Lady Gaga?

Today I think I'll write about the weirdest celebrity out there. While that's kind of an objective thing to say I think most people will agree with me on that. Wearing raw meat as clothing is not very normal, and yet people love Gaga and worship her as the best thing to ever happen to popular culture.

Well she did kind of change the whole scene with her very edgy music and absolutely crazy fashion statements. I don't know where she's from, and I don't think it matters in this case like it did with Taylor Swift. My best guess is she's from another planet. Actually she's from New York City and was a pretty talented young musician. She ended up writing songs with edgy lyrics and catchy dance beats, and was picked up by record companies.

She got off to a very fast start and was one of the most popular people in the world at the peak of her popularity (So far). She gained more and more attention for her strange dresses she wore to events, and her strong support for the gay community. I would say that she is one of the reasons gays have become more and more accepted in society.

But why do we love her? She represents what a lot of people wish they could be. Her "weird" side is most of her public personality. She supports the other "weird" people out there (weird of course being society's definition of the word), and therefore gained a lot of fans that would normally not care about a pop singer. Her music is also very edgy in a sexy way which helped the cause.

So in a strange world that we're in right now, we have strange pop stars. Kanye, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga can all share the spotlight while being so diverse. They each have their perks that people feel they can identify with, and that makes up American Music and how Americans Identify with it.
