The 39-year-old singer spoke about her Mayhem album, her ongoing Mayhem Ball world tour, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in music. Despite industry fears, Gaga made it clear she isn’t worried about AI replacing real artists.
“Being a human being, I don’t think, is going to go out of style anytime soon,” she said. Gaga stressed that connection, emotion, and discipline still sit at the heart of music, even when pop can feel polished or mathematically perfect. For her, technology doesn’t erase humanity — it only highlights how important it is.
Gaga also hinted that fans may not have to wait long for new material. While touring Mayhem, she’s already writing fresh music. Performing nightly, she explained, puts her in the ideal creative headspace.
“I’ve been making a lot of music,” she said. “It’s kind of the best time to make music when you get to see your fans every night. Energetically, you’re right where you need to be.”
The conversation also turned to jazz, a genre Gaga has embraced alongside her pop superstardom. She released Cheek to Cheek with the late Tony Bennett, followed by 2024’s Harlequin. Gaga described jazz as a form that encourages experimentation rather than perfection.
“What I love about jazz is that you are inherently breaking it the whole time,” she said. “Your ability to love it comes from how much you explore it, mess it up, and break it.” Gaga added that jazz is a style she expects to keep studying — and returning to — for the rest of her career.
Gaga recently wrapped up the 2025 leg of her Mayhem Ball tour in Sydney. The tour resumes in Japan in January, before heading to North America for shows across February, March, and April.
Between touring, writing, and exploring new sounds, Lady Gaga is showing no signs of slowing down — and fans may soon be hearing what comes after Mayhem.
