Lady Gaga has performed her new song “Happy Mistake” live for the first time! The Oscar and Grammy-winning music superstar wrote the new song for her movie Joker: Folie a Deux and its featured on her companion album Harlequin. Gaga delivered the first performance of the song while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday (October 1) in Hollywood. Gaga has opened up about the meaning behind the lyrics. “I am wrestling, on that record, with a lot of feelings about so much that I’ve been through as an artist, everything I went through growing up in the public eye, and the industry since I was a teenager,” she told Apple Music. “One of the lyrics is, ‘I’m acting in this play of comedy with tragic words. The audience was smiling, cheering on a scene, absurd.’ I was thinking about when women play these broken characters in music or in films or theater, the audience loves it and they just cheer us on–they cheer on the image of the pain. It’s super confusing when the audience is going crazy and the artist is messed up. So that song is in a lot of ways about that.” Find out what Gaga revealed during her interview on Kimmel!
