Gaga shared the news via Instagram by revealing the cover, which features her standing under a showerhead with an inflated life vest around her neck.
She also shared a second photo of album artwork that showed a crumpled milk carton with the track list discreetly printed on it.
Several fans and celebrities left comments on the post reacting to the exciting news.

“Ayeee it’s gonna be a lit bday weekend!” one person commented.
“Harle Queen,” another fan commented.
“Mother is mothering,” one fan wrote, adding, “AAAAAAAAAA!”
Most recently, she dropped a collab with Bruno Mars titled “Die With a Smile,” and revealed that her next studio album will drop in Feb. 2025.
Plus, the first single from the currently untitled album is expected to drop in October.
As for Joker 2, Gaga is playing Harley Quinn in the Todd Phillips-directed musical sequel to 2019’s Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix.
“Harley Quinn is a character people know from the ether of pop culture,” she told Vogue earlier this month.
“I had a different experience creating her, namely my experience with mania and chaos inside — for me, it creates a quietness. Sometimes women are labeled as these overly emotional creatures and when we are overwhelmed we are erratic or unhinged,” she continued.
“But I wonder if when things become so broken from reality, when we get pushed too far in life, what if it makes you…quiet?” she said.
