Lady Gaga Is One Step Away From Her EGOT

Lady Gaga has been collecting major entertainment awards for more than a decade, and now she’s one step closer to securing EGOT status, which is often considered the most coveted accomplishments in showbiz.

The singer and actress has earned her first Emmy Award, her third of the four major trophies handed out in the entertainment industry. Gaga is among the winners at the 2025 Sports Emmy Awards, which celebrate excellence in television production focused on sports.

The pop icon came out on top in the Outstanding Music Direction category. She shares the win with a team of producers and a music editor for her performance of her Oscar-nominated track “Hold My Hand” during the Super Bowl.

Gaga is now officially an Emmy winner, though she’s been nominated multiple times before at the Primetime Emmy Awards, which are generally considered the main Emmys. She received her first nomination in 2011 for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special for Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden. She returned to that arena more than once alongside Tony Bennett for their televised specials. Gaga was also nominated for her headline performance during the Super Bowl halftime show but did not win that year.

With this latest win, Gaga has now collected the E, G, and O in her future EGOT. She’s a 14-time Grammy winner with a total of 38 nominations. That number that grew at the 2025 ceremony when “Die With a Smile,” her collaboration with Bruno Mars, won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

She’s also already an Oscar winner, having claimed Best Original Song in 2019 with “Shallow” from A Star Is Born. That same year, she was also up for Best Actress for the same film. Impressively, Gaga has earned a trio of Best Original Song nominations in less than a decade. She was first up for the honor in 2016 with “Til It Happens to You,” and she returned in 2023 with “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick.

Now, Gaga only needs to score a Tony Award — the prize that honors the best in Broadway — to complete her EGOT. She could go about it through various routes, but for now, she hasn’t announced any plans to head to the Great White Way.
