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.”
