In addition to readying her upcoming album titled “Mayhem,” which is set for release on March 7th, the renowned pop artist will make an appearance in the third season of the popular Netflix series “Wednesday,” a spin-off of The Adams Family, headlined by Jenna Ortega.

Lady Gaga confessed to a media outlet that when the apprehension about not succeeding takes over, it can become overwhelming and hard to manage. She further noted that this is all part of the chaos surrounding her eagerly awaited upcoming album.

Regarding Joker 2, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Lady Gaga expressed optimism about director Todd Phillips’s creative direction for the movie. In an interview with Variety last August, she shared that Phillips brought a daring and intricate layer to the plot through his innovative idea.
