Lady Gaga’s ‘Harlequin Live: One Night Only’ Special Will Be Available to Stream Very Soon

Trending on Billboard That’s entertainment! This Christmas Eve, Lady Gaga is presenting Harlequin Live: One Night Only , a film capturing Gaga’s entire performance of her Harlequin album - shot in September 2024 at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles - on her YouTube channel . Harlequin - which marked Gaga’s third No. 1 on Billboard ‘s Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts - is the companion album to Joker: Folie à Deux , the 2024 sequel to the Oscar-winning Joker (2019) that stars Gaga as the titular character’s partner Harley “Lee” Quinzel. And in the week leading up to the film’s theatrical debut, Mother Monster surprise released the album of jazz standards. Harlequin - which features classics such as “Get Happy” and “That’s Life” - includes two original songs, “Folie à Deux” and “Happy Mistake.” Back when the album first came out, Gaga clarified what Harlequin actually was. “It is my record. It’s a Lady Gaga record, but it’s also inspired by my character and my vision of what a woman can be,” she told Rolling Stone at the time. “It’s why the album does not adhere to one genre ... it’s not my next studio album that’s a pop record, but it is somewhere in between, and it’s blurring the lines of pop music.” In addition to her six Grammy nominations for her 2025 album Mayhem , Harlequin is also up for best traditional pop vocal album at the 68th annual awards ceremony. Lady Gaga in Harlequin Live: One Night Only streams on YouTube Dec. 24 at 7 p.m. ET. See her announcement below:
