Never underestimate Mother Monster.

1. Make fashion history by wearing a dress made of real meat and win eight VMAs in the process.

2. Walk off a plane wearing 934 inch heels and still have fully functioning ankles.

4. Sing a duet with Kermit the Frog...

...just a few years after wearing an outfit made up of dead Kermits.

5. Swallow an entire octopus for Coachella, even if it was digitally added.

Oh, and chill with a lizard while having no eyes.

6. Perform atop a giant stiletto sculpture made by her little sister, Natali. And in front of Oprah, no less.

7. Arrive to the Grammys in a giant vessel, or as most have called it, an egg.

10. Walk on sand in heels like it's easy.

11. Release a black unisex fragrance that metaphorically contains blood and semen.

12. Poison a diner full of people and then run from the cops alongside Beyoncé in a music video.

13. Then kill two people in a blood-soaked orgy with Matt Bomer on American Horror Story...

14. ...AND also win a Golden Globe for it.

15. Have Cher call her phone.

16. Show up to the American Music Awards on a horse made of people.

17. Wear FOUR different outfits to the Met Gala...

26. Create a whole makeup brand with Amazon, making it the first major exclusive beauty brand for the company.
