Having nothing better to do tonight, I engaged in some
research and discovered that she actually has a lot of talent. (What else she
has I don’t want to see, but the talent was welcome. This is me being
magnanimous.)
The problem is this: I’ve now seen lots of pictures and
videos of Lady Gaga, and I still haven’t a clue what she looks like. How many
Lady Gagas are there?

I've always found that I have a self-specific face blindness, so that I always think that I look different in every picture that exists of me, and wouldn't recognize myself except for things like my hair and clothes. Lady Gaga is sort of the extreme of that, I guess.
If you Google "Lady Gaga before she was famous" you can see pictures of her when she was a bit more generic in appearance.
But the answer to your question is probably thousands.
I suspect that 'self-specific face blindness' might indicate the innate perception that you're not actually real, and that all pictures of you are variations on an illusion.
It took me two hours including a nap by the fire to think that one up.
p.s.
Tried your suggestion but it didn't help much. I'm none the wiser.
I wonder whether she walks around wearing a T shirt which says 'I am Lady Gaga. Feel free to ask for my autograph.' How would anybody know otherwise?
If she does, maybe we should all wear T shirts saying 'No, I'm Lady Gaga.' (Like Spartacus, you know?)
