I’ve seen Lady Gaga perform jazz, Broadway tunes, pop, dance, soul, rock, country, alternative, latin music, etc with or without her piano, with or without dancers, with or without big production and eat everytime. At what point do we recognize her for the entertainer she is?
No disrespect to anyone but it’s crazy that Lady Gaga is arguably the greatest artist of her generation and still has never won a Album/Record/Song of the Year at the Grammys
"Trust, the reason those folks don’t see certain things about me is because my Virgo ass does not want them to see it....It’s not because it doesn’t exist!." —Beyonce in 2021 spoke about how she processes the changing world of celebrity culture and protects her inner self
"Throughout my career, I’ve been intentional about setting boundaries between my stage persona and my personal life. My family and friends often forget the side of me that is the beast in stilettos until they are watching me perform. It can be easy to lose yourself very quickly in this industry. It takes your spirit and light, then spits you out. I’ve seen it countless times, not only with celebrities but also producers, directors, executives, etc. It’s not for everyone. Before I started, I decided that I’d only pursue this career if my self-worth was dependent on more than celebrity success. I’ve surrounded myself with honest people who I admire, who have their own lives and dreams and are not dependent on me. People I can grow and learn from and vice versa. In this business, so much of your life does not belong to you unless you fight for it. I’ve fought to protect my sanity and my privacy because the quality of my life depended on it. A lot of who I am is reserved for the people I love and trust. Those who don’t know me and have never met me might interpret that as being closed off. Trust, the reason those folks don’t see certain things about me is because my Virgo ass does not want them to see it....It’s not because it doesn’t exist!"
