Graveyard Gala in New York City with Lady Gaga
On Thursday, August 28th, the singer performed at the Spotify and Netflix event “Wednesday Graveyard Gala” in New York City. She confirmed in front of her fans: “I had a wonderful time working on the second season of ‘Wednesday’. I loved working with Tim Burton and Jenna Ortega and everyone here, it is incredible. I am happy to be able to tell you that my song ‘The Dead Dance’ is coming.”
First reactions and collaboration with Jenna Ortega
Lady Gaga’s participation in the second season had already become known in November last year. Fans had previously replaced Ortega’s viral dance from the series to Gaga’s song “Bloody Mary”, a trend in which Gaga himself took part. Ortega praised the collaboration with Gaga at the South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW) in spring: “It is the best. She is the best, definitely one of the most talented people I’ve ever worked with.”
Further occupation
In addition to Gaga, Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton and Noah Taylor are included, while guest appearances by Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton and Haley Joel Osment are planned. At the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy, Tim Burton also confirmed that he and Gaga had worked on another project while filming. Media such as “Variety” or “Express Tribune” speculate that a music video was shot on the Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco.
Season start and tour
The first four episodes of the new season appeared on August 6th, while the second half and Gaga’s song will be released on September 3. Gaga itself is currently traveling with her “Mayhem Ball” tour, which started in Las Vegas in July and comprises stations in Miami, New York, Toronto and Chicago before the international tour begins.
