Happy Anniversary Born This Way! 

David Letterman and first-time Late Show guest Lady Gaga, who’s out in full promo forcebehind just-released album Born This Way, basically spent a full 15 minutes ribbing each other on air last night. “You and I are very different,” Dave said to the “Heavy Metal Lover”singer at one point. “I have never thought to myself, I’m just going to wear my underpants.” Gaga quipped back, “Why not? I’m sure you’d look nice if you just took your pants off.” Wow. Excuse us while we go take an ice-cold shower. Watch the playful one-on-one below.

“I’m a religious and spiritual person who’s obsessed with religious art… I’m obsessed with it,” said Lady Gaga in a recent interview with E! News. She was speaking of her “Judas” video, but she could be talking about her entire album, Born This Way (out today!). In almost every track on the powerful entertainer’s new album, the pop star either hints to or overtly states her messages of love, faith and devotion through religious imagery and metaphors. Hey, what do you expect from someone who spent 13 years in Catholic school? Jump below as we go track-by-track to dig out all of Gaga’s religious (as well as political) references on Born This Way.

Artists have merged religion and pop music before — Madonna’s crucifix-donning get-up and the entirity of her “Like A Prayer” video is probably the most obvious example that comes to mind — but we can’t think of an artist who released an entire collection of music with so many references and allusions to their faith without creating a Christian pop album.

In fact, did Gaga release a Christian album? She preaches the power of prayer, devotion to a higher being and lack of judgment throughout these 17 tracks. And that alone is kind of extraordinary when most pop albums today (includingGaga’s debut The Fame) appear to be mostly concerned with going out to clubs.

After rehearsing in her skivvies on the beach in Cannes, Lady Gaga slipped into something a little less comfortable for her performance on France’s Le Grand Journal. The “Hair” singer thrilled her Petits Monstres with a dancerific rendition of “Judas”, all while looking like Cruella De Vil dressed as a matador for Halloween. Jump below to catch the Born This Way artist’s beachside show — and So You Think You Can Dance fans, see if you recognize one of Gaga’s backup dancers.

Paws up, pequeños monstruos! Lady Gaga decided to finally unveil the Spanish-leaning jam “Americano” — a track from her forthcoming LP Born This Way — while performing last night at the Estadio Tres de Marzo in Guadalajara, Mexico. Watch Gaga’s stripped-down rendition of the brand new song below.

Fan site Gaga Daily quotes MTV O Award winner Gaga describing the song as “a big mariachi techno-house record, where I am singing about immigration law and gay marriage and all sorts of things that have to do with disenfranchised communities in America. It sounds like a pop record, but when I sing it, I see Edith Piaf in a spotlight with an old microphone.”
