Lady Gaga - Paparazzi (Official Music Video) 

we weren’t ready for this art a decade ago

The intro is longer than my last relationship

For those who don't know, this song isn't just about Paparazzi, but the music industry as a whole. The male producer/manager figure who tricks her into trusting him represents her first manager who SA'd her which resulted in a pregnancy. She had to make the choice to terminate or lose everything she'd worked for. She references this betrayal a lot throughout her career, but this is really the first time she clapped back. It was her big 'fuck you' to him after she broke out and had solidified herself. The transformation she goes through in the video, represents how she built herself back up after the trauma he and the industry as a whole inflicted on her. She fought back, clawed her way to the top & made herself a star. The other girls laying dead around the grounds are his/the industry's other victims and she's getting revenge on her own and their behalf. In the end, she plays him at his own game & kills his career. So many other little hidden messages, as with most of her songs/clips. 'My lashes are dry, purple teardrops I cry - it don't have a price'. Purple teardrops are a reference to drug use and sex with strangers - both common themes of the music scene. So much to unpack in a single song, it often takes me a long time to fully appreciate the little hidden meanings in her work. Some still remains a mystery and I kind of love that lol

Possibly the best pop chorus of all time and I'm not even joking.

I miss this type of pop

It’s funny how everyone is acting like she was some weirdo that nobody liked back then. I’m sorry, but we loved it, that’s why this album was a huge commercial success, and the singles were on the radio all the time. She’s a legend!

everyone needs to stop comparing queens and appreciate the music

2024 and I'm STILL here. 🎉 This ia a NOSTALGIC, TIMELESS, CLASSIC. 😩🤞🏾💞🤞🏾

“I’m your biggest fan I will follow you until you love me” I FELT THAT

I’m glad I’m not the only one who grew up with her songs “Bad romance ,Paparazzi, poker face, just dance “ etc

You all act like this wasn’t a huge hit back in 2009 too lol

July 2024 anyone?

The intro is longer than my longest friendship

2009: hmm okay.... 2019: PAPAAA PAAPAAARAAAAZIIIIIIIII

7 year old me didn’t know what to feel the first time they showed this video

2024 anyone ❤😢

they don't make music like this anymore oml iconic asf

Her music videos were always so iconic 😭😭

the real queen. periodt. periodism. periodical. periodic table.

I watched this video when I was 15 years old. I am now 30 and still love this song. Are there any 90s kids out there watching this in 2024?

It’s not “weird”, it’s artistically ahead of her time.

Lets be honest, this song is still legendary.

2009: those outfits are weird 2021: those outfits are lit

Justice for Lina Morgana❤️‍🩹

When I was a kid I'm afraid of her but now I realized that she is legendary, When I was young mama told me if I was naughty, Lady gaga would eat me

2009: She is weird 2020: She is an ARTIST 👏🏼👏🏼

She was decades ahead of her time, I can't even- THIS IS ART

I worked with a man in his 70s who absolutely loved Lady Gaga because, and I quote, "She's a true artist!" 😊 RIP Greg and love your taste in music ❤

She's so iconic, people are still listening to her 10 years later

lady gaga isn’t just an art. she’s a whole museum.

*On this day, 11 years ago, this masterpiece came out.*

Let’s remember people used to think she’s crazy and look at her now.. greatest artist of all time

The world wasn't ready for her... now she is one of the most iconic celebrities

For this generation who thinks that Billie eilish is crazy, man she's not even NEAR Lady Gaga's level, Lady Gaga's music is just the best art I've ever seen

2024? Anyone?

She was approximately 23 years old when she made this. The woman has always been lightyears ahead of her time!

It took me 11 years to realize she was speaking swedish in the beginning and not french.

Everytime I watch an old Gaga video I just realize that she was so AHEAD of her time. If she released this in 2020 it would blow up

4:28.. I don’t know if anybody else replays this part multiple times. Something about the beat drop, and the energy of it, is amazing. I always found this to be one of her “ahead of time” songs. ❤

This song is basically Joe Goldberg from “You”

10 years later... I realize that the semantic of this video is about LADY DIANA, she was "chased" by this killer photographers til' death, literally. That's the whole concept of this video and probable the lyrics too but romantizaced. Thanks GAGA for this PEACE OF ART

if you think billie eilish is crazy, i hope you remember lady gaga

Can't Believe it has been 15 years 😢

Gaga: falls of balcony **5 seconds later** Also Gaga: dancing in heels

2010: this is porn 2020: this is art

Who is doing a Lady Gaga’s marathon?😌

Alguém ouvindo essa música em 2024. ❤

This song is still huge in 2024

We did it kids. 10 years later we got this masterpiece in 1080p

This music video scared me when I was younger

DAM THAT MANSION IS GORGEOUS

*kids nowadays will never understand the vibe to this song*

The “I just killed my boyfriend” iconic

2009: This is porn 2021: This is art

Who's from 2024?

She wasn't ahead of her time- she SET THE TREND

“I just killed my boyfriend” ugh I love that part

Can’t believe she’s only like 21 on this music video.

Lady gaga saved pop industry queen of music.

2009; tf is dis? 2019; this is legendary.

"We are plastic but we still have fun" The Kardashians felt that Omg I have so many likes I thought this was a stupid ass comment. (No hate I'm so sorry if I ever offended anyone. So sorry) Thanks all! You are the sweetest 💖💖💖💖

this song was honestly so ahead of its time

PAPA-PAPARAZZI

paparazzi is turning 10 years in 5 days, let that sink in

SHE’S AN ICON, SHE’S A LEGEND, AND SHE IS THE MOMENT!!

Literally everyone: listening to Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna and others to celebrate this decade so much

Paparazzi is so underrated

Her career is so futuristic, she did look like she had traveled time already

If this doesn't play at my funeral I'm not dying

PewDiePie must be proud knowing Gaga can speak excellent Swedish

Anyone in 2024?🎉😂❤

Those tiktok 9 year olds don’t know the real origin of this iconic song.

2009: hm i think its ok just a normal song 2020: nostalgia PAPAPARAZZI

This reminds me when Corona was just a beer.

JUST DANCE 2024 EDITION SEASON 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIGHTS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

i wish i looked that good when I'm falling....

"im your biggest fan Ill follow you until you love me" Stalkers: Damn i felt that

kinda one of her best songs and its so underrated

"Baby theres no other superstar you know that..." Lina morgana could be if not her death, am i right?

The illuminati doesn't make bangers like this anymore

Fun fact : lady gaga is allergic to cherry pie and she says loving you is cherry pie!

Nobody: Gaga: "We are plastic but we still have fun" Kardashians: Yes

I was 10 years old when this song came out, crazy how time really flies. 😢

"Do you trust me?" "Of course" *proceeds to throw off from the balcony*

She was SO ahead of her time

Holy shit. Why is every song from 2009 so fucking good?

June 2024!!! We love Gaga

When I was like 7 or 8 I saw about 30 seconds of the intro on tv and thought it was a documentary about a true story, and she actually got pushed off a balcony...

*2009: "Wow, this song is amazing!"* *2021: "Wow, this song is amazing!"* *9050: "Wow, this song is amazing!"*

I don't know what I miss more, These songs, or just being a kid again.

Classic. 📸

The date makes me feel old and I'm young, what is this.

was i the only one who didnt find this weird as a kid? id literally play paparazzi, bad romance, and poker face in the car when i was on my way to school😭 i really love those days😭✨

This song hit differently. God I miss being a kid and having no worries in the world it's good to look back.

I’m surprised this doesn’t have over a billion views. So nostalgic.

Gaga: *kills boyfriend* People:" WE LOVE YOU"

My best friend and I used to listen to this back in primary school when we both had 8yo. We were so scared that other people would see us watching the intro part lmaooo. Those were the days.

she learned to walk again...what an iconic inspiring queen

I loved lady Gaga. The way she acted they nailed it

The fact that Gaga’s allergic to cherries and she sings about how she loves this like a cherry pie…💀😅
