I was really moved by as a young person. His album 'Kind of Blue' was critical, and this was long before I ever met Tony, and it was much earlier in my life." 11. The Rolling Stones – "Sympathy for the Devil" "To me, 'Sympathy for the Devil' had a speed of rock-and-roll that I hadn't heard before. When I say different speed of rock-and-roll, it was also so different from Led Zeppelin and 'Whole Lotta Love'. 'Thank You' was a softer record, but it didn't have this same kind of coolness that 'Sympathy for the Devil' has; 'Thank You' was more like a sincere love song. Pink Floyd were more hallucinogenic in their music. 'Money' was one of the first records I remember listening to. My dad put it on and I said, 'Dad, is that cash register?' And he said yes, and I was like, 'But why? It's music'." 12. Led Zeppelin – "Thank You" "I love 'Thank You' by Led Zeppelin because they have this razor-sharp, loud, just kind of epic music. And then 'Thank You' is just like quieter. And it's pretty. And it's so sincere. It was kind of like learning the unobtainable rock-and-roll God could really love you. There was like a human-being underneath the legend of it all. The idea of drama and theatricality in music, and then sincerity, I think those two things kind of yin-yang for me." 13. She Wants Revenge – "Tear You Apart" "'Tear You Apart' by She Wants Revenge is a song that I just fell in love with when I was like 18 years-old. At that same time, I was really into The Cure. This kind of more electronic thing was starting to percolate for me. I think something about living on Stanton Street and the clubs I was going to. What's funny is that the clubs I was going to, a lot of them were playing metal records, but I would listen to She Wants Revenge and The Cure and Depeche Mode when I was at home. That was kind of my internal soundtrack to what the DJs were playing." 14. The Cure – "Never Enough" "My favorite The Cure song was 'Never Enough' and I am obsessed with the production on that song. I love the song also, but the production on it is something else. I also think I related it to that time in my life I couldn't stop partying. I mean I was writing songs then partying, like on a loop. So I think that song was kind of like the soundtrack to my routine." 15. Justice – "Stress" "I put 'Stress' by Justice on here too because French-electronic music was something I discovered more when I moved to California. […] I put that record on here because I can't even actually think of a time in my career that I didn't think about Justice when I was making music. It had to do with that unique specialness; that thing that only they had."

Spotify has unveiled a “paws up” statue on Copacabana Beach in Brazil to celebrate Lady Gaga’s remarkable year on the charts.  Early this morning, Brazilian fans discovered a new statue on their favorite beach. Spotify installed the “paws up” tribute to celebrate Lady Gaga’s achievements this year, which include her hit album MAYHEM, worldwide singles like “Die With a Smile,” “Abracadabra,” and “The Dead Dance,” one of the highest-grossing tours of her career that is still running, a Coachella performance, and her unforgettable record breaking show on Copacabana Beach. In May, Lady Gaga set the record for the most attended concert by a female artist in history with an audience of 2.5 million fans at her Copacabana show. For one unforgettable night, fans from around the world filled the beach to welcome her back after 12 years away from the country. The free concert was widely praised by global media and left a lasting mark on the nation, becoming a cultural phenomenon known for its imagery, staging, and iconic outfits. It is not yet known how long the statue will remain on display, but fans in Brazil can enjoy it while it lasts and can also scan a QR code that features a special message from Lady Gaga herself.

Lady Gaga returned to chat with Stephen Colbert and take part in the “Colbert Questionert”, a segment where Stephen asks guests a series of personal questions. Watch the interview below to learn about her favorite sandwiches, the animal she finds the scariest, and her favorite scent.

Lady Gaga will appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on December 1 to take the "Colbert Questionert". The segment will air on CBS at 11:35PM ET. Lady Gaga last appeared on the show earlier this fall to perform an acoustic version of "Vanish Into You" and discuss her latest album, MAYHEM.

A week after she scored seven nominations at the 68th Grammy Awards, Lady Gaga graced the cover of Rolling Stone's December magazine to talk about "MAYHEM," finding love and touring. This marks Gaga's fourth time on the cover of the magazine and her first since 2011. Read the cover story here, and check out some highlights below. On mental health Gaga opened up about the mental health struggles she faced after the release of "ARTPOP" in 2013. She said "ARTPOP" altered the trajectory of her career because it "was the first time that [she] ever had major criticism about a piece of work" she made. From there, she discussed how her mental health problems continued through the next decade. She said she did "A Star is Born" on lithium, a powerful mood stabilizer, and had a psychotic break after filming on the Joanne World Tour: "I needed to take a break. I couldn't do anything ... I completely crashed. It was really scary. There was a time where I didn't think I could get better. ... I feel really lucky to be alive." She continued to say she doesn't think she "was doing very well" during the filming of "House of Gucci," and spoke about how "Chromatica" is "very literal" because it's all she had: "I didn't have a lot of the same type of poetry inside of me because I sort of lost it." This concept is explored in the "Disease" music video, which she said "is so deliberately about somebody that wants to harm you – and it being you." After filming it, she said she went into a dark place that revealed to her that she was not done healing. Thankfully, she now considers herself "a healthy, whole person," thanks in part to "MAYHEM": "One of the things I'm most grateful for is gaining all my artistic faculties back to make this record. I had to dig very, very deep, and I had to change a lot of my life and recenter around what I needed as a human being." On being in love Another factor in getting her back on track is her relationship with Michael Polansky, about whom she said, "Being in love with someone that cares about the real me made a very big difference." It's Polansky who told her she needed to reclaim her music, and in the process, she asked him for his input. Polansky is credited as a co-writer on six "MAYHEM" songs, which surprised him because his contributions were not intentional. "It was very touching to me that she wanted to acknowledge me," he said. Andrew Watt, a close collaborator through the "MAYHEM" sessions credited Polansky with being a crucial stabilizer in the recording process and said he has "that all-knowing Buddha-type energy." In turns out she secretly had another business venture with Polansky as she co-founded and sits on the board of directors of Outer Biosciences, a skin-health research firm that Polansky said "was her idea." "When she talks about us being partners, it kind of looks like it all goes one direction, but she's the most incredible support to me as well," he said. They plan to get married soon, and Gaga added that "being a mom is the thing [she wants] the most." On the MAYHEM Ball The narrative of MAYHEM Ball, Gaga's largest and longest tour in a decade, is a dream-logic version of parts of her real life. She broke it down and said the show starts with Mayhem, "the most egocentric side" of her, that announces she's the queen with a desire of torturing the younger version of herself "as a way of teaching her how to be great." The Mayhem character's plan doesn't go as planned, though. "I decided I wanted to make it something that everybody could understand and love," she said, "and it didn't have to be the most dark thing that I'd ever created. Isn't that Mayhem talking? 'I have to be dark.' And, like, what is that in me that I have to be the toughest or the most edgy?" While she still panics at the start of every show, but "the rehearsal of self" saves her and puts her back in the moment.
