Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga's little monsters still have to wait 17 days until she premieres her new single, "Born This Way," but the pop star gave her fans a preview of the song by releasing the opening lyrics -- "Don't be a drag, just be a queen" -- on Perez Hilton today (Jan. 27).

 

Shortly after the reveal, Gaga hinted that she may unveil the complete lyrics to "Born This Way" today as a thank-you for her fans' support on Twitter. " is trending!? More like !" the singer wrote. "Maybe I should leak the lyrics to Born This Way today, whatdya say ?"

The lyrics leak is the latest tease of Gaga's highly anticipated sophomore album "Born This Way," due out May 23, before she unveils the title track on Feb. 13. The singer premiered a remix to a new song at a Thierry Mugler fashion show last week and sang a snippet of "Born This Way" while accepting an award at the MTV VMAs in September.

 

Even if the trending Twitter topic #leakitgaga doesn't inspire Mother Monster to leak any more lyrics, Gaga is expected to debut the song in grand fashion when performing at the Grammy Awards ceremony alongside Eminem, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry on Feb. 13.
