Lady Gaga New Single 'Applause' Released Early! 'Fame' Diva Takes Promotional Stunt To A New Level
Lady Gaga decides to take her ARTPOP on the road – literally. After releasing her newest single, “Applause,” the diva decided to take promotional stunt to a new level by covering her face with the album’s cover art.
You heard it right! Just days after releasing her nude video for Abramovic’s Kickstarter art project, Mama Monster wandered around Los Angeles wearing the same face paint found on its cover art for the single “Applause.”
Is this Gaga’s way to battle the recent bad publicity of her new single? Just hours before releasing “Applause,” the “Born This Way” diva turned to Twitter immediately after hearing news about the online leaks about her new single.

The Mama Monster even asked the help from her “little monsters” to spread the word and fight piracy.

Minutes after her rant tweets, the 27-year-old singer officially said that her new single is out.

On the same day after the official release, the diva even gave Ryan Seacrest the same look after stopping by on his radio show to promote her new single. Ryan Seacrest tweet a photo of the makeover with the captions:
