Lady Gaga’s much-anticipated album, *Mayhem*, dropped at midnight on Friday. Fans in New York City welcomed her with excitement just moments after its release.
Gaga, 38, showed off a bold raven bob haircut and bleached eyebrows. She brightened the crowd with her smile, signing autographs and snapping selfies. Dressed in an edgy black leather outfit and futuristic sunglasses, she looked every bit the pop icon.
Her fiancé, Michael Polansky, who helped co-produce this album along with Andrew Watt, was not present at the launch event.
*Mayhem* is Gaga’s seventh studio album and has already received rave reviews. Critics and fans alike are calling it a ‘masterpiece.’ This new album follows her earlier work, *Chromatica*, which was released during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
The album features 14 tracks, including her duet with Bruno Mars, *Die With A Smile*. Critics highlight that Gaga returns to her core themes of sex, sleaze, and celebrity, delivering well-crafted songs with interesting twists. Alexis Petridis from The Guardian rated it four stars.
Fans have praised the album for its fun vibes and danceable beats. Many registered their favorites, like *Garden Of Eden*, *Zombieboy*, *Perfect Celebrity*, and *Shadow Of A Man*. One fan described it as a genre-bender, showcasing Gaga’s diverse talents.
In an interview before the release, Gaga shared how her fiancé’s unique marriage proposal inspired one of the songs on the album. She recalled their conversation about how she would like to be proposed to and mentioned using a blade of grass. When Michael proposed with a blade of grass on April Fool’s Day, she thought he was joking at first.
Along with that whimsical ring, he also included a stunning eight-carat diamond, which she has been proudly showing off. Their engagement became public when she introduced Michael as her fiancé during a trip to Paris last summer.
During the same interview, Gaga reflected on how Michael provides her with emotional support. She expressed how important it is to feel valued for who she is, beyond her music and public persona. “He just wants me to be okay,” she shared, emphasizing the deep bond they have.
As she celebrates the release of *Mayhem*, Gaga is also set to host and perform on Saturday Night Live, which adds another exciting layer to this buzzing moment in her career.
