For, after stressing that she’s not creating music for TikTok (but rather for the older audience), the British belter has ushered in a seismic shift in the way albums will be listened to on Spotify moving forward.

Chloe Bailey is booked and busy and the latest stop on the turbo-charged promotional campaign for single ‘Have Mercy’ was Elle‘s Song Association.

Lady Gaga is sounding off in the wake of the not guilty verdict handed down in the controversial case of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Yesterday (November 20), the 18-year-old was acquitted on all charges (including murder) after fatally shooting two men and wounding another during three confrontations on August 25 2020.

Aged 17 at the time of the incident, Rittenhouse armed himself with a semi-automatic rifle – which he used in the killings. 

His attorneys argued a self-defense case and claimed that the teen headed into Kenosha to protect a car dealership from being vandalized and to lend medical assistance amidst race protests in the area; protests that were born out of civil unrest surrounding the shooting of an unarmed Black man by officials two days before.

Rittenhouse’s victims, who were caucasian, were notably part of those protesting racial injustice.

The case and its ultimate outcome have sparked a nationwide outcry.

Now, Gaga has lent her voice to the discourse.
