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?
And 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.

I’m the Garden of Eden (and its gardener). Happy Halloween to all the grave diggers. 🖤 love, Mother Monster

Happy Birthday to my honey. I hope 42 is your best year yet, you have done so much in your 42 years I am so proud of you every day---and so grateful for this day you came into the world, it was the most special day. This is my favorite day of the year! A crisp and almost rainy day, a long walk, with the backdrop of a sweet birthday smile and lots of laughter and angel food cake with chocolate sauce. Even this goat knows what a happy day your birthday is to me😊 I love you 💋
