Gaga’s latest album, MAYHEM, is up for both Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, while the hit single “Abracadabra” is nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Dance Pop Recording. “Disease” is also nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance, and Harlequin, her album tied to the 2024 film Joker: Folie à Deux, is in contention for Best Traditional Pop Album.
If Gaga performs a track from MAYHEM, it would mark her first performance of an original song on the Grammys since 2019, when she performed “Shallow” alongside her collaborators Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt, and Anthony Rossomando.
In her most recent Grammy performances, Gaga has delivered covers rather than her own material. In 2022, she performed Cole Porter classics “Love for Sale” and “Do I Love You” as a tribute to Tony Bennett, with whom she recorded an all-Porter album. Last year, she and Bruno Mars were scheduled to perform their hit “Die With a Smile,” but instead pivoted to The Mamas & The Papas’ “California Dreamin’” to honor those affected by devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area.
Gaga has won 14 Grammy Awards, but she has yet to secure a win in one of the “Big Four” categories — Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. She remains one of the biggest contemporary stars without a win in those marquee categories.
