The idea of big fun suggests the existence of little fun, and Lady Gaga is now the kind of pop star who can do both. “Just Dance.” Meat dress. Being carried down the red carpet at the Grammys inside an egg.

Mayhem, Lady Gaga’s new album is finally out and it marks a distinct move back to that original explosive artist we know and love. An actress, a beauty mogul, an activist, and, of course, a Grammy winning singer — there’s very little Stefani Germanotta aka Lady Gaga hasn’t done.

An entertainer for the ages, Lady Gaga has nothing left to prove. She could sell out stadiums and win another Oscar in a heartbeat. She could host Saturday Night Live and serve as the musical guest — as she did last weekend — while redefining fashion trends on red carpets across the globe.
