Lady Gaga Talks ‘Artpop’ Breakdown, Says Repressing Art is Like Stifling

“Maybe they’ll recognize themselves in these women”, writes Clinton, before shouting out a list of iconic and influential artists such as Lady Gaga, Missy Elliott, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and Lana Del Rey.

The Born This Way singer will celebrate the age milestone on 28 March (15), and although she admits to previously being upset about her advancing years, she has since realised growing older is nothing to be afraid of.

‘At the end of 2014, my stylist asked, “Do you even want to be a pop star anymore?” I just can’t. [But] I have to get off now in light of the fact that I’m going to kick the bucket.’ When you’re going so quick you don’t feel safe any longer, you have an inclination that you’re being slapped around and you can’t think straight. “I can put all my rage into that dark art, and then the rest of my life can be spent clearheaded, doing the things I know to be right, like philanthropy and sticking to my guns musically”.

Lady Gaga, Billboard’s Woman of the Year, has said that the honor parallels a sense of sureness she’s developed in herself – but only a year ago she was ready to throw in the towel. Individuals think, ‘You can simply take a seat at a piano at whatever point you need and compose, ‘ however I couldn’t compose for two f- – ruler years.

“I want to show women they don’t need to try to keep up with the 19 year olds and the 21 year olds in order to have a hit”, said the “Applause” singer. “But I’m a different kind of girl, and when being different is not in style it’s hard for me to function”. F- – k, your voice sounds great. Why are you letting these individuals run you into the ground? I would start to play and sing, and my mind would go, ‘You are way too talented for this shit. When did you become the fashionable robot?’ Can’t being an artist be enough?

Warming to her theme, she continued: “Women in music, they feel like they need to f***ing sell everything to be a star. It’s so sad. I want to explode as I go into my thirties”. I was that girl who got made fun of, that nerdy girl.
