The Grammy winners debut their first collaboration, \u201cRUNWAY,\u201d a fashion-fueled anthem that doubles as the lead track from the upcoming <em>The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em> soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Released April 27 alongside a striking visual directed by Parris Goebel, the song wastes no time setting its tone. The video opens with Gaga and Doechii stitched into a single oversized red blazer, a surreal image that quickly gives way to a mantra fit for any catwalk: \u201cNo matter what, no matter what\/ You got to strut.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, the clip leans fully into fantasy. Think powdered wigs, sculptural gowns, and makeup that feels pulled from a gallery installation. The two trade verses and poses as the camera follows them through a world that blends ballroom energy with editorial fashion spreads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ilehjgb.nitrocdn.com\/MaDoGxjDAyLtsWQvjTCFJzBiWnmGXkta\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-a897662\/gayety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lady-gaga-and-doechii-runway-music-video-outtakes-v0-dvg3f13g8sxg1-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"Lady Gaga and Doechii team up for \u201cRUNWAY,\u201d the lead single from &quot;The Devil Wears Prada 2&quot; soundtrack, with a high-fashion video and early chart success.\" class=\"wp-image-149256\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Runway Built for Two<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaga leads with a declaration that reads like a mission statement:<br>\u201cWalk, I\u2019m feeling fab\/ I\u2019m feeling free, I feel exceptionally me\/ Hate all you want, but I\u2019m dangerous\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doechii meets her with a verse that feels just as self-assured, sliding into the beat with:<br>\u201cYes, serve a little sass\/ Yes, with a little side of ass\/ Yes, got the front row screaming\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time they unite on the chorus, the message is clear, the dance floor is theirs to command. The track closes with a chant that feels destined for live shows:<br>\u201cPose\/ I ain\u2019t scared of no cameras\/ Born for the runway\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The visual mirrors that confidence. Custom looks from designers including LUAR, Robert Wun, and Gaurav Gupta rotate quickly, with each outfit pushing the concept further. Matching Thom Solo opera platforms anchor several scenes, while a red crocodile heel moment gives Gaga one of the video\u2019s sharpest visual beats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ilehjgb.nitrocdn.com\/MaDoGxjDAyLtsWQvjTCFJzBiWnmGXkta\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-a897662\/gayety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lady-Gaga-Doechii-RUNWAY-042726-9c5fb75689b24754b90915eb32763725-640x427.webp\" alt=\"Lady Gaga and Doechii team up for \u201cRUNWAY,\u201d the lead single from &quot;The Devil Wears Prada 2&quot; soundtrack, with a high-fashion video and early chart success.\" class=\"wp-image-149255\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Stylish Nod to a Cult Classic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRUNWAY\u201d is deeply tied to the world of <em>The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em>. The video slips in references to the fictional magazine that defines the franchise, including a quick shot of a \u201cRunway\u201d cover featuring <a href=\"http:\/\/gayety.com\/tag\/Emily-Blunt\">Emily Blunt<\/a>\u2019s character, Emily Charlton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sequel reunites Blunt with original cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci, with director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna also returning. This time, the story centers on Miranda Priestly navigating a shifting media landscape, where print is fading and power dynamics have changed. Emily, once her assistant, now holds influence, and the advertising dollars Priestly needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The film arrives May 1, with Gaga also making a cameo appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Mutual Admiration to Collaboration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pairing didn\u2019t come out of nowhere. Gaga has been vocal about her admiration for Doechii, previously telling <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.co.uk\/\">British Vogue<\/a><\/em>, \u201cYou don\u2019t often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary.\u201d She added that Doechii\u2019s \u201craw, deeply personal perspective\u201d left a lasting impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doechii\u2019s reaction was just as candid. \u201cI\u2019m the biggest Lady Gaga fan,\u201d she said, recalling that she \u201caudibly gasped\u201d when she heard the praise. \u201cFor a legend like that to say that about me, it really, really validated me in a humbling way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their chemistry here suggests that admiration translated easily into the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ilehjgb.nitrocdn.com\/MaDoGxjDAyLtsWQvjTCFJzBiWnmGXkta\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-a897662\/gayety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Lady-Gaga-Doechii-RUNWAY-042726-5-98345bdedd134da382e0d1a533aad009-640x427.webp\" alt=\"Lady Gaga and Doechii team up for \u201cRUNWAY,\u201d the lead single from &quot;The Devil Wears Prada 2&quot; soundtrack, with a high-fashion video and early chart success.\" class=\"wp-image-149254\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early Numbers and What\u2019s Next<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRUNWAY\u201d is already gaining traction. The track opened with more than 16.2 million unfiltered streams on Spotify globally, landing at No. 32 on the platform\u2019s global chart. In the U.S., it debuted at No. 25 with over 727,000 streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind the scenes, the song brings together a heavyweight lineup of writers and producers, including Andrew Watt, Bruno Mars, Cirkut, and Dernst \u201cD\u2019Mile\u201d Emile II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Gaga, the release follows her recent Mayhem Ball Tour, while Doechii continues a rapid ascent that has made her one of the most watched artists in pop and hip-hop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With \u201cRUNWAY,\u201d the two come together to create a cohesive and melodic masterpiece. One where fashion, music, and performance blur into something truly special that I\u2019ll be thinking about and revisiting for time to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if the final chant is any indication, they\u2019re not asking for permission to take that space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were \u201cborn for the runway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Lady Gaga, Doechii - RUNWAY (Official Music Video)\" width=\"749\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XXIX2WnfbpE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaga and Doechii debut \u201cRUNWAY,\u201d a bold fashion anthem for &#8220;Devil Wears Prada 2.&#8221; Lady Gaga and Doechii have officially entered their couture era together, and they\u2019re doing it in sync.
