Lady Gaga ageism

At the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Lady Gaga criticised ageism in pop music, declaring that being in her late 30s should not be seen as “old” for a pop star

 

American singer Lady Gaga has strongly criticized the ageism prevalent in the pop music industry, particularly the idea that women in their late 30s are considered “old” for a pop star.

The 38-year-old superstar made this bold statement while accepting the Innovator Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 17, 2025.

Reflecting on her career during the award acceptance speech, Gaga expressed how difficult it was to fathom receiving an honour at the age of 38. She challenged the industry’s narrow perception of age, especially for women in the spotlight.

“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 30s old for a pop star, which is insane, but I promise you I’m just getting warmed up,” she added, making it clear that her journey in music was far from over.

Gaga’s comments sparked conversations about the unrealistic standards imposed on women in the music industry, especially regarding their age. Her powerful words continue to challenge the stereotypes that often limit the careers of women as they age.

In other news from the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Nigerian singers Burna Boy and Tems, who were nominated for the inaugural World Artist Of The Year award, lost out to South African artist Tyla.

Despite the loss, their nominations marked significant milestones for African music on the global stage.
