Lady Gaga has loved jazz her whole life. She has had a fondness of the genre since childhood and would later become great friends with legendary jazz musician Tony Bennett. The pair became friends when Gaga herself was performing a cover of Nat King Cole's “Orange Colored Sky” in 2011. She was performing this song at a gala in NYC, which Tony Bennett had also attended. This was the same year Bennett invited Gaga to sing on his duet album, to which she said yes. Soon after, Gaga released the album “Cheek to Cheek” in the year 2014. This would be Gaga’s fourth studio album and Bennett's eighty-fourth. Seven years later, they released another collaborative album titled “Love for Sale”. This album did well, scoring Gaga her top tenth record on the billboard two hundred. Fans cherish these albums as they display Bennett's and Gaga’s heartwarming friendship and talent. 

This past year, Gaga performed her “Jazz Tour”. The tour began on August 3rd and ended on October 5th. There are videos from fans posted all over social media, and her tour has become a phenomenon. Gaga is known for her eccentric love for fashion, and in this tour she wears glamorous dresses varying in color and style, displaying her trademark platinum blonde hair in a short and sleek Marilyn Monroe-esque cut. If you aren't familiar, Gaga being the icon she is, has her very own makeup brand named Haus Labs. This tour she has worn makeup from her brand, always sporting a classic red lip with her dresses.

Now that Gaga is done touring, what is she doing? The Rolling Stones are releasing their brand new album, Hackney Diamonds. She’s featured on the single, “Sweet sounds of heaven”, collaborating with Mick Jagger, creating powerful vocal dynamics. Through these unlikely collaborations, Lady Gaga continues to show her musical diversity and amazing talent.
