Podcast: Lady Gaga's "Million Reasons," Sincerity as an Artist & Super Bowl Controversy

Podcast: Lady Gaga's "Million Reasons," Sincerity as an Artist & Super Bowl Controversy

Hey, Everyone! Welcome to this week's episode of the Pop Song Professor podcast. I made this for you about "Million Reasons" by Lady Gaga because I think it's a fantastic song and that she's a fantastic artist with an interesting perspective on sincerity as an artist and as a person. This podcast goes over who she is, "Million Reasons," the music video thereof, and a little bit of the Super Bowl controversy caused by body shamers.

Enjoy, and don't forget to rate this podcast on iTunes!!! All the best!
