    Lady GaGa Admits Coronavirus Scraps Plan for Secret Coachella Set, Delays 'Chromatica' Release

    WENN

    Though believing that art can provide joy and healing, the ‘Born This Way’ singer says that ‘it just doesn’t feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Mar 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa is delaying the release of her new album after the coronavirus pandemic scuppered plans to promote “Chromatica” with a secret set at California’s Coachella festival.
    The pop superstar had previously hoped to unleash her new material on 10 April and make a surprise return to the stage at Coachella to celebrate its launch, but now the festival has been postponed until October, GaGa has had to rethink her whole marketing plan.
    In a lengthy note posted on social media on Tuesday, March 24, GaGa explains, “I wanted to tell you, that after a lot of deliberation, I’ve made the incredibly tough decision to postpone the release of Chromatica. I will announce a new 2020 release date soon.”
    “This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn’t feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic.”
    “I had so many fun things planned for us to celebrate together…,” she continues. “I had a secret Coachella set lined up, and a lot of other fun surprises, some of which I’m still planning to share with all of you very soon!”
    And while GaGa’s Las Vegas residency shows for 30 April to 11 May were recently put on hold, the singer hopes the current health crisis will have subsided by late May, allowing for her other gigs – as well as her Chromatica Ball summer tour – to go ahead as scheduled.
    The “Born This Way” hitmaker concludes the message by insisting Chromatica is “still very much on the way,” adding, “To my fans, I love you. I know you are disappointed. Probably angry and sad… I hope you can see that when the album does come out, I want us to be able to dance together, sweat together, hug and kiss each other, and make it the most bombastic (sic) celebration of all time And until that time comes, LET’S ALL STAY HOME!”

    GaGa is the latest artist to push back album release plans after Alicia Keys and HAIM also hit the pause button on the launch of their projects.

    Lady GaGa Admits to Thinking About Canning 'Stupid Love' After Leak

    Instagram

    Aside from sharing her thought on the online leak of her new single, the ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker opens up about spending two days in the California desert to film its music video.
    Mar 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa almost threw away months of preparation after a demo of her single “Stupid Love” leaked online.
    The singer dropped the track, the lead single from her upcoming album “Chromatica”, last month but, after the tune leaked online in January, GaGa almost canned the track altogether.
    “There was a minute where me and my manager, Bobby, were talking, ‘Do we change the single?’,” she said. “We’d just spent months and months developing this video and choreography. And I said, ‘Nope!’ ”
    “You know why? Because the song, when it’s mixed, mastered and finished with the visuals, and everything I have to say about it – when all those things come together at once, that will be the art piece I’m making. Not a leak.”
    Alongside the release, GaGa dropped an accompanying music video, shot entirely on an iPhone, featuring Gaga as a warrior leader, attempting to unite various tribes.
    The star recalled shooting the clip with 50 dancers for two days straight in the California desert, before reflecting: “The damn thing lasts three-and-a-half minutes!”
    “I want you to imagine people dancing for eight to 10 hours straight,” she explained. “I watched them work so hard – the blood and sweat. Scrapes from dancing in the desert or getting poked in the eye from a stud that knocked them in the face. They’re breathing in sand, they can’t see. The conditions alone were ridiculous.”

    “I told the dancers before we left for the desert, ‘This might be the hardest thing you’ve ever done, and if it’s not, I did it wrong. But you can do it, and when you look back on this time, you’ll remember how strong you are.’ ”

    Artist of the Week: Lady GaGa

    With her flamboyant stage show and costumes, as well as her music that resonates with young and old alike, the superstar sold more than 27 million albums in just a few years into her career.
    Mar 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa is truly one of the best pop sensations in this decade. With her flamboyant stage show and costumes, as well as her music that resonates with young and old alike, the superstar sold more than 27 million albums in just a few years into her career and has a massive, devoted fans called Little Monsters.
    Making a name for herself since her debut album “The Flame” in 2007, GaGa recently made a comeback with a new single entitled “Stupid Love”. The new song additionally marked her return to her theatrical pop root after she switched style on her last album “Joanne”.
    Considering this, it’s only natural that people were very hyped over her new single. “Stupid Love” debuted at No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100, becoming her sixteenth single to make it to the top five of the weekly chart. It also marked her highest-debuting entry since “The Edge of Glory” launched at No. 3 almost nine years ago.
    Not only doing well on music charts, but “Stupid Love” also received praises from critics. For instance, Harper’s Bazaar described the song as “upbeat cut with big vocals and dance and electronic-inspired production,” seemingly “poised to be another radio hit from the singer.”
    Meanwhile, Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic called the single a “glorious comeback” and a “return to form not only for the singer, but also for her genre.” Heaping praises for GaGa, he continued, “Gaga’s voice is so big and personable that a sense of humanity remains intact.”
    “Stupid Love” is set to be included on GaGa’s upcoming album “Chromatica”. She previously said of the record, “We are definitely dancing… I put all my heart, all my pain, all my messages from the other realm that I hear of… what they tell me to tell the world and I put it into music that I believe to be so fun and you know, energetically really pure. I want people to dance and feel happy. I would like to put out music that a big chunk of the world will hear, and it will become a part of their daily lives and make them happy every single day.”
    “Chromatica” will hit the stores on April 10.

    [embedded content]

    The much-anticipated visuals features two men fighting in a desert alien world before the pop superstar, who sports an all-pink ensemble, shows up to put an end to the fuss.
    Feb 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa is returning to her quirky musical roots. Following much anticipation, the pop superstar has released her first solo single in three years entitled “Stupid Love” along with its accompanying music video that finds her portraying a pink-haired extraterrestrial beauty.
    The visuals opens with an introduction that read, “The world rots in conflict. Many tribes battle for dominance, While the Spiritual ones pray and sleep for peace, and the Kindness punks fight for Chromatica…” The scene then changes to show two men fighting in a desert alien world until a pink-haired GaGa shows up to put an end to the fuss.
    In the music video, there are also scenes of the singer dancing while singing along to the song. “Now it’s time to free me from the chain/ I gotta find that peace, is it too late or.” she sings in the second verse. “Could this love protect me from the pain?/ I would battle for you (Even if I break in two).”
    Produced by BloodPop, “Stupid Love” serves as the lead single off GaGa’s upcoming sixth album that still doesn’t have a title nor a release date. Details of the album are also currently scarce as of now. It will be her first solo album since 2017’s “Joanne”, which debuted atop Billboard 200 and became her fourth album to top the weekly chart. Receiving positive reviews from music critics, it was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards while its title track won Best Pop Solo Performance.
    Last year, GaGa also won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media for her Bradley Cooper duet “Shallow” that served as the soundtrack to “A Star Is Born”. The song was additionally named Best Original Song at the 2019 Academy Award, earning GaGa her first Oscars win.

    Lady GaGa's New Single Is Days Away From Its Release

    Instagram

    Titled ‘Stupid Love’, the lead single of the ‘A Star Is Born’ actress’ long-awaited sixth studio album is set to be released on Friday, February 28, the singer has announced.
    Feb 26, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa’s fans wouldn’t have to wait too long for her new music. A little over a month after a snippet of the lead single from her sixth studio album was leaked, the “Bad Romance” hitmaker took to her Instagram to announce that her long-awaited single “Stupid Love” will be made available for listening within days.
    Through a post she made on Tuesday, February 26, the 33-year-old singer spilled that her lead single is set to drop two days later on Friday, February 28. ” ‘STUPID LOVE’ THE NEW SINGLE BY LADY GAGA OUT FRIDAY AT MIDNIGHT ET,” she wrote alongside a “LG6” hashtag and a photo of its promotional billboard that features sparkling pink lips.
    The release date announcement has driven many crazy with anticipation. Nicola Formichetti, a fashion and artistic editor who often collaborated with the “A Star is Born” actress, responded by writing, “Ok let’s go.” Hairstylist Fredric Aspiras declared, “LET’S GET STUPIDDD!!!!!!” YouTuber Jessie Paege exclaimed, “THE QUEEN IS BACK.” Another YouTube star Tyler Oakley gushed, “WE ARE READY.” MTV’s official account also shared the excitement, “OH YES YES YES YES.”
    A preview of “Stupid Song” has made its way online in late January. This leak version was said to deliver a vibe similar to GaGa’s 2011 “Born This Way” album. It includes lyrics that read, “You’re the one that I’ve been waiting for/ Gotta quit this crying/ Nobody’s gonna heal me if I don’t open the door/ Kinda hard to believe (Gotta have faith in me).”
    One fan who had caught the leak version raved, “Lady Gaga serving gay bop, heavenly vocals, born this way nostalgia, disco pop, 80s synths in one song… yeah everyone freaked out, everybody got down, everybody wants STUPID LOVE.” Another gushed, “I’m not embarrassed to say I was excited when I heard Lady GaGa was releasing a new song. But after my son played Stupid Love I dropped my lasagna in amazement!”
    GaGa herself has poked fun at the leak. Taking to Twitter to address the issue, the “Shallow” songstress posted a popular meme of a girl wearing a ski mask while listening to music with a note that read, “Can y’all stop.”

    Lady GaGa Shades Jennifer Lopez and Shakira Ahead of Super Bowl Halftime Show

    WENN/Adriana M. Barraza/Avalon

    The ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker takes a dig at the Super Bowl halftime show co-headliners, reminding the two female singers to sing live at the February 2 sports event.
    Feb 3, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa took a jab at Jennifer Lopez and Shakira ahead of their joint Super Bowl halftime show. “I better NOT hear any LIPSYNCING tomorrow!” the “Born This Way” hitmaker shouted during a performance at a pre-Super Bowl event in Miami.

    J.Lo and Shakira are set share the stage at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on February 2. They are expected to pay tribute to the late Kobe Bryant.
    The Sunday event will mark the first time two recording artists command the halftime show. The idea of joint concert came after NFL allegedly had trouble finding an A-lister who’s willing to do the show amid controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick.
    Pink, Jay-Z, and Rihanna were among those turning down the gig in support of Kaepernick. “I’d probably take a knee and get carried out,” Pink explained why she rejected the offer.
    Having two singers sharing a big stage was not without complications, however. Rumor has it, J.Lo and Shakira had an “icy” interaction ahead of the big show. J.Lo allegedly was not happy with the arrangement because she originally thought the show was hers alone.
    “There were initial plans for them to perform a significant portion of the halftime show together – but that’s out the window. As of now, they’re just planning to appear briefly together at the end of the set. There isn’t any real feud, but there’s definitely a chill in the air between the two stars,” an insider claimed.
    Lady GaGa herself headlined Super Bowl halftime show in 2017 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
