Lady Gaga has long cemented herself as a pop icon in the entertainment industry. One of the most incredible aspects of her artistry is her willingness to reinvent herself time and time again to offer something new to her audience at every turn.In the most recent news involving the singer, Apple Music shared its list of the 10 best pop songs of 2025, and Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” took first spot on the list. This not only speaks to the songstress’ comeback with the studio album, Mayhem, but also her incredible longevity (albeit in different avatars) in an increasingly unpredictable and volatile industry.Sabrina Carpenter (Manchild), Tate McRae (2 hands), Olivia Dean (Man I Need), and Justin Bieber’s (YUKON) latest singles rounded out the top 5. The list also serves as a testament to the surplus of female talent in the contemporary music space.Lady Gaga - 2026 Grammy nominations, moreIn other news, Lady Gaga has also found herself almost at the top of the list of overall nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards, trailing behind only Kendrick Lamar. She is up for 7 total awards, including perhaps the two most prestigious: Album of the Year (MAYHEM) and Song of the Year (“Abracadabra”).This is especially significant because Lady Gaga went back to her electronic pop and synth-heavy roots on the project, and the decision seems to be paying off. Also, this is the 6th time Gaga is nominated for Album of the Year, as she looks to finally take home the prize that has eluded her to this point in her storied career.In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Lady Gaga divulged some troubling information pertaining to her time working on A Star Is Born. In fact, she rather openly shared with the publication that "I did 'A Star Is Born' on lithium.” Gaga would go on to elaborate on her harrowing experience and on having to cancel her Joanne World Tour in favour of seeking clinical help."There was one day that my sister said to me, ‘I don’t see my sister anymore,’ And I canceled the tour. There was one day I went to the hospital for psychiatric care. I needed to take a break. I couldn’t do anything. … I completely crashed. It was really scary. There was a time where I didn’t think I could get better. … I feel really lucky to be alive. I know that might sound dramatic, but we know how this can go."Luckily, once the treatment had taken its course, Lady Gaga began to feel more like herself as elements of her professional and private life began to fall into place. This includes meeting her future fiancé, Michael Polansky, whose presence she credits heavily for getting back on track and staying there.For more updates on pop culture, keep reading Soap Central!
