Lady Gaga took the music scene by storm in 2008 with the release of her single, “Pokerface.” Since then, she has constantly surprised fans and spectators alike with her symbolic videos and her interesting choice of fashion. In November of 2013, Gaga released her third full-length studio album, Artpop. “Applause” led the album as the first single. The second single, “Do What U Want,” was surprisingly successful mostly because it was unlike any other Lady Gaga single. The video was only given a week to be created and shot, which put the pop superstar under tremendous pressure. The video was eventually never released due to mismanagement within her team and her career. Fortunately for Gaga, she is back in 2014 and ready to release her third single and an accompanying video. “G.U.Y” is a song about showing power in an subdominant situation. The song is full of sexual references and symbolism that only Lady Gaga can pull off. To celebrate the release of her new video, take a look at 10 of the most memorable videos featuring Gaga.
