Summary/Abstract: The text is an attempt to reveal the tricks used by the artist to gain popularity. Using the theory of the performative turn in art as a reference, Lady Gaga is defined as a performer who orients her message to a viewer, not a listener. Embedding her analysis within a social context, the author moves towards a diagnosis of the changes taking place in pop culture and lays out in part a concept for a “a new popular culture”, in which achieving a certain impression in the audience requires a more complex set on actions on the part of the artist than in the past decade.
