Lady Gaga recently showcased a striking new look on Instagram, trading her iconic platinum blonde waves for a sleek, jet-black hairstyle. Last week, the Grammy winner and style icon, 38, further demonstrated her versatility by debuting a coppery ginger hue, styled in Hollywood-inspired curls reminiscent of the 70s country era, in the music video for “Die With A Smile.”
This string-laden ballad, a nostalgic nod to pop hits of the time, marks her latest musical collaboration with Bruno Mars. In the new visual for the track, Gaga and Mars, also 38, donned matching vintage Western ensembles in blue and red, with the “Born This Way” hitmaker seated at the piano and the “Treasure” singer strumming the guitar.

“Die With A Smile” is significant as it represents the first instance in over two years that either artist has unveiled new music. In a new press release, Gaga said of her collaboration with Mars: “Bruno and I have a lot of mutual respect for each other and were talking about collaborating. I was finishing up my own album in Malibu, and one night after a long day he asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on.”
The House of Gucci alum went on: “It was around midnight when I got there, and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making. We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song. Bruno’s talent is beyond explanation.”
As for the “Grenade” artist, he also had nothing but praise for Gaga, saying: “Getting to work with Gaga has been an honor. She’s an icon and she makes this song magical. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it.”
