The requests ranged across the board, from Madonna to Lil Nas X. And it wasn’t long until confirmations started rolling in.

Lady Gaga Looks Like She’s Leaving the Gym Until You See Her 8-Inch Platform Boots
Despite recently returning from the far away planet of Chromatica, Lady Gaga continues to remind us that she is the most fashionable alien to walk this Earth. The House of Gucci multi-hyphenate was seen on Wednesday, 4 Aug. in a Marc Jacobs set and a casual pair of 8-inch platform boots. Although the baby blue Marc Jacobs sport set Gaga is wearing is adorable and we absolutely want one, it feels almost unnatural to see her in such a tame outfit. Then, of course, we see her white patent Pleaser boots with a neck-breaking eight-inch platform heel, and all is right in the world again. Gaga is a huge fan of Pleaser’s iconic shoes, and the singer’s collection of sky-high platform heels has been growing since her ArtPop fashion era in the 2010s.

The 40 Greatest Music Video Artists
Music videos are the perfect bastard child of art and commerce, even more than pop music itself. A promotional visual accompaniment to a popular song doesn’t need a coherent narrative (although on rare occasions, they do). It just needs to suit the song, sell the record, and possibly make the artist look cool. But since the launch of MTV 40 years ago this week, a select few recording artists have helped raise music videos to an art form — sometimes by accident, and sometimes by carefully curating the work of brilliant directors like Mark Romanek, Hype Williams, and Spike Jonze. Here are 40 artists from the last four decades that helped video kill the radio star. 40. Lil Kim [embedded content] Although earlier female MCs like Salt-N-Pepa and Queen Latifah used music videos to help launch th...
