About this listen
Lady Gaga has electrified the industry again this week with a series of remarkable developments cementing her place at pop’s peak. Announced just days ago by the Climate Pledge Arena, Gaga is in the midst of her highly publicized Mayhem Ball Tour with recent back-to-back sold-out shows in Seattle on August sixth and seventh and fan footage from the ninth already circulating on social media, where she brought down the house with a performance of Vanish Into You. According to Madison Square Garden and reinforced by event listings, Gaga’s East Coast run is set to dominate late August and early September, with six headline dates at MSG culminating on September seventh, further confirming her status as a perennial arena force.
Business headlines are ablaze due to the MTV Video Music Awards nominations announced August fifth and sixth, where multiple major outlets including Mix FM and LadyGagaNow report that Gaga leads with a staggering twelve nods across top categories, the most of any artist this year—a feat she achieves for the third time. The nominations spotlight her duet Die With a Smile with Bruno Mars, recognized for Video of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Collaboration, while her Platinum-certified Mayhem album is up for Best Album. The buzz is reaching full boil as social media celebrates her sweep, with even Queerty underscoring the dominance of ‘a year of mayhem.’
Adding to the frenzy, Variety reports that Gaga will release the highly anticipated single Dead Dance as the flagship track for the Wednesday season two soundtrack on Netflix. This isn’t just a soundtrack appearance—Gaga will also feature onscreen as Rosaline Rotwood, a legendary Nevermore teacher in a role certain to intrigue both Little Monsters and Wednesday's fandom. The impact of her previous viral moment on the series with Bloody Mary makes this crossover a headline-grabbing story, and Instagram is alive with anticipation from fans and media alike as the release date nears.
Looking internationally, event planners in Europe are already bracing for Gaga’s arrival as her Mayhem Ball Tour confirms October stops at London’s O2 and Manchester’s Co-op Live. These continued global sellouts are an undeniable mark of her enduring business clout.
Major entertainment accounts and critical voices have kept up their chatter this week too. Popfaction’s Instagram confirms the Dead Dance release news and notes well over a thousand fans engaging directly with the headline. Speculation lingers online, some critics sniping that her recent success rides on collaborations, but the concrete figures—tour sellouts and the dozen VMA nods—overwhelm dubious whispers.
To sum it up, Gaga’s week has been one for the record books: leading the VMAs, selling out arenas, dropping new music tied to a hit Netflix show, commanding social media, and strengthening both her artistic and business legacy as pop’s ever-morphing chameleon. The headlines say it all: “Lady Gaga Sweeps 2025 VMA Nominations as ‘The Mayhem Ball’ Tour Triumphs,” “Gaga’s ‘Dead Dance’ to Haunt ‘Wednesday’ Season 2,” and “Arena Sellouts Fuel Another Major Gaga Moment.” The momentum right now is pure Gaga—iconic, newsworthy, and only growing.
