Pop Icon Opens Up About Struggles That Made Her Question Her Career
Lady Gaga has admitted that she once considered quitting music, revealing that she was “tested” multiple times throughout her career.
During her much-anticipated appearance on Hot Ones, the Born This Way hitmaker candidly addressed speculation about her possible exit from the music industry.
"That is an incredibly deep question to ask me in this panic mode," Gaga responded.
Reflecting on her early days and the pressures of fame, she continued:
"I missed the community that I had in New York, and that was really hard. There were definitely times where I felt like maybe I should walk away. But I know for sure that I never would. I was tested, but I didn’t give up. And I’m still doing it, so it must mean I want to do it.”
The Grammy-winning artist also shared how she once took charge of her own bookings, pretending to be her own manager to land gigs.
"I would knock on door after door and say, ‘Can I please play here?’ Or I would call and pretend I was my manager. I would tell people, ‘She’s so hot right now.’ Sometimes I would even do an accent. I would do anything to get booked."
Now, with her seventh studio album Mayhem set for release on March 7, Gaga is making a powerful return to her pop roots, proving that her passion for music remains stronger than ever.
