Following the release of ‘Cowboy Carter‘ teasers during the 2024 Super Bowl, fans of Lady Gaga and Beyoncé speculated about a potential reunion for their 2010 hit ‘Telephone’. After months of speculation, Gaga, promoting the May 25 premiere of her HBO concert film ‘Gaga Chromatica Ball’, addressed the rumors.
“I have been working on my new music all the time and I truly live and breathe it,” the GRAMMY and ACADEMY Award-winning artist told Entertainment Tonight. “I just can’t wait to give it to the fans.” Gaga’s last solo release was Chromatica in 2020, followed by Love for Sale, a duet album with the late Tony Bennett, in 2021. When asked about the “completely different project,” Gaga said: “They hate when I say, ‘Soon,’ but soon.”

She was also asked about reuniting with Queen Bey. Without denying any potential new collaboration, the 38-year-old “Just Dance” singer said, “Whenever Beyoncé calls, I’d like to pick up the phone.” Before the screening, Gaga spoke with Access Hollywood’s Scott Evans, expressing her gratitude for “being here with all of you.” Sharing her enthusiasm, Gaga told the audience of several hundred fans, “This was such a special time. This tour happened during a period when people didn’t think that you could tour [amid the pandemic] and stadiums were packed all over the world, sold out, with everyone dressed up, dancing, and singing.”
During the conversation, Gaga revealed that she “did five shows with COVID,” sharing this experience with her team. “I said, ‘I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable at work and you don’t have to perform or work that day, but I’m going to do the show’ because I didn’t want to let all the fans down. And I saw it as the fans putting themselves in harm’s way every day to come to the show.” The news about Gaga’s new album coincides with fans anticipating her role as the iconic DC Comics villain “Harley Quinn” in the upcoming ‘Joker: Folie a Deux’ film, set to release on October 4. Gaga Chromatica Ball will premiere on May 25 on HBO and will be available for streaming on Max.
