Live Blog: Lady Gaga Premieres New Music Video 'Applause' on Good Morning America

Pop Princess Lady Gaga might have been accused of having her comeback over-shadowed by fellow songstress Katy Perry, but it was clear this morning that all of her 'little monsters' were out in full force at Times Square to catch a glimpse of her before her Good Morning America interview.

During her interview, she was asked about her broken hip, saying "I'm okay now.. I thought about nothing but my fans [during my rehab]"

She also joked that she "rehearsed on [her] back" whilst injured. 
When asked about the creation of her Applause look she said she has an
 "obsession with transforming" and the make-up is an "ode to the jester who lives for applause"
She constantly referred to her fans during her talk, saying: "I live to make you happy"                    
Her new single 'Applause' was forced to be released early on August 12th after a number of leaks. The lyric video received a number of mixed reviews, most of which criticised it's rushed release. 
The influence of magic was clear in her new video as she is seen in her signature clown-esque make up and hair covering as well as seemingly appearing from a giant top hat.
 As with all of her videos, she takes on several appearances, one of my favourites was a no-doubt a more masculine, perhaps  mad hatter inspired outfit with greased back hair, duel coloured eyebrows and bubble wrap style attire. 
The most bizarre moment of the video is when she reveals herself as a black swan with a human head (below) 
'Applause'  is full of flamboyant looks and fast paced dancing, exactly like Gaga fans would have imagined it.
