Lady Gaga (born 1986) is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to prominence in 2008 with her debut album The Fame along with its singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". Her EP The Fame Monster followed the next year, and featured "Bad Romance", "Telephone", and "Alejandro". She continued to have success with her second album Born This Way (2011), with its title track becoming the fastest selling song on iTunes at the time of its release. With this as well as Artpop (2013), Cheek to Cheek (2014), and Joanne (2016), Gaga became the first female to have four albums top the US Billboard 200 during the 2010s. In television, she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her work in American Horror Story: Hotel (2015–2016). Gaga is also known for her social activism and created the Born This Way Foundation to empower youth. Part of the Overview of Lady Gaga series, one of Wikipedia's featured topics.

 * Didn't realize that :/, but am not sure if this is more of you objecting to the proposed date or feeling I just submitted the request too soon. Snuggums (talk / edits) 00:53, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: Just saw Today's featured article/March 28, 2018 is already taken. Damn it. How about April 8th, the 10th anniversary of when she released "Just Dance"? Snuggums (<b style="color:#009900">talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 01:00, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I did say that people should have their noms in place this weekend, so I guess we could boot the TV program and do it on the 28th., would I just replace it and manually change the recently featured?--Wehwalt (talk) 01:18, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The bots get fubar from time to time, so it's not guaranteed, but that usually works. - Dank (push to talk) 02:49, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
