Butler - Madonna and Lady Gaga

Judith Butler is a theorist that argues gender is performed and not natural; it is learned and performed ‘Gender Trouble’ but a subversive act. Some say Madonna is seen as an icon of gender trouble performing gender and sexuality in her music videos and concerts, but is she just a product of the media machine? More currently Lady Gaga could conform to Butler’s theory with dressing differently to other celebrities such as a boy at music awards and wearing a dress made out of meat.

Lady Gaga has been known for saying Madonna is and role model and icon for her. However they've recently had a well known argument that has been in the media. Lady Gaga refused to perform in one of Madonna's concerts and Madonna retaliated and made a shout out in one of her shows to Lady Gaga starting the media argument.
