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.

Lady Gaga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No good boys ever go to heaven.
Bodies moving, wonderland,
Open mouth kiss and we dance.
I can't believe, c-c-can't,
Can't believe that I met you.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh),
Pink champagne,
Mirror ball spinning 'round again,
In this wonderland,
Where I met you.
(Talk to me, talk to me)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh),
So DJ play,
Let the record spin again,
In this wunderland
Where I met you.
(Talk to me, talk to me)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Hold your breath and count to eleven
(music, music, just music, music)
Bodies moving, wonderland,
Open mouth kiss and we dance.
I can't believe, c-c-can't,
Can't believe that I met you.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh),
Pink champagne,
Mirror ball spinning 'round again, In this wonderland,

Talk to me baby,

Talk to me baby.

The lyrics to Lady Gaga's song Wunderland are about losing oneself in the moment of a night out. The first line "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, no good boys ever go to heaven" sets the tone for a night of recklessness and fun. The next lines "Bodies moving, wonderland, open mouth kiss and we dance" further emphasize the idea of letting go and enjoying oneself. Gaga is amazed that she met the person she's with, "I can't believe, c-c-can't, can't believe that I met you."
The chorus of the song repeatedly mentions "wonderland" and the excitement of the night. The pink champagne and the mirror ball spinning show the opulence of the surroundings. The singer asks the DJ to play the record again and take her back to the moment where she met her love interest. The bridge of the song tells the listener to count to eleven and just let the music take over.
Overall, the song glorifies the carefree nature of a night out, where nothing else matters except dancing and being with the person you love. The lyrics are riddled with imagery of extravagance and indulgence.

I just noticed that...
Lady Gaga's real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta
Take Angelina Germanotta for a while.
From Angelina you take Lina.
From Germanotta you take some letters (GeRMANOttA).
Rearrange those letters and you have Morgana.
Lina Morgana comes from Angelina Germanotta, which is, after all, Lady Gaga.

@ericajean1013
I’m just wondering why there is never any public mention of Lady Gaga and Lina Morgana working together...even on Gaga’s Wikipedia. It talks about tons of others Gaga has worked with and written songs for but nothing at all when it comes to Lina. Why? I tried to edit her page myself to add their collaboration, but it’s “protected” to prevent vandalism? Really? I’ve never heard of such a thing; I thought anyone could add to Wikipedia as long as you have referencing material. Very strange. Just saying...
@DRXSSYOUUP
she isn't mentioned because this never got released similar how kendrick lamar isn't mentioned even though they did partynauseous and bitch don't kill my vibe or cher who did the greatest thing w her
@buddhaspalm3324
Pray for Lina's soul to be released from the body of Lady Gaga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmMto02139M This is very dark magik and is 100% possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8NXit-Tt9U The target must die in order to feed the aura of the material girl 666 satanist Gaga. Keywords: Just Dance, Radio Gaga, Fame Monster; My Little Monsters, etc. She is a dark version of Lena Morgana. The world deserves better and real talent producing an inspiring evolution through arts, but satanists and freemasons (illuminati puppets) want to keep the Post Malone, Gaga, Minaj, etc. shit to maintain humanity dumb, numb and in a materialistic 666 state: sorry but no evolution to you... If you want to do some research about satanism and they true tenets just watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUDdOR618xE
