(CBS) - The moment you've been waiting for is here: Lady Gaga's highly anticipated "Judas" music video has been released -- and a few hours earlier than you expected.
"Judas" was supposed to premiere on the E! Network at 7 P.M. EST tonight, but somehow the video for the controversial song managed to leak online early this morning. For a while, it seemed that Gaga's people were scrambling around trying to erase any evidence of the video, but they soon gave up. The artist has now posted the "Judas" on her official VEVO page.
The video for the song, which is about a woman who is in love with someone she shouldn't be, features Gaga as a Mary Magdalene-type character who is the female companion of a Jesus-like leader of a bike gang. However, Gaga is really in love with Judas, the hot-tempered anti-hero of the video. Filled with religious iconography and references to Catholic beliefs, if the song didn't make people listen up, then this video certainly will.
But, don't just take our word for it. Watch the "Judas" music video for yourself below.
