Published to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the birth of Lady Gaga’s musical career. As one of the vital world’s best-selling musicians, Lady Gaga has set the musical bar high. Since her debut album, The Fame (2008), she has sold more than 124 million records and scooped a lot of awards, including twelve Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, and eighteen MTV Music Video Awards. Yet she is much more than a musician. At the helm of the Haus of Gaga – a close-knit circle of in the back of-the-scenes creatives – Lady Gaga is a performance artist like no other; her forward thinking fashions and innovations mark her out as the ultimate maverick. Recently, she has reinvented herself as an accomplished jazz performer, dueting with legendary singer Tony Bennett on Cheek to Cheek (2014) and Love For Sale (2021), at the same time as also proving herself a consummate actor with lead roles in A Star Is Born (2018) and House of Gucci (2021). And with her advocacy for LGBT rights and active championing of kindness via the Born This Way Foundation, co-founded with her mother Cynthia Germanotta in 2011, it’s clear to see why her fans adore her. Lady Gaga: Applause is a celebration of a true artist of our time. Illustrated during with stunning photography and complementary fashion segments, this comprehensive history follows Lady Gaga’s ever evolving and frequently unpredictable career, and is testament to her many talents. A should for Little Monsters in all places. AUTHOR: Annie Zaleski is an award-winning journalist and writer based in Cleveland, Ohio.
