Lady Gaga teases fans by talking about new music
Grammy Award-winning artist Lady Gaga appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of her concert film Gaga Chromatica Ball in her style. She wore an ensemble that was said to resemble a car part, with bleached eyebrows and black hair. The concert movie follows the singer as she takes over the Dodger Stadium with her successful and popular hits from her album Chromatica.
The artist quickly changed into a black outfit with a sparkling mask, and ahead of her premiere of the movie, she spoke to Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans for a quick Q&A. Lady Gaga shared, when asked about her upcoming music (Via Rolling Stone),
I have written so many songs, and I’ve been producing so many songs, and it’s nothing like anything that I’ve ever made before. I love to break genres, and I love to explore music. There’s something really beautiful about knowing that you will be loved no matter what you do.
Gaga noted that she had been in the studio every single day and explained that her current creative process began during her Chromatica Ball Tour in 2022. She added,
Something I’m definitely exploring right now is sort of the art of intensity, and I think that the art of intensity actually began during this tour. But I’m not done with it yet.
Further talking about the shows, she mentioned that the tour went on during a time when people thought that the tour and stadiums were not packed or sold out. Gaga shared during the Q&A that she was very excited for the fans to see what they had made for them. Being the professional, dedicated artist she is, she revealed that she did five shows while suffering from COVID and shared her diagnosis with her team.
The Grammy winner mentioned that she wanted to perform because she didn’t want to let the fans down, noting that the fans had also put themselves in a situation by coming to the show amid the pandemic.

Fans have been guessing the genre for the artist’s upcoming album and it seemed like they are having a great time thinking about the type of genre that would best suit her voice. A lot of them have suggested that they should be prepared for anything that she drops. Gaga shared with Access Hollywood (Via THR) that the tour and the album were, in a way, the end of a distinct phase in her life and the beginning of a new one.
I was sort of saying goodbye to old wounds, scars, or challenges, and with this tour, I felt really renewed to do something entirely different. I think I felt brave enough to embrace this brutalist aesthetic in a way that I wasn’t brave enough to do when I first put the album out.
Gaga’s Chromatica Ball is available to stream on Max.
