Bounce icon Big Freedia was the first artist announced releasing a special cover of a Born This Way track, starting with the infamous "Judas!"
"'Judas' was my favorite song when it came out originally, so I really wanted to cover it," Freedia said in a statement. "I am beyond excited that it's the first to drop from this project! To me, 'Judas' is a love song about when someone does you dirty. I've sure had my experience with that. Who can't relate?"
Gay country star and king of masks Orville Peck had the honor of covering the album's chart-topping title track "Born This Way."
Gaga's "Marry the Night" got the disco treatment when fellow pop icon and passionate LGBTQ+ ally Kylie Minogue put her own spin on the record!
"Surprise!" Kylie wrote in a tweet when she announced her cover. "My version of @ladygaga's "Marry the Night" is out now! Join me in celebrating the tenth anniversary of Born This Way. Time to dance #LOVERS!"
It's a Sin star Olly Alexander, the now-solo force behind Years & Years, just released his version of "The Edge of Glory" and judging by Gaga's recent tweet, she's just as excited about it as we are!
The Tony-winning actor and singer reinvented Gaga's "You and I" in the moodiest and most epic way that only he can! And unlike the other covers on this list, he even filmed a music video for it! "I love you @ladygaga," Ben wrote on Instagram when it was revealed that he covered the Born This Way classic "Thank you for letting me be part of #bornthisway reimagined."
