Lady Gaga's Outrageous Career in 20 Songs

Lady Gaga is a bona fide movie star now, but nobody will ever forget that she's a pop music queen. Even as we continue to luxuriate in the many pleasures of A Star Is Born's soundtrack, her current Las Vegas residency delves deep into her back catalog-it's a huge pleasure to remember where she's been. She may no longer rely on meat dresses or glitter vomit, but she is not afraid to go left when her peers turn right.

That's because Lady Gaga is most interesting when she experiments. This applies not only to her appearance (before awards season, which was all old glamour and attention-grabbing Hollywood gowns, there was the minimal Joanne era-all short shorts, crop tops, and combat boots), but also to the music itself. Every album brings a new era for the woman born Stefani Germanotta. Here, we look at the 20 songs that have helped define Lady Gaga's eclectic career.
