Lady Gaga Covers Rolling Stone
Fully immersed in promotional efforts, Lady Gaga landed herself the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
Set to hits newsstands on Friday, May 27th, the "Just Dance" hitmaker chatted with the publication about topics such as her little monsters and fame while also addressing her critics.
As for her loyal fans - who she calls her little monsters, Gaga told, “We have this umbilical cord that I don’t want to cut, ever. I don’t feel that they suck me dry. It would be so mean, wouldn’t it, to say, ‘For the next month, I’m going to cut myself off from my fans so I can be a person.’ What does that mean? They are part of my person, they are so much of my person. They’re at least 50 percent, if not more.”
Then talking about rising to stardom, the 25-year-old said, "Being myself in public was very difficult. I was being poked and probed and people would actually touch me and touch my clothes and be like, ‘What the f— is that,’ just so awful. It was like I was being bullied by music lovers, because they couldn’t possibly believe that I was genuine.”
To those who dare call her an attention monger, Gaga responded by telling, “Is it that you believe that I am attention-seeking or shock for shock’s sake, or is it just that it’s been a long time since someone has embraced the art form the way that I have? Perhaps it’s been a couple of decades since there’s been an artist that’s been as vocal about culture, religion, human rights, politics. I’m so passionate about what I do, every bass line, every EQ. Why is it that you don’t want more from the artist, why is it that you expect so little, so when I give and give, you assume it’s narcissistic?”
