It’s been a busy week for Lady Gaga. First she rush-released her new single ‘Applause’, then she posted a rather subversive advert for it, now she’s revealed this bizarre lyric video of sorts.
More akin to a normal video than your general lyric one, the clip was shot in 48 hours at West Hollywood gay club Micky’s and features many drag queens featured in reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race.
‘Applause’ is out now in advance of Gaga’s upcoming LP ARTPOP, dropping on 11 November.
