Following a winning performance at Sunday’s Oscars, art popstar Lady Gaga has been announced as the star of American Horror Story: Hotel.
Though plot and role details remain under wraps (it will likely take place in a hotel!), TV Line is reporting Gaga will be the focus and star of the anthology series’ fifth season. The singer confirmed with a Twitter teaser revealing the subtitle.
Lady Gaga is of course an international pop star, but also a natural performer as we saw in The Sound of Music tribute this past weekend. She’s scarecly acted (outside of elaborate music videos), but has certainly ended up the most energetic and maybe most aware in small roles in the deathly dull Machete Kills and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. That’s not to mention her colorful, pop art, accessibly weird aesthetic is likely a perfect mesh for Ryan Murphy’s nonsensical horror show.
With Freak Show behind us, expect more on Hotel in the coming months.
