The Chromatica Ball, Lady Gaga‘s most recent stadium tour, fought against numerous obstacles before it was able to fully bloom in 2022. The run was postponed twice — first when the world shut down during the pandemic in 2020, then again when only certain stops on the international run were prepared for the return of live music in 2021. When the Ball finally commenced, Gaga leaned into her biggest and weirdest musical modes.

It was Lady Gaga who once uttered the iconic phrase “Just dance/ Gonna be Ok.” There’s hardly ever been a movie about dance in which the stakes weren’t somehow incredibly high, but in the end, that’s almost always the lesson: Just dance, and it’ll be Ok.
These 16 films are filled with people dancing their troubles away — whether they’re trying to get into prestigious universities or hoping to retire from stripping with a bang. All of those stories and more can be found in the vast and varied array of dance movies available to watch right now. Some are documentaries about hard-working stars, some are tales of ballerinas learning hip-hop, but they all have one thing in common: They’re waiting for you to press play, no matter how many left feet you have.

Cyndi Lauper recalled hearing the Lady Gaga album that changed everything. She also saw some parallels between herself and the “Poker Face” singer. In addition, Lauper was asked what she thought about inspiring Gaga and some of her contemporaries.
Cyndi Lauper said Lady Gaga brought an entire genre back into the fold
During a 2022 interview with Pitchfork, Lauper cited Gaga’s debut album, The Fame, as one of her inspirations. “I really liked the energy of this album,” she explained. “It was young. It was dance. It was different.”
The Fame includes many of Gaga’s biggest hits, including “Just Dance,” “Poker Face, “Paparazzi,” and “LoveGame.” Through The Fame, Gaga established herself as the new Madonna, a pop music giant with a knack for great hooks, scandalous outfits, and over-the-top music videos. Perhaps the greatest legacy of The Fame is that it made dance-pop the preeminent for of popular music for the next few years.

Lady Gaga’s 2008 breakthrough “The Fame” was one of the most successful debut albums in recent history, not only a hot seller, but a critically praised record at that. Its impact could be measured in a million ways, but on its 15th anniversary the album’s Grammy success comes to mind.
SEEGrammys flashback: What happened to these artists After they won Album of the Year?
“The Fame” wasn’t an overnight sensation, it was a slow riser. Debuting at number-17 initially, the album was helped by word-of-mouth and its lead single “Just Dance” being a budding hit (number-27 that week). In December, when the Grammy nominations for 2009 came out, “Just Dance” was nominated in the category now called Best Dance/Electronic Recording, a major feat for Gaga, whose album wouldn’t even be eligible until the next Grammys cycle.

People often talk about second album syndrome, and the pressures that follow a great first record. Often it can overshadow conversation around the debut itself: “Brilliant album… shame about the second one.”
But while it’s true that many an artist has struggled to meet expectations after a triumphant beginning, it shouldn’t take away from the achievements made on those first records. They serve as statements of intent and have the power to change or reshape the industry, inspire fellow musicians, and drive essential conversation about our understanding of music.
Whether it’s the rock on The Strokes’ much-hyped 2001 album Is This It or the rap prowess of Notorious Big on Ready to Die, introducing a genre to the rest of the world via Daft Punk’s Homework or creating a new one entirely with Black Sabbath – debut albums can take a previously unknown artist and lift them up to global adulation.

A curious thing is happening online: Out of seemingly nowhere, Lady Gaga’s 2009 VMA performance of “Paparazzi” is a trending sound on TikTok. If you watched it live 13 years ago, it always stuck with you. It was one of the most shocking and sensational star-making performances of any pop artist’s career.
Onstage at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium Thursday night, Gaga performed the song in a palace-like setting. After performing an extended, dramatic piano interlude, she emerged with fake blood covering her white bodysuit, belting the chorus like her life depended on it.

"It's an interesting time in my life. It's a transition, for sure. It's been a decade." It's hard to believe that Lady Gaga first released "Just Dance" in the summer of 2008, blazing onto the pop culture scene with her hair fashioned into a bow and introducing the world to a "disco stick." Oh, how far she's come. Gaga, whose real name Stefani Germanotta, has accomplished more in those 10 years than many have achieved in their entire careers. But this past August, the 32-year-old pop icon began a whole new chapter of her already impressive career, and it might just be her most successful one yet. Forget a star, a New Lady Gaga has been born, with...

Some Oscar campaigns are way better than others. Mind you, it’s probably just the luck of the clock that “Lady Gaga Enigma,” the highly spectacular, long-in-the-works show that opened Friday night in Las Vegas, happens to be kicking off in the heart of awards season. Gaga did blurt out toward the close of opening night that she hopes to extend her residency at the Park Theater from the currently scheduled 11 months to two to three years, at which point the words “for your consideration” will be a very distant memory. Still, if there’s an exact opposite to what happened when “Norbit” came out in the midst of Eddie Murphy’s “Dreamgirls” hopes, it has to be the sight of Lady Gaga singing and dancing her well-toned heart out, reminding 5,200 people a night that pretending to be a mousy brunette is, while a considerable skill, just one of about a thousand.
