Netflix and Spotify closed out The Doom Tour with a full funeral-themed party for Part 2: the Graveyard Gala at Guastavino’s.
Three hundred fans, influencers, and press, plus top Spotify listeners, filed past black candles, marble arches, and bespoke “listening coffins” for a first taste of Wednesday Season 2 Lady Gaga The Dead Dance.
Onstage with Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, and Joy Sunday, Lady Gaga announced “The Dead Dance,” an original track featured in Wednesday Season 2. Guests slipped into velvet-lined coffins to hear a private snippet; outside, the black-carpet energy turned the venue into a gothic runway. It was the perfect New York finale for Wednesday’s traveling fan experience.
Gaga told Tudum, “I’m thrilled to release this song alongside Wednesday. I’m a huge fan of the show and had so much fun appearing in it to support ‘The Dead Dance.’”

Why this song drop matters
Wednesday Season 2 Lady Gaga The Dead Dance isn’t just fan service, it’s strategic franchise building. Season 1’s viral dance sequence pushed The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck” back onto playlists and sent Gaga’s “Bloody Mary” soaring on Spotify. Folding an original Gaga track into Season 2 formalizes that synergy and gives Part 2 a signature sound to rally around. Expect runway edits, TikTok choreo, and a very busy Halloween playlist.
