2017 will be the year of Lady Gaga. She is ending this year in the middle of the spotlight-a spotlight that will only shine brighter for her in the new year.

After taking a break from music to appear on American Horror Story:Hotel, Lady Gaga is back in the music-game, gaining newer popularity since the release of her 5th studio album Joanne on October 21st.Named after her late-aunt (and her middle name), the chart-climbing album, featuring hit singles like "Million Reasons" and "Perfect Illusion," is an album of varied genres, crossing between country, pop, dance, rock, and electronic music. Joanne is an emotional album, taking the stories of pain from Gaga's life into songs she hopes will touch people in their own lives. Joanne is about Lady Gaga leaving her mark on the world.

For promotion for her new album, Lady Gaga went on a mini dive bar tour. She performed in Nashville, New York City, and Los Angeles, but many other people were able to watch as her performances were live-streamed on Facebook. And as everybody knows, when an artist releases a new album, they usually go on tour around the world! (Fingers crossed!). 2017 looks like the year the world could get a new Lady Gaga tour. She has not been on a solo tour since 2014 for her Artpop album.

Besides her possible-tour, there is the promise of a Lady Gaga Superbowl performance. She had been confirmed a few months back as the 2017 Superbowl halftime performer!

2017 is shaping up to look like a very Gaga-filled year. With a new album, a Superbowl appearance, and hopefully a tour, some new music videos, and an appearance on the next season of American Horror Story again, 2017 could be a successful year for Lady Gaga.
