Synopsis
As one of the world’s best-selling musicians, Lady Gaga has set the musical bar high. Since her debut album, The Fame (2008), she has sold more than 124 million records and scooped numerous awards, including twelve Grammy Awards and eighteen MTV Music Video Awards. Yet she is much more than a musician. At the helm of the Haus of Gaga—a close-knit circle of behind-the-scenes creatives—Lady Gaga is a performance artist like no other; her forward-thinking fashions and innovations mark her out as the ultimate maverick. Recently, she has reinvented herself as an accomplished jazz performer, dueting with legendary singer Tony Bennett on Cheek to Cheek (2014) and Love For Sale (2021), while also proving herself a consummate actor with lead roles in A Star Is Born (2018) and House of Gucci (2021). And with her advocacy for LGBT rights and active championing of kindness via the Born This Way Foundation, co-founded with her mother Cynthia Germanotta in 2011, it’s clear to see why her fans adore her. Lady Gaga: Applause is a celebration of a true artist of our time. Illustrated throughout with stunning photography and complementary fashion segments, this comprehensive history follows Lady Gaga’s ever-evolving and often unpredictable career, and is testament to her many talents. A must for Little Monsters everywhere.
My Review
This was a fantastic book. I really enjoyed reading it and it was packed full of wonderful pictures. I am a big fan of lady gaga but love her boldness, wearing such unusual fashion. So this book was a perfect fit for me. I now feel like I really know her and that there is a really amazing woman behind the fantastic fashion. This book definitely took me on an amazing journey through the thrilling life of lady gaga. I really loved reading about the many costume changes at music awards. Also I learnt about the reasons behind the meat dress which is something I have always wondered. It was great learning how lady gaga made alot of her own outfits. And her talents in writing songs for other people. She is definitely a woman of many talents. I felt the author did an amazing job at portraying such an amazing musian. The layout was fantastic with a great mix of pictures and text. The book flowed amazingly and I loved every second. It was a real page turner that I just had to finish in one sitting.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such an amazing and fascinating read.
