In 2011, Lady Gaga was at her peak. Artistically and in terms of fame, there was simply no one doing what she was doing.
This was the year she covered Vogue, released Born This Way, and attended the Grammys in a giant egg. This was the year of Gaga.
But then, just as mysteriously as she arrived, Mother Monster disappeared. Not entirely, of course.
She showed up to sing a Christmas hit with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 2013, and she was on hand for the opening moments of European Games in 2015 with her jaw-dropping cover of a John Lennon classic.
But she had largely retreated from the scene. Instead, she retreated inward, spending her time and energy on herself, instead of on her image, or her lavish displays of performance art pop.
She reinvented herself slowly over the course of 2015, announcing her engagement to actor Taylor Kinney, appearing on American Horror Story, and quietly, with typical Gaga wisdom, if not with typical Gaga theatrics, reemerging.
Now, she has been named Billboard’s 2015 Woman of the Year. Go on a walk with Lady Gaga herself in the video below to see what she’s been up to between now and when we saw her last.
And if you’re thrilled that the ultimate pop goddess is back on the scene, please SHARE on Facebook!
