Lady Gaga's 'Joanne' Album Era: The Pop Star is Redefining Her Normal

Lady Gaga released the music video for "Perfect Illusion," her most minimal one to date, on Tuesday night. The singer traded in her extravagant outfits for a casual ripped tee and hot pants, put down her wig to rock her natural hair and ditched choreography and backup dancers for a manic mosh pit party. It was strange to see a pop star acting so normal, but it may be a sign of what she has in store for her Joanne album era.

The "Perfect Illusion" video is a striking yet refreshing departure from her 2008 flashy David Bowie-inspired debut "Just Dance," or even 2009's groundbreaking "Bad Romance" video that set a new standard of what it meant to be a modern pop visionary.
