Gaga will be on the set of ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ on the day of the event, which is set to take place in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 12. Producers for the show went on to say that they completely understand “that that’s what is priority in this business, especially when we are honoring movies.”

Writing this song for the film Top Gun: Maverick was a deep and powerful experience that I will never forget,” she wrote on Instagram. “So grateful for the magic of music and cinema. Love you my co-writer Bloodpop I’m on set filming now big love to little monsters!”
