2015 was the year we all refell in love with Lady Gaga. This was the year that she broke away from her label of pop star and became known for more than just her hit songs. What did she do to launch herself to a new level? I would also like to note that she did all of this WITHOUT even releasing a new album!

1. She joined the cast of "American Horror Story" as The Countess and won a Golden Globe for her performance. She’s the only one to win at the Globes since Jessica Lange in season one! I think she'll get some more acting gigs after this role.

2. She performed at the Grammys with her jazz partner and friend Tony Bennett. Not only did she kill the song on the live show, she won her fourth Grammy the same night.

3. She was crowned 2015 Billboard’s Woman of the Year. This is rarely given to someone who didn't release an album during the year!

4. She sang a medley of "Sound of Music" songs at the Oscars and was the most talked about moment of the night. Even Julie Andrews gave her the stamp of approval. This proved that Gaga can actually sing and no one can argue that from here on out.

5. She released her song “Til It Happens to You” for the movie The Hunting Ground. The powerful lyrics and music video tackled a tough subject and everyone was blown away by the realness of the song. We’ll be seeing her at the Oscars again this year; she was just nominated for Best Original Song for her work on this song.

6. She left behind the insanely outlandish outfits in 2014 and stepped into 2015 in some more classy, elegant dresses that wowed the world over.

And there is so much already hinted at to make 2016 her year again!

7. The release of her fifth studio album has been confirmed. "ARTPOP" is officially over (Some of us are screaming "Thank God"...) Bring on LG5!

8. Gaga has been working with Intel on a "groundbreaking" Grammy performance. It’s going to be her return to eccentric acts after her jazz era. We cannot wait!

9. Back in 2013 Gaga tweeted “#GagaInSpace2015”… and it never happened. So maybe #GagaInSpace2016 will come true? Please. We all want her to sing her song "Venus" while floating in space.
