ladygagaapplauseThis morning I got a press release about Lady Gaga’s new single from “Artpop” dropping soon and it’s called “Applause”.

No, this isn’t breaking news or anything, but what I found most interesting is the new bio that was written for her which pretty much sums up her work over the past five years. Yes, five years, it’s quite a good read. It’s so hard to believe how massive Lady Gaga has become in five years. And even more importantly, all the hard work Team Lady Gaga and her fans have put in to help catapult her to where she is now.

OH, and “Applause” is supposedly available for pre-order in a few weeks time on August 19th, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if a few little monsters leaked it beforehand. Lady Gaga is set to perform “Applause” for the first time at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards on August 25th and yes, the world will be watching to see what the icon of all icons (hehehe) will be doing next…
