- This week, Lady Gaga announced she had created a companion album to her new movie Joker: Folie et Deux
- In true Gaga fashion, the album hasn’t been without its dramatic stunts – and the Louvre even got involved
- Joker: Folie et Deux will hit theaters on October 4
She’s one of the biggest stars on the planet.
And now Lady Gaga is back with a new album – with a twist.
Not content with her seventh studio record being released next month, the Poker Face singer, 38, Gaga has created a companion album for her new movie, Joker: Folie et Deux.
The tracks will be released on September 27, a week before the DC Studios sequel – which stars Joaquin Phoenx as The Joker – hits theaters.
And while Gaga teased the announcement before eventually confirming the news to her 57.2 million Instagram followers, she had one more surprise up her sleeve.
In a collaboration with the Louvre in Paris, Gaga shared a short clip inside the famous art museum.
As her character Harleen ‘Lee’ Quinzel – aka Harley Quinn – the A Star is Born Oscar winner can be seen walking the halls of the gallery, eventually stopping in front of the Mona Lisa.
Gaga then takes out a red lipstick and paints a smile onto the glass in front of the Leonardo da Vinci painting, to match that of The Joker.
Fans went wild for the clip on TikTok, and it garnered 283.2k likes and 1.5 million likes in 24 hours.
Album ‘6.5’ for Gaga
In the movie, which is released on October 4, Quinzel and Joker fall in love at Arkham State Hospital, sharing life together as a musical through their shared insanity.
Joker’s followers will also begin a movement to liberate him after he was arrested for the murders he committed in the first film, which won Phoenix an Oscar for his efforts in 2020.
The songs will help make up the 13-track musical accompaniment to Folie et Deux, which also appeared on billboards that read ‘6.5’ – presumably meaning that Gaga doesn’t view the record as a true studio album.
