Lady Gaga used to stay holed up at home: "It made me mad"

Despite the constant media attention that surrounds  Lady Gaga  lived a very withdrawn life at some point ... literally.

Yes, the public is accustomed to see Mama Monster (and all its bizarre outfits) output around the world, but it has not always been the case. Moreover, for a moment, it was just the opposite.

In an interview with The Guardian before it happens on the stage of iTunes Festival, Gaga revealed that in 2008, when she started to become famous, she was hiding in her, but not for the reasons that one can imagine.

No, it was not because of the paparazzi or fear, it was to preserve its image.

"I terrais at me," she explains, "I often hid ... to preserve the image of superstar in the eyes of my fans. I do not mean I'm a superstar, but it had to is perfection. And it made me really mad. So I really had to make an effort to force me out. Can you imagine what it's like not to feel the wind? Frankly, I did not feel the wind for years! "

Then the pop star was sacrificed, she was hiding because she wanted her fans do see that when she was Gaga, not Stefani Germanotta . And when she says she never went out, this is no exaggeration.

I stayed at home all day, I took the car through the garage to go to another garage and go to my rehearsals and then I started again, from country to country, never walk out. Longest I was way off, it was when I had to walk from the car to the plane on the tarmac, "said the singer.

Today, Lady Gaga is a little more comfortable with the image it gives when she goes out in public, although usually she wears pretty incredible outfits. However, she began to let her fans see her true personality, not his stage persona. This is also reflected in his songs.

"I really tried to hide the pain I felt in my past recent years," she said, before talking about his next album.

"For ARTPOP the most eloquent metaphor is that I stood in front of a mirror, I pulled my wig, my makeup, I undid my clothes, I have half a black cap on my head and a black suit, I looked in the mirror and I said. "OK, now you're going to show them that you can be brilliant without all that" And that's what speaksARTPOP Because I knew that. if I wanted to mature, if I really wanted to innovate the inside, I had to do something that seemed almost impossible.
