The 2025 Grammys became an electrifying spectacle as Lady Gaga took center stage with the highly anticipated debut of Abracadabra, the lead single from her forthcoming album MAYHEM, set for release on March 7, 2025. Fans were abuzz with rumors leading up to the event, and Gaga exceeded expectations, unveiling both the track and its visually striking, fashion-forward music video during the telecast.

A Return to Dance-Powered Glory

Abracadabra marks a thrilling return to Gaga’s dance-pop roots, evoking the pulsating energy of her 2020 album Chromatica. The song’s infectious hook is driven by deep, grinding synths, with Gaga passionately declaring, “Abracadabra, abracadabra! Feel the beat under your feet, the floor’s on fire.” As the track builds, a vibrant house piano riff takes over, leading into an anthemic, soaring chorus: “Abracadabra, abra-ooh-na-na. In her tongue, she said, ‘Death or love tonight!’”

Visually, Gaga captivated audiences with her avant-garde styling, donning archival Givenchy by Alexander McQueen, while leading a troupe of impeccably synchronized dancers. The performance paid homage to her signature theatricality, reinforcing her position as a pop and fashion icon.

A Monumental Night for Gaga and Bruno Mars

The night grew even more monumental when Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars took home the Best Pop Duo Grammy for their smash hit Die With a Smile. The song recently topped the charts, making Gaga the third artist in history to achieve multiple #1s in three distinct decades—a testament to her enduring influence and artistic evolution.

As part of their Grammy performance, Gaga and Mars delivered a heartfelt tribute to the victims of California’s recent wildfires, performing a soulful rendition of California Dreamin’ by The Mamas and The Papas. Their emotional performance resonated deeply with audiences, cementing the moment as one of the night’s most moving tributes.

Countdown to MAYHEM

With the release of MAYHEM just weeks away, the unveiling of Abracadabra has ignited excitement among Little Monsters and music lovers alike. If the Grammys performance is any indication, Lady Gaga’s next era promises a bold, high-energy return to the dance floor.
