I just watched Lady Gaga’s Vanity Fair lie detector test and I have some thoughts. But first… 

Gaga is in promotion for her upcoming album, Mayhem, due out March 7. She just this week broke the Spotify record for female artist with the most monthly listeners. Her new song, “Abracadabra” is doing well on socials – a lot of people are hopping on the choreo, not sure about you but it’s all over TikTok whenever I open the app. 

 

And, also, it’s a good song, a classic Gaga vibe. So there’s a lot of excitement as we approach the album drop. 

The rollout for Mayhem actually started back in the fall, with “Disease”, the album’s lead single. And her look, for the most part, has been black hair, severe makeup. With “Abracadabra”, she brought out the blonde wig, done in the “medieval queen” style we saw in the video. Which is also how she shows up for Vanity Fair’s lie detector. 

 

I LOVE her in this shade of blonde, and with the super light eyebrows, and the light fresh makeup. Like, LOVE. Her face, it’s so soft and pretty, I can’t stop staring at it, am obsessed with the lip colour. Also they lit the sh-t out of her. 

 

 

Whoever wrote these questions is a gossipy troll, our kind of people. This is what the internet wants to know – starting with “Telephone” feat Beyoncé and the 15 year anticipation for part two. She says “yes” it’s going to happen. But we don’t know when. And it’s not because of their schedules either. So, basically, they’re just not about giving us what we want when we want it. Fair.

 

Anyway, the whole lie detector thing is cute, Gaga is cute, but one of her answers threw me – it’s when she’s asked about how she orders her red wine. And she says “with maraschino cherries and Diet Coke”. Pass on the cherries but … Diet Coke? 

 

Here’s my confession about red wine: I don’t really f-ck with it, to me it’s overrated. I have friends who are wine kinks and they’ve collected all kinds of beautiful reds from around the world, and generously shared with me some of their most prized bottles. Which I feel bad about because it’s wasted on my trash low class palate. Red wine just doesn’t hit for me. But red wine and Diet Coke? I would probably drink more red wine if you served it to me with Diet Coke. Might crack open a bottle and a can tonight. Will report back but understand if you're appalled.
