Whether it’s from their beds or from beyond the grave itself, Little Monsters everywhere are rising up after Lady Gaga announced the release date for her new single, “The Dead Dance.”
On Thursday night (Aug. 28), Gaga attended Netflix and Spotify’s “Graveyard Gala” in New York City, as part of the promotional Doom Tour for the hit series Wednesday season two. Joining her castmates Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers and Joy Sunday on stage at the event, Gaga announced that her long-rumored new song will be released alongside the second part of the show’s second season on Sept. 3.
“It’s a part of the show, and I’m so excited for you to see it,” Gaga told the cheering crowd of fans, before informing them that they would get an exclusive first listen of the song in a series of coffin-themed listening booths at the event. “I hope you’re really comfortable in your caskets,” she added.
At the event, the “Bad Romance” singer also talked about her experience filming the show, thanking the cast and crew for making her “small part” feel special. “I had a wonderful time working on Wednesday season two,” she said. “I loved working with Tim Burton and Jenna and everyone here is so incredible.”
A new trailer for the second part of Wednesday season two appeared to tease Gaga’s appearance on the show. While Mother Monster did not appear on screen during the 2-minute teaser, a voice heard at the very end of the trailer that sounded very much like the performer tells Ortega’s titular heroine: “Beware — there will be a price to pay.”
The news comes amid Gaga’s headline-making Mayhem Ball continues its run of dates in New York. After four sold-out performances at Madison Square Garden over the last week, Gaga will return for her final two shows at the iconic venue on Sept. 6 and 7.
