Lady Gaga Surprises French Fans By Blasting Snippets of Two New LG7 Songs on Street

Surely you didn’t think Lady Gaga would fly all the way over to Paris for just one Summer Olympics performance? After the singer lit up the Sienne on Friday night when she wowed the rain-drenched crowd along the banks of the river and all those watching from the dry comfort of their homes around the globe, Mother Monster thanked her Parisian fans later in the weekend with a sneak preview of two songs intended for her upcoming seventh studio album.

In an Instagram Story on Sunday, Gaga teased a first listen to her follow-up to 2020’s Chromatica. “I’m so deeply touched by my French fans this week outside the hotel,” she wrote before coming outside to play the new music. “I’m gonna come out and say goodbye tonight with a few seconds of #LG7.”

Gaga then, as promised, queued up some music as camera flashes lit up the night and she pumped her fist while playing songs on a laptop from the sunroof of a limo. The two songs had thumping beats and bass-heavy keyboards, as well as lyrics that were hard to decipher over the shouting of her amped-up French fans, though it did appear at one point that Gaga mouthed the words “I’ve become what was holding me.”

The as-yet-untitled album will be Gaga’s first new studio album since Chromatica, with no release date yet announced.

The streetside surprise came after Gaga spent time taking in swimming and gymnastics events following her Parisian cabaret-style performance ahead of the official kick-off of this summer’s games. Gaga sang the French-language “Mon Truc en Plume” (“My Thing With Feathers”) in a highly choreographed, playful, routine in which she flitted up and down a grand staircase surrounded by dancers carrying huge pink pom-poms.

Gaga also seemed to break some news over the weekend when she referred to longtime boyfriend Michael Polansky as “my fiancé” when being introduced to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.
