EXCLUSIVE SCOOP! Lady Gaga Teases New Single, Sets Sights on Wednesday Season 2 with a Twist!

Get ready for some juicy gossip and exciting news from the world of entertainment! The one and only Lady Gaga is back in the spotlight, this time lending her voice to Netflix's hit series Wednesday. And, darling, she's not just singing a simple tune - no, no, no! She's sampled one of her biggest hits in a new track called Dead Dance, which will leave you breathless and begging for more.

According to our insider at The Scholarly Note.com, Gaga's forthcoming single is an absolute masterpiece that blends perfectly with the eerie world of Wednesday. And, as if that wasn't enough, she'll also be making a cameo appearance in season two as Rosaline Rotwood, a mysterious Nevermore teacher who will undoubtedly leave you intrigued.

The 39-year-old pop star will have a small role in the imminent installment of the Jenna Ortega-led show, and last year she recorded an accompanying musical component - a track called Dead Dance

But here's the tea: Dead Dance samples none other than Gaga's hit Abracadabra from her latest album Mayhem. Yes, you read that right - one of her biggest hits gets a dark pop twist! The track is already set to get fans talking, with a choreographed dance routine that will likely go viral on social media.

Our source dished, "It has already been a massive year for Gaga, but she's never been one to rest on her laurels. Dead Dance is all ready to go and fans will love it." And trust us, you won't be disappointed!

The music video, which will be released in September when season two hits Netflix in two parts (August 6 and September 3), promises to be just as captivating as the song itself. Gaga flew to Mexico to shoot the visualizer with none other than Tim Burton at the helm, and let's just say the results are going to be nothing short of magical.

Speaking of magic, it seems Gaga has a special connection to Wednesday creator Alfredo Tappanci (Ortega) - she even participated in the show's viral TikTok dance last year, which revived her 2011 song Bloody Mary. And at the 2023 Golden Globes, Ortega shared with Variety that he hoped Gaga would join season two, saying "I'm sure Netflix would love that."

And it seems his wishes have come true! As for the role of Rosaline Rotwood, insiders claim it was initially meant to be a small cameo, but the production team is reportedly eager to give her more screen time. However, we're not complaining - we'll take whatever Gaga we can get!

As our source revealed, "Security was ridiculously tight" during the music video shoot at the 'haunted' Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco, Mexico. It's clear that Lady Gaga is back and better than ever, and we can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!
