Gaga returns to The Bitter End with Stephen Colbert!

Alexander

Lady Gaga sat down with Stephen Colbert for a deep dive on her career, her earliest days performing in New York City, her desire to start a family, and her perfect bagel order on The Late Show. She also passed judgment on Colbert’s efforts to pull off some of her most famous looks.

The interview took place at the Bitter End, the famed NYC nightclub where Gaga first started performing as a 14-year-old. For the occasion, Gaga shared some fliers from her earliest performance — when she was still using her real name Stefani Germanotta — as well as other ephemera, like a clipboard for interested fans to write down their names and emails, as well as a photo from right before she signed her first record deal.

Forbes: Gaga May Score Grammy Noms In Categories She’s Never Seen Before

Alexander

Throughout her career as a pop superstar, Lady Gaga has been nominated for 38 Grammys. She’s won 14 of those, and the singer-songwriter regularly adds to her trophy shelf whenever she has a new project to share.

This time around, for the 2026 ceremony, Gaga’s new album Mayhem is eligible, as are two singles from the project. She will likely end up as one of the most nominated stars and could collect multiple new honors. Gaga even seems like a likely contender for one category she’s never been nominated for in the past, but which seems like it was made specifically for her.

Review: Gaga serves mayhem, magic and guest stars as UK tour launches

Alexander

Welcome to the Mayhem Ball, a magnificent and operatic tour de force; that pitches the star’s inner angels and demons in a fight for her very soul. Premiered at this year’s Coachella festival, it reached the UK on Monday night, for a run of eight shows at London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s Co-Op Live.

The transfer from outdoor festival stage to the confines of an arena only heightened the show’s vampy, gothic energy – as Gaga raced through two decades of hits, from her debut single Just Dance to her latest hit The Dead Dance, from the Netflix series Wednesday.

The MAYHEM Ball grossed more than $100 million

Alexander

On Monday (Sept. 29), Lady Gaga kicked off her the European leg of The Mayhem Ball at London’s O2 Arena. But even before the 24 shows in 10 cities across eight countries, 2025 is already a milestone year on the road for Mother Monster.

Taking into account the success of the tour’s first North American leg, extensions around the world, and the warm-up shows from earlier in the year, 2025 will be Gaga’s biggest-ever year on tour. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Lady Gaga’s 27 shows in the United States and Canada brought in $103.4 million and sold 378,000 tickets. That makes it the highest-grossing leg of any Gaga tour, in North America or otherwise.

A new documentary shows previously unseen footage of Lady Gaga planning the joint tour she and Kanye West were due to embark on in 2009.

The planned tour never took place, however. It was cancelled shortly after West interrupted Taylor Swift‘s winner’s speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. No reason was given for the cancellation at the time.

Lady Gaga Performs Stripped-Down “Vanish Into You” on Colbert’s The Late Show!

Alexander

Lady Gaga stopped by The Late Show to perform her song “Vanish Into You.” Hot off her win for Artist of the Year at the MTV VMAs on Sunday night, Gaga performed an intimate, emotional rendition of the piano-led ballad.

“Vanish Into You” appeared on Lady Gaga’s most recent LP, Mayhem, which dropped in March. The song was written by Gaga alongside Andrew Watt, Henry Walter, and Michael Polansky, and produced by Gaga with Watt and Cirkut. The track was notably the first song she wrote for the album and seemingly references her fiancé Michael Polansky. “In ‘Vanish Into You,’ I imagine that I just want to disappear into the person I love most,” the singer told ELLE.

Lady Gaga wins 4 MTV Video Music Awards!

Alexander

Lady Gaga made it from UBS Arena to Madison Square Garden just in time to kick off her latest Mayhem Ball concert after making a brief stop at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. The musician stayed for the beginning of the show to accept the award for Artist of the Year, but also won in the technical categories for Best Direction and Best Art Direction. When she hit the stage at MSG, she brought her three new VMAs trophies with her.

During “Perfect Celebrity,” a part of the set where Gaga rolls around in a box full of sand, she positioned the shiny silver Moon People as props. “Find my clone she’s asleep on the ceiling now/Can’t get me down,” she sang while thrusting one award towards the camera. “You love to hate me/I’m the perfect celebrity.” She threw handfuls of sand at the awards and choked out the skeleton positioned next to her. It was the kind of theatrics that made her VMAs history so unforgettable.

Lady Gaga to Appear on Stephan Colbert

Alexander

Lady Gaga is scheduled to appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this coming Monday, September 8, marking her first visit to the program in nearly five years. She is slated to perform during the episode, which will also feature actor Cillian Murphy.

The booking was announced Thursday, less than 24 hours after Gaga abruptly canceled a Miami stop on her Mayhem Ball tour. The singer was forced to pull the show with just minutes before it began due to vocal cord strain that her doctor and vocal coach said carried “significant risk” if she performed.
