Is the song connected to whatever’s happening on LG7? Absolutely. “Die With a Smile” is on my record — it’s a huge part of my album. It was like this missing piece. The record is full of my love of music — so many different genres, so many different styles, so many different dreams. It leaps around genre in a way that’s almost corrupt. And it ends with love. That’s the answer to all the chaos in my life is that I find peace with love. Every song that I wrote, I just kept getting kind of swept away in these different dreams I was having about the past — almost like a recollection of all these bad decisions that I made in my life. But it ends in this very happy place. You’re headlining Coachella in April, which will be your second time there after performing in 2017. When the announcement came out, you said, “I’ve had a vision I’ve never been able to fully realize at Coachella” and that you’ve “been wanting to go back and to do it right.” Can you elaborate? Well, for reasons totally outside of my control, there was a cancellation — Beyoncé pulled out in 2017 because she was pregnant, and you stepped in. I really wanted to be there for music fans, and at the time there was all this excitement to be able to film bits of “A Star Is Born” at Coachella. But I only had two weeks [to prepare for the show]. And so to design a stage, to have it made, all of those things — I didn’t have the time to totally do what I really wanted to do. I love music. I love performing. I love music fans. And I was so excited to film pieces of our movie there. So I did it, and I loved it. But you know when you have a vision in your mind of how you want to do something? It’s time to make it happen. You’ve returned to ballads regularly throughout your career. I’m thinking of one record I didn’t put on my [upcoming] album that’s actually… I might put it out so I don’t want to share the name. You almost got me [laughs]. It’s actually very fragile and not big — one of the first times I’ve ever done that. But I like big ballads. You can sing along about love in a big way. I love emotional, dramatic music, whether it’s James Taylor and Carole King or it’s David Lee Roth. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2024-12-19/lady-gaga-die-with-a-smile-bruno-mars-grammys-coachella-interview

Superstar pop divas Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa and Chappell Roan go a-SUV-caroling in “A Very Carpool Karaoke Christmas,” a holiday special that was unwrapped as a surprise release Sunday night on Apple TV+ and Apple Music. Zane Lowe assumes the role of host for all three segments of the hour-long special, introduced as its guest driver and duet partner in a brief prologue that begins with franchise mainstay James Corden effectively handing over the keys via a phone call from Britain. Lowe’s ostensible mission is to shuttle Roan around her native Missouri, Lipa around Tokyo before a gig, and Gaga around Los Angeles on her way to a studio session. The last “drive” ends with Lowe joining Gaga’s band on electric guitar for an in-studio cover of “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” that is also being released independently as an audio track. https://variety.com/2024/music/news/lady-gaga-chappell-roan-dua-lipa-very-carpool-karaoke-christmas-zane-lowe-1236249622/

Wouldn't that technically make DWAS the lead single?

Didn't she say herself some time ago that Die With A Smile was a standalone single somewhere?!

For anyone having meltdowns: Imagine Speechless being the lead in TFM and smashing hard. Would you consider TFM a mess? I can see why DWAS is part of LG7 and I am totally cool with it. That doesn't mean a thing about the sonic vibes from the rest of the album.

OMG Michael built her a studio for Valentine's day. He's Daddy Monster at this point

From ATRL Another outfit request by Gaga's style team today, for a video shoot in December. Last time this happened in early October to another Chinese stylist (as I first reported here too), and half a month later, Disease came out, so this might mean it's for the 2nd single music video. Here are some of his works on his social media account for reference.

it goes #1, new thread "why is gaga so collab sensitive?"

Because I personally feel that Gaga isn’t a mainstream artist and only was one for a bit because it was literally a one once in a lifetime thing. She’s an alternative artist through and through. She takes risk , she’s not afraid to fail. I’ve always placed Gaga with artist like Bjork, Marylin Manson types but even better. Mainstream artist are palpable to the masses , alternative artist are not.

the world is healing

Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars’ ‘Die With A Smile’ is projected to reach a new peak of #1 on Next Week’s Billboard Hot 100, with a strong lead of 40 points ahead of the #2 song. — This would become Gaga’s 6th Number 1 single, and Mars’ 9th Number 1 single.

girlll not you asking chatgpt if Richy broke Gaga's hip

Rihanna wants to dethrone catwalk queen Kendall Jenner by getting her – and her whole family – banned from the 2025 Met Gala, RadarOnline.com can reveal. A source explained: "Rihanna has never been a fan of the Kardashians.When Kim was married to Kanye West, she tried to cozy up to Rihanna and got totally shut down." And now that her longtime boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, is on the planning committee for the fashion event of the year, Rihanna has major sway when it comes to the guest list, revealed an insider. The 36-year-old Fenty mogul reserves a special scorn for Jenner, 29, that dates back to 2014 when the supermodel cozied up to her ex Chris Brown, who viciously assaulted the singer in 2009. "Rihanna did not appreciate Kendall's friendship with Chris. Kendall chose a side, and it was the wrong one," said a source. It doesn't help that Kendall also dated A$AP Rocky, 36, back in 2017. With Rocky, the father of her two kids, co-chairing the 2025 Met Gala along with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, the chart-topping singer will have lots of say over the guest list. To fashion insiders' dismay, the Kardashians have been front and center at the event for years, but if the Umbrella singer has her way, they'll be staying home next May. They clarified: "A lot of people are encouraging her – she's by no means the only one who feels like the Kardashians' timeis up." https://radaronline.com/p/rihanna-kardashian-family-banned-met-gala-links-chris-brown-kanye-west/

STREAMING GAYS WON AND THE ARTISTIC GAYS LOST???

GAGA IN THE TOP 30 WE WON

Girl, reading that thread pissed me off so much. The overreactions are insane and completely hypocritical. Little monsters want commercial success, but when when it happens they turn into the art police and question Gaga’s “artistic integrity.” Or they say they’re excited when Gaga says the album is gonna be chaotic and full of different genres, but then they complain that Disease and DWAS aren’t “cohesive.” Or they say that she’s lost her “artistic vision” even though she’s been at her best, artistically, in YEARS. I mean, Harlequin, DWAS, and Disease?! Hello?! Some of her best projects in FOREVER and y’all are complaining that she’s now a slave to the machine and doesn’t care about her art? Stfu

Am I the only one who thinks that “Disease” is one of the best songs Gaga has ever created? The vocals, the little details, that darkness… I think few songs have given me this feeling. It’s as if, even to this day, I keep liking it more and more with each listen. When I listen to a song many times, it’s like they lose that magic over time, but with “Disease,” it doesn’t happen. With each listen, I like it more and more. I don’t know if it’s her best song ever, but without a doubt it’s in her top 3.

The fact that Gesaffelstein is CONFIRMED as a LG7 producer is not being discussed enough since the main thread is clouded with DWAS meltdowns. I don't know about you but this is a collaboration I've been dreaming of "I loved making “Harlequin.” I loved collaborating with all the DJs and Gesaffelstein on my new album. I loved learning about industrial music and about all the different crevices of electronic music, and then I loved working with Bruno. One of the things I’ve probably been judged for in my career was not sticking to one thing. But not sticking to one thing is my life force." https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2024-12-19/lady-gaga-die-with-a-smile-bruno-mars-grammys-coachella-interview edit: for those unfamiliar here are some of the songs he's produced for himself and The Weeknd.

Seriously, guys, Gaga gave a whole lot of herself this 2024 in a way she hasn't in years. We were blessed with many different projects, music pieces, and performances, with some being a bit more commercially successful than others, but in the end we're still very grateful for her contributions! We were very spoiled this year with so much different art and music coming from her. 2025 is also shaping up to be even bigger too which is insane to even imagine. Hot take: i think it's ok to let her have a "bling" (play the game) moment this time around with DWAS. Yes, yes, i'm aware of "music not the bling", but guys Gaga is a major artist and will always have to balance the two. It doesn't mean she's throwing her "artistic integrity" away! Far from it. Hell "DWAS" may just be added to a deluxe who knows? In the end, DWAS still her song too, big moment obviously, for Bruno too and personally I play Disease/DWAS back to back quite a bit haha Also during the pandemic she pretty much let the Chromatica album speak for itself so sometimes, the scale can be tipped. Bring on the multiple chaos of LG7 Gags! We thank u dearly for 2024 !

“‘Harlequin,’ Lady Gaga As a longtime Little Monster, it was a nice surprise to get this companion album to “Joker: Folie à Deux.” Any genre the ever-talented Gaga lends her vocals to is going to be great. Standouts for me include “The Joker,” “Folie à Deux,” and “Happy Mistake.” — DV “ https://www.425magazine.com/arts-entertainment/best-albums-of-2024/article_0361e4e6-ab88-11ef-9c9e-7b4ac13f087f.html

John Waters lists ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ as the sixth best movie of 2024: “Stupid critics. Gaga so good. Joker so right. Die, dumbbells, die!” https://x.com/PopCrave/status/1865074458009985059?t=z64iD2GWWwuPFJArt41TIQ&s=19

Lady Gaga’s “Disease” is predicted to re-enter the Billboard Hot 100 around #98. https://x.com/talkofthecharts/status/1870971324413452740?s=46&t=9j0fD_OoP-oouaRpW6KsNA

THE SUPERIOR CHRISTMAS SONG WON

Music is business and Lady Gaga is a big/mainstream artist and not some alternative-indie-hippie girl. Of course DWAS will be a part of LG7. The success of this song and the longevity it has are 2 things that are very huge to be ignored.

'Chaos' has to be a song or album title. She uses that word way too much

Taylor Swift’s THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (Republic) will return to #1 after the release of new variants of 'The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology'. Meanwhile, second-week projections for Kendrick Lamar’s GNX and Wicked: The Soundtrack remain strong, each at over 100k. source

i'm sure people will react completely sanely to this

https://x.com/BrunoMarsAccess/status/1872743584279195764?t=uzVj7uv6A2z8y5KfB00UKg&s=19 All the versions are discounted ! Sounds like they want #1 on Billboard Hot 100 newt week

gaga for a while now: LG7 is a big mix of genres y'all finding out a different genre song is on the album today:

"Decide for yourself." https://www.instagram.com/p/DDr5pTCJZvQ/?img_index=1

and they even replaced James, so iconic obsessed with Gaga's look and the song choices so far
