After tasting success with her earlier ventures, Gaga returned with her second official music album in 2011, titled ‘Born This Way’. The same year she also staged a concert titled ‘Monster Ball’, which was held at Madison Square Garden, New York City. The singer had earned approximately $220 million through the tour.
In 2012, Gaga travelled to South Korea for another musical tour titled ‘Born This Way Ball’. Eventually 110 shows were staged under this name and helped Gaga reached the peak of her career.
Even while she was busy with the ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour, this singer released her third album titled ‘Artpop’ in 2013 and sold approximately 2,60,000 copies at the time of its release. The album became really popular for its singles such as ‘Do What U Want’ and ‘Applause’.
The singer tried experimenting with jazz after her third album and even collaborated with the American singer Tony Bennett for the same. The result was the 2014 album titled ‘Cheek to Cheek’.
If sources are to be believed, the celebrity singer would be releasing her next album in 2015.
