Join us as we discuss and dissect the (self-directed!) music video for Lady Gaga's energizing and cathartic final single from Born This Way: “Marry The Night”!

On this episode of Chewing on Pearls, we discuss all things Apple Music Live: MAYHEM Requiem, Lady Gaga’s live music experience that reimagines all of the songs from her acclaimed 2025 album MAYHEM with fresh production that recalls the sounds and engages the instruments that inspired it. Taped in Los Angeles in January 2026, the project highlights Gaga’s innate musicianship, the malleability of her songwriting, and her ability to reshape the spectacle she’s known for into a performance brimming with sonic force.
