Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American recording artist. She began performing in the rock music scene of New York City's Lower East Side in 2003 and enrolled at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. She soon signed with Streamline Records, an imprint of Interscope Records. During her early time at Interscope, she worked as a songwriter for fellow label artists and captured the attention of Akon, who recognized her vocal abilities, and signed her to his own label, Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga gave her fans a royal thank you on Saturday after being crowned the Queen of Twitter with more than 5.7 million followers -- finally surpassing the reigning tweet queen Britney Spears.
Lady Gaga gave her fans a royal thank you on Saturday after being crowned the Queen of Twitter with more than 5.7 million followers -- finally surpassing the reigning tweet queen Britney Spears.
In a homemade video filmed backstage during her Monster Ball tour in Tacoma, Wash., Gaga transported her fans to a lo-fi “Wizard of Oz”-esque fantasy world in which she channeled Glinda the Good Witch of the North.
Clad in a white lace crown emblazoned with the Twitter logo and holding a fluorescent blue wand, she spoke to the strum of xylophone music.
"Hello world, this is Lady Gaga, Queen of Twitter," the “Alejandro” singer told her fans. "I would like to thank all my beautiful little monsters for following me."
Resorting to some quick and dirty special effects, a bird on a string suddenly floated into the shot (riffing off the social networking site's popular logo) only to be sent off by Gaga with a kiss.
"May you always have soft cuticles while tweeting, may you never have carpal tunnel," she told her followers.
The 24-year-old singer concluded by promising to "tweet and tweet again" before waving her wand and leaving behind a swath of sparkles.
