Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga (born March 28, 1986, as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) is a transformative American singer-songwriter, actress, and cultural icon renowned for her versatile vocals and provocative, boundary-pushing style. After rising to global superstardom with her 2008 debut album The Fame and hits like "Just Dance" and "Poker Face", she solidified her status as a pop pioneer with theatrical performances and self-empowerment anthems such as "Born This Way". Beyond her 16 Grammy Awards, she achieved historic recognition in film, becoming the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Grammy in a single year for her work on A Star Is Born (2018) and its chart-topping single "Shallow". Most recently, she released her seventh studio album, Mayhem (2025), and starred as Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux (2024). An influential activist, she continues to champion mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights through her Born This Way Foundation.
