Vogue Interviews Lady Gaga about 'MAYHEM' and Her Artistry

Lady Gaga spoke to Vogue about her artistry and her brand new album "MAYHEM."

Gaga talked about different feelings behind the songs on "MAYHEM":

"I allowed myself to be lots of contradictory things, and I think that’s real. 'Blade of Grass,' in a way, has a lot of insecurity in it, and 'Killah' has none. But I’m definitely the same person and I definitely have both of those feelings."

Speaking about the meta element in "Perfect Celebrity," she added:

"It’s an angry song; I’m angry at myself. It felt like a song that had been inside of me for 15 years that I needed to get out. I’m still nervous for people to hear it. ... Because my life changed so much when I was in my early 20s, it took some of the realness of life away from me, and that really changed my songwriting. Now, as I’ve gotten older, I value my artistry before fame. Having an amazing relationship now—closer friendships, more time with family, and a more grounded life—has helped my writing and helped me think about fame in a different way. But [“Perfect Celebrity”] still came out in the way that it did, and I didn’t want to change it too much. I felt myself judging myself while I was writing, but then I was like, nope—just be honest! Because I really wanted Mayhem to be honest in all of its craziness."

Speaking about her Coachella comeback, she teased:

“I’m going to give it everything I’ve got.”
