Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Known for her image reinventions and versatility across the entertainment industry, she is an influential figure in popular music. With estimated sales of 124 million records, she is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Publications such as Billboard and Rolling Stone have ranked her among the greatest artists in history. After signing with Interscope Records in 2007, Gaga achieved global recognition with her debut album, The Fame (2008), and its reissue, The Fame Monster (2009). The project yielded a string of successful singles, including "Just Dance", "Poker Face", and "Bad Romance", making her one of the few artists with at least 3 Diamond-certified songs in the US. Her second studio album, Born This Way (2011), explored electronic rock and techno-pop and sold 1.1 million copies in its first week in the US. Its title track became the fastest-selling song on the iTunes Store, with over one million downloads in less than a week. Following her electronic dance music-influenced third album, Artpop (2013), she pursued jazz on the album Cheek to Cheek (2014) with Tony Bennett. She delved into soft rock on the album Joanne (2016). Gaga also ventured into acting, gaining praise for her leading roles in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016) and the films A Star Is Born (2018) and House of Gucci (2021). Her contributions to the A Star Is Born soundtrack, which spawned the chart-topping single "Shallow", made her the first person to win an Academy Award, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy Award in one year. Gaga returned to her early sound with the pop-oriented albums Chromatica (2020) and Mayhem (2025), which respectively included the number-one singles "Rain on Me" and "Die with a Smile". She also continued to explore jazz with Love for Sale (2021), her second and final album with Bennett, and the soundtrack Harlequin (2024). Gaga has seven number-one albums and six number-one songs on the US Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts, respectively. She is the only female artist with four singles that each sold at least 10 million copies globally, and she holds the record for the most-attended concert by a woman. The highest-paid female musician in 2011, she has received 14 Grammy Awards, 22 MTV Video Music Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Sports Emmy Award, and recognition from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Gaga's philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBTQ rights. Her business ventures include vegan cosmetics brand Haus Labs and the non-profit Born This Way Foundation, which supports the wellness of young people.

The film picks up the story of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) now confined to Arkham Asylum, where his fame following the events of the first film has turned him into an idol. There, he meets an inmate named Lee (played by Lady Gaga), who is fascinated by his story. Arthur, who has always longed for acceptance and love, feels special because someone finally "sees him and loves him." What Arthur doesn't realize is that she doesn't love the fragile Arthur Fleck, but rather the symbol of chaos, the Joker. She begins to manipulate and corrupt him, encouraging him to escape and embrace his darkest side. They escape Arkham and form a criminal alliance, building an organization of followers and plunging into a crime spree inspired by Bonnie and Clyde and with the dark aesthetic of Sweeney Todd. Throughout this journey, Arthur progressively loses his humanity for her sake, becoming more ruthless, cold, and calculating: the Joker we know from the comics. Key Moments and Epic Finale: 1. The Final Betrayal (The Climax): The film's turning point occurs after the gang's final heist. The couple escapes in a helicopter. In an emotional and deceptive monologue, the Joker thanks Harley for transforming him. She, proud and happy, believes they have triumphed together. It is then that he reveals the truth: "I've realized I can't be the Joker completely yet... because I love you so much. And that's why this is where you stop, my love." He then pushes her out of the helicopter. His love becomes the final catalyst for his pure evil. 2. The Birth of the Classic Look: In a later scene, at his new secret base, the Joker sheds his old clothes and dons his iconic purple suit and classic makeup, similar to the design in Batman Under the Red Hood, completing his physical transformation. 3. The Iconic Musical Closing (Film Ending): The film ends with the Joker, dressed in his classic suit, singing and dancing to Frank Sinatra's "My Way." The lyrics perfectly reflect his journey. After the final line, "I can go on all the way... My way," the music stops. He relaxes for a moment and looks directly at the camera. With a laugh of utter madness (not the laugh of his condition), and clutching his head as on the iconic cover of Batman: The Killing Joke, the film ends, leaving the audience with chills and ready for the Batman universe.
