14 Moments That Made This a Truly Sensational and Game-Changing Year For Lady Gaga

With a haunting rendition of "Joanne" on a piano made of wings, I'd venture to say there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Lady Gaga has slayed many a performance, and many a Grammy performance specifically, but there was something about this one that was especially touching.

I mean, you can't outfit a piano with wings if you're not going to lie down on it, right? Right?! The only travesty about this moment is that it was caught just from the side, but I want that full bird's-eye fantasy. Alas, you can't always get what you want.

That way, we could cry over and over again! I don't know what's more iconic about this whole affair: her beautiful, flaw-free voice, the black-and-white beauty shots, or the Gaga-esque looks throughout.

No offence, and not to be dramatic, but this is one of the most beautiful Lady Gaga pictures I've ever seen in my entire life. That smile! That plunging neckline! That hair! This is a portrait of a woman who is living her best life. Please put it in the Smithsonian, thank you.

Wow. A star really was born. Everything about this premiere was a swirling spectacle of brilliance. It literally rained on the red carpet, and Gaga gazed to the heavens in awe. Her dress looked perfect from every angle. I lived. I passed away. I was born again.

She was like, "It may be 'Your Song,' but it's my song now, Elton!" Or, you know, something along those lines. I'm kidding, she has a long a glorious friendship with Elton John, and he wanted her to do this cover. I just really wanted to make a pun out of "Your Song." Anyway. As you were.

It's basically going to win all the awards, so excuse me while I scream at the top of my lungs about how good it is.

I didn't know her Stephen Colbert interview was basically going to turn into a psychology lecture, but I'm so glad it did. Gaga laid out why Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony against Brett Kavanaugh may have been one of the most important moments of 2018, and in history. She did that.
