Lady Gaga broke onto the scene in 2008 and became a superstar by 2009. She became even bigger in the 2010s. She also stumbled a few times, but fought back with her undeniable talent.

From wearing a meat dress to headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, here are Lady Gaga's top ten moments of the decade.

10. ARTPOP

When this album was released in 2013, it appeared to signal Gaga's downfall. However, in retrospect, we can all appreciate what a great dance-pop record it was.

9. Carpool Karaoke

Gaga made an appearance on James Corden's "Carpool Karaoke" during promotion for her album, "Joanne." It's quite impressive how her voice seamlessly blends with the one coming from the radio.

8. Gaga: Five Foot Two

This Netflix original documentary followed Gaga as she prepared to release her album, "Joanne," and perform the Super Bowl Halftime Show. It was a raw and revealing look at who Gaga really is. It also documented her battle with chronic pain.

7. Cheek To Cheek with Tony Bennett

In the aftermath of "Artpop," this duet album helped Gaga reach a whole new audience. It also helped her gain a whole new level of respect from the public. Prior to this release, so many of Gaga's musical talents were overlooked because of her theatrical nature.

6. Joanne

While not a favorite among all Gaga fans, this deeply personal album is a highlight among Gaga's catalogue. It might not be her usual brand of dance-pop, but it still has plenty of the goodness pop has to offer. It also proved she could strip away all her avant-garde sensibilities and still be Lady Gaga.

5. The Monster Ball Tour

The Monster Ball Tour captured Gaga at her peak in popularity and success. It played to millions of fans around the world for two years. It was also shot for a concert film which aired on HBO and released later on DVD.

4. A Star Is Born

This was Gaga's first starring film role. Gaga not only proved herself as an actress, but found success with the film's soundtrack. The song "Shallow," sung with Bradley Cooper, became a huge success. It even earned Gaga her Academy Award for Best Original Song.

3. Super Bowl LI Halftime Show

Gaga headlined the Super Bowl LI Halftime Show in 2017 to a record amount of viewers. Her halftime show became the second most viewed halftime show at that point. Her hits-filled setlist and impressive choreography made it worth the watch.

2. "Telephone" Video

The premiere of the "Telephone" video transported everybody back to the eighties. In an age where music videos get uploaded to YouTube, this one premiered on television. The 10 minute short film featuring Beyonce got its world premiere on the "E" network in 2010. Needless to say, Gaga added "Telephone" to her list of huge pop hits.

1. The Meat Dress

Gaga swept the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. Even though she didn't perform, Gaga still managed to steal the show. Her iconic meat dress became one of the most talked-about moments in VMA history. What most people don't know, is its meaning was a commentary about the controversial "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Gaga arrived at the show with several gay and lesbian service members who were discharged.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
