Lady Gaga has firmly established herself as a cultural icon, captivating audiences worldwide with her chart-topping hits like “Born This Way”and “Bad Romance.”Her artistic journey has transcended music, particularly highlighted by her remarkable foray into acting.

This portrayal garnered her a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series, further solidifying her credentials as a multifaceted talent.

With an impressive collection of accolades, Gaga is a worthy contender for the prestigious EGOT status, which recognizes artists who have received an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award.
