Lady Gaga wore her heart on her sleeve on Sunday in an interview on US TV in which she touched on the subject of love following her break-up with actor Taylor Kinney after being together for five years.
Without mentioning Kinney by name, Lady Gaga made these revealing comments about her thoughts on love: "I think women love very hard. We love men. We just love with everything we have.
"And sometimes I don't know that that love is met with the type of dignity that we wish it would be met with. You know, we're not trying to make you less of a man. We just want you to love us as deeply and as wholesomely and as fully as we love you."
Speaking with CBS’s journalist Lee Cowan, Lady Gaga also opened up about how she misses being able to walk down the street like a normal person and revealed why she was so nervous about how her fans would react to her new album released back in October.
She spoke about the strain of being constantly in the public eye, saying: "I miss people. I miss, you know, going anywhere and meeting a random person and saying, 'Hi,' and having a conversation about life. I love people."
She also stated, "I'm very acutely aware that once I cross that property line, I'm not free anymore. As soon as I go out into the world, I belong, in a way, to everyone else. It's legal to follow me.
"It’s legal to stalk me at the beach. And I can't call the police or ask them to leave. And I took a long, hard look at that property line, and I said, 'Well, if I can't be free out there, I can be free in here."
She also confessed to being nervous about how fans would react to the stylistic changes on her latest album, ‘Joanne’, which she described as more of an introspective work from her usual trademark dance-pop numbers.
"I think it is hard for them (my fans) at times to, you know, change from album to album, 'cause I go through quite a transformation. And that's just the way I am as an artist. You know, they have to kind of let go of the last era of music."
