With filming underway on American Horror Story: Hotel, Lady Gaga is proving she has found her people. Not only is series creator Ryan Murphy gushing over Gaga's performance as a wealthy doyenne with an unwavering passion for fashion, art, and people, but her castmates are already in awe of her as well. Now Murphy has taken to Twitter to reveal Lady Gaga hosted a bloody pool party for the AHS: Hotel cast. Forget "Born This Way," Gaga was born to be on American Horror Story.
The pop queen is not afraid to push boundaries with her music or her fashion choices in ways that have often unsettled those who don't consider themselves "Little Monsters." Add in Gaga's respect for all things retro and her ability to produce stunning, nightmarish videos, and it would seem the singer-turned-actress has always been prepping for her future in horror.
Thanks to her theatrical flair, Gaga has the ability to disappear into any character she creates. She has proven this time and time again with her amazingly expressive fashion choices and grand entrances.
Now she is the Countess, owner of the dark hotel at the corner of AHS: Hotel, and it looks like Gaga and AHS are the new peanut butter and chocolate. That was no dream. According to Ryan Murphy, Gaga went full on macabre for the cast by dying the water in her pool red and taking a midnight swim with the rest of the cast.
Anyone who has ever seen any of AHS will know that is exactly the kind of creepy/quirky thing the characters on the show would find entertaining. Gaga's wardrobe is both unsettling and entrancing... just like an episode ofAHS. Part of you wants to look away, but the other part is admiring the sheer audacity and awesomeness happening in front of you. Is it a little scary? Sure, but it's the kind of scary that's balanced with art and humor. Gaga is known as "Mother Monster" to her fans, the "Little Monsters." She is all about embracing the weird, the outsiders, and those who are perceived as deviant in mainstream culture.
AHS has a similar philosophy. Each season has tackled a more and more isolated or ostracized group of people. The horror is often not in the characters, but in the way others treat them. Mother Monster will be right at home in a hotel full of misfits and outliers.
