Lady Gaga Just Released Her New Song, ‘Stupid Love,’ and It's Incredible


Lady Gaga made her triumphant return to pop music on midnight Friday (February 28) with “Stupid Love,” her first solo single in nearly three years. And, my friends, it was well worth the wait.

The track is classic Gaga: big, bright, and booming, with eighties-style electronic production and an anthemic chorus. It’s a welcome return to form for the singer, whose last pop record, Joanne, was more stripped-down and acoustic than the shiny electro-dance of albums past. “Stupid Love” finds Gaga squarely back in club territory—it’s a song tailor-made for sweaty sing-alongs underneath a shimmery disco ball.

It’s also unlike anything on top 40 radio right now. Save for Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now,” the top 10 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 is quite moody and downtempo—not a sugary bop in sight. If “Stupid Love” impacts radio (which fingers crossed it will), it could bring BPM and bombast back into pop. And who doesn’t need that right now?

The music video for “Stupid Love” is equally as colorful, starring Gaga as an alien princess of sorts who’s determined to bring love and light to her conflicted world. Watch the video (and hear the song) for yourself, below:

Gaga teased the video for “Stupid Love” earlier in the day on February 27. Again, the imagery—eccentric, over-the-top, and avant-garde—feels like classic Gaga.

The single art is equally as dynamic:

“Stupid Love” has had quite the journey. In January, a demo of the track leaked in full and quickly went viral. Fans loved it, and it was, confusingly, prematurely played in nightclubs, sporting events, and performed by drag queens. Gaga addressed the leak with a cheeky tweet essentially asking her Little Monsters to be patient:

But the wait for new music is over. Lady Gaga’s sixth studio album is on its way, though details and a release date are unknown at this time. Thank goodness “Stupid Love” is a supremely delicious jam that will keep us satiated for a while.

Subway ‘Shallow’ Singer Goes Viral for Belting Lady Gaga With No Warning


Could you finish a famous song lyric if some random psycho ran up to you on the street with a microphone and demanded it of you? Me, like two of the people in a new viral video, would probably respond with a resounding “WTF? Get away from me.” Unless, of course, the comedian was Billy Eichner filming an episode of Billy on the Street. Call me, Billy!

I digress. On February 19, comedian Kevin Freshwater uploaded a video of himself running up to strangers and having them finish the lyrics to famous songs of his choosing. Contestant number one refused to play along, while the next unsuspecting young woman begrudgingly repeated, “It wasn’t me,” each time Freshwater hit her with another line of the Shaggy classic. After that, one man either didn’t know the lyrics to “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” or he was just not in the mood. But it was Freshwater’s last victim that turned the video into a viral sensation. Before we get into that, I have to wonder if there is something to be said about the fact that only women seemed to feel obligated to participate…. It’s almost like we are conditioned by society to accept unwanted attention from aggressive men.

Yet again, I digress. When Freshwater spots a woman on the subway with perfectly feathered blond hair, he didn’t seem to know that she was about to blow his mind. He fed her the first lyrics of Lady Gaga’s hit song “Shallow” from A Star Is Born and she ate. It. Up.

This video deserves more than 340K views, TBH. The singer in question has been identified as professional singer-songwriter Charlotte Awbery. Check her singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” if you enjoy good things:

People on Twitter are going wild. Now she has actual stan accounts, her own fandom name (Charlotte’s Web), and fans begging for an album.

“My job, from now on, is to stan and promote Charlotte Awbery’s talent. This is what I do,” @strayydog tweeted. Same, Strayydog. Same.

Lady Gaga's 10 Best (and Worst) Songs of All Time


“Do What U Want” is a complete misfire. The song’s creepy lyrical content, mixed with who’s featured on it, just makes it un-listenable. So much so that Gaga removed it from streaming platforms in January 2019 in light of the sexual misconduct allegations against R.Kelly and went on to say she regrets releasing the song.

4. “Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)”

Another filler track off Born This Way, “Highway Unicorn” sounds like six different songs rolled into one. The elements separated are actually quite good—the thumping bass-line at the beginning is magnetic—but together it’s a bit of a cluster.

3. “Jewels N’ Drugs” (feat. · T.I., Too $hort, and Twista)

The same critique goes to “Jewels N’ Drugs,” Gaga’s bizarre foray into hip-hop that fans would rather forget.

2. “Hey Girl” (feat. Florence Welch)

“Hey Girl” isn’t a terrible song; it’s just a disappointing one. For two powerhouses like Gaga and Florence Welch to come together and release a track that sounds like a tense phone call is just, I don’t know, a bummer? Here’s hoping they have a follow-up duet somewhere in their arsenals.

1. “Christmas Tree”

“Christmas Tree” is arguably the only truly horrific song Gaga has ever released. With clanging techno beats and lyrics that turn holiday decorations into sexual puns, feel free to leave this off your Christmas playlist (and all your other playlists, too).

Leave The Peloton Bike Ad Lady Alone


Peloton, a company that sells (checks notes) bikes that don’t go anywhere, is worth nearly 10 billion dollars. But the latest Peloton Bike ad—you know, the 30-second spot that went viral and drew comparisons to the brainwashed family from Get Out—just lost the company almost one billion dollars and sparked an endless stream of Twitter hot takes.

In case you’ve been sitting this internet controversy out, the infamous ad—which shows a woman receiving a Peloton bike from her husband for Christmas, then tracking her progress over the year by vlogging her rides—touched a nerve with millions of people. Critics called it “sexist,” “body shaming,” “abusive” and “dystopian.” Something about the sleek aesthetic of the ad, coupled with a plot involving a man getting his wife exercise equipment—equipment she takes to like a hamster on a wheel—unleashed a kind of public anguish.

Comedian Eva Victor’s very funny parody of the ad has over three million views:

Watch the ad for yourself:

Normally we’re all for any outcry about perceived sexism. But the intensity of the anger over the Peloton bike ad has its own eeriness. The woman in the ad is not being “abused” or “controlled,” and insistence that she is suggests that women can’t make their own choices about their desires and their bodies. America has an obsession with thinness, and that can’t be disentangled from exercise crazes like Peloton. But it’s also oddly disrespectful to act like exercising—albeit on fancy equipment and for social media glory—is something women do solely to please men. It’s just more complicated than that.

It’s ironic that the company so garbled their message in this ad, because so many women have been open about finding friendship and wellness through Peloton that have nothing to do with fitness—or their partners. The hundreds of thousands of women who have created networks based on their at-home workouts can’t be reduced to a reaction to the male gaze. How hard would it have been to make an ad about what so many Peloton women actually seem to have a cult-like devotion to: community.

Maybe part of the anger over the Peloton bike ad is how accurately it reflects consumerism right now, and how uncomfortable that makes us. Peloton Lady and her (maybe evil) Peloton Husband live in a pristine, open concept house with hardwood floors, high windows, and one very well-behaved child. Peloton Lady’s skin is dewey but matte. She comes home from work in block-heeled pumps and a cream-colored coat with a statement lip. She wakes up in matching menswear separates. Everything the Peloton family owns is minimalist but perfect, like it all came from prestige direct-to-consumer startup brands.

It’s a very 2019 fantasy. And when we see clearly that our deeply held fantasy is also a carefully calculated bid by a private company to make money, it suddenly feels more like a nightmare. Friends, Romans, countrymen determined to rescue Peloton Lady from her living hell, consider this hot take: The Peloton Lady isn’t a hostage, but we are.

Lady Gaga Is Starring in a Movie About the Gucci Family Murder: Here's What We Know


Ever since Lady Gaga floored critics and audiences alike with her performance in A Star Is Born last year, the world’s been waiting to see what movie she’ll do next. And now we know: Deadline reports the pop icon is slated to star in a film about the Gucci family, specifically the murder of the founder’s grandson.

Gaga will play Patrizia Reggiani, who was convicted in 1998 for arranging the murder of her husband, Maurizio Gucci. She was released from prison in 2016 after serving 18 years.

Ridley Scott, who’s directed several critically acclaimed movies, like The Martian and Gladiator, will helm this project. If his previous work is any indication, we’re in for another awards-season blockbuster. (Scott himself has amassed four Oscar nominations, while Lady Gaga scored a nomination for best actress and a best original song win for “Shallow,” the central tune in A Star Is Born.)

Not much is known about the Gucci project at this time, but here are a few details.

The plot: From a script by Roberto Bentivegna based on Sara Gay Forden’s book, The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed, the movie will center on the rise of the Gucci empire and its foray into the corporate world under CEO Domenico De Sole and creative director Tom Ford. Interspersed with this is the story of Reggiani, who had two daughters with Maurizio Gucci (he left her in 1985 for a younger woman). According to Deadline, Reggiani had a brain tumor removed, which her children blame for her actions involving Maurizio’s murder. But the tabloids weren’t as kind to the matriarch, dubbing her a scorned “Black Widow.”

The cast: Lady Gaga is the only actor attached to the project right now. That will surely change soon.

The director: Ridley Scott.

The release date: Unknown at this time.

We’ll update this post as more details come in.

Lady Gaga Says She Had Almost Her 'Entire Body' X-Rayed After She Fell Off Stage


You don’t have to have seen Enigma, Lady Gaga’s Las Vegas show, to know it’s a wild time. When Lady Gaga’s residency at the Park MGM’s Park Theater goes according to schedule, it’s two hours of glitter, pyrotechnics, and all of her greatest hits (plus some deep cuts). But when Lady Gaga had a dramatic fall off of the stage during her performance last Thursday, fans learned that Enigma is, somehow, even more of an event when things go awry.

Things took a turn for the dangerous at Lady Gaga’s Thursday evening Enigma performance when she a brought a fan onstage to dance with her. At one moment, the fan hoisted Gaga into his arms, and then the two fell offstage into the crowd below. And yes, it was all captured on camera.

Within minutes of tumbling off the stage, Lady Gaga was helped back up by security and returned to her performance, choreography and all. “We fell into each other’s arms,” she joked minutes later while playing the piano. “We’re like Rose and Jack in the Titanic.” Watch the video here.

But Lady Gaga‘s best quip about the accident came after she headed to the hospital. On Instagram, the singer revealed that she had to get x-rays of almost all of her body following her fall.

This being Lady Gaga, she made her prognosis sound upbeat—and hilarious. She shared a shot of her hand’s x-ray, giving her followers the “okay” symbol. Her caption was nothing short of genius: “Just Dance. Gonna be ok?,” she wrote.

Fans filled the comments section with supportive messages for the singer. “Love you funny, morbid Queen,” one wrote. “Queen of falling and getting back up ?,” another said. No lie detected.

Of course, falling off of the stage wasn’t all jokes in reality. On Friday, the Oscar-winner shared an Instagram story from her friend’s Bachelorette dinner. In it, she said that she’s “in a lot of pain” following the accident.
