It is undeniable that, in the worlds of music, fashion and art, Lady Gaga has been leading the way for the 10+ years she’s been in the spotlight. Since her arrival back in 2008, she has toed the line between high concept artistry and shocking scandal. The New Yorker knows how to make a statement about herself, her fans and the disenfranchised people her music speaks to.

Of course, this grounded discourse has always been elevated and given a lick of glamour thanks to her close ties to designers like Alexander McQueen and Donatella Versace throughout the years. Now, nearly five years after her country-spun record Joanne landed, everybody’s favourite pop star is back, armed with the grinding disco track “Stupid Love” and an impending album.
