13 Shocking predictions for 2016 that came through (With Pictures)

8. Lady Gaga Becomes ‘Joanne’

Last year it was predicted among pop culture analysts and psychics that 2016 would be the year we finally see Lady Gaga in her true form. She’d slowly peel back the layers and we’d see her as a real person, not a character.

Throughout her rise, we’ve seen the popstar hide behind meat dresses, huge hats and wigs – rarely showing us a stripped down version of who she really is. We caught a glimpse during her collaboration with Tony Bennet, but by far the rawest version of Gaga came with the release of Joanne.

Her pop hits were less about clubbing and more about her personal experience as a celebrity, issues and the death of her aunt, Joanne.
