Lady Gaga’s “The Dead Dance” from Wednesday was a top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 last September. Now the song, which Gaga co-wrote with Andrew Watt and Henry Walter Russell (Cirkut), is nominated for a Primetime Emmy for outstanding original music and lyrics. It’s Gaga’s first Emmy nod for songwriting. “Til It Happens to You,” which Gaga performed in The Hunting Ground, won in this category in 2016, but the Emmys credited only Diane Warren as the songwriter.
Gaga has received four other Primetime Emmy nods in other categories, for Lady Gaga Presents The Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden, Super Bowl LI Halftime Show Starring Lady Gaga and a pair of specials with Tony Bennett, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live! and One Last Time: An Evening With Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.
