After tweeting a glimpse of her new music video for #1 hit “Born This Way,” Lady Gaga has officially released the official music video via Vevo Monday, February 28th.

Gaga’s video features the “birth of a new race”…and shows just that in the opening (including a glimpse of the ‘vessel’ aka her Grammy entrance egg as well).

Something else Gaga’s showing in her video is her bangin’ bod, Gaga dons a taupe and black bra top and underwear as she embraces being “Born This Way.”

Gaga herself describes the video as “the birth of a new race within the race of humanity. The birth of a new race that doesn’t bear any prejudices. I think the most important thing is that I continue to grow, and I knew when I put [out] ‘Born This Way’ it would be a transitional moment, because it doesn’t sound like [my previous singles].”

As for Gaga’s choreographer, and upcoming “The Dance Scene” reality star, Laurieann Gibson warned earlier to MTV of the video: “I will tell you it is a life-changing experience…You can expect the highest level of execution in vocal music art and dance … but you will be shocked.”

So, little monsters, were you shocked by the video’s images or were you expecting nothing less from Gaga? Let us know what you think!

“Born This Way” is currently #1 in 14 countries, including making history on the Billboard Hot 100 song chart, as the 1,000th leading song in the 52 years of the list’s existence!
