Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – better known as Lady Gaga – is an American singer, songwriter and actor who sprang into the spotlight in 2008 with her hit singles ‘Just Dance’ and ‘Poker Face’.
Over the last fourteen years, her various accolades and eccentric personality have distinguished her as one of the greatest musical artists of our time.
Lady Gaga’s latest song to enter the charts is ‘Hold My Hand’, which features on the soundtrack of Top Gun: Maverick.

The thirty-six year old singer has enjoyed mass-success, including 15 top 10 singles. However, divisive outfits (remember the meat dress?) and an unconventional interview style meant that for the first few years of her career, she connected primarily with people who felt themselves to be on the periphery of society.
In particular, Lady Gaga — whom herself is bisexual — has always been popular amongst the LGBTQ+ community, and her hit single ‘Born This Way’ is regularly listed as one of the greatest Queer anthems of the 21st Century.
This iconic song featured in her 2017 Super Bowl Half Time Show, which has since been viewed over 74 million times on YouTube.
In recent years, Lady Gaga has made a name for herself as a serious actor. In 2018, she was the leading lady in A Star is Born; a role which earned her an Academy Award nomination. Three years later, she starred in House of Gucci, where she played Patrizia Reggiani.

The American performer released her sixth studio album, Chromatica, in 2020. This album became Lady Gaga’s sixth number 1 album on the Billboard 200 charts.
After a couple of COVID-19 related postponements, the worldwide The Chromatica Ball tour is now underway.
Talking about the tour on her Instagram, Lady Gaga wrote: ‘I’m so incredibly grateful to everyone who worked with me to build this show, and helped me express a vision of freedom and joy through music, dance, fashion, art and technology.’
