Written by djfrosty on September 5, 2024
Lady Gaga has nothing but applause for her fellow ladies in pop, from Taylor Swift to Kesha, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Billie Eilish.
In her Vogue cover story published Thursday (Sept. 5), the 38-year-old superstar got emotional while talking about all five of the aforementioned female singer-songwriters. “I mean, I really love them,” she told the publication, her eyes welling up with tears. “I go on the internet and, like, cry. And I love Taylor Swift too. And Kesha. I watch it all, and I’m like: Yup. Go! Just Go.”
“I’m not only cheering them on, I want them to know that my heart is in it with them,” she added. “And I want them all to feel really happy.”
The interview arrives as Gaga is busy promoting Joker: Folie à Deux at the Venice International Film Festival. While there, she gave Roan an extra shout-out, telling a fan that she’s a “huge” fan of the “Hot to Go!” singer while signing autographs.

The Oscar winner is also preparing to release her seventh studio album, which she confirmed to Vogue is arriving in February. She also said = her fiancé Michael Polansky was the one to encourage her to reconnect with her pop roots on the project, as well as confirmed that she and the entrepreneur got engaged in April after a day of rock climbing.
“My mom met him [first] and she said to me, ‘I think I just met your husband,’” Gaga recalled. “And I said, ‘I’m not ready to meet my husband!’ I could never have imagined that my mom … found the most perfect person for me?”
In 2019, the “Rain on Me” singer finally met Polansky at Sean Parker’s birthday party, where they talked for three hours. “I didn’t know much about her and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect,” Polanksy reminisced. “I was struck immediately by her warmth and openness — she was so genuinely curious about what my life was like growing up in Minnesota.”
