Lady Gaga Releases ‘Born This Way’: The Tenth Anniversary
Lady Gaga has released Born This Way: The Tenth Anniversary in honor of her iconic second studio album, which had been released 10 years ago on May 23, 2011. Mother Monster had to do something special for her Little Monsters to recognize this album that celebrates love and acceptance. It comes at no better time than right now, as Pride Month is still underway. She hopes this reimagined album will further the notion for Little Monsters to rejoice and love themselves today and every day because they were born this way.
Gaga enlisted the help of various LGBTQIA+ allies in the industry, such as Kylie Minogue, The Highwomen, Big Freedia, Ben Platt, Orville Peck, and Years and Years. The first reimagined track came from Big Freedia, who shared their take on “Judas.”
