This marks Gaga's fourth time on the cover of the magazine and her first since 2011.
Read the cover story here, and check out some highlights below.
On mental health
Gaga opened up about the mental health struggles she faced after the release of "ARTPOP" in 2013. She said "ARTPOP" altered the trajectory of her career because it "was the first time that [she] ever had major criticism about a piece of work" she made.
From there, she discussed how her mental health problems continued through the next decade. She said she did "A Star is Born" on lithium, a powerful mood stabilizer, and had a psychotic break after filming on the Joanne World Tour: "I needed to take a break. I couldn't do anything ... I completely crashed. It was really scary. There was a time where I didn't think I could get better. ... I feel really lucky to be alive."
She continued to say she doesn't think she "was doing very well" during the filming of "House of Gucci," and spoke about how "Chromatica" is "very literal" because it's all she had: "I didn't have a lot of the same type of poetry inside of me because I sort of lost it."
This concept is explored in the "Disease" music video, which she said "is so deliberately about somebody that wants to harm you – and it being you." After filming it, she said she went into a dark place that revealed to her that she was not done healing.
Thankfully, she now considers herself "a healthy, whole person," thanks in part to "MAYHEM": "One of the things I'm most grateful for is gaining all my artistic faculties back to make this record. I had to dig very, very deep, and I had to change a lot of my life and recenter around what I needed as a human being."
On being in love
Another factor in getting her back on track is her relationship with Michael Polansky, about whom she said, "Being in love with someone that cares about the real me made a very big difference."
It's Polansky who told her she needed to reclaim her music, and in the process, she asked him for his input. Polansky is credited as a co-writer on six "MAYHEM" songs, which surprised him because his contributions were not intentional. "It was very touching to me that she wanted to acknowledge me," he said.
Andrew Watt, a close collaborator through the "MAYHEM" sessions credited Polansky with being a crucial stabilizer in the recording process and said he has "that all-knowing Buddha-type energy."
In turns out she secretly had another business venture with Polansky as she co-founded and sits on the board of directors of Outer Biosciences, a skin-health research firm that Polansky said "was her idea." "When she talks about us being partners, it kind of looks like it all goes one direction, but she's the most incredible support to me as well," he said.
They plan to get married soon, and Gaga added that "being a mom is the thing [she wants] the most."
On the MAYHEM Ball
The narrative of MAYHEM Ball, Gaga's largest and longest tour in a decade, is a dream-logic version of parts of her real life. She broke it down and said the show starts with Mayhem, "the most egocentric side" of her, that announces she's the queen with a desire of torturing the younger version of herself "as a way of teaching her how to be great." The Mayhem character's plan doesn't go as planned, though.
"I decided I wanted to make it something that everybody could understand and love," she said, "and it didn't have to be the most dark thing that I'd ever created. Isn't that Mayhem talking? 'I have to be dark.' And, like, what is that in me that I have to be the toughest or the most edgy?"
While she still panics at the start of every show, but "the rehearsal of self" saves her and puts her back in the moment.

The video of them dancing together has since gone viral around the world, becoming one of the most touching moments in pop music history.
Watch his story below.
Atticus learned the choreography to "Scheiße," which he later performed with Gaga on stage, "in my room, in my underwear, watching YouTube videos" he told Spotify. He had originally planned to avoid any spoilers before attending the Born This Way Ball, but he wanted to teach the steps to one of his dance classes.
As the legend goes, he camped out for the show with friends and narrowly secured entry into the Monster Pit. It was there that he started doing the "Scheiße" choreography when he was spotted by Gaga.
Atticus "pushed through that crowd like a battering ram to the front of the stage," after hearing Gaga call him up. "Blackout is not the right word because I was so conscious."
"I don't feel like I had control over my body," he recounts, trusting his knowledge of the dance to carry him through the performance. The parts he wasn't sure of were the stage directions. Fortunately, the dancers graciously directed him on where to go.
"The next thing I knew, we were stopped at the front, and the lights were on us." That's when a fan threw a bouquet of flowers onstage. Atticus dropped to his knee and held them out to Gaga, who gave him a kiss.
After the song, "that's where the real magic happened." Atticus was pulled backstage and given the opportunity to hang out with Gaga's dancers (some of whom he's still in touch with today), and the superstar herself. "Oh my god, you are so fab," she told him, and signed his jacket.
That jacket, ironically, was one Atticus stole from "a girl from high school." It's safe to say he's not giving it back or giving it away—turning down offers up to $20k.
Even though Atticus has pursued his passion for photography over dance, he still cites the viral moment as a life-changing event. "She probably changed my life more than anything else ever has."

On Gaga's decision to return to her dance-pop roots on MAYHEM:
"She has done so many different types of music throughout her career. There's nothing she can't do. So when we went to make this album, I think we were touching on all of [the genres she’s covered]. As an artist, she's always learning, always evolving, always pushing herself. The work ethic is out of this world. And it just became apparent from the stuff that we started making that we were making a dance album. The music was calling us to that."
On what it's like to work in the studio with Gaga:
"She's there thinking about the entire world she's going to build when she does a song. There's layers to what she does. First, she has to figure out the notes and the lyrics and the vibe of what she's going to do and create that. That, for a lot of people, is where it ends. You write a song, you put your vocal on it. Boom, that's it. Not for Gaga. She then takes that song home, figures out which part of her is going to sing the narrative, how she has to sing it. Does she have to sing it harder? Does she have to sing it softer? How is she going to deliver the vocal? She learns every inflection of what she did and comes back [and] sings it for hours and hours until she finds the right character."
On watching Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars work together in the studio:
"Just sitting there and watching her and Bruno interact, it was like Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. Watching that interaction was so special. The competition between the two of them was so healthy and great. I will never forget them going back and forth while she was recording the vocal."
On his favorite song from MAYHEM:
"I really, really love that song “Perfect Celebrity.” I got to the studio five minutes before her. Whatever was in my head, I just started playing the synth, and the second it came out of the speakers, it was 10 seconds, 30 seconds of me playing before she had heard it, and already started writing. So it was one of those really fluid things. And the second she came up with that concept, I remember her saying, ‘Oh, this is the song that I always should have written.’ It felt instantly like a song that was already in her discography, even though it was a brand-new thing she was coming up with."
Lady Gaga praised Andrew for being "a uniquely gifted" producer and musician:
"Everything he does is rooted in a deep love for music and for the people who make it. You can feel how profoundly it’s shaped his life. He lives and breathes it in a way that’s rare even among artists. […] With Andrew, the process becomes limitless, his instinct, taste, and understanding of sonic history makes him one of the most dynamic collaborators in modern music."

On this stage of her career as a woman in music:
“At this stage in my life I don’t feel like a product anymore. I feel like ‘MAYHEM’ was me circling back to all of the music that I fell in love with: My production style, my song-writing, my love of dark poetry. And celebrating that it’s mine and that I’m making it for me. I can feel empowered as a woman in music with a beautiful that has my back everyday. Being empowered as a woman in music is something that took me nearly 20 years for me to experience. I feel so grateful to still be here.”

Lady Gaga teased lyrics to her upcoming song “Dead Dance” right as the event began:
“TOTAL MAYHEM in here, who is excited for THE DEAD DANCE.”
“You’ve created a creature of the night, now I’m haunting your air, your soul, your eyes.”
Lady Gaga answered questions about creating her albums ‘ARTPOP’ and ‘MAYHEM’:
“ARTPOP was new musical territory for me going full EDM so it was a major learning experience musically (which was fun but also hard). Figuring out how to fit live instruments in with the hard beats was interesting. I was not in a good place mentally when I made it though so it made finishing it a challenge.”
“MAYHEM was made the happiest I’ve ever been. That was hard because I decided to challenge myself musically with genres I know well. I sang my heart out and tried every production move to make it the best it could be. The songs are hard to sing; They’re all really high, I have to train like crazy for MAYHEM Ball.”
Lady Gaga added that ‘Born This Way’ is her favorite album she’s made:
“I sort of said Born This Way—I said that on stage last night. It was really inspired by my home NY—which is where I found my artistic community and made the friends that cheered me on when I became Lady Gaga. Plus the message is meaningful to me. Also WHO doesn’t need some NY electro-clash, techno rock in their life?”
Lady Gaga also took questions about her favorite outfits and fashion icons:
“It’s not just an outfit it’s my uniform. My pleaser black Monster Ball boots are SO special to me. I have performed for millions of monsters around the world in them. They have carried me far even when I felt like I couldn’t carry myself. I still have them! I wore them at Coachella!”
“I was inspired by rockstars my whole career—David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Blondie, Madonna, Prince, so so many. Grace Jones made me want to have as much fun as possible with fashion. Also I was just always inspired by designers and they became my friends so I just wanted to wear their clothes!! McQueen probably inspired my career the most.”
At the end of the event, users were able to collect special event badges and a spiked hat item.
