Lady Gaga, music legend and film star: Inside the chaos

Mark Savage, the BBC’s music correspondent, speaks to Lady Gaga,
American singer-songwriter and actress, as she reflects on the
making of her new album, the joy of attracting a younger audience
and finding happiness in love.


Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in 1986, Lady Gaga has
spent 18 years in the music industry and sold over 170 million
records. She’s an actress as well as a musician and even has her
own vegan cosmetic brand.


In 2019, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential
people in the world.


Known for her flamboyant fashion and bold public image, Lady Gaga
has often found herself in the glare of the media spotlight - and
her latest work touches on the complex relationship she has with
fame.


In this interview, you’ll hear her thoughts on art and identity,
being a super-fan of Elton John, and the lack of female role
models in the music industry, The Interview brings you

world. The best interviews from the BBC. You can listen on the
