Lady Gaga BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Lady Gaga continues to dominate headlines and stages as she enters the heart of her blockbuster Mayhem Ball world tour in support of her latest album Mayhem, which recently debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and has already spun off four top-40 hits, her biggest multi-single achievement from a single album since 2013 according to Mix929. The three-night Chicago leg at the United Center, which kicked off September 15 and continues through September 18, has been widely praised for its theatrical ambition and sense of intimacy—Gaga herself described the production as a deliberate move away from stadium spectacle toward something more connected with her audience, recalling her love for live, theatrical art and marking her first arena tour since 2018, as reported by the United Center.

On the red carpet of her own life, Gaga has been anything but shy. Just last week, she made a rare, extended public tribute to her fiancé, San Francisco tech entrepreneur and producer Michael Polansky, via Instagram, calling him her creative partner on Mayhem and crediting him with urging her return to pop—a love letter that went viral and was picked up by outlets like the San Francisco Chronicle. In the post, she revealed that a candid desert photo of the couple doubled as the bedside snap referenced in her new track Vanish Into You. Their engagement, first revealed at last year’s Paris Olympics, remains a backdrop to her current chapter, with cameo appearances at her shows and reported encouragement backstage.

Onstage, the reviews have been stellar. PureWow calls the Mayhem Ball the best live theatrical event of 2025, a 150-minute, five-act tour de force that even the most jaded critics found surpassingly inventive. Not content with the stage, Gaga has also crossed into streaming; her single The Dead Dance, featured in the second season of Netflix’s Wednesday, was released with a Tim Burton-directed video, and she made a surprise cameo in the series itself, as noted by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Behind the scenes, Gaga’s tour logistics saw a shake-up: the Miami stop scheduled for early September was postponed to March 2026, with all tickets honored or refunds offered, according to the Kaseya Center. The tour has already been extended into 2026, with new dates added in Boston, Los Angeles, and other cities.

Gaga’s emotional honesty also made news: at a recent New York City concert, she broke down in tears recalling her early struggles in the city, sharing poignant encouragement from Polansky and a friend that moved the crowd, as covered by AOL.

In a quieter but significant archival moment, a handwritten letter from Gaga to her idol David Bowie was unveiled at the new David Bowie Centre in London, revealing the depth of her artistic hero worship, though it’s unclear if the two ever met, according to Hit Channel.

All told, Lady Gaga’s September has been a masterclass in balancing the personal and the global, the nostalgic and the now, proving yet again her uncanny ability to surprise and move millions—onstage, online, and in public life.
