‘Paparazzi’

Clocking in at over seven minutes long, the music video for “Paparazzi” is practically a short film in itself!

“The world wasn't ready for her... now she is one of the most iconic celebrities,” one fan noted.

“I remember being in 9th grade when paparazzi came out,” one fan shared. “Literally everyone in my school talked about her. This song really changed me when I first heard it on the radio and later watched the MV. Seeing art in its rawest form when you're young really changes your artistic perspective. The first time I resonated with an artist so deeply and I could not explain why. I really started embracing my unique ideas in my artworks without any hesitation. She literally created an art revolution from 2009!”

“Lady Gaga isn’t just an art,” another wrote. “She’s a whole museum.”

‘Anything Goes’ Featuring Tony Bennett

“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” shared a sneak peek of their performance from “One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.” Although Bennett is 95 years old and struggling with Alzheimer’s, many fans couldn’t help but notice that he’s still got it!

“Completely delightful,” one fan wrote. “How much respect and joy Lady Gaga has performing with this living legend is a pleasure to watch.”

“Anyone who enjoyed this needs to watch the 60 minutes piece about this concert,” another shared. “Jaw-droppingly incredible and moving.”

“Crying and smiling and feeling inspired and happy and heartbroken….we are so blessed to have artists like this, bring us all these emotions and joys!” another shared.
