When Lady Gaga planned an appearance on Gossip Girl, she had an idea of what she’d be wearing. But in true Gaga style, the end result was something of a spectacle.“We discussed having a very flowy red dress,” she said on the set of the show after filming a performance of her new single, “Bad Romance.” “But [the dress] arrived today and it’s about 30-feet long! That was an adjustment. But nothing that I couldn’t handle.”
She can say that again: Gaga worked the epic garment in rehearsals, wowing the crew who watched her intently as she and her dancers put on a show.
“It’s a little bit more of a fashion montage,” she says of her performance on the show, which aired las night on the CW. “It’s very performance art.”
But the storyline is pure Gossip Girl. On the episode, Blair (Leighton Meester) feels the need to impress her new classmates at New York University and gain some traction in the social scene, so she promises a private concert with Gaga.
“I do like the show,” says Gaga, who caught up on several episodes while working in Germany. Her youngest sister, adds Gaga, is “the hugest fan.”
As for her audience, the pop star says there’s an overlap among her fans and the show’s viewers: “I’ve got so many young fans,” she says. “I forget sometimes, but I try to be mindful of that in my work.” And the performance, she promises with the slightest of smiles, will thrill.
“For me, this is one of the most innovative ways an artist has performed on a television show,” she says. “It’s exciting.”
