Lady Gaga‘s got a packed schedule right now, between promoting her new single and preparing for the premiere of her new film. But Mother Monster still made sure there was enough time to keep her fans fed.

In a post to her X account on Tuesday (Sept. 3), Gaga shared a glimpse at her itinerary for the next month, including premieres and press junkets for Joker: Folie à Deux. But at the bottom of the photo, the star also revealed that fans waiting for her long-awaited seventh studio album won’t have to wait much longer. Following a note stating the Oct. 4 premiere date for the new film, Gaga’s schedule ended with a line that read, “XX October: LG7 first single.”

The news comes amid a series of teases from the pop star for her new album. At the end of her concert film Gaga Chromatica Ball, Gaga first revealed the existence of the new record, with the words “LG7 GAGA RETURNS” flashing across the screen. Then, following her performance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the star took to the streets outside of her hotel to play eager fans two short snippets of new songs off the project.

Fans got a first glimpse at what new music from her album might sound like with “Die With a Smile,” the singer’s romantic collaboration with Bruno Mars. The song debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated Aug. 31, marking the singer’s highest charting track since her 2020 Ariana Grande team-up “Rain on Me” reached No. 1.

J. Cole Shouts Out The Scarborough Shooting Stars Basketball Team at Scotiabank Arena: Toronto Concert Recap

The North Carolina rapper came to Toronto for the first of two dates on his The Fall-Off Tour, where he went bar for bar with diehard fans, remembered his uneventful local basketball career and welcomed a surprise opening performance from Toronto's Casper TNG and 100BandPlan

J. Cole came to Toronto for the first of two dates at Scotiabank Arena on July 27. It's part of his sprawling The Fall-Off Tour, which has been rumoured to be his last major global tour – at least in this current iteration.

There was some anticipation about what Cole might do at this Toronto stop. He was a close witness to rap's highest profile recent rivalry after his song "First Person Shooter" with Drake accidentally prompted Kendrick Lamar to ignite the beef with his "fuck the big three" line. He briefly participated and then publicly bowed out, mostly disengaging from the whole affair save for a few defenses of the Toronto rapper.
