Overview

• On Sept. 26, Gaga marked Polansky’s 42nd birthday with an Instagram post featuring a farm kiss watched by goats, a hug by a food truck, and a cake with a single candle.
• Gaga has called Polansky “the love of my life” and “MY artist of the year,” highlighting his personal support and creative partnership.
• Her caption described a low‑key celebration with a crisp, almost rainy day, a long walk, laughter, and angel food cake with chocolate sauce.
• Reports credit Polansky as a writer on several Mayhem tracks, an executive producer on the album, and a co‑executive producer of The Mayhem Ball.
• The post follows Gaga’s 2025 VMA Artist of the Year win and her announcement of additional North American Mayhem Ball dates in early 2026, including encore shows in Los Angeles and New York.
