Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known for her stage name, Lady Gaga has repeatedly slapped our faces with her outrageous outfits, awkward music videos, and catchy music. Her influence on the media has led her to be nominated as the 4th most influential woman by Forbes Magazine.

As I struggled to think of “What role does media play in our society?” I immediately thought of Lady Gaga and started to find out how she influences her followers. I came across Lady Gaga\’s Attempt to Repeal DADT. I was not surprised to find Lady Gaga in support of anti-discrimination reforms/laws but then i came across Gaga followers who don\’t know anything about DADT. They were simply under the influence of Lady Gaga’s view and hardly knew anything but they were able to get the support of their senator as seen here. The effect that Lady Gaga has on society with a simple video is simply “speechless”.

In comparison to the article we read in the beginning of the semester, Bieber for President(?), I’m thinking, Gaga for President for this research paper. With her blunt views, fashion sense, and relatable music, Lady Gaga has used the media as a tool to influence her fans and alter society’s monotonous view on topics such as politics and fashion by acting as a role model.
