After the low key clip for “Edge of Glory,” in which she abandoned plans to appear as a mermaid in favor of just singing on a city-themed soundstage, the video for “Yoü and I” marks a return to the lavishly produced mini films fans have come to expect from Gaga. Bette Midler had briefly marked her claim on the mermaid in a wheelchair costume, with several tweets before sending another saying “Fabulous mermaids can coexist.”
Gaga had announced that her new video would be her 1000th tweet. “Yoü and I” was scheduled to premiere on Thursday and earlier today fans were curious about a series of tweets from the performer that read, “Fuck,” “Thurs,” and “Day” before she sent a link to the new video marking her 1000th message sent via Twitter.
