The category is… dance or die

Lady Gaga popped up on screen wearing a red latex bodysuit paired with a spiked hat. “The category is… dance or die,” she declared, setting the tone and reminding us all why we stan her.

The music video followed suit, delivering exactly zero chill with its dramatic interplay of light and shadow.

The 40 backup dancers executed choreography that told the age-old tale of Gaga’s eternal battle between light and dark—a theme she’s been perfecting since forever.

Abracadabra: A spellbinding bop that’ll have you obsessed

The musical elements of Abracadabra match everything fans would anticipate from Gaga during 2025: it produces pulsating beats served with Europop sounds and an earworm chorus.

The poetic lyrics "Pay the toll to the angels, drawin' circles in the clouds" have convinced English department enthusiasts to adore them.

The track serves as an eloquent tribute to the dual aspects of life inside a shiny musical setting.

The song already has critics praising Gaga for her comeback since fans compare it to her classic hits Judas and Alejandro.

Mayhem: Reassembling shattered mirrors

Abracadabra is part of Gaga's upcoming album Mayhem, which will be released on March 7, 2025. As Gaga herself describes, making this album was like reassembling pieces of a broken mirror.

She described it as a deeply personal process of going through one's past and decision-making moments and somehow managing to turn chaos into something beautiful. Love, she says, is the "ultimate resolution"—a message that feels both timely and timeless.

If the first two singles off Mayhem—Disease and Die With A Smile—are any indication, this album is shaping up to be a rollercoaster ride through every emotion known to humankind.

Grammys double duty

On top of dropping her new single, Gaga and Bruno Mars celebrated their Grammy win for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with their track Die With a Smile.

The duo got real about their collaboration, sharing how grateful they were for the partnership and taking a heartfelt moment to shout out to the queer community.

She also used the Grammy stage to pay tribute to those affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. She teamed up with Mars again to deliver a powerful rendition of California Dreamin’.

The performance was part of a larger effort to raise funds for wildfire recovery, with a jaw-dropping $7 million raised to support the affected communities.
