Not surprising, but always a pleasure, her dress was over-the-top and voice rung out to the heavens
Near the opening of the well planned and nearly perfectly executed inauguration ceremony, Lady Gaga sang her powerful rendition of the National Anthem and did not disappoint.
Afterward she could be seen chatting animatedly through her mask with former President Obama and others, drawing plenty of attention for her golden dove of peace.
My intention is to acknowledge our past, be healing for our present, and passionate for a future where we work together lovingly. I will sing to the hearts of all people who live on this land. Respectfully and kindly, Lady Gaga. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Listen and Watch below – Lady Gaga’s latest Pop Single from her upcoming album
official music video of “stupid love” by lady gaga
Lady Gaga has just released the full version of her newest song called “Stupid Love” from her upcoming sixth album with an accompanying music video. The music video has also been reported to have been entirely shot on an iPhone (11).
The official music video starts out with the caption that reads:
The world rots in conflict. Many tribes battle for dominance. While the Spiritual ones pray and sleep for peace, the Kindness punks fight for the Chromatica.
Lady Gaga Video Caption
Gaga’s 6th album nicknamed LG6 is also rumored to be titled “Chromatica” – it’s still undetermined whether the new album will follow the same theme as “Stupid Love”.
Lady Gaga is covered from head to toe in hot pink: pink hair in a high pony tail, a pink medallion in the shape of a heart placed on her forehead, as well as pink eye shadow and lipstick no doubt from the artist’s new makeup line Haus Labs.
In an interview for Apple Music, she spoke about the message of the new song, stating “there’s nothing more powerful than love to heal the world”.
The fast paced dance song is very reminiscent of the singer/songwriters past pop songs. The video is a visual treat of vivid pink and many other colors set in an intergalactic / futuristic desert mixed with over the top and catchy choreography with dancers dressed in Mad Max-esque costumes.
First is was the FaceApp that added years to your face with its app filter, in the FaceApp Challenge – with questionable issues regarding the origins (Russia) and terms of service agreement.
Now, from a more reassuring source, namely researchers in the US, including some from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, we have the opportunity to see our selfies (and celebrity snaps) transformed into pseudo-classical portrait styles.
The web site upload system, currently down due to massive demand, uses GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) results from 45,000 images in the art history archives to create a new photo based on the original plus the relevant data instructions from the scan.
“With AI Portraits Ars anyone is able to use GAN models to generate a new painting, where facial lines are completely redesigned.
The model decides for itself which style to use for the portrait. Details of the face and background contribute to direct the model towards a style.
In style transfer, there is usually a strong alteration of colors, but the features of the photo remain unchanged. AI Portraits Ars creates new forms, beyond altering the style of an existing photo.”

As can be seen from the montage above (and the version with names added below) the results are often flattering in an odd ancient sort of way. Also, some, such a Keanu Reeves, are obvious (?) whereas others you might never guess!
So below the results and thanks for playing!
The AI Portraits web site should be back up shortly, assuming the rush to try it out eventually slows!
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka, Lady Gaga is adding another dimension to her current house – Haus Beauty, which the star trademarked in late February of this year. The name, Haus of Gaga, is used to describe and represents the team of professional creatives, that together help Gaga in fabricating her innovative and distinct style on the red carpet and on stage.
On July 15th, Lady Gaga’s new make-up and beauty line, Haus Laboratories, will give customers a sneak peak of some of their products on the official pre-order online launch. The line will be available exclusively through hauslabs.com and on amazon.com (for Prime members only).
Strategically planned, the launch date coincides with the first Prime Day (this year it will take place on both July 15th and 16th).
Lady Gaga’s choice to partner with Amazon for her make-up line is in contrast to some other major celebrity cosmetic lines, who chose to team up with fashion retailers such as Sephora or Ulta, (Rihanna, Kat Von D, Jennifer Lopez ) or to keep the business completely in house, such as Kylie Jenner (Shopify).

Why did Gaga choose Amazon? In an interview with Business of Fashion (BoF), Gaga stated that other companies were not willing to accept all of her vision and would have wanted her to change parts of her “equation”, to which Gaga ultimately said “No deal. “No message of self-acceptance, no deal”, as she put it. She went on to say that Amazon gave her free rein in creating her brand and all she’s envisioned for it.
Lady Gaga’s brand has been synonymous with all that is unique, daring to push the norm with provocative and visually experimental choices, in both her costumes and performances. She has thrived on being “different” and at the same time champions self-acceptance and love for all: it’s no surprise that she wants her make up line to embody those qualities as well.

Lady Gaga told Business of Fashion, her new make-up line is about “inclusion” and aimed for everyone. “I have a platform in the world. God gave me this voice for a reason, I don’t know why, I ask myself that question all the time, but I’m sure as hell not going to put out a beauty brand that is going to drive insecurity and fear into people. This is about liberation”, she said.

Gaga and her team carefully crafted theme names for the varying shades, with a unique names like Aphrodite, Myth, Venus, Chained Ballerina, En Pointe and Corset. All of Haus Laboratories products are cruelty-free and vegan.
“At Haus Laboratories, we want you to see yourself. When you look in that mirror, we want you to go: ‘That’s the you that I love. I’m in love with that person.’ I don’t want people to feel like they have to look like me.”
– Lady Gaga
After pre-order launch, products will be available for purchase beginning in September on both hauslabs.com and Amazon. The line is also rumored to include a full collection in the future with additional products like foundation, perfume, highlighter, skin line, and nail polish. The kits will be available in the US, UK, France, Germany and Japan; additionally customers outside the three continents will still be able to buy through the global store.
Lady Gaga is just one celebrity amongst many that are teaming up with Amazon for Prime Day with touted “star-studded deals”. Kristen Bell – This Saves Lives (granola bars with proceeds that helps children in need), Jaden Smith – JUST Water (eco-friendly water), Hilary Duff – Cubcoats (hoodies that fold into a stuff animal), and Kobe Bryant – Art of Sport (body skincare line), to name just a few, are some of the big names Amazon has chosen to offer new collaborations and exclusive deals with to kick off one of the largest online shopping days of the year. Gaga’s Haus Laboratories will make its Amazon debut and allow Prime members the opportunity to pre-order products before the September release.
