Gaga Five Foot Two: Lady Gaga teases her real thoughts on Madonna in Netflix doc clip

Gaga: Five Foot Two promises an intimate look at the musician's life in the run-up to Joanne and her Super Bowl halftime performance

If you thought Lady Gaga was too busy on her Joanne World Tour to release new projects - well, then you don't know Lady Gaga very well.

The ever industrious musical icon has released the first glimpses of her upcoming Netflix documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two, an hour-long film which chronicles the making of her album Joanne and the lead-up to her Super Bowl halftime performance.

"I'm known for being larger than life, but really I'm just... #GagaFiveFootTwo," she tweeted ahead of the clips.

It's perfect timing for Gaga, certainly; Joanne seemed to herald a new era for the musician that was less performative, more intimate, and she's long been an advocate for honest discussions about mental health.

Certainly, a topic that appears to be at the core of Gaga: Five Foot Two: one of the clips sees her tearfully state, "I'm alone, every night. All these people will leave, right? They will leave, and then I'll be alone. And I go from everyone touching me all day and talking at me all day to total silence."

The documentary will also explore her personal health issues, with another clip showing her in a doctor's office as an off-camera voice states, "Let's try to get out of this intense pain that's in your face."

However, as a full portrait of Gaga's life, it won't focus merely on painful moments; another clip shows her commenting, "The thing with me and Madonna, for example, is that I admired her always. And I still admire her, no matter what she may think of me."

"The only thing that really bothers me about her... " she begins, before the clip trails off. Now that's a tease if there ever was one.

Gaga: Five Foot Two hits Netflix on 22 September.
