Lady Gaga Moves Closer to EGOT with Sports Emmy Win
The song “Hold My Hand” was originally released as part of the soundtrack for Top Gun: Maverick. It was written by Lady Gaga and BloodPop. The song was earlier recognized at the Academy Awards and the Grammys, while people praised it for its strong vocals and meaningful lyrics.
Gaga's emotional Hold My Hand performance on Bourbon Street in New Orleans was a tribute to the victims of the January 1 terrorist attack that claimed 14 lives. With the traditional gospel choir and Brady and Strahan introducing the song, Lady Gaga created a moving tribute to the city's spirit.
Lady Gaga’s Sports Emmy win is another big milestone in her career. She already has 14 Grammys for songs like Just Dance, Bad Romance, and Shallow. She also won an Oscar in 2019 for Shallow from A Star Is Born. She hasn’t won a Tony yet, but her recent wins bring her closer to achieving an EGOT.
