À propos de cet audio

 From her outrageous fashion to chart-topping dance-pop anthems, Lady Gaga epitomizes the ambitious performer unafraid to push creative boundaries. Ranking among the best-selling musical artists in history with 12 Guinness World Records, Gaga carved space redefining artistry for a new generation of outsiders. This is her story. 1986-2004: Formative Years Born Stefani Germanotta on March 28, 1986, she grew up in Manhattan as the eldest child of Cynthia and internet entrepreneur Joseph Germanotta. A piano prodigy from age 4, Gaga attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart school where she played lead roles in productions like Adelaide in “Guys and Dolls.” Though bullied for her eccentricities, young Stefani found refuge in creative arts and spent weekends performing in NYC clubs as a teenager. By 17 she was admitted early to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU before dropping out at 19 to pursue music professionally. Her college boyfriend inspired the name “Lady Gaga” after the Queen song “Radio Ga Ga.” 2005-2007: Career Beginnings Lady Gaga spent years hustling as an unsigned artist and songwriter, refining her sound and building her team called “Haus of Gaga.” She absorbed diverse influences ranging from David Bowie and Queen to Madonna and the Scissor Sisters. As one of the only female artists producing her own electronic dance tracks, Gaga cut her teeth in small clubs while penning songs for established artists to pay bills in hopes of being signed someday herself. Her flair for fashion also attracted creative collaborators early on. Paired with emerging designer friends specialized in leather, fishnets and spike studs, Gaga cultivated an androgynous electropop aesthetic unlike anything in pop. The more Gaga merged trashy glam fashion with pulsing darkwave beats, the more her captivating performances made waves across downtown NYC clubs, building key industry buzz. In 2007 hip producer Akon discovered Gaga’s three-song demo and promptly signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution under Interscope. She dropped out of a touring production to migrate to Los Angeles so Akon and producer RedOne could nurture her debut album vision to fruition. 2008: The Fame Release Brings Stardom On August 19, 2008, Lady Gaga's first studio album “The Fame” dropped led by cornerstone singles “Just Dance” and “Poker Face.” The infectious dance tracks showcased her knack for catchy melodies with a quirky theatrical spin. Media and clubgoers quickly gravitated toward this colorful new persona and pop fantasy world she created around themes of sex, money and self-image. “The Fame” album went on to sell 15 million copies worldwide. Its glossy visual aesthetics in music videos directed fame-hungry youth culture yet sagely warned about its darker facets too. Lead singles hit #1 across global charts, gaining Gaga opening slots on arena tours with New Kids on the Block and the Pussycat Dolls. Suddenly this pop outsider emerged leading the vanguard and defining a new cultural decade to come. 2009-2011: Becoming a Global Icon Lady Gaga spent 2009 promoting “The Fame” around the world before dropping a surprise extended play sequel “The Fame Monster” right before embarking on her first headlining tour “Monster Ball.” Hit singles “Bad Romance” and “Telephone” featuring Beyoncé continued displays of her avant garde fusion of Deep House beats with sugary choruses - now accentuated by her increasingly avant-garde fashion. From elevated shoulder pads and gravity-defying heels to raw meat dresses and gigantic egg incubation vessels at red carpet events - Lady Gaga constantly challenged taboos around identity, sexuality and presentation through her sci-fi couture. And her Little Monster fans passionately embraced the invitations for bold self-expression her art extended across the globe. By 2010, Gaga stood as the most followed person on social media, named by Time as among the world’s most influential people. Achieving such intense fame at 24 fueled growing pains, however. Incessant touring exhausted Lady Gaga with damaged relationships, loneliness, substance struggles and worsening mental illnesses in her late 20s. But true to form, the pop maverick converted such tumult toward her craft - entering her most theatrical, introspective era yet in 2013. 2013-2014: Shifting Toward Experimentation The year 2013 brought Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated third studio album “ARTPOP,” catapulting an EDM-infused multimedia experience accompanying a feature-length film, mobile app and more. Lyrically “ARTPOP” revealed more intimate insecurities than ever before amidst swirling sonic psychosis and vocal acrobatics. From pop art rave anthems like “Applause” to tear-stained confessions like “Dope” - Gaga threw open vulnerable doors on the darker sides of fame. If “ARTPOP” as an album confused some expecting safer radio fare, no such concern plagued her 2014 jazz duets project with ...2024 Quiet Please Musique Politique

    Lady Gaga's Mayhem: Record-Breaking Concerts, Epic Tour, and Empire Expansion
    Jun 29 2025
    Lady Gaga BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Lady Gaga has dominated recent headlines with a string of major professional milestones and buzzworthy appearances. On May 31, Netflix’s TUDUM 2025 event made waves when Gaga herself delivered a dramatic video announcement, confirming she would perform live at the global streaming party. In her message, she told fans she’d just wrapped a record-smashing show at Copacabana Beach in Rio—an epic, free concert that drew 2.5 million people, setting a historic record for both her career and for any female artist. Gaga also teased that after a stop in Singapore, she’d be bringing mayhem—and likely a new track—to the Netflix stage, fueling speculation that her set could debut a song tied to her much-buzzed cameo in the upcoming season of Wednesday. Netflix’s social media channels lit up with reactions, fan memes, and wildfire excitement as Little Monsters everywhere tried to score last-minute tickets.

    The energy barely had time to settle before Gaga shifted gears, announcing her long-anticipated Mayhem Ball Tour. She’ll kick things off July 16 in Las Vegas after her latest Coachella headlining gigs, then sweep through major North American arenas—her first full arena tour since 2018—before embarking on a sprawling European leg that includes multiple nights at London’s O2 Arena, Manchester’s Co-op Live, and Milan’s Unipol Forum, among others. The arena venues mark a purposeful change from her recent stadium runs, and Gaga emphasized in interviews that she wants to deliver a more intimate, theatrical experience for fans. Presale tickets are already a hot commodity thanks to relentless coverage on Ticketmaster, AOL, and countless entertainment news outlets.

    Media outlets from The New York Times to the Las Culturistas podcast have zeroed in on her latest album Mayhem, revealing behind-the-scenes drama: Gaga’s fiancé Michael Polansky reportedly convinced her to avoid turning the project into a full-on grunge record, encouraging her instead to showcase her multifaceted pop instincts. He was also pivotal in the decision to include the fan-favorite “How Bad Do U Want Me,” a hyper-pop banger now lighting up streaming charts.

    Business-wise, Lady Gaga’s empire continues to expand. Coverage from Timeless Whispers and others spotlights the explosive growth of Haus Labs, her beauty brand now rivaling Fenty and Rare Beauty as a top celebrity line, alongside her nonprofit Born This Way Foundation which reported record fundraising last year. Meanwhile, entrepreneur-watchers are buzzing about her quietly registered “Grigio Girls” wine venture, still in stealth mode but pegged as her next big lifestyle move.

    On social media, Lady Gaga’s every promo, stage look, and candid moment with Polansky launches hashtags and trends, with fan accounts and outlets dissecting her influence on music, fashion, and mental health advocacy in real time. Never far from the spotlight, she continues to set the agenda for both pop culture and the business of fame.

    Lady Gaga’s whirlwind spring and early summer have been marked by historic performances, tour announcements, awards nods, and swirling rumors about her personal life—each adding fresh chapters to her ever-evolving story. The most striking recent headline is her record-breaking free concert on May 3 at Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach, which drew an estimated 2.1 to 2.5 million fans, setting a new world record for the largest audience at a concert by a female artist, a title previously held by Madonna. Lady Gaga called the achievement “indescribable,” thanking her fans and sharing her pride at returning to Brazil for the first time since 2012, according to Vulture and Rolling Stone. The concert, broadcast live across Brazilian TV, featured hits from her latest chart-topping album Mayhem, reinforcing her status as a global pop phenomenon.

    On the professional front, her 2025 Mayhem Ball tour is generating massive buzz, especially after her critically acclaimed Coachella performances, which were praised as “transformative” and “a masterclass in pop performance” by Rolling Stone, The Guardian, and Variety. The tour officially kicks off July 16 in Las Vegas, and will hit major cities across North America, Europe, and Australia, including multiple-night runs at San Francisco’s Chase Center in late July—these dates are confirmed, according to Chase Center’s official announcements. Gaga has emphasized her desire for a more intimate, theatrical experience, choosing arenas over stadiums to maintain creative control, as reported by CBS News.

Meanwhile, her Instagram posts continue to foster deep connections with fans, highlighting her gratitude for their support and her excitement about the new tour.
