She also talked about the emotion she felt when performing the national anthem at Joe Biden's inauguration.
You can hear the full interview below. Skip to minute 16:00.
Gaga revealed she felt powerless over everything that was happening around the world. She also encouraged everyone to move and exercise so that they can have a more active life.
Here is an excerpt from the original interview:
The "Chromatica" singer, 34, told USA TODAY she shares what many people feel during this time: "an epic sense of powerlessness over what's happening in the world."
"We've encountered a super virus that is epic in its disastrous proportions," she said. "So that feeling of powerlessness in some ways is, I think, something that we all share."
The pandemic has energized her in other ways, though, adding that it has "really mobilized me to work on how I can help the world."
Gaga believes hopes it will be "one of the movements that is part of building back our global community and building back our local communities," by showing people that we "can get back to quote-unquote normalcy, but we must do it safely."
"It's been really important to me that I continue to move my body. It's really important for my mental health," she said. "So I've been doing, you know, regular exercises that I would normally do. But I mostly take walks, and I mostly hike. I wear my mask, and I go on hikes."
She said she "used to be really nervous about hikes" because of her chronic pain condition, but she's overcome her concerns.
"I found during COVID that... you can grab the courage that's happening in the universe and grab that bravery and put it right inside yourself and be fearless," she explained.
She hopes others stay active, whether through an online yoga class or a "walk around the block you live on," while the world is "in the midst of a mental health crisis."
"I really encourage people to move their bodies and be in the world. Wear masks, stay safe, but don't forget to move. Because when your energy's stagnant like that, it really can lead to mental health problems," she said. "I really believe that by practicing everyday skills... like moving your body, drinking lots of water, eating healthy, making sure to take care of yourself, self-care – these are things that we have to make sure that we're doing to take care of our minds."

The "coach" in the game is reminiscent of Lady Gaga in the Stupid Love music video. She has pink hair and accessories, as well as high boots and tribal markings. She can even be seen singing along to the song at various parts of the game. Some of the routine's choreography is based off of Lady Gaga's moves in the video.
The background gives off classic Chromatica vibes by taking place on a planet. There are robots and aliens scattered throughout the video.
The gameplay difficulty level for this routine is set to hard. There are two Gold Moves the player can accomplish.
Gold Move 1 where you clasp your hands together and rotate them and your head clockwise:
Gold Move 2 where you form an X with your arms over your chest and spread your legs:

Joe Biden and Lady Gaga In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the day before the 2020 preseidental election.
Lady Gaga has always used her fame, platform, and music to stand up for what she believes in. Since the beginning of her career, she has always been outspoken and forward with her political views. On top of this, she has also worked directly with some of the country’s most important politicians.
Her rise to fame really began during the first term of the Obama Administration. During this era, Lady Gaga spent a lot of time speaking and performing at many LGBTQ+ rallies. On top of this, she helped with the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in 2010. In 2011, during her revolutionary Born This Way era, Lady Gaga met with members of the Obama Administration to discuss initiatives regarding anti-bullying after one of her fans, Jamey Rodemeyr, committed suicide. She tweeted:
“Bullying must become illegal. It is a hate crime. I am meeting with our President. I will not stop fighting. This must end.”
After establishing a rapport with the administration, she continued to use her platform to talk about things that were important to her.
In 2014, the Obama Administration founded the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault. Joe Biden became a co-chair of the Task Force and began to publicly work and campaign for the cause calling it the “It’s On Us” movement.
In the summer of 2013, during her promotional release of her album, ARTPOP, Lady Gaga had revealed that she was sexually assaulted at the age of 19. The song, Swine, is about this and she began to publicly advocate on surviving such a traumatic experience.
Lady Gaga headlining the iTunes Festival in London on September 1st, 2013.
Continuing to spread awareness on the issue of sexual abuse, Lady Gaga teamed up with Diane Warren to write a song for the documentary, The Hunting Ground, a film about campus sexual assaults, which was released in 2015. Writing about her personal experience, Til It Happens to You, is about dealing with mental health and the thoughts and turbulations that happen in someone’s mind after a traumatic sexual experience. The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 88th Academy Awards in 2016, and out of all of the songs, Lady Gaga’s performance was kept for last as it was introduced by Vice President Joe Biden. He stated:
“Too many women and men, on and off college campuses, are still victims of sexual abuse. And tonight, I’m asking you to join millions of Americans, me, President Obama, the thousand students I’ve met on college campuses, and the artist here tonight. To take the pledge. A pledge that says: I will intervene in situations when consent has not or cannot be given. Let’s change the culture!”
After her momentous performance, Lady Gaga joined Vice President Joe Biden to help promote the It’s On Us movement. On April 7, 2016 she joined him at the University of Nevada Las Vegas as his campaign traveled through many college campuses. When asked about why he chose Lady Gaga as an ambassador for the cause, he said:
“Lady Gaga is brave and sincere. She is a survivor who has the courage to speak out, and I know how difficult it can be. We’ve talked at length, and I admire her courage – everyone can see it because it’s on display. She encourages so many other women to step forward.”
After being introduced, she performed Til It Happens To You, and then gave a speech stating:
“We have to support each other; we have to care for one another. And what I’ve learned is that the most powerful form of healing is compassion.”
Even after the administration had ended, Joe Biden and Lady Gaga continued to advocate for the It’s On Us movement. In 2017, they came together again to release a video urging people to take a stand against sexual assault. This was evident of the times as the #MeToo movement and the Time’s Up movement began gaining a lot of traction. These movements tackled the treatment, assault, and unfairness that women experience in Hollywood.
Never straying from sharing her political beliefs, the icon joined Joe Biden in 2020. This time as a presidential candidate during his presidential campaign in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was his final rally before the historic election and she performed her chart topper, Shallow, and hit single You and I. When speaking to the crowd she stressed the importance of the election as well as how Pennsylvania was a key swing state.
“I know I believe in Joe Biden…Because like me, you’ve experienced the last four years and have all the evidence you need to look at this choice and know in your heart without any doubt that Joe Biden is the right choice.”
She later takes a jab at presidential failure, Donald Trump stating:
“Everybody, no matter how you identify, now is your chance to vote against Donald Trump, a man who believes his fame gives him the right to grab one of your daughters, or sisters, or mothers or wives by any part of their bodies. Vote for Joe, he’s a good person.”
The last four years in the United States have been incredibly tumultuous. Even during a presidency and administration that did not approve or like her, Lady Gaga continued to inspire and use her voice for good.

It was announced that Lady Gaga was to perform the national anthem for the Biden-Harris inauguration on January 20th at 11:30 am ET.
And on January 20th, 2021 Lady Gaga performed a tear-jerking performance of, The Star-Spangled Banner, at the 46th President of the United States Joseph R. Biden's inauguration the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.
We are sure that her relationship with President Joe Biden will only grow and the two “buddies” will continue changing the world and helping those who need it.

The artist and founder of the Born This Way Foundation received the Yolanda Denise King "Higher Ground" Award for her activism during the summer of 2020 when tensions in the United States arose after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The #BlackLivesMatter movement is said to be the largest movement in history, and Lady Gaga addressed the movement and her support many times.
Prior to the event, Lady Gaga released a statement about the honour:
Gaga spoke about Unlearning and how important it is for white people to commit to it. "Black lives matter. Black life matters. Blackness matters. Black joy matters. White people, I believe that black life represents the best of our nation. And as white people I believe that we have a responsibility to unlearn, to accept the honest truth about the history of our country, admit that white supremacy makes us unhealthy, and change our own behaviours to contribute to a world where freedom is real for everyone."
The singer also denounced white supremacy: "Systems of white supremacy were designed by humans. They are literally socially constructed, which means they can be dismantled by humans. I believe that one way freedom can be possible is when white people accept that systems of oppression serve us while literally taking the lives of people of colour."
Gaga ended her speech with the following: "In the Beloved Community of our future, we, black, brown, indigenous, and white people, embrace our collective humanity. Let us use love, criticality, and empathy to pour water on the flames of hatred and division. Let us use honesty, radical acceptance, and measurable action, so that freedom is truly possible. With an open, humble, and fearfully optimistic heart, I invite all of us, and especially white people, to join me on the path to a beloved community. I believe that justice can finally begin to be realized, at least in part, when and if folks who look like me commit to a lifetime of unlearning. I love you. Thank you so much."

This ceremony, which was originally named The Salute to Greatness Awards, recognizes those on a national and international level who are committed to and have pursued the quest for social justice and peaceful change in the world. This event takes place annually in preparation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. Jennifer Hudson will present the Yolanda Denise King "Higher Ground" award to Lady Gaga. The Oprah Winfrey Network, Philanthropist Charles F. Feeney, and Mari "Little Miss Flint" Copeny are among the list of other honorees.
You can register for the free online event here, and follow TheKingCenter on Twitter for live updates.
Back in May 2020, Lady Gaga decided to raise her voice to speak about the ''systemic racism and corrupt systems that support it'' during the Black Lives Matter protests that took place after the tragic death of George Floyd.
''Right now is a critical time for the black community to be supported by all other communities so we can put a stop to something that is intrinsically wrong by the grace of God or whatever creator you do or do not believe in''
The next month, Lady Gaga decided to give away her Instagram account to some of the organizations she donated to, in an effort to amplify their voices, and some days later she appeared in Youtube's "Dear Class of 2020" revealing she had to rewrite her speech.
“You are watching what is a pivotal moment in this country’s evolution, you are watching society change in a deeply important way. This change will be slow, and we will have to be patient. But change will happen, and it will be for the better.”
Lady Gaga has continued to be a pioneer for universal social justice. Most recently, she has taken to Twitter to condemn the domestic terrorists that attacked the United States Capitol on January 6th and to demand the impeachment of President Trump.

Section 1 of the 25th Amendment states:
The vice president shall become president if the current one dies, resigns, or is removed from office.
Lady Gaga pointed out that this will not disqualify President Trump from running for reelection in the future, and that one of the ways lawmakers can prevent this is to push for impeachment. She continued on to say that he incited domestic terrorism with his extremist followers.
This tweet came after the US Capitol breach where President Trump and Rudy Guiliani (former Mayor of NYC and current legal team member for Trump) instigated mob violence that led to domestic terrorists rioting. Hundreds of nationalists and fascists broke into the United States Capitol building claiming election fraud and demanding President Elect Joe Biden not be sworn in. They wanted the Electoral vote count to be stopped. However, after the National Guard was called in and the city was put under curfew, the count continued and Joe Biden was officially certified the next President of the United States.
This domestic terrorist attack led to at least 5 dead, over 50 injured, and only over 65 arrests.
This is the type of violence Lady Gaga was referring to in her tweet and why she believes he needs to be impeached.

In the interview she talks about her mental health struggles, the production of Chromatica, working with Ariana Grande...and more!
You can watch the video below.
Thank you @lady_enigma_ for the video!
The magazine named Chromatica as one of the "20 Best Albums of 2020 by LGBTQ+ Artists."
They say of her sixth studio album: "A mainstream accolaid, there’s an undeniable flair associated with Gaga’s sized up camp electro-pop dominating tracklist. Chromatica was an unquestioned staple in and outside our office, and long stood as a maximalist playing field of feelgood pop and performance. Gaga skillfully wallows in the dark undertones of her galactic sonicscape, while smothering the record in personal pop synths and lyricists. Still, Gaga pulls off a gregarious record destined for sociable dancefloors and scream-along chorus’ at concerts. A top bid for 2020."
The website also named Rain on Me as one of the "20 Best Songs of 2020 by LGBTQ+ Artists."
They say of her duet with Ariana Grande: "We may have been stuck indoors for most of the year, but Mother Monster still managed to whisk us away to Chromatica. With a mammoth pop anthem like Rain On Me at the helm, it was the getaway we all sorely needed."
Lady Gaga has open about her sexuality since the start of her career. She has referenced being bisexual numerous times in various songs over the past decade. During the promotional period of her fourth studio album, ARTPOP, she answered a question about the authenticity of her orientation, “It’s not a lie that I am bisexual and I like women, and anyone that wants to twist this into ‘she says she’s bisexual for marketing,’ this is a f*cking lie. This is who I am and who I have always been.”
As a pioneer in queer activism over the past 12+ years, it only makes sense for Lady Gaga to be featured on both the Best Songs/Albums by LGBTQ+ Artists lists.

Over the years, Shallow has received tremendous success. First, charting at Number 1 in the United Kingdom and United States, to winning an Oscar. It has been charting almost every single week since its release spending a total inside the top 100 official singles for 89 weeks. During this time it has become the most awarded single of all time and one of the most streamed and downloaded tracks ever.
Despite falling from the official singles charts, it has never dropped outside the iTunes Chart 100 in the UK. Before the Christmas season, the movie A Star Is Born was added to Amazon Prime which saw the song lift even higher into the charts but was soon halted by the wave of seasonal favorites swamping Shallow back a bit. Since then, it has seen another rise and it is now at 34 which is it’s highest peak for 2020. It seems Shallow has cemented itself as a permanent hit and is continuing to sell and stream well. The song also hit one billion views earlier in December making it Lady Gaga's second video to do this.

Interviewing with Lady Gaga Today, Weiss shares his experience on what it was like crafting one of the three officially released remixes for Lady Gaga's catchy 911. He shares that his experience started in late September when his team presented the song to him.
He immediately began working on it and goes on to say that the song and the process of remixing it reminded him of the 90's because it was like:
"...when you'd have someone like Frankie Knuckles remix Madonna or someone like that."
He goes on to elaborate that it was important that the remix should differentiate from the original version of the song and that adding a more 90's house sound to the track was what he wanted. Weiss continues to share that he was very honored to be remixing a Lady Gaga song and that working with Lady Gaga's team was a pleasure.
When asked if he planned on working with her or anything related to her, he said:
"I got told they might be using my version from some of her live performances so that's pretty exciting"!

Returning to her roots, Lady Gaga began 2020 with the release of, Stupid Love, the first single off her newest album, Chromatica. The tumultuous year saw the release of the second single, Rain On Me, amid a global pandemic. However, this did not dim its success as the song debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The initial planned release of her new studio album did not go as planned as Lady Gaga decided to withhold her album to focus on helping the world during the pandemic as well as give space, time, and a platform for the #BlackLivesMatter movement that swept the United States in the spring and summer.
Norbert Schoerner

Reclaiming her throne as the Top Dance/Electronic Artist, Lady Gaga has achieved her goal of returning to her dance-pop roots. The charts indicate that the pop titan is able to masterfully keep her fans engaged as Rain On Me and Chromatica debuted at number one. Even her older music has been enjoyed by listeners as Poker Face, Bad Romance, and her debut album The Fame (2008) all have spots on Billboard’s 2020 year-end chart. Also, A Star Is Born continues to captivate audiences as it was the fourth best selling soundtrack of 2020. The single, Shallow, also continues to charm listeners as it just reached a billion views on YouTube last week.
In July, Bloomberg Magazine named Lady Gaga the world's biggest star due to the chart success and sales of her Chromatica album. It garnered 400,000 units in the album's first month. During that first month, she also became the most listened to artist on Spotify while simultaneously holding the number one spot on YouTube with almost 189 million views. According to ChartMasters.org, as of December 2020, Chromatica has achieved 680,000 units in the United States. Rain On Me has 542,000 units, Stupid Love is at 264,000 , and Sour Candy is at 194,000 units.
In Chromatica's first week, Billboard reports that it debuted with 274,000 units as well as having 87.16 million on-demand streams, which at the time was the highest numbers seen for a pop album. When interviewing about making the album, Lady Gaga said:
"I'm a savage when I want to write a pop song".

The last year has brought many challenges to everyone. It has been a difficult year for us here at Lady Gaga Now. The shock of having your life's work erased from existence brought me many challenges and left me in a position where I could really take the time to reflect on the future.
It's no secret that GagaNow made many enemies on its path to today, but I never thought they would harm the whole community. To be honest, the hate never bothered me as I'm a very positive person by nature. However, this time they hit at the core and it hurt. The pain presented me great difficulties, but also made me reflect about how I wanted to move forward. Everyone knows that I care about about Little Monsters' welfare, but most of all I believe in Lady Gaga's message of kindness and positivity. And so I decided to start everything again with a new purpose. I want this community to be kinder and open. I want your stories, art, and voices to be heard, and I hope I'll manage to give each one of you, the space and respect you all deserve. I want the intention of Lady Gaga Now to be the driving force in how it differentiates itself from its competition.
I do not think that what I do here is better than other places, it is just different. Different in its purpose.
With this new goal in mind the amazing team that worked so hard day and night to bring back everything in record time was able to recover more than 7 years of work in just 5 months. This includes all 140,000+ images in GAGAIMAGES, all the latest articles, and many more surprises that I will now briefly explain.
Thank you for sticking with us, I will forever be grateful for your endless support.
Thank you to everyone who sent donations to help us recover the website so fast.
Thank you to Lady Gaga's team, especially the superlative Bobby Campbell who believes in our community and gave me the strength to go forward.
Enjoy the journey and welcome back!

A New Domain
You might have noticed our website is now reachable at GAGANOW.NET. Starting from the new year we are going to slowly move from our previous domain ladygaganow.co. With this new rebranding, GagaNow.Net is will be our new official domain.
GAGAIMAGES is coming along, and will now be available at GAGAIMAGES.NET
The Dashboard
The new GagaNow homepage will be your new favorite homepage!
In this new one-in-all dashboard, you'll quickly find the latest news, upcoming events, the latest pictures on GAGAIMAGES, and the main feed from the forum. We also added a special place to highlight the most talented artist in this fanbase.
We will periodically sponsor the most talented monsters giving them a platform so they can be noticed and uplifted by others in the fanbase.
The Layout
The layout of a website is almost as important as its content. For a web developer like me, it has been so challenging to create a total new experience that still felt familiar. So I'm happy to show you the 3 new themes of GagaNow.net. You can pick them using the new button on the top bar.
The new Chromatica layout has been developed to give you the most colorful experience possible. Following the most modern Flat Style Design, this theme features a rainbow animation up to reflects Lady Gaga's latest album cycle.
If you are a person who loves options, you can explore Lady Gaga Now by changing it to the Dark Chromatica theme. Enjoy this dark fantasy with a layout created for viewing in low lit areas.
We also have a new theme called Day which is a fantastic way for you to experience the website as well in its lightest and fastest form.
The Forum
The creature that has been worked on the most is the forum. Thank you to a veteran monster, @Twitter, I've revamped our forum to give you a brand new, safe, and positive space to discuss your favorite topics. Kindness is the key here at Lady Gaga Now does not allow any forms of racism, xenophobia, discrimination. Anything deemed as bullying or hateful will result in consequences. We are here to uplift, inform, and experience together.
Joining discussions on the forum will also grant you special powers on the community, such as lifting the download limit on Gagaimages, the possibility to use GIFS or a cover picture on your profile and gain access to a special section on the gallery.
Lady Gaga Now + The Mighty
I'm very proud of this one.
In the last few months we have lost one too many Little Monsters due to suicide. It is incredibly heartbreaking to read their story for such a long time and having the knowledge that it is now too late to do anything. The truth is that it is never too late to help the others. I've seen with my own eyes that this fanbase has a good and kind soul. Monsters writing "my dms are open" or "please talk to me if you need to", are the the ones who embrace better the spirit and message of Lady Gaga and Lady Gaga Now. I've been working hard to give a safe space and a voice to those fans who might need support and do not know where to find it. We want to help as much as we can.
Thanks to our friends at the Born This Way Foundation, we were put in contact with The Mighty so we are now able to offer a safe place. The Mighty is an association and an online community whose main goal of giving a space to people who are in need, want to share their stories, and want to be heard. Thanks to their amazing community, hundreds of people have been able to support each other by joining the online video groups and message groups.
Lady Gaga Now will now offer a similar experience in the forum. It is an extension provided by The Mighty community. I'm also working on an anonymous way of posting so that those who are more shy can feel comfortable. For now, you can still share your story behind your private account.
More details of our collaboration with The Mighty will come soon.
In the meantime join their community, or download their mobile app. It's really worth it.
The Forum Game
We are here to keep you engaged!
At first I thought leaks and outtakes was the best way to keep people interested, but following the Billboard news-drama that I delivered back in January, and the sudden leak of Stupid Love I didn't feel comfortable anymore about sharing details about upcoming plans as Lady Gaga Now is a respectful place to everyone, including Lady Gaga and her team. So I decided to step back and give you guys something with a real value: prizes.
Starting January 2021, the forum will host a new type of giveaway:
Every two weeks, the most active user will receive a special prize from us. The two most active users will receive a Golden Pit Standing tickets to the Chromatica Ball in Paris each.
To join the game, you simply have to post and reply on our forum. Each new topic will grant you 3 points, replies and positive reactions will grant you 1 point. Posting in the Mental Health section will grant you 5 points for each new topic, and 3 points for each answer.
Spamming, receiving negative reactions, or posting toxic comments will make you loose points or get disqualified from the game. The users atop the leaderboard will win one prize from the drawing. A small leaderboard will be always available on the dashboard and on the forum. Our LGN Mobile App will feature a complete leaderboard.
Each user can win up to 1 prize during the whole game. However, even those who already won something can still win the final prize.
The game is open worldwide. The tickets will be delivered on the venue to ensure that they don't get resold. If the concert will get cancelled we will try to find replacement prizes. We reserve the right to cancel a win at any time.
Here are the prizes.
The Gallery
GAGAIMAGES is back! The original and most updated Lady Gaga gallery on the whole web is now available for everyone to use.
The main set of pictures will be available to everyone for free. Candids and pictures from the events will be available only to users with an active account on the website. All pictures have now been resized to deliver a faster experience, so do not worry if you open a picture and it doesn't looks massive as before. The original pictures are always available after you'll click the "download button".
To avoid batch downloading I set a limit to 50 daily downloads and 5GB of traffic from each user. The limits resets every 24 hours.
The MEME section is also back, feel free to upload all the gaga-related memes in your gallery!
Thank you to my new team of collectors @hiimer0s, @Pabllo, @GagaXCollection, @Juan & @dayvisxn for helping me re-upload and re-ordering ALL albums by date. This fanbase should make you all a statue!
Also, you might want to look at some albums in the next day, you might find some surprises.
The App
The LGN Mobile App will soon be back online on the App Store as well as for Androids in the Play Store along with the loved notification system.
Unfortunately Apple reviewers are on holiday, so the app will be on again from earlier January. But don't worry, as soon as it will be operative we will start working on it to make the mobile experience even bigger with games, a gallery, and much much more!
The Welcome Back Giveaway
To celebrate the re-opening of Lady Gaga Now, we teamed up with Instagram artist GagaStackFigure to gift you an exclusive Lady Gaga action figure. We will randomly pick a user that will join our forum starting today to December 31. You must follow GagaStackFigures on Instagram as well.
The user will be picked on Instagram and the figure will be sent later in January as soon as Amaury, the artist, will print his next creation.
Good luck!
You
I really hope you guys enjoy the new website, I developed everything with love. I really can't wait to hear your feedbacks. Your messages and reviews are always welcomed, just like your help. The leak section has been moved under "contact us", a new section that everyone can use to reach out to us, wether is to ask for help, send us media or let us know about something we missed.
What's Coming Next
There is always something to do. Ideas keep coming and the Lady Gaga Now team take all of our projects incredibly seriously. We are about them and put our everything into it. We are working hard to bring back our merchandise shop so that we can give platforms to young designers. We just ask you to be patient, many other stores have popped up, and many other will come, but we assure you that the quality you'll find with us won't be available elsewhere.
With that said, we have many secret projects coming soon! And with new Lady Gaga music on the way in the new year we hope we will manage to keep you guys entertained!
Thank you everyone, Stay safe.
Thank you to my LadyGagaNow family
Without you, I would be nothing. Thank you for allowing me to sleep at night.

The records are:
- Most Money Raised for Charity by a Remote Music Festival
- Most Musical Acts to Perform at a Remote Music Festival
Instead of releasing her sixth studio album, Chromatica, on its scheduled date, Lady Gaga pushed it back in favor of curating the giant online benefit concert in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This remote music festival with 72 celebrities brought in $127,900,000 to support efforts by the COVID-19 Solidaritthe Response Fund for the World Health Organization.
Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said of the concert: "The One World: Together at Home special was an extraordinary response to an extraordinary situation. It demonstrates vividly how the power of music can unite us all and help us through challenging times. It's an honor to be able to officially recognize this unforgettable, "I-Was-There" event as a record-breaker.”
With these two added, this brings Lady Gaga's Guinness World Records count to 14.

The A Star Is Born (2018) single that earned Lady Gaga an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2019 continues its successful run with what is now Lady Gaga's second video on the platform to reach one billion views. The song also earned Lady Gaga a Golden Globe for Best Original Song, a BAFTA for Best Film Music, as well as three Grammy nominations. It won two for Best Pop Duo/Group and Best Song Written for Visual Media. Including these and many other awards, Shallow is the most awarded song of all time.
The success of the rock ballad really culminated during award season in 2019 when it won various prestigious awards, was performed live at the Grammys, and when Lady Gaga performed it live at the Oscars with Bradley Cooper for the very first time. This all followed the song hitting number one on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as reaching number one in multiple countries including the UK and Australia.

The release of Lady Gaga's Chromatica in May of 2020 ushered in a new era and brought the pop icon back to her dance-pop roots. As is tradition, a collector's edition of the album has been revealed and is available through FNAC by the French company IICONI.
This edition consists of a Chromatica frame and with the IICONI app, anyone can use their phone to tap the box to scan which grants access to a digital version of the album.
"The application offers a unique journey to the heart of Chromatica, a discovery or rediscovery of the album with a selection of video and photo content, documents, exclusive texts, as well as news."
This new way of accessing the world of Chromatica virtually retails for 60 euros.

Prior to the performance, Clarkson spoke about how Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, had recently covered the song themselves. Brooks stated an audience member requested he and his wife sing it, and he felt enticed to do it. His wife had seen the movie, and while he had not, he said the opening chords drew him in, "That's every country song and James Taylor kind of mixed."
"I love it," Clarkson said in return.
Brooks then invited Clarkson to try their hand at performing the song together (2:15):
This is not the first time Clarkson has praised and covered Lady Gaga. Throughout the past decade, Clarkson has been known to sing various Gaga songs at her concerts such as "You and I," "Bad Romance," and now most recently "Shallow."
