Lady Gaga To Make Born This Way Announcement New Year’s Eve

‘My gift to you is a BORN THIS WAY announcement Midnight on NEW YEARS EVE,’ she writes in a Christmas tweet. By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga Photo: Michael Caulfield/ Getty Images Lady Gaga is kicking 2011 off with a bang. The singer shared with her little monsters that, come New Year’s Eve, she will have a special announcement for her loyal fans about her upcoming album, Born This Way. She tweeted over the weekend: “Merry Christmas little monsters! I love you with all my heart. My gift to you is a BORN THIS WAY announcement Midnight on NEW YEARS EVE. -MM.” The Mother Monster didn’t reveal anything else about the announcement but did react to a fan-made video sending Christmas love to the superstar. “This is so darling!” she wrote . “You make me so happy, Im sending you monster kisses!” Gaga had always planned to end 2010 on a high note. She shared with Rolling Stone back in June that she had every intention of making an announcement on New Year’s Eve, even if what she had planned to announce was pre-empted. “I think I’m gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo,” she said of her plans six months ago. “I’ve been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it’s finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artists take years; I don’t. I write music every day.” Since she already revealed her album title at the VMAs , what she plans to announce on New Year’s Eve is a mystery, but we’re sure her fans are counting down the moments. Gaga recently shared that the album will be her “most innovative.” A single is expected in February , and the album will follow shortly thereafter. “[The album is] a marriage of electronic music with major, epic, dare I even say, metal or rock and roll, pop, anthemic style melodies with really sledge-hammering dance beats,” Gaga said. “I think that lyrically this album is more poetic … It’s really written by the fans, they really wrote it for me because every night they’re funneling so much into me. So I wrote it for them. Born This Way is all about my little monsters and me, mother monster.” What do you think Gaga will unveil on New Year’s Eve? Share your guesses in the comments!

Lady Gaga Says She Wrote ‘A #1 Record’ In Cleveland

Gaga told her audience Wednesday night that she’d spent the day in her bus writing a new hit. By James Montgomery Lady Gaga performs in concert (file) Photo: Getty Images When Lady Gaga took the stage at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday night, she managed not to discuss the town’s recently departed superstar LeBron James. But she did announce to the sold-out crowd that earlier in the day, she had written a brand new song that was destined to be a hit. “I wrote a #1 record in Cleveland,” she told her throngs of little monsters, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer, adding that she had skipped a private tour of the city’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to work on the song in her tour bus recording studio. Earlier in the day, she took to her Twitter account to proclaim the same thing, writing, “Emerging from studio coma. Voted no visit to RockNRoll Hall of Fame, rather write a hit that puts me in it.” Gaga didn’t actually play the song in question, but she did rip through a rousing version of “You and I,” the new song she premiered at Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball last month and has been performing at Monster Ball stops ever since. In theory, it’s all leading up to Gaga’s much-anticipated new album , which, according to a recent Rolling Stone interview, is totally finished but won’t be released until “early next year.” Gaga also told the magazine that she plans on getting the title of the album tattooed on her body and then releasing the photo at midnight on New Year’s Eve.
