Lady Gaga isn’t shy in talking about her occasionally bad romance with fame.
As the “Abracadabra” singer continues to roll out her Mayhem era, the name of her upcoming seventh album that’ll release in March, she’s reflecting on one of the pivotal moments in her career: how being away from the family she built in her native New York almost led her to retire from music.
“I missed the community that I had in New York and that was really hard,” Gaga told host Sean Evans during her Feb. 13 appearance on Hot Ones. “There were definitely times where I felt like maybe I should walk away but I know for sure that I never would.”
Although that obstacle briefly “tested” her loyalty to being an artist, she noted she could never “give up” her dream. “I’m still doing it,” she continued, “so it must mean I want to do it.”
