Little monsters, get ready to go behind-the-scenes of Gaga's epic performance at this year's Super Bowl Halftime show as she premieres a one-hour long documentary, titled "Five Foot Two," next month. The singer made the surprise announcement on Instagram on Wednesday night.

From Gagadaily, but is this the same documentary coming to HBO about the break up, album etc too?

MOST REVEALING MOMENTS FROM THE DOCUMENTARY

(spoilers) ~~

Relationship with Taylor Kinney

From the first scene of the film, it’s clear that Gaga’s relationship with the Chicago Fire star is on the rocks. “Me and Taylor are fighting, so that sucks,” she says. “My threshold for bulls— with men is just — I don’t have one anymore. In relationships, you have to move together.” Shortly after, Gaga reveals that she’s written a new song: “Million Reasons.”

After they split, the singer breaks down in tears as she alludes to the fact that her growing career might have contributed to the breakup. Gaga and Kinney called it quits shortly after she landed a leading role in Bradley Cooper‘s A Star Is Born.

“My love life has just imploded,” she says. “I sold 10 million [records] and lost Matt. I sold 30 million and lost Luke. I did a movie and lose Taylor. It’s like a turnover. This is the third time I’ve had my heart broken like this.”

But despite the heartbreak, the former couple appear to have remained on good terms. Gaga received a bouquet of flowers from Kinney on the day of her Super Bowl performance. “Nothing like flowers from your ex-fiancé on the day of the Super Bowl,” she says, making light of the situation.

The Madonna Drama

Gaga addresses her relationship with Madonna – which has long been the subject of rumors of drama after the iconic star was quoted saying that the singer’s “Born This Way” single was a rip-off of her 1989 hit “Express Yourself.”

“So the thing with me and Madonna, for example, is that I admired her always,” she tells a friend. “And I still admire her, no matter what she might think of me.”

But the singer did admit that she wishes Madonna would have just spoken to her directly, instead of through the media.

“She wouldn’t look me in the eye and tell me that I was reductive or whatever,” Gaga says, admitting she learned about the diss while watching television. “Telling me you think I’m a piece of s— through the media? It’s like a guy passing me a note through his friend.”

Lady Gaga has revealed she has fibromyalgia, a long-term condition which can cause pain all over the body.

The singer made the announcement on Twitter where she also said the illness features in her latest documentary.

"I wish to help raise awareness and connect people who have it. We can all share what helps/hurts," she tweeted.

Lady Gaga first spoke about living with chronic pain in 2013 but this is the first time she's revealed the cause.

Cannot wait to watch this!! Really hope it gets a DVD release too it would be a perfect Christmas present. Really hope it gives her a boost on UK charts too in particular Joanne in which we get to see the making of in some ways.

Posted by: Josh! 19th September 2017, 08:10 PM

Looks like it could be really eye-opening and it will definitely be interesting to see life from her perspective. I loved the ending too with the old customer

Posted by: UltraReputation 22nd September 2017, 07:05 PM

So excited to watch this some point over the next couple of days!

Also I can't find a thread for it, but in other Gaga news A Star Is Born has its release date moved from September 2018 to May 2018!

Posted by: John-James 22nd September 2017, 08:02 PM

Omg!!!!! Just finished watching! LOVED IT

When she played her Grandma 'Joanne' I bawled like a baby. What a special moment.

I was really hoping they'd dedicate it to Sonja, glad I wasn't disappointed at the end.

I'm left with so many emotions, what an incredible woman.

Posted by: lotita 22nd September 2017, 08:22 PM

GROUNDBREAKING

i started crying at the phone call with sonja before her NYT interview and found it hard to stop after that. just such an incredible, inspiring woman she deserves the whole WORLD

Posted by: lotita 22nd September 2017, 08:45 PM

literally about to put this on, so excited but prepared to weep

Posted by: Jordan Lee 23rd September 2017, 06:43 PM

Just watched it. Absolutely incredible. Loved it so much will definitely watch this over and over again!

Posted by: Rob Spears 23rd September 2017, 06:53 PM

Started slowly, but really was a worthwhile watch!

Posted by: Jonjo 23rd September 2017, 09:32 PM

I'm literally broken at the line "she had so much talent, but so little time"

Posted by: Rob Spears 23rd September 2017, 09:44 PM

Gaga playing her Grandma ‘Joanne’ was emosh ngl.

Posted by: Spiceboy 23rd September 2017, 09:53 PM

I'm gonna find time to watch this tomorrow!

Really interested to see how A Star Is Born goes down!

Posted by: HausofSZA 23rd September 2017, 10:08 PM

Watching now. I'm a wreck already.

Posted by: Jonjo 23rd September 2017, 10:41 PM

Just finished. I'm a sucker for these tell all documentaries. So good. Such an emotional rollercoaster and it's great to see just how much work she puts into everything. Like, you knew she was a perfectionist and an "all in" girl, but it's amazing to actually see it. Her playing 'Joanne' for her Grandma was so beautiful. </3

She really is one of a kind. People say she "shades" Madonna, but I genuinely don't think it's shade at all. Yeah she says stuff about it, but it's just her interpretation of it. It's nice to hear someone so famous speak so openly about the feud and you actually believe them.

She's very special. We need to take good care of her.

Posted by: HausofSZA 23rd September 2017, 10:45 PM

I've just seen her play Joanne for her grandma and dad and I'm weeping. That was too honest a moment to share :'(

Posted by: Andrew. 24th September 2017, 12:26 AM

As others have said, the moment where she played Joanne was incredible but everything about the song and Joanne herself was heartbreaking at the same time Her grandma must have been so proud <3

Posted by: HausofSZA 24th September 2017, 10:24 AM

This was such a good watch Touching moments throughout, but plenty of laughs and a true representation of what she's like behind the scenes (determined, fearless but also fragile and sensitive). I'm so glad we got this, it's really made the whole Joanne era even more meaningful

Posted by: HausofSZA 24th September 2017, 10:25 AM

SHE'S FAR FROM FLAWLESS BUT MY LORD DOES SHE HAVE A DIAMOND HEART

Posted by: blacksquare 25th September 2017, 11:18 AM

This was fantastic, and really just solidifies my love for her. I always find it so interesting when people who seemingly have it all are so unhappy.

The album really was a gift to her father, right? It does sound better than ever listening to it since.

Posted by: HausofSZA 25th September 2017, 06:57 PM

Completely all of this.

As she mentions, the fans knew something was up with her pretty much from the end of the BTW era and especially during the ARTPOP era. It's quite a relief to be able to put a name to her illness and for her to openly share the ghosts that have haunted her.

On the album, it certainly is making a lot more sense after watching this, i'm finding myself returning to it a fair bit more now again!

Posted by: SKOB 26th September 2017, 06:14 AM

So glad that there are people who have watched the doc, Pulse is so quiet!

I love this so much, have watched it 3 times already! My favourite part is probably the Bad Romance performance but I also love how she talks her performances as WE, "We are going to get the Super Bowl" and how she defends her dancers saying they're tired. True queen <3

GAGA'S STREAMING SPIKES AFTER FIVE FOOT TWO
Lady Gaga is enjoying a streaming spike in the wake of the documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two bowing on Netflix.

The film, taking viewers behind the scenes of a year in her life leading up to her Super Bowl LI performance, recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. The Netflix launch, however, has boosted no fewer than 10 tracks.

Spotify reported a 53% increase in Interscope's "Joanne" songstress's streams as of the Monday after Five Foot Two's premiere (9/25). "Joanne" in particular boasted a 365% streaming increase since the Monday prior to the doc's release (9/18). "Hey Girl" had a 259% bump and "Sinner's Prayer" was up 238%. All 10 of the songs reported had at least a 100% increase.

Posted by: HausofSZA 1st October 2017, 02:43 PM

Rewatched this and found it potentially even better second time round. What a feat.

Posted by: SKOB 2nd October 2017, 11:58 AM

I've watched it 4 times

Posted by: Jo...shh! It's coming 22nd October 2017, 07:36 PM

FINALLY watched this today and was just so stunned by how personal and touching it is. I feel like Gaga is one of the few artists daring enough to open up her entire personal life in a documentary but it has made me appreciate her so much.

I physically started sobbing after she finished playing "Joanne" to her Grandma and it seems that moment touched so many people here on Buzzjack too. It was endearing to see her funny side as well in moments like the Walmart scene :') Overall, this is a very special documentary and I'm glad she shared it with us

Posted by: Spiceboy 22nd October 2017, 11:46 PM

I personally found it a little too raw. I think because I am fairly private and I can't think of anything worse than having my troubles/difficult times broadcast on TV I found it a bit cringe to watch at times. The bit where she was playing Joanne for her grandmother I had to actually leave the room, I cannot understand why anyone would want to put their grandmother in that position in front of cameras.

I did find interaction with recording and her dancers interesting to watch though. I am a huge Gaga fan, love her music and think she is so unbelievably talented, but this was too personal for me I wouldn't want to watch it again.

Posted by: SKOB 23rd October 2017, 05:15 AM

I felt the same about the grandma scene as well, but that was the only one. I think it's because for once it made other people uncomfortable, not just herself, but it was also interesting to watch.

Posted by: jase. 23rd October 2017, 09:05 PM

This documentary just needs to win all of the awards really. Absolutely INCREDIBLE.

Posted by: WitchHaus 24th October 2017, 11:20 AM

I really hope it cleans up at the awards but that's probably just wishful thinking!...

Posted by: liamk97 24th October 2017, 11:48 AM

Just finished watching - what a fascinating and eye-opening watch! Very emotional at times but plenty of fun, goofy Gaga moments too. I loved watching the scenes of her and Mark recording in the studio; it felt so old-school and authentic, with the music really being at the heart.

Posted by: SKOB 29th October 2017, 11:05 AM

I still LIVE FOR the Bad Romance version she sings at Tony Bennett's birthday party.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 31st March 2018, 11:46 PM

I NEEED this on DVD.

Posted by: SKOB 17th June 2018, 07:11 AM

Bitch lied, she ain't even five foot two

Posted by: Jordan Lee 17th May 2020, 04:22 PM

I just watched this again this afternoon!!

One part she says to Mark Ronson YOU’RE MY FAVOURITE!!

Always notice new things on rewatches of this like at the start she’s just mentioning A Star Is Born has been approved and she’s set to star in it.

And at the end when she’s about to head to do the super bowl she gets flowers from Taylor! Swear that part went right over my head at first.

But such a good watch! The part where she meets her fan and surprises her is

Posted by: SKOB 17th May 2020, 05:22 PM

I've watched it like 6 times lol

I'm not sure if it's chronological in the picture but I believe the opening scene is from May/June 2016 because she and Taylor broke up "officially" in July. She was officially announced to star on ASIB in August 2016.

Posted by: Hauspital* 17th May 2020, 07:10 PM

I really need to rewatch this. Flop fan has only watched it once

Posted by: Jαsє 17th May 2020, 07:12 PM

The scene where she's laid out crying in pain really got to me and I've been reluctant to revisit this ever since Which is a shame because it's an absolutely brilliant piece of work.

Posted by: Hauspital* 17th May 2020, 07:14 PM

It is very difficult at parts, but I guess we know that following on from this she had the humongous ASIB era and so that's comfort for the viewing!

Posted by: Sour Candy 28th November 2020, 06:13 PM

I'm intrigued to watch this again today but probably won't until tomorrow or next week. How many times you have watched it? I have maybe 5 or 6.

Posted by: HausofHitchcock 28th November 2020, 06:17 PM

I am long overdue a watch! Might do so over the Christmas holidays

Posted by: Sour Candy 28th November 2020, 06:26 PM

Ooh yes it's perfect for holidays now that there are not much movies in theatres.

Posted by: HausofHitchcock 28th November 2020, 09:44 PM

Also adding A Very Gaga Thanksgiving to my list for the holiday season

Posted by: Sour Candy 16th October 2021, 03:37 PM

Sooo... Joanne era turns 5 this autumn - perfect time to revisit this as well as it goes through her songwriting and recording sessions of Joanne. It's still on Netflix!! If you haven't watched it yet, do it now, it's very insightful and good peek of what it's like to be an artist of her calibre.

https://www.netflix.com/fi/title/80196586

Posted by: HausEatsGrandma 7th May 2022, 10:06 PM

I am rewatching this currently and am a mess lmao. It makes the Joanne era make so much sense.

Posted by: Sour Candy 8th May 2022, 09:31 AM

I have watched it so many times that I can still remember how it goes from scene to scene, but maybe I should revisit it again.

Posted by: HausEatsGrandma 22nd September 2022, 06:16 AM

This premiered 5 years ago! Who's rewatching this week?

Posted by: Sour Candy 22nd September 2022, 07:21 AM

OOH I might!

Posted by: Adelita 23rd September 2022, 12:47 AM

I watched it last month

Posted by: Sour Candy 23rd September 2022, 05:15 AM

It's so painful to watch her battling with the illness and worrying about Sonja

Posted by: HausEatsGrandma 23rd September 2022, 06:03 AM

I rewatched it not too long ago and that is the toughest bit to get through the way they shoot the build up to the Superbowl is incredible though
