This Gaga-approved moment arrives alongside the release of Dacus’ fourth album, Forever Is a Feeling, out since March 28, 2025. This project marks a departure from her indie rock roots, leaning into a softer acoustic pop sound.

Tracks like Ankles, Limerence, and Talk dive deep into romantic longing, with collaborations from indie heavyweights like Phoebe Bridgers, Singer songwriter Julien Baker performs at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, WI Music Benjamin Gibbard in Milwaukee, Milwaukee, USA - 18 Jan 2017Julien Baker (yes, her girlfriend!), and Hozier.

Currently touring North America and soon hitting Europe, Dacus is playing iconic venues like Red Rocks and Radio City Music Hall. And if you caught the Best Guess video, you might have spotted cameos from Cara Delevingne and MUNA’s Naomi McPherson. Between her new album, tour, and Gaga’s blessing, Lucy Dacus is set to dominate the indie scene.
