Lady Gaga - Million Reasons  Representations/ Stereotypes  She's wearing a pink suit/cowboy outfit. Pink represents her femininity but the suit represents her power and perhaps a little masculinity suggesting equality. Perhaps she wants more equal representations of women.  Women support her/ care for her when shes distressed and crying in the desert.
