Where were you when Lady Gaga staged her own death at the 2009 MTV VMAs during Paparazzi?
Part two of our diva dive into Lady Gaga's The Fame, Ross and Sam revisit Lady Gaga's pivot from stereotypical dance-pop hitmaker to pop art provocateur with the campaign's third and fourth international singles LoveGame and Paparazzi.
From paying homage to Britney Spears and gender-bending like Madonna in the Joseph Kahn-directed LoveGame to delivering her first original epic with Paparazzi with Jonas Åkerlund, the second half of The Fame rollout aligned her with the pop greats then built a blood-drenched seat at their table. Plus, we revisit how Gaga received the transvestigation treatment by the media, The Fame Ball Tour and her star-making set at Glastonbury.
