“Mayhem” puts the lie to that idea: Brash, squirmy, full of detailed grooves and expertly crafted hooks, it’s a winning reclamation of her trademark sound — her best since 2011’s “Born This Way” and precisely the album you’d want her to drop before headlining Coachella, as Lady Gaga will do next month.

Lady Gaga will perform her first concert in Mexico in 13 years on April 26 at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City, Live Nation announced on Monday (March 3) in a press release, followed by a post by the pop star on Instagram. “¡Viva La MAYHEM! We’re coming back,” she wrote.

The idea of big fun suggests the existence of little fun, and Lady Gaga is now the kind of pop star who can do both. “Just Dance.” Meat dress. Being carried down the red carpet at the Grammys inside an egg.
