Little Monsters, rejoice!, Lady Gaga‘s sixth solo album, MAYHEM, is officially a two-time GRAMMY®-winning release. The album won Best Pop Vocal Album—the same category Gaga first took in 2011 with The Fame Monster. She also won Best Dance Pop Recording for her anthemic pop spell, “Abracadabra.”

Gaga, who was also a performer last night, commanded the stage, delivering a jaw-dropping, heavy pop-rock arrangement of “Abracadabra.”  Produced for the Grammy-stage, all eyes were on the 16x GRAMMY® winner as she shred through an adrenaline-filled cut of her latest hit. An artist who has long studied and exemplified the art of thoughtful visuals and iconic performances, she returned to the GRAMMY stage in full form, six years after her last performance in 2019, delivering one of the night’s most memorable performances.

MAYHEM marks Lady Gaga’s return to a darker pop framework, filtered through alternative rock, disco, funk, and her loved electropop formula. The album includes standout tracks like the disco-forward “Shadow of a Man,” frenetic noir funk anthem “Killah” featuring Gesaffelstein, and the high-energy pop track “Garden of Eden.” Released in March via Interscope Records, the album is available now on all platforms. Stream MAYHEM.
