American singer Lady Gaga has spoken out against ageism in the pop music industry, stating that it’s “insane” to consider women in their late 30s “old” for a pop star.
Gaga, 38, made the comments while receiving the Innovator Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday.
“I don’t know totally how to think about this because winning an award honouring my entire career at 38 years old is a hard thing to get my head around,” Gaga said. “The world might consider a woman in her late 30’s old for a pop star, which is insane, but I promise you I’m just getting warmed up.”
Gaga’s comments highlight the ongoing issue of ageism in the music industry, where women are often subjected to unrealistic beauty standards and pressure to maintain a youthful image.
