Lady Gaga returns to Washington amid Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack buzz

Lady Gaga flew from Toronto Pearson International Airport to Washington Dulles International Airport on May 9, 2026, aboard her Gulfstream V, N474D. The early-morning departure lasted just 57 minutes, covering the roughly 350-mile route at altitudes up to 31,000 feet.

The timing coincides with heightened attention on Gaga's musical role in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which hit theaters on May 1. Her three soundtrack songs, including the duet 'Runway' with Doechii, saw streaming surges over the release weekend—'Runway' alone jumped 189% to 2.2 million U.S. plays—as reported by Billboard on May 6. Such trips often signal promotional duties in media hubs like the capital.

This flight caps a whirlwind pattern: Gaga shuttled from New York to DC on May 7, then to Toronto on May 8, echoing earlier May jaunts from Los Angeles and Miami to the area. With no known residence in DC, the recurring visits hint at business meetings or foundation work amid her post-tour pivot to film and fashion projects.
