Lady Gaga and Spotify's Head of Global Editorial Sulinna Ong sat down for InStyle to talk about the upcoming Little Monster Press Conference, a fan-only event where Little Monsters can ask her anything. Gaga also dished on the creative process behind "Mayhem" and teased lyrics to two new songs. To read the interview in its entirety, click here. You can find highlights below. Gaga said that since the beginning of her career, community has been most important to her. The reason she wanted to do the press conference with Spotify was give her fan community a special opportunity to ask anything they may have wondered in the past two decades. "Feel free to ask me whatever you want!," she said. "We've been in this public conversation for a long time and I'm just so excited to talk to you." She went on to explain how she thinks some fans have missed her style of a "dark pop album," and she looks forward to putting "Mayhem" out because releasing an album allows an artist to reconnect with fans: "I made this for them." Calling the album a "return to an earlier process," Gaga revealed that "Mayhem" mixes live instrumentation and programming, which allowed her and her team of collaborators – Andrew Watt, Cirkut and Gesaffelstein – to create unique, never-before-heard sounds. Genre did not play as significant a role in the writing and recording process for "Mayhem" as it did in her other musical projects the past decade. "I would get seduced by making the album kind of homogenous, or on-theme. ... On 'Mayhem,' it was the opposite. I instead decided to allow myself the freedom to be chaotic with the genres and be chaotic with the choices as a way of celebrating the type of musician that I am." Gaga said "Mayhem" is a bunch of twisted, gothic dreams: "Some are true and some are not true, but they're somehow related to life." She cited "The Beast," the album's 12th song, as an example. The song, which she described as "me singing to a werewolf," features the lyrics: "You can't hide who you are, 11:59, your heart's racin', you're growling, and we both know why." She explained, "Somehow that gothic dream is not just about me in a relationship wit this person that's about to turn, but what if I was to just sing it to myself and the beast is Gaga?" The concept of duality is explored through the "Mayhem" era, from the multiple Gagas in the music videos for "Disease" and "Abracadabra" to the album track "Perfect Celebrity." Gaga expanded this duality by sharing a lyric from the upcoming song: "I've become a notorious being, find my clone, she's asleep on the ceiling." "It's the idea that we all, in a way, have our real selves and then our clone version that we project to the world," she explained. "So there's a lot in 'Mayhem' about multiple yous or multiple mes and what it's like to have those things be at odds with each other all the time."

With two weeks until the release of "Mayhem," Lady Gaga announced she will hold a first-of-a-kind press conference in conjunction with Spotify on March 6. The catch? Journalists aren't invited – the press conference will be exclusively for and with fans. Spotify Presents: Little Monster Press Conference will invite Gaga's top Spotify listeners in New York City to ask her about any and everything before dancing the night away to "Mayhem" in full. "I want you to ask me every burning desire of a question that you have," Gaga said in a video posted to Spotify's social media. "I can''t wait to celebrate 'Mayhem' with you, to talk about music, to talk about life. Whatever you want... (kind of)." The press conference will be simulcast on Spotify's Instagram, TikTok and YouTube accounts at 6 p.m. EST on March 6 for those not based in New York. To submit a question for Gaga, click here.

Lady Gaga has officially been announced as the main headliner of "Todo Mundo No Rio," the free concert taking place on May 3rd in Copacabana, at the presso conference for the event. Lady Gaga took to her social media to announce her return to Brazil after more than a decade. It's a great honor to be asked to sing for Rio--for my whole career the fans in Brazil have been part of the lifeblood of the little monsters. I've been dying to come perform for you for years and was heartbroken when I had to cancel years ago because I was hospitalized. Your understanding that I needed that time to heal meant the world to me. I am now coming back and I feel better than ever and am working so hard to make sure this show is one you will never forget. Get ready for MAYHEM on the beach. The event is expected to be one of the greatest show in the history of Brazil, with more than 1 million fans expected to attend.

Lady Gaga posted a new video from the Abracadabra rehearsal.

Lady Gaga took a lie detector test for Vanity Fair. You can watch the video below, and find some of her confessions afterward. Right off the bat, Gaga was asked about the long-awaited sequel to the "Telephone" music video, which ended with a "To be continued..." message. Gaga confirmed the sequel will be released, but she doesn't know when. When asked if Beyoncé will appear in the video, Gaga coyly answered "maybe," and she quickly confirmed the years-long delay was not due to scheduling conflicts with Beyoncé. When asked for an update on Jo Calderone, Gaga's male alter ego who debuted in the video for "Yoü and I," Gaga said he is "no longer with us." Gaga revealed she still has the egg she arrived at the 2011 Grammy Awards in, and that she keeps it in her archive. Then, when asked about the time she asked Cher to hold her meat purse at the Grammy Awards, Gaga said she believes it brought the two of them closer. Gaga has been very active on TikTok this era, and since the release of "Abracadabra" and its music video, Gaga has reposted fan videos on a daily basis. She admitted to spending up to four hours on the app in one sitting. Also, Gaga was able to confirm her performance with Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy for her Holiday Spectacular special did not inspire "3-Way (The Golden Rule)," her collaboration with The Lonely Island and Justin Timberlake for a "Saturday Night Live" digital short.

Lady Gaga made an appearance at the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special on February 16, 2025 in New York. Gaga walked the black carpet alongside her fiancé, Michael Polansky. Earlier this weekend, Gaga performed at the SNL50 concert event special.

Lady Gaga joined in the revelry on the 30 Rock stage during “SNL50: The Anniversary Special," which aired live on Peacock. She kicked off her performance at the piano with Andy Samberg in a "Shallow" parody that quickly pivoted into a duet-medley of the Lonely Island's "Dick in a Box," and "Motherlover." The eccentric sequence concluded with her at center stage sporting a wrapped gift box at her waistline—just like the sketch that the song references. Later in the evening's proceedings, she closed out the show under the spotlight, with solo version of "Shallow." This marked the star's fifth time performing on "Saturday Night Live," dating back to her first musical guest spot on October 3, 2009. Her most recent appearance was a cameo on Oct. 21, 2023 when she introduced Bad Bunny, who also rocked the mic during the night's events. Prior to the night's program, Gaga was spotted outside Radio City Music Hall signing autographs for excited fans. This SNL outing is the latest in a series of well-received performances from Gaga who, on Sunday, February 9, sang a touching rendition of "Hold My Hand" in a pre-Super Bowl tribute to the victims of the New Orleans attack on New Years Eve. The Sunday prior saw her and Bruno Mars deliver a duet of "California Dreamin' " at the Grammy's—the same night she debuted her rapidly chart-topping single, "Abracadabra," and the accompanying music video. “SNL50: The Anniversary Special," was produced by longtime SNL legend Lorne Michaels as well as Gaga's frequent collaborator and friend, Mark Ronson.

Lady Gaga was spotted in New York City on February 13, 2025 ahead of her performance for Saturday Night Live’s special 50th anniversary show. Gaga was spotted wearing an all black outfit while arriving to SNL rehearsals at Radio City Music Hall. View the full photo album here.

Lady Gaga is the latest guest host on First We Feast's Hot Ones. Check out the episode below. Lady Gaga made an appearance on First We Feasts' "Hot Ones", hosted by Sean Evans. The famous spicy chicken wing challenge navigates Gaga's early career, production and music. The episode, released on February 13, starts with Gaga speaking about the traits she looks for in music producers following the announcement of her seventh studio album MAYHEM. "Collaboration is super important, childhood spirit and musician ship... Wherever the music is, I'm about it." The 14-time Grammy Award winner spoke to Evans on writing 'Born This Way' in 10 minutes, where Gaga explains that for a lot of her songs, she hears them very quickly and just follows the sound. "It's a feeling of receiving." Gaga also credits her fans and audience in recognizing a good chorus. "Sometimes I know something's [the chorus] done cause that image feels whole to me, but you really don't know if something is good until the people tell you, and they will tell you." Midway through the spicy chicken wing challenge, the questions are kicked up a notch. Evans asks Gaga to reflect on her early-career and on-stage memories of performing on the lower east side of New York City. "I remember when me and Lady Starlight were given a residency at the Slipper Room and I was so excited, it was such an honour to be asked to perform there. I remember made my outfit for my Slipper Room show, I sowed it myself. I just look back at that time so fondly" she said. Evans appreciates Gaga's ability to balance high art and pop, Gaga responds "The music is something that you hear but when you add the art to it, it really changes the way you feel and changes the way you think about the song. It's awesome." Gaga ends the interview explaining that she always felt tested when facing whether or not she should walk away. "I'm still doing it, so it must mean I wanna do it."
