Lady Gaga Guests on Hot Ones

Lady Gaga is the latest guest host on First We Feast's Hot Ones. Check out the episode below.

Lady Gaga made an appearance on First We Feasts' "Hot Ones", hosted by Sean Evans. The famous spicy chicken wing challenge navigates Gaga's early career, production and music. 

The episode, released on February 13, starts with Gaga speaking about the traits she looks for in music producers following the announcement of her seventh studio album MAYHEM. "Collaboration is super important, childhood spirit and musician ship... Wherever the music is, I'm about it." 

The 14-time Grammy Award winner spoke to Evans on writing 'Born This Way' in 10 minutes, where Gaga explains that for a lot of her songs, she hears them very quickly and just follows the sound. "It's a feeling of receiving." Gaga also credits her fans and audience in recognizing a good chorus. "Sometimes I know something's [the chorus] done cause that image feels whole to me, but you really don't know if something is good until the people tell you, and they will tell you."

Midway through the spicy chicken wing challenge, the questions are kicked up a notch. Evans asks Gaga to reflect on her early-career and on-stage memories of performing on the lower east side of New York City. "I remember when me and Lady Starlight were given a residency at the Slipper Room and I was so excited, it was such an honour to be asked to perform there. I remember made my outfit for my Slipper Room show, I sowed it myself. I just look back at that time so fondly" she said. 

Evans appreciates Gaga's ability to balance high art and pop, Gaga responds "The music is something that you hear but when you add the art to it, it really changes the way you feel and changes the way you think about the song. It's awesome." 

Gaga ends the interview explaining that she always felt tested when facing whether or not she should walk away. "I'm still doing it, so it must mean I wanna do it."
