In 2019, singer and actress Lady Gaga became the first person in history to win a Grammy, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Oscar in one year.

Axar.az reports that she has even been placed the Guinness World Records several times, and thanks to her unusual appearance, she has a lot of different nicknames (Mother Monster, Little Mermaid, etc.). And few people actually know that behind her amazing career and provocative image, there was also an internal fight of being a regular person — a real person, just like anyone else.

We followed the evolution of the singer’s style and became very interested in the story behind it. Maybe you will find her story similar to yours. But at the very least, you will definitely learn a lot of new facts about this unusual singer’s personality.

Before 2006, Lady Gaga was known as Stefani Germanotta. Once she became really famous, she had an interview with a famous newspaper and explained that she was humiliated when she was a child. For example, she clearly remembers the day when her classmates literally threw her in a dumpster.

When Lady Gaga was in college, her “fans” made a community on a social media outlet that was called “Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous.” And now, if you look back at her life, it becomes clear that there are true emotions behind her very provocative image.

In 2006, the singer chose the stage name, Lady Gaga. It was inspired by Rob Fusari and the Queen music video for Radio Ga Ga. Lady Gaga sang in clubs and festivals. She also worked as a songwriter for many popular singers.

Back at the time, the stages she performed on were not very sophisticatedly designed, but they were pretty revealing which meant that she was very open and wanted to be different from other singers.

In 2008, her first album, The Fame was released and it made her famous instantly. The songs “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” were the most popular songs during that time. That same year, Lady Gaga started her first big tour.

The singer’s tunes were also very catchy because of her original fashion style. She wore a lot of makeup, long white hair, fake eyelashes, bright accessories, a wide array of colors, and unusual clothes that were talked about by everyone. There were a lot of videos and manuals that emerged on the internet explaining how to recreate the singer’s hairstyles.

During her 12-year-long career, Lady Gaga has finally arrived at a place where she doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. At this moment, she is a strong and successful woman who will not stop at what she has achieved. And the evolution of her image actually shows the internal fight a person can have with their own fears and emotions. In this situation, she won this fight.
