Lady Gaga's presence in American Horror Story is sorely missed by the show's producers. In an attempt to capture her essence once again, the recently released teaser trailer for American Horror Story season 12, titled Delicate, seems to be invoking her spirit. The talented cast for this season includes Emma Roberts, Matt Czuchry, Kim Kardashian, Cara Delevingne, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Annabelle-Dexter Jones, Julia White, Debra Monk, and a cameo by Zachary Quinto, but Lady Gaga is notably absent. Lady Gaga initially appeared in season 5, American Horror Story: Hotel, as the ruthless vampire Elizabeth Johnson/The Countess. Her portrayal was highly acclaimed, earning her the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress — Miniseries or Television Film in 2015. She later made a special guest appearance in season 6, American Horror Story: Roanoke, playing the character Scáthach, an immortal witch. Despite her absence since 2016, the show continues to try and replicate her iconic style.
American Horror Story Season 12's Teaser Made Kim Kardashian Look Like Lady Gaga
The teaser trailer for season 12 of American Horror Story provides fans with a glimpse of the characters played by Kim Kardashian, Emma Roberts, and Cara Delevingne. This upcoming season is based on the novel Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine, set to be released on August 1, 2023. The storyline revolves around a woman's struggle to conceive, as she becomes convinced that a malevolent force is preventing her from becoming a mother. While the involvement of Lady Gaga in Delicate has not been confirmed, it is difficult to overlook the apparent influence of the performer in the new video.
In the teaser trailer, Kardashian and the supporting actors don long blonde wigs, resembling the appearance of Lady Gaga. Furthermore, the group dance sequences featuring Kardashian's character channel the peculiar and distinctive style associated with Lady Gaga's performances. Judging from the video, it is possible that the producers of American Horror Story had the renowned artist in mind when conceptualizing the role eventually given to Kardashian. It would have been an ideal choice to cast Lady Gaga instead. Ultimately, only time will reveal whether Kardashian can effectively embody the iconic American Horror Story character previously portrayed by Lady Gaga.
Will Lady Gaga Ever Return To American Horror Story?
Lady Gaga's potential return to American Horror Story remains uncertain as she has not made any official announcements. Nevertheless, given her previous successful stints in the fifth and sixth seasons, both the show's producers and network executives would undoubtedly be delighted to welcome her back. Additionally, fans would be overjoyed to see Lady Gaga grace another season of the FX series. Creator Ryan Murphy has also hinted at the possibility of bringing witches back in a future season, raising the possibility of Lady Gaga reprising her captivating role as Scáthach in American Horror Story season 12.
