30 details you probably missed in Lady Gaga's surreal new music video for '911'

  • Lady Gaga released a music video on Friday for "911," the eighth track on her newest album "Chromatica."
  • The surreal, five-minute visual follows a hallucinatory experience after Gaga's character is nearly killed in a car accident.
  • Many of the details in her hallucination are rooted in reality — such as an injury to her ankle, which is represented by a red anklet in her mind.
  • Many of the characters in her hallucination are also real-life people, like the paramedics who revive her.
  • We rounded up 30 details you may have missed.

Lady Gaga is back to her high-fashion, technicolor, confusing visual antics with her newest music video.

The so-called "short film" for her newest single, "911," premiered on Friday — and it recalls the surreal storylines of Gaga's past works, like "Telephone" and "Bad Romance."

Gaga wrote the song about her antipsychotic medication and, as described by Billboard's Nolan Feeney, "when your brain and your body feel at war with each other." That tension and duality is artfully reflected in the video.

"This short film is very personal to me, my experience with mental health and the way reality and dreams can interconnect to form heroes within us and all around us," she wrote on Instagram. "Something that was once my real life everyday is now a film, a true story that is now the past and not the present. It's the poetry of pain."

The five-minute video follows a hallucinatory experience after Gaga's character is nearly killed in a car accident — and upon additional viewings, many details emerge that hint at the video's twist ending.

We rounded up 30 such details that you may have missed.
