Lady Gaga just added another major trophy to her ever-growing collection—and it’s a big one.
On Tuesday, May 20, the 38-year-old superstar was officially crowned an Emmy winner at the 2025 Sports Emmy Awards. She took home the award for Outstanding Music Direction thanks to her stunning performance of “Hold My Hand,” the ballad from Top Gun: Maverick, which she sang during the 2025 Super Bowl pre-game show.
The win doesn’t just mark another impressive milestone—it puts her within arm’s reach of one of entertainment’s most elusive honors: the EGOT. If you’re not familiar, EGOT status is reserved for those rare artists who’ve won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. With her Emmy now secured, Gaga only needs a Tony Award to complete the legendary set.
To date, Gaga has already racked up an astonishing 14 Grammy Awards, proving her dominance in the music world. She added an Academy Award in 2018 for “Shallow,” her unforgettable duet with Bradley Cooper in A Star Is Born, which won Best Original Song.
This recent Emmy win puts her in elite company, showing her versatility extends far beyond the recording studio and the movie screen. Now all eyes are on Broadway—will Gaga take the stage next?
Her Emmy-winning Super Bowl performance wasn’t just about showmanship—it was deeply personal. Held on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Gaga’s rendition of “Hold My Hand” served as a tribute to the victims of the tragic New Year’s attack that claimed 14 lives earlier this year. The emotional performance aired just before kickoff and quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
