Lady Gaga is trying to keep a smile on her face after the disappointing audience response to Joker: Folie à Deux. In an interview with Elle magazine that published online Tuesday, the star discussed director Todd Phillips' recent sequel,

The Joaquin Phoenix-led film was dubbed one of the "worst" movies of 2024: "You have to be willing for people to sometimes not like it."

After releasing a “Joker 2” companion album, titled “Harlequin,” last fall, Gaga announced on Monday that her next album, “Mayhem,” will release on March 7.

The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” she said about the upcoming project.

Lady Gaga's seventh studio album will be released in March, the Grammy winner announced on Monday, Jan. 27. The 14-track album is called 'Mayhem' and is set to take Gaga back to her pop roots.

In the video, the songstress can be seen in photographs where she is no longer sporting her signature long blonde locks. Gaga instead opted for a shorter cut and a darker color for her hair, reminiscent of Joan Jett. She also wore red lipstick with silver eyeshadow in the video, along with a black outfit and matching gloves.
