It looks like Lady Gaga has something to say ahead of her highly anticipated seventh studio album — and fans are all ears.

The pop star caught the attention of her Little Monsters with a cryptic Instagram post shared Friday (Sept. 20), giving no explanation as she shared a grainy image of white streaky text over a red background. “I’m ready for my interview,” it reads.


What does it mean? Fans have no clue. “WHATS HAPPENING OMG,” one person commented, while another follower wrote, “OH MY GOD!!! I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S ABOUT BUT I’M VERY READY TOO!!!”

Others questioned whether the message had something to do with her upcoming LP or Joker: Folie à Deux, in which she stars as Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix. Gaga has been working on both projects over the past year, and she recently promoted the October-slated movie as well as made her red carpet debut with fiancé Michael Polansky at the Venice International Film Festival.

In a Sept. 5 interview with Vogue, the 13-time Grammy winner revealed that it was Polansky who encouraged her to get back to her dance-pop roots on her new record. “Michael is the person who told me to make a new pop record,” she recalled. “He was like, ‘Babe. I love you. You need to make pop music.’”

She also revealed that the album is scheduled for a February release, with the first single due out in October. “There’s a lot of pain associated with this adventure,” she added in the profile. “And when I start to explore that pain it can bring out another side to my artistry. When I’m here at this studio, I’m relaxed and I am able to face my demons and what’s remarkable is … that’s the music. I’m able to hear it back.”

Live Nation Lost Its Monopoly Trial. What’s Next — and Could Ticketmaster Really Be Sold?

As the dust settles on a jury's antitrust verdict against Live Nation, Billboard unpacks what's next in the high-stakes legal battle.

A jury in New York has found that Live Nation runs an unlawful monopoly that touches multiple corners of the concert industry. But it will take some time before we find out the consequences.

The blockbuster verdict, which came down on Wednesday (April 15) after a monthlong trial and four days of jury deliberations, is limited to findings of liability. That means jurors were asked only to decide whether Live Nation monopolized the market for primary concert ticketing and unlawfully required artists to use its promotion services in order to play its amphitheaters — and they answered a resounding “yes” on all counts.
