Lady Gaga is back with a new song. What's more, her single " The Dead Dance" gets the music video treatment courtesy of Tim Burton, marking the first time the two creatives have ever worked together. The black-and-white visual plays into both artists' aesthetics while keeping ties to Wednesday, the Netflix series starring Jenna Ortega as the Addams Family character of the same name. Watch the video below.
MTV has announced that Lady Gaga will perform at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. She joins a lineup that currently includes Busta Rhymes, J Balvin, Ricky Martin, and Sabrina Carpenter, among others. Mariah Carey will receive the Video Vanguard Award. The 2025 VMAs take place on Sunday, September 7, at UBS Arena, in Elmont, New York. Lady Gaga previously performed at the VMAs in 2009-where she delivered a star-making rendition of "Paparazzi"-and again in 2020 alongside Ariana Grande.
Fans were disappointed to discover that, while Lady Gaga was in fact present and in control of her avatar during the event, only a select few players--including devs, influencers, and contest winners--were actually able to interact with her directly. Other players only saw a broadcast version of Gaga's avatar from a different server. Fans also expressed disappointment that the Gaga Q&A was purely text chat, instead of a voice broadcast.
Lady Gaga is the most-nominated artist at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards with 12 nominations, including categories for Artist of the Year and Best Album for Mayhem.
