November 13, 2025Nov 13 There is SO MUCH she has shared in her interview for the magazine that shed light on her past eras. I will try to gather what I can and share here.
November 13, 2025Nov 13 On Mayhem “Reconnecting with Brian for this interview after all these years felt kind of monumental. In a way I feel like I relived with him so much of what I relived writing and producing this album. All its sonic hard edges and plight lifted by pop melodies and poetry to find the joy in it all. This album was me figuring out how to breathe during a storm—really you just keep inhaling all wind while you pray the storm will stop. MAYHEM is my personal chaos—born of intuition and sometimes clear and other times utterly broken but always produced with a desire to embolden my own voice as a musician. I’ve spoken a lot about MAYHEM being a collection of gothic dreams and in a way Lady Gaga was my first one. She has always been an expression of my human reality. What does it sound like to feel like you’re drifting far away from yourself, what does it sound like to re-enter your body? What if you just want to Vanish into someone else to heal it all and maybe never come back? What if I don’t want to define myself? What if I tried to?"On HarlequinAnd Harlequin… It feels like much more than a year ago. It’s an album about empowerment and refusing to be minimized or left out in the cold. These arrangements are my first new steps since Tony died. I’m so proud of Harlequin and how it prepared me for the most incredible year of MAYHEM. Sometimes I forget this has been just one single year. Somehow through my relationship and my deep love for my fans I really accepted that I can do it all as long as I am the one who is creating the storm instead of the one just standing in the center of it. So instead of being haunted by the birds I will become one of them. And I’ll be fine. Because it’s my dream and no one else’s. I’ll decide for myself how this ends.”On Chromatica“I was as great as I could be for someone that smoked weed all day, knocked back a couple bottles of wine, and passed out.”“Chromatica was very literal because that’s all I had, I didn’t have a lot of the same type of poetry inside of me because I sort of lost it. And I actually think that was true for Joanne as well. But it’s almost like if someone were to say, ‘How do you feel?’ and you refuse to give an artistic response, you just go, ‘I feel like shit.’ … The spirit of Chromatica was to be hopeful when you’re not.”On A Star is Born“There was one day that my sister said to me, ‘I don’t see my sister anymore.’ And I canceled the tour. There was one day I went to the hospital for psychiatric care. 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. I know that might sound dramatic, but we know how this can go.”On Joker 2's reaction“I wasn’t, like, unfazed. It’s funny, I’m almost nervous to share my reaction. But the truth is, when it first started happening, I started laughing. Because it was just getting so unhinged. When it takes a while for something to dissipate, that can be a little more painful. Only because I put a lot of myself into it.”
November 13, 2025Nov 13 Need to read the interview in full!!! (It’s not available to buy in the UK Till January right?BUT Those images and the little bits I’ve seen so far look like one of her best magazine shoots to date. The photoshoot is gorgeous and I sort of wanna make a calendar from it?! It’s so good like thats album photoshoot worthy so god knows what else she may have in store of us?!I always feel a bit emotional when I hear her talk about how she felt making ARTPOP, JoanneAnd Chromatica. Like we’ve stanned her and she’s felt a certain kind of way for a long portion of her career so to see her thrive the way she is now is so fulfilling.
November 14, 2025Nov 14 Very sad to read how she was in such a bad place when recording Chromatica. Like, we knew that because the pain is in there on the album but still she managed to deliver a great era during the pandemic. It turned out ok in the end, considering she and Michael had more time to get to know each other during Chromatica era.Also yass at that Harlequin bit! Let's have a jazz duet with RAYE next!
