Lady Gaga Stuns Fans With Surprise Song at ‘Wednesday’ Gala
It was a night that felt pulled straight out of a Tim Burton film, with fog drifting over gravestones and lanterns flickering in the dark. Netflix and Spotify teamed up to host the Wednesday Season 2 Graveyard Gala in New York City, and what started as a spooky celebration quickly turned into one of the most talked-about pop culture moments of the year.
The event welcomed 300 lucky fans, influencers, and members of the press into a fully immersive Wednesday -themed world. Guests wandered through mossy trees and spider-webbed fences, sipped on eerie cocktails, and even had their auras read to find out which character from the show matched their energy. Jenna Ortega, who not only stars as Wednesday Addams but also serves as a producer on the series, joined castmates Emma Myers and Joy Sunday to soak in the atmosphere.

But the true surprise came when Lady Gaga herself appeared at the gala. Dressed perfectly for the gothic occasion, she stepped out to announce her brand-new single, The Dead Dance , which will be released on September 3. Fans were ushered into custom-built coffins for an exclusive first listen to a snippet of the track, turning the reveal into a theatrical experience worthy of the Wednesday universe.
The song will officially debut in Season 2, Part 2 of Wednesday , where Gaga also makes her acting debut in the series as Rosaline Rotwood, a mysterious Nevermore Academy teacher. According to Ortega, Gaga’s transformation was so natural it seemed as though she had always belonged in the world of Nevermore. Director Tim Burton echoed that sentiment, calling Gaga a “real artist” and praising both her music and acting talents.
Gaga explained that The Dead Dance was inspired by the emotional weight of a breakup, describing it as a song about how the end of love can make people feel lifeless—but also how music and friends can bring them back to life. She teased that beneath the dark lyrics lies a funky beat, making it a track designed not just for heartbreak but for dancing through it.
Her involvement in the show was sparked by the viral success of her song Bloody Mary during Season 1, when it unexpectedly became the unofficial soundtrack for Wednesday Addams’ TikTok-famous dance. Co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar revealed that Gaga had become a genuine fan of the series, making her addition to the cast and soundtrack feel like a perfect fit.
As the night wrapped up, a Spotify-curated DJ set kept the crowd moving, proving that even in a graveyard, the dead could keep dancing. For fans of both Wednesday and Gaga, this collaboration promises to be one of the highlights of the season.
