It currently sits as her first Universally Acclaimed album, and is her highest rated album ever - beating Chromatica at 79! NOTE: The score has no settled and either has the chance to lower or rise - but this is a great sign still! https://www.metacritic.com/music/mayhem/lady-gaga/critic-reviews EDIT: It’s now at 84! Still a slay

Oh my goddddd…let me just start with that. I have loved Gaga since I was 7 years old when I first heard Just Dance and Poker Face, and I have lurked GagaDaily for over a decade. This was genuinely a once in a lifetime experience that I never thought would happen, and I still can’t believe it actually happened. Now that that’s out of the way, detailssss. My bestie and I woke up at 3 AM EST to fly out to LA from Atlanta, and we got to WERK as soon as we got there. We did interviews for Mastercard and fittings first. All of our costumes were pieces from the original video (wth I know), and they had Gaga’s huge white cape hanging over a rack in the fitting room for us to gag over. I talked to this really sweet girl for about 15 minutes while I was waiting who has been on Gaga’s stylist team for a short period, and she kept giving me hints that I was going to be so excited for the shoot tomorrow. We then go and rehearse for like 4 hours with Parris Goebel…literally terrifying, but she is so genuine and excited about her craft and was so excited about working with us. Such star power energy but very humble and grounded. Loved her! Next day, we have to be on set early and get another round of interviews done and then glammed. The artists and stylists were all so talented, funny, kind, and just a joy to be around. My hair and makeup were so sick. They gave me an amped-up version of Honey Balenciaga’s hair from the video (gag I know). At this point, everyone was antsy wondering if Gaga was coming to set at all because we had seen tweets that she was still in NYC, but when I went over to put my costume on, I saw her 10 inch pleasers on the table hehe. When I say this woman has tiny feet…oh my god they had to be like a 5 1/2 or 6. Her red bedazzled cane from the video was also on the table, so I was like “yeah she’s gotta be coming today.” Now, it’s time to go on set and film. We’re literally thrown to the wolves and have to do solos in front of Parris right off the bat. I have never really danced professionally, and I was the third person in line to go. Let’s just say I was terrified, but when that camera locked on me, Gaga literally possessed me or something. I served face like y’all wouldn’t believe haha. It was electrifying. We shoot for a few more hours and get the chorus filmed, and then it’s like 6 PM at this point. Parris walks out in front of us and says, “You guys look great, but I feel like something is missing…” and we’re all like, “Yeah SOMEONE is missing!” Parris is like “What do you guys think is missing then?” My bestie back behind me yells, “MOTHERRRRR!!!” And here comes Gaga out from behind the curtain in this skin-tight red latex dress with horns on the nipples, a huge velvet hat and her cane, and she goes, “Oh, hi” in her little babygirl voice…like girl don’t play with me right now haha. I was just in shock, like the woman I have admired since childhood is right in front of me, and I’m on set of her music video and IN IT with her. I thought I would be sobbing, but my jaw was just on the floor… like I couldn’t process anything. She then starts telling us how she can’t believe how incredible we look and how we literally look just like the music video when we’re dancing. She said she was so inspired by us and was so excited we were all getting to do this. Then, up she goes on her platform off to the side to START FILMING WITH US… girl I was about to puke. I’m in my leaned back position for the 1000th time that day trying to get into character to start the takes for the opening scene, and I’ve got my emotions together for now. Then, when Gaga started the take, she said something so monumental that it genuinely shook me to my core. She starts off the video saying, “The category is fans or die. Little Monsters, my stage is yours.” Y’all when those words left her mouth I just started sobbing. Like how much more full-circle of a moment in life can you have? I grew up in a really small, rural town with no one to turn to about my sexuality growing up, but I always had Gaga and her message. This was like the most surreal moment, and little 7 to 14 year old Caleb felt so seen and nurtured in that moment. My idol just handed her stage over to me and the incredibly talented friends I had made. I couldn’t hold the tears back, so if I look crazy in that opening scene (I mean I already have the huge spiky hair anyway lmao), don’t judge haha. We did like 6 takes with her doing that, and I was just crying and bent over between every take while still trying to get a look at her every chance I could. She kept looking over at me smiling bc she knew I was so emotional, and between one of the takes, she looked at me and said “You guys are killing it.” Then, they had all the dancers move off to the side of the stage, and Gaga performed the song all the way through in one take. My best friend from home and I were in the front and sobbing so hard because we just couldn’t believe we were experiencing this in person. They had to get us a box of tissues because we were literally a mess y’all lol. My poor makeup lmao. Gaga is so sweet and calm when you’re talking to her, but when that camera gets on her, she literally turns into someone else. Like GAGA takes over her. It was the most insane thing I have ever seen. We wrap up on set with her, and she gives us another group pep talk telling us she loves us and is so proud of us and how she didn’t want to be the center of attention in this video because it’s OUR video. That’s why she’s not in the center of the floor dancing with us and instead to the side of us. She such an angel, seriously. Then off she goes to get ready for Club Mayhem. We rush to get ready and changed for Club Mayhem, and when we get there, the people from Mastercard ask us if we want to do a flash mob to Abra when Gaga comes out. Obviously, we say yes lol. Gaga comes out and gives her speech with Parris, and then the Mastercard people clear a spot on the dance floor. It’s dance or die time b*tch. We work the cameras for the first 2 verses and choruses, and then I turn around and Gaga has her phone right in my face filming me…I’m literally like what is life right now haha. She is right there with us dancing and says, “I love you guys. Put your hands up!” (of course lmao). We dance with her for a little bit longer, and then she’s on her way. Such a surreal experience. Also, I had written a letter to give to her and didn’t have the chance to, but I found one of the guys on her stylist team at the bar and asked him if he could give her my letter. He was very genuine and said he would definitely get it to her somehow. He was so kind about how amazing we looked in the video and how we should be so proud of ourselves. Everyone on her team was just so genuine and so happy to be there with us. It was amazing. I also have made some amazing friends because the dancers were obviously true monsters, and we were all so proud of each other and so happy to be there. We all still have a group chat together and talk basically everyday. We’re going to try and meet up at the MAYHEM BALL in New York if we get tickets <3. It was such a mind-boggling experience, and I will never forget it. Literally no other artists do things like this for their fans. Gaga is one of a kind.

If this shake up led to Richy's dismissal, then it's all good. LMs have been complaining about her being surrounded by the wrong people/yes-men for 12 years now... ARTPOP, Joanne, Chromatica. Judging by MAYHEM: music, videos & promotion, something IS being done RIGHT this time around, she's in a good place and it shows. So if we can, let's support it, if not, it's none of our business anyway. We're here to support and enjoy her art.

AAHHHH HOLY SHITIDKJDJFJFF Her most praised album ever by Pitchfork whew https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/lady-gaga-mayhem/

Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM moves in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as the set debuts atop the tally dated March 22. It’s the seventh leader for the superstar. The set — her seventh studio album — launches with 219,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending March 13, according to Luminate — the biggest week of the year for an album by a woman. It also scores Gaga her largest streaming week ever. Of MAYHEM’s 219,000 first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 136,000 (it’s the top-selling album of the week and debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 80,500 (equaling 108.05 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; Gaga’s biggest streaming week ever, and it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart) and TEA units comprise 2,500. With MAYHEM’s bow of 219,000 equivalent album units, the set earns the biggest week for a woman in 2025, and the largest debut by a woman in over six months. The last larger bow by a woman was Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, which started with 362,000 atop the Sept. 7, 2024-dated list. MAYHEM’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across a gaggle of editions: 14 vinyl variants (some signed, and some include the bonus track “Can’t Stop the High,” while Target’s exclusive vinyl has the extra track “Kill for Love”), four CD editions (one signed, Target’s exclusive CD adds “Kill” while Gaga’s webstore carried a CD with the bonus track “Can’t Stop the High”), a cassette tape, a deluxe CD box set with a branded T-shirt and poster, and two widely available download albums (the standard 14-song album, and then a deluxe version exclusive to iTunes with the three music videos for “Disease,” “Die With a Smile” and “Abracadabra”). Of MAYHEM’s opening-week sales, vinyl purchases comprise 74,000 — Gaga’s biggest week on vinyl ever. https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/lady-gaga-mayhem-debuts-number-one-billboard-200-chart-1235923158/

Born This Way is.

The fame is not better than BTW and mayhem.

Lady Gaga talks about the possibility of “disappearing” after #MAYHEM. “Disappear? I don’t think so. I think music will be a part of our child’s life, but I also have to see what it’s like, and what our kid needs.” https://x.com/mayhembygaga/status/1899845731898311042?t=Wkjv8Ia8HyzljDyd0-FIng&s=19

https://twitter.com/ladygaganownet/status/1898031393495548307 "Monsters: For nearly two decades, we've known and loved each other. You've been with me and my music through so many twists and turns. Whether I'm writing about the chaos of disease, witches casting spells in a nightclub, waking up as a zombie after being bitten on the dance floor, the strange way fame can feel like having a clone, or disappearing into pop oblivion with the person you love—you've always reminded me that I can be exactly who I want to be. Because when I looked out into the crowd, you were always exactly who you wanted to be. In all the ways we didn't know who we were back then, we've been finding ourselves together. And I think I'm still doing that with you. Thank you for being on this ride with me, no matter what. I'm truly, exceptionally, unspeakably grateful for that. My wish is that when you listen to these songs, you find a place to pour out all your negative thoughts and let the music carry you away—away from your own mayhem and into the mayhem of the music. I want to give special thanks to my love, Michael, for the beautiful work you poured into this album every single day for over a year—and beyond. Your encouragement and love were constant, but you're also a completely brilliant creative partner. I've always been a renaissance woman, and I've often felt misunderstood anytime someone tried to put me in a box. I think we're so similar in that way. You can do anything. I've never seen anyone work as hard as you do. I don't think anyone in my life understands MAYHEM the way you do. I love this album with you. Thank you for making MAYHEM with me. Thank you to Andrew Watt and Cirkut for their tireless work and endless talent. Thank you to Gesaffelstein and Bruno Mars for sharing with me their artistry and for supporting me in mine. Thank you to Paul Lamalfa, Tyler Hart, Serban Ghenea, Randy Merrill, Bobby Campbell, Lindsay Shane, Stacey Quinn, Sonya Guardo, Bryan Lourd, John Janick, Steve Berman, and the Interscope team. Thank you to Arthur Fogel and Live Nation. Thank you to Todd Tours and Mel Roy. Well Monsters: here we are again. Face to face. I made this for you."

Why people act like BloodPop stole the hard drive containing Chromatica and changed all the songs w/o Gaga’s consent?

The album literally dropped one day ago, can people be happy with what they have for once?

She just posted it on her instagram story! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG0e-ToxAcG/?igsh=MWhrY283YzhoMm42cw==

So what, I’ve made many films with my partner but I don’t announce it to the world

“I think that was a hard time for some of my fans, because it felt so different from the “me” that they knew. But it felt so needed for me. It was like I just wanted to strip everything away. I just wanted to understand and get much closer to who I was before it all. It’s so interesting because it’s the most stripped-away that people feel that they’ve ever seen me, but I know how far away from me I was. On this record, I’m much more confident and sure of who I am. I also didn’t feel the need to completely reinvent every part of who I am, because I’ve started to become proud of who I am and feeling like I can own my personal approach to pop music, my style, my vision, that these are things that I made that belong to me, and that I don’t have to put so much pressure on myself to be somebody else, to be great.”

“Lady Gaga has delivered her wildly anticipated MAYHEM (Interscope), which is poised to land at #1 on next week's chart with gorgeously explosive force.” https://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/gaga-let-the-mayhem-begin-2025-03-07

Wow. Never seen this. It’s so peculiar what time can do; it’s honestly an adventure to stan her. She sounds so mature and free, but from an adult perspective, which is actually more complex and viable than being ‘rebelious’ just for the sake of being it. The ultimate twist/shook for Gaga is kinda going back to be gaga and have the guts to do it with her head high. Mayhem might be her best era and album ever, from a fan perspective. It’s watching the flag go up again, after years of doubts and trashing from the outside, only this time, her flag rises stronger

I don't even know where to put this topic lol... They uploaded unreleased tracks on Gaga's YT channel placeholders for MAYHEM Garden Of Eden = Wonderful Perfect Celebrity = The Greatest Thing Vanish Into You = Take You Out Killah = Second Time Around Zombieboy = Animal LoveDrug = I Wanna Be With You How Bad Do U Want Me = Hello Hello Don’t Call Tonight = Freakshow Shadow Of A Man = Filthy Pop The Beast = Earthquake Blade Of Grass = Brooklyn Nights ALL BOPS

The way I won. KILLAH HIVE, RISE

The setlist was apparently passed on by tour production staff. The tour itself is split up into 3 acts with an encore to end. Here are the alleged "leaks"... Act 1: 1. Abracadabra 2. Eh Eh (nothing else I can sat) / Money Honey 3. Mary Jane Hollad 4. Die WIth A Smile Act 2: 1. Blade of GRass 2. Happy Mistake 3. Poker Face 4. Government Hooker / Bad Kids Act 3: 1. Disease 2. Just Dance 3. Perfect Celebrity / The Beast 4. Perfect Illusion / Million Reasons Encore: 1. Bad Romance 2. Born This Way For the record, I don't believe this is the actual set list. Only 6 songs from the new album? Doubtful. What do you think?

- MAYHEM was first named Perfect Illusion as a reference to her true self Joanne - She's releasing the album a week later on Spotify and Itunes, so this friday will only be uploaded to YouTube - She worked with Red One on three tracks but neither of them are on the album - The album cover was AI generated - She's releasing Brooklyn Nights dance choreo with Richy later this week

"I don't think she's kissed a girl." Gaga said this a long time ago, but the idea is the same. Katy's not making art, she's making a product to sell.

STOP THE COUNTTT

PASTE MAGAZINE gives Gaga's SNL episode a rating of 9/10: --- LA TIMES: Lady Gaga slays on ‘SNL’ with musical sketches and performances from ‘Mayhem’ --- VARIETY is impressed she did alla that LIVE: Speaking of “Abracadabra,” Lady Gaga may have pulled off the ultimate “Saturday Night Live” magic trick during her two musical numbers in this week’s episode: dancing furiously and singing live. That combination is not for every “SNL” musical guest, let alone one who is also expending energy as a host who’s appearing in nearly every sketch in the show. But Gaga pulled it off with “Killah” aplomb (if that’s not a phrase that would offend the catchy-superlative-averse characters in the closing skit). --- I'm so sorry MOTHER, but there is no better way to say it — you SLAYED!!!

Here is the career recap video they showed before Gaga got on stage:

Frederic, Sarah, Bobby... start searching for another job

I'm ignoring them cause it's always like this, this cult site suffers from Miley Cyrus syndrome of always criticizing the past era in favor of the current. When LG8 comes out, people will hate Mayhem and say Chromatica is a masterpiece. It's always like this.

the headpiece is EVERYTHING

I won't elaborate much further than this, but based on my research, "How Bad Do U Want Me" is a song that resonates, primarily, with physically attractive people. If you're not cute, you just won't be able to understand the song, on a neurological level . It is the same reason why the visually challenged resisted songs like "Plastic Doll", and "Fashion Of His Love": you have to be hot to connect with them, you won't get it if you're a jumpscare, it is what it is. It explains why the song is polarizing: it's for the hotties I'm afraid

Lady Gaga praises Gesaffelstein and their work together on “Killah”: “Gesaffelstein is very, very talented. He's very specific. I loved working on that record with him. It's just so different for me. And I think there's areas of Mayhem that are the tip of the iceberg of where I might even go next. That was some of the joy of making the album was going like, ‘oh, I'm not done with this.’” https://x.com/gagadaily/status/1899989309291135336?t=1Znx-VyVCdfaW3Ku9a4VnQ&s=19

It is now live!

Well I don't think Gaga's ever died while smiling so there

if true, hopefully he's pointed out more "richys" in the crew

Mistress Mayhem is a LIAR, a SCAMMER, a MESSY BITCH who LIVES for drama. She loves robbery AND fraud.

Why does that sound like diarrhea

Lady Gaga is on the mend following a lengthy and painful battle with fibromyalgia. “It’s very under control. It took over my life for a long time, but I’m 95 percent better,” Gaga, 38, told The Sunday Times in a profile published on Sunday, March 9. “I still have pain days, but they are very rare. I feel lucky.” She added, “People do not always make it through the career and the success that I have had. They don’t always get to the other side, given how it can affect your mental health and body. But I did.” Full article: https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/lady-gaga-gives-candid-update-on-her-painful-fibromyalgia-battle/?utm_campaign=true_anthem_usweekly&utm_content=photo&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawI6-PhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHVKe1qeTZUCwVM6qhdd0wuzHw65mD-QxJsxma6Mr0I_BY1qeIAZWz5l7bQ_aem_TsR7mXldsLrFzelpry-SaQ

Wasn't her bassist problematic/homophobic? Makes sense he wasn't in the SNL performance

The hate yall have towards it and Taylor is really odd, since I have been back on this site the past 6 months it’s just filled with Taylor hate. Taylor didn’t create this kind of pop, just made it her signature since 1989. 1989 is the most successful album using 80s references in the past decade, it’s not like Gaga made it to be like “Taylor” but just used a popular 80s formula that works. if some of you got lost in the chorus because let me tell you, it’s the best chorus on the album (idc shoot me) and had fun with your chocolate dipped d*ldos out of your ass*s then you might enjoy it
