History Awesome / LadyGaga

* Gaga has always been an advocate for gay rights. Her CMOA in this regard came when she made a deal with Target -- who had come under fire for donating money to a "family values" politician -- to give them an exclusive edition of "Born This Way" if they donated to a LGBT cause. And then when they continued to give money to anti-gay causes she walked away from the deal.

* Her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZd58dghTh0 performance]] of "Hold My Hand", the LoveTheme from ''Film/TopGunMaverick'', at the 2023 Oscars. In its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2CIAKVTOrc original context]], the song is a gorgeous, '80s-esque power ballad that fits the film and OfficialCouple Maverick and Penny's love story perfectly. But here? Here it's just Gaga, her instruments, and pure emotion with incredible vocals. No overwrought orchestration, no bombast -- just her, her voice, and a love song for the ages.

* She topped the above National Anthem performance by singing it again at the inauguration of UsefulNotes/JoeBiden as President.

** The ending would also serve as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}

* Similarly, Gaga may be the only woman on earth who could get away with doing a gleeful modern-day cover of "The Lady is a Tramp" with Creator/TonyBennett.

-->'''Gaga:''' ''Arrest me, Moscow!'' My name is Lady Gaga, I'm 26 years old, I'm from Manhattan, New York. And I believe that men and women deserve to love each other equally! Cuff me, Russia! Arrest me! ''I don't give a fuck!''

* One for her ''mother'' who allowed her, when she was only a teenager, to perform in bars. If not for that, Gaga may have not ever existed.

* When Music/WeirdAlYankovic wanted to do a parody of Born This Way, her management didn't allow it. Weird Al posted it online anyway, which is where Gaga heard it for the first time. She loved it so much that she proceeded to green light the song.

* As of ''[[ComicBook/GrantMorrisonsBatman Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strike's!]]'', Lady Gaga is now officially a Franchise/{{Batman}} villain. And she got away with it.

* More of a Crowning Moment for her fans (and for human beings in general), but after Fred Phelps called for a boycott of her [=CDs=], album sales ''skyrocketed''.
* Australian comedian Adam Hills talked about Lady Gaga as they were both invited to perform for the Queen, along with many other artists. Many of the singers had made arrangements to lipsync to prerecorded tracks. Hills said Lady Gaga got to the theatre, looked at the size of the hall, looked at the full orchestra, the ''sat down with a pen, re-arranged the whole track'' and said '''"[[Series/TheOReillyFactor Fuck it, we'll do it live]]."''' And she did. And it was '''awesome'''.

* Her 7 minute tribute to Music/DavidBowie (with NileRodgers on guitar!) at the 2016 Grammies. Complete with morphing Bowie make-up projected on her face, back-flipping dancers, and a [[CrazyAwesome ROBOT PIANO]]. She was the perfect person for the job and, like with Creator/JulieAndrews, she didn't miss a beat while honoring a true legend.

* Performing at the UsefulNotes/SuperBowl? Awesome. Sang the National Anthem one year and became the halftime act the next? Double awesome. Performing on the ''stadium roof'' and rappelling down onto the stage? CrazyAwesome.[[note]]It should be noted that she didn't jump off the roof live as seen in the broadcast, the jump was [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/lady-gaga-roof-jump-super-bowl_us_5898a3c3e4b09bd304bc7012 pre-recorded]] and the roof was closed during the actual Halftime Show. She still rappelled down onto the stage though.

** Some of the reactions counted as SugarWiki/FunnyMoments, too.

* "Til It Happens to You," a ''furious'' condemnation of people who try to downplay the effects of sexual assault without ever having experienced it themselves. [[note]] sadly, Gaga ''has'' [[/note]] Written for the documentary ''The Hunting Ground'', it was then nominated for an Oscar, with every bit of emotion pouring from Gaga's face throughout her performance at the awards, and eventually surrounded by numerous other actual rape survivors standing in solidarity.

* Her and Creator/BradleyCooper performing "[[Film/AStarIsBorn2019 Shallow]]" at [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardsCeremonies the Oscars]] in 2019. No costume change, no prep backstage. A piano got brought out and they just got up from their seats and killed it. Two standing ovations later, she was taking home a no-doubt [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscar]].
