For me: 

- TF singles being everywhere back in 2008/09

- Paparazzi VMA performance ….  Bad Romance and Telephone avant garde mv releases, TFM success

- BTW meat dress announcement / BTW Vessel Grammys performance / BTW album release / BTW ball  - ambitious world tour (although sad end due to injury)

- Sound of Music Tribute 

- Superbowl national anthem / Superbowl half time show

- ASIB success / ASIB soundtrack / ASIB Shallow Oscars win 

- ROM mv ft Ariana (it just brought the world some joy during COVID)

- DWAS smash / Abracadabra mv / Mayhem release, blending old and new sounds 

 

These are all great but Rain On Me next to all of them feels a bit weak. Idk but I think that was more a moment in our fanbase. The world was too busy dealing with COVID that Chromatica didn’t really got it’s moment to shine.

Definitely would be 

2009-11 The Fame - Monster to the release of BTW (single)

2018-19 ASIB, Shallow and winning GG, Oscar, BAFTA really a GOLD era

2025 Tbh i dont see this as such big peak like the previous ones but definitely a career highlight, DWAS with Mayhem album and concerts (especially Copacabana) are both truly a moment in her career

MAYHEM already surpassed ASIB peak and the era isn't even over yet, tour stars in a month and we probably are getting even more content.

DWAS is literally the biggest song of the decade poised to beat shallow total streaming numbers very soon and it did it in less than 1 year, Abra is a global smash with cultural impact and MAYHEM is her best selling album studio album since BTW.
Coachella was a cultural reset and 2.5M attendance on Copacabana (the biggest attendance ever for a female artist), plus multiple stadium dates sold out around the world.

Not to mention the Emmy win, the dozens of streaming records, 3 Guinness World Records , the Tudum performance, hosting and performing SNL and countless other stuff I'm forgetting.

I mean, winning an Oscar is amazing but it doesn't beat what she's done this era, and this is just in 3 months, we don't know what the future holds.

The period of time between TFM & BTW was unreal.

Everyone alive knew her name. Everyone knew the Bad Romance chant.

She had several hits under her belt & she had no missteps yet.

I would consider that to be her biggest career peak (probably best represented in one night by the 2010 VMAs).

She was winning like every award that night, getting all the attention etc. Ill never forget the 2010 VMAs!

An awesome night. Hearing BR play every time she won/walked up was amazing.

& three outfit changes. The meat deserved the spotlight, but I was always obsessed with this dress

I love when she first arrived in that car with the lighter coloured dress. They said "Its the Lady Herself, Lady Gaga" and put her on such a pedestal as she arrived

 

I also remember when Katy Perry and Rihanna were sitting together loosing every award to Gaga and trying to act like they didnt care. It was priceless to see

I don’t agree tbh. DWAS is huge, that’s for sure, but other than that, the rest felt very Beyoncé-like success to me: very popularity-driven, but not so much cultural impact other than Copacabana which, let’s say it, could’ve have been as impactful any other year. Abracadabra did great, but the numbers aren’t that big

Abra is still #22 on the global charts after 4 months, it's a big hit. 

And DWAS is bigger than shallow was the US and world, shallow spent 45 weeks on the hot 100, DWAS is at 42 weeks and still top 10, not to mention 200 days at #1 on Spotify and many other records.

I mean, yes, the prestige of Hollywood and all that jazz is great but if we go by numbers MAYHEM clears it, even the streaming records with her older catalog is happening all on the mayhem era. 

And we can't discount Copacabana, it happened in the MAYHEM era, it should be counted with the MAYHEM era, it was probably the biggest milestone of her career and she made history. 

[Starmie25 17,905]

Not y'all forgetting her first stadium tour aka CHROMATICA BALL
