I’ve spent my life as the designated caretaker, the one who shows up when the rain starts to pour. While some see it as selfless, I’m being honest: I like being depended on. It’s the one thing I can truly offer. But caretaking comes with an unspoken wish—that when I inevitably stumble or have an episode of my own, I receive the same compassion I give. Here is why I choose my friends as family and why I’ll always be there.

Her new single is a 1-minute-and-55-second hyperpop-rock glitch that’s tailor-made for going viral. It’s loud, it's distorted, and it’ll have you screaming "Roooooooooock Music" on repeat. Is this her most chaotic era yet?

Beyond her scene-stealing cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2, Gaga anchored the film’s soundtrack with three brand-new tracks: "Runway," "Glamorous Life," and "Shape of a Woman."

From the underground "Lizzy Grant" days of 2009 to the mainstream explosion of Born to Die, my journey with Lana Del Rey has been a long-running love affair with melancholy.
