Lady Gaga has been spotted at the Louvre in Paris, setting off a wave of excitement and speculation among fans. Many believe the pop icon is filming a music video for her highly anticipated seventh studio album, tentatively referred to as LG7. The sighting comes just after Gaga teased that the lead single from the album would be released in October, with the full album slated for a February 2025 debut.
While Gaga has been busy promoting her role as Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux, she’s also hinted at new music, which has her Little Monsters buzzing. Last month, she unexpectedly dropped the track “Die With A Smile,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars. This track, paired with her work on LG7, marks her first solo album since the explosive success of 2020’s Chromatica.
The possibility of filming at the Louvre has fans drawing parallels with other iconic visuals shot at the museum, most notably Beyoncé and Jay Z’s Apeshit video in 2018. Gaga herself is no stranger to Paris, having previewed some snippets of the new album for lucky fans on the streets of the city earlier this summer, shortly after she stunned the world with her performance at the Olympic opening ceremony.
Despite the excitement, details about LG7 remain under wraps. However, Gaga has dropped subtle hints throughout the year, teasing her time in the studio and sharing insights into her creative process. She has described this new project as something entirely different from her previous work, hinting at a sonic evolution for the singer.
In addition to her music, Gaga has stayed active in her acting career, starring in House of Gucci and the Joker sequel. She also released Love For Sale in 2021 with the late Tony Bennett, continuing her long-standing tradition of musical reinvention. Gaga recently confirmed her engagement to entrepreneur Michael Polansky, and it looks like 2025 will be another defining year for the global superstar.
