According to Billboard Boxscore, The Mayhem Ball grossed $419.5 million and sold just under two million tickets over the past year. This is Gaga's highest-grossing tour yet, one of the highest-grossing tours by a female artist in history (5th I believe) and also among the top 10 highest-grossing pop tours of all-time. Gaga has now amassed more than $1.1billion gross in total over the course of her career dating back to 2009 and is the sixth woman to join the billion-dollar club in ticket revenue. LONG LIVE MAYHEM!

Gaga and I* Edit: for all the sad reacts im getting its just a joke cuz my teachers used to always correct me on this all the time

that's enough confirmation for me! Girls — start the Countdown thread!

Fixed!

if only

ALWAYS BELIEEEEVE. We're 100% getting a new body of work, be it an EP or soundtrack album

would you prefer no new music at all

Y'all are some haters. TDD is such a bop. I can't imagine Mayhem without it now. I'm so glad I got to see her perform it twice at The Mayhem Ball.

I really wish they’d gone with Zombieboy instead. It’s such a good song and it deserved a great music video. It’s got a similar vibe to DD, just better execution.

Bloody Mary walked so The Dead Dance could fall flat on her face.

Oh 420Ga

“I don’t think these are actual lyrics / They don’t sound like lyrics”

"Nothing's gonna last forever and no one's gonna last forever" If everything was everything but everything is over

You and I could write a bad romance

Ugh. I prefer SoloGa over CollabGa any day

Shazam Global 200: 98. Runway (+31) *New Peak

Great but they think the overcharge was $1.72 per ticket? Girl.

I know we hate TDD but the gym that I go to doesn’t play much Gaga, but they have been playing TDD a lot. Luckily I have noise cancelling headphones.

Before Wednesday Season 1, Lady Gaga’s brooding electro-dance track “Bloody Mary” was the kind of fan-favorite deep cut you bragged about knowing — a pulsating gem from her 2011 album Born This Way. “It’s such an interesting, beautiful record,” says Gaga, reflecting on the surprise resurrection of “Bloody Mary.” “But it was considered too weird and too hard for radio — too much of everything.” The song trended worldwide, transforming it into a TikTok phenomenon and weaving it into the show’s DNA as tightly as Wednesday’s black braids. Gaga noticed. She re-created the dance on TikTok, cementing a connection between herself and the world of Wednesday that made her appearance in Season 2 feel inevitable. “I still don’t understand why fans took ‘Goo Goo Muck’ off her dance and put it on my song, but thank you,” Gaga says of the remix that brought the track back into the zeitgeist. After “Bloody Mary” had a viral moment during the initial airing of Season 1, co-creators and showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough approached Gaga to work on a new song for Season 2. “Lady Gaga emerged as a big fan of Season 1 when ‘Bloody Mary’ became the de facto song on TikTok for Wednesday’s viral dance,” Gough reiterates. “And in the gala [scene] this season, we have another dance sequence, and we wanted to use a Lady Gaga song.” The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. When Millar and Gough reached out, Gaga already had a new idea for a song haunting the Gothic hallways of her mind. “I got a phone call that the show was looking for music,” Gaga recalls. “I immediately had a song in mind called ‘The Dead Dance.’ Once I knew it would be for Wednesday, I decided to work on it even more and made it extra special for the show.” Millar and Gough were immediately hooked. “Her team sent us the most incredible song, and we fell in love with it the first time we heard it,” Gough recalls, confident the song would be the perfect spiritual successor to “Bloody Mary.” But “The Dead Dance” isn’t a gloomy song for the deceased. In fact, Gaga hopes the song is affirming and full of life. “The inspiration for ‘The Dead Dance’ was a breakup, and it’s about how we sometimes feel when it’s over — how a relationship ending can kill our ability to feel hopeful about love,” she says. “In the song, I say, ‘I’ll keep on dancing till I’m dead,’ meaning that I’m acknowledging that, and I’m going to keep going. I’m also saying, ‘I’m taking the power back.’” And the real power of the song perhaps rests in the moment when, as Gaga says, its meaning is transformed, shifting from heartache to celebration: “In the middle of the song, it says, ‘’Do the Dead Dance, the Dead Dance’ over and over. And that is when the song becomes not just about the relationship. It becomes about having fun with your friends when you’ve been through something tough and amazing.” Millar and Gough wanted to bring Gaga fully into the Wednesday world, and what better role than the ghost of former Nevermore professor Rosaline Rotwood? “The reason that I am in Wednesday really has to do with music,” Gaga explains. “After [‘The Dead Dance’] happened, they asked me if I wanted to be on the show, and I said, ‘Absolutely.’ ” It’s a deliciously twisted plot, and one that came to life when Gaga stepped into director Tim Burton’s gothic Addams playground. “Being on the set was such a trip — it was just so sick,” Gaga says. “The art direction, the craftsmanship, the attention to detail. I feel like I got to see something coming into Wednesday that I bet everyone would love to see.” That magic didn’t stop at the set design. To achieve Gaga’s floating scene as the ghost of Rotwood, the team implemented a teeter-totter, which is essentially a seesaw that lifted the pop star six feet in the air. To no one’s surprise, Gaga and Burton hit it off between takes, discovering a similar sense of humor. “One of my favorite things about working with him was that we thought the same things were funny,” Gaga says. “We’re in this dark world, and we’re all kind of laughing about me floating across the room. I don’t know how to explain it, but when you have a kindred, shared interest in this type of artistry, there’s a certain vibe — and it’s nice.” It’s the same against-the-odds magic that fuels her official Wednesday debut. Gaga didn’t just drop in for a cameo in Season 2 — she slipped into the series’ bloodstream, delivering a ghostly performance and an anthem that feels like it was always meant to be there. “To me, when you know that music and pop culture and Tim Burton all come together… that’s a very special recipe,” Gaga says. “That’s why I’m here.” If “Bloody Mary” was the spark, “The Dead Dance” is the fire. https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/lady-gaga-dead-dance-wednesday-viral-dance

Madonna's gonna revive it. Sorry mam XCX.

Debra came and went. Mary came all over everyone.

Don't forget the lezzing out part that's very important also

My dyke ass needs this more than oxygen

Damnnnnn I had never noticed how gorgeous she looked

She might just be talking about the music video, which is apparently coming. But i'm here for it either way I love Doechii

please stop, i prefer cardi b

Per usual you Ava haters are exhausting. the song is super catchy and a bop. You people keep saying she needs to try different sounds and she makes a whole album full of bops you all hated and now she’s really trying something different and y’all still hate it. So just admit you don’t like her and move on cause clearly nothing will please you at this point. The rest of us who just like fun pop music will continue to enjoy what she puts out cause it’s all fun dance music that puts me and others in a good mood.

And all it took was $500+ tickets I will always adore her and this tour but I'll also always be bitter at how f*cking expensive tickets were for no reason

Setting aside the no one should make this much money argument, I am glad on a seperate note her career is doing so well 17 to 18 years in!

This french masterpiece... written by Mylène Farmer, kinda the french Madonna @HotLikeMexico

Not you clocking my biggest pet-peeve about Gaga. I love her down, but I do sometimes get frustrated with her writing lol

It wasnt just a random trans joke that was weaponized by mistake, it was an entire career comeback by making trans jokes Also, did he ever defend trans people while republicans weaponized his trans jokes? no, he went along with it

Wow another The Dead Dance bashing thread?

I knew this would be come a roasting session. Not dissapointed

(You can also look it up on Google to confirm.) I randomly came across this yesterday. Apparently people on Popjustice were talking about Just Dance at the end of March 2008, before it was even released in April. Sadly, I don't have an account so I can't view the post and Popjustice as we know is closing, so I can't see exactly what people said. I mean, this wouldn't be surprising because Lady Gaga was constantly putting stuff on MySpace and performing it before "official" releases. She did also perform the song at Winter Music Conference Miami in March (and possibly even earlier in February at an event, though this is unconfirmed). I still think this is pretty cool to see though.

...you do sound bratty tho 😅 You do know how teasing, trailers, promotion, building anticipation and timing hype and build-up works, right? I for one was super happy with the teaser being shown at her last tour stop and I don't mind waiting a little longer, then again, I know I'm a grown man who's witnessed a many Gaga eras

The Devil Wears Prada 2 world premiere will be live-streamed worldwide on Disney+ and Hulu on Monday, April 20, starting at 5:30 p.m. ET, with a full replay available following the event. Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are reprising their roles for The Devil Wears Prada sequel, and Disney+ and Hulu subscribers will get a front-row seat to the glamorous event at Lincoln Center in New York City. The live experience will feature fashion moments with the cast, celebrity arrivals, cast interviews, and special surprises throughout the night. https://deadline.com/2026/04/the-devil-wears-prada-2-premiere-red-carpet-live-stream-disney-hulu-1236859327/ Gaga is expected to attend since she’s performing in the movie + she’s involved in the soundtrack.

I think the soundtrack is out on May 1, when the movie premieres worldwide. April 27 is the RUNWAY music video premiere.

Doechii basically confirmed more is coming. A music video is on lock. I'm sure they will push it on the movie's release week. Need to be patient on this one I guess

I don't think it has anything to do with her face or age. It's a continuation of COADF. If you look at the cover from the 2005 album, her face isn't showing. In fact, almost ALL her albums show her face except Confessions on a Dance Floor and Like a Prayer. Simply: it's an artistic choice, not out of fear for what the public will think of her face. Madonna doesn't care what insecure people have to say about her face or age.

Love Gaga but very curious to hear the demo she had before they decided to shape it for Wednesday. The trance instrumental is so good and I love the verses but just not a fan of the chorus.

not Ava already entered Mayhem:Requeim era before Gaga....
