Lady Gaga has had a monumental 2025, and she’s showing no sign of slowing down. Today, Dec. 18, 2025, she appeared on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music radio show to round out the year.
It is Gaga’s second time chatting with Lowe this year, the first being back in March during the “MAYHEM“ release week. She denied rumors about a new tour, but she teased the possibility of new music in the new year.
Watch the interview here, and read some of the highlights below:
On the MAYHEM Ball:
While she denied rumors about continuing the MAYHEM Ball past April 2026, Gaga said she’s had the most amazing time reconnecting with fans every night of the tour.
She noted that while it’s a choreographed show, there’s “a ton of room” for her to tell the story differently every night.
On the possibility of new music:
Gaga confirmed she was in the studio this week and has “been making a lot of music.” “It’s kind of the best making music when you get to see your fans every night, because you’re energetically just right where you need to be,” she said.
When asked about releasing new music next year, Gaga said, “It really depends on how I keep going with writing, but it’s not out of the question.”
The Weeknd came up after he posted a no-context image of Gaga earlier this week, sparking collaboration rumors. Gaga did not confirm or deny the rumors and said, “I love Abel! That’s all I can say.”
On the reception to “MAYHEM”:
Gaga noted how cool it is to see “MAYHEM” connect with audiences. She said that while some of her records have resonated with her fanbase and others have resonated more with the general public, it’s a “special feeling” to make a record that connects with both at the same time.
On the Grammy Awards:
With next year’s 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Gaga nabbed the most nominations at one ceremony in her career, for both “MAYHEM” and “Harlequin.” She said she feels grateful for all the different genres and “pockets” of music she gets to play in because it’s like “jumping into different galaxies, and you can really get lost somewhere else completely.”
On artificial intelligence in music:
When Lowe mentioned his dislike for the increasing development of artificial intelligence in pop music, Gaga echoed his sentiment: “Being a human being I don’t think is going to go out of style anytime soon. I certainly hope it’s not. That’s at the core of, I think, the way we understand each other, the way we communicate.”
