Gaga's five succeeding studio albums all debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Her second full-length album, Born This Way (2011), explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold more than one million copies in its first week. The title track became the fastest-selling song on the iTunes Store, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Following her EDM-influenced third album, Artpop (2013), and its lead single "Applause", Gaga released the jazz album Cheek to Cheek (2014) with Tony Bennett, and the soft rock album Joanne (2016). She ventured into acting, winning awards for her leading roles in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016) and the musical film A Star Is Born (2018). Her contributions to the latter's soundtrack, which spawned the chart-topping single "Shallow", made her the first woman to win an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe Award and Grammy Award in one year. Gaga returned to dance-pop with her sixth studio album, Chromatica (2020), which yielded the number-one single "Rain on Me". She followed this with her second collaborative album with Bennett, Love for Sale, and a starring role in the biopic House of Gucci, both in 2021.
Having sold an estimated 170 million records, Gaga is one of the world's best-selling music artists and the only female artist to achieve four singles that each sold at least 10 million copies globally. Her accolades include 13 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, 18 MTV Video Music Awards, awards from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and recognition as Billboard's Artist of the Year (2010) and Woman of the Year (2015). She has also been included in several Forbes' power rankings and ranked fourth on VH1's Greatest Women in Music (2012). Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010 and 2019 and placed her on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list. Her philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights; she has her own non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation, which supports the wellness of young people. Gaga's business ventures include Haus Labs, a vegan cosmetics brand launched in 2019.

Fold 'em, let 'em, hit me, raise it baby stay with me (I love it)

A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love, if its not rough it isn't fun, fun

The lyrics of Lady Gaga's song "Poker Face" use gambling metaphors to describe a romantic relationship. The singer compares herself to a poker player, wanting to "hold 'em" and "fold 'em" in the game just like they do in Texas plays. She is confident in her love game intuition and describes playing the cards with spades to start. The chorus "Can't read my poker face" reinforces the idea that the singer is good at bluffing, not showing her true emotions and intentions to her partner.
Furthermore, the lyrics mention Russian roulette and imply that the singer enjoys taking risks in her relationships. She warns that love is not fun if it's not rough, and she won't admit her love for her partner because she's bluffing with her "muffin." The singer says she's not lying, but rather "stunning" with her "love glue gunnin'," indicating that she's manipulating her partner's emotions.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a confident and flirtatious woman who is in control of her romantic relationships. She uses poker metaphors to describe the dynamics between her and her partner, and the chorus emphasizes the idea of keeping her emotions hidden, just like a poker player keeps their cards hidden.
