Gaga shared a hysterical behind-the-scenes clip from the “Rain On Me” music video. Back in May 2020, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande dropped the official music video for their larger-than-life collaboration “Rain On Me.” The rave-themed cyberpunk video was a masterstroke in choreography and added another degree of legend to the instant classic, which we predicted as an early frontrunner for the 2020 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. Lady Gaga has now taken to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the scintillating music video. “I’m still glowing from all of the love for “Rain On Me” from the VMAs!” she wrote. “So [Ariana Grande] and I wanted to share some of the fun we had making the video.” The clip features a ...

Following the release of her sixth studio album Chromatica, Lady Gaga is going to need a forklift to haul the hardware coming her way. According to a report by Bloomberg, Gaga has dethroned Bad Bunny as the world’s biggest pop star thanks to the EDM-inspired Chromatica, which features production from Madeon, Skrillex, Tchami, Axwell, and Boys Noize, among others.
