Lady Gaga went to the same Catholic school as Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton

Lady Gaga was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in New York in 1986. She is of Italian and French-Canadian descent. The nuns' school she attended was the same one that Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton went to.

What else do we know about this fascinating artist?

Pianist from a young age

Lady Gaga has had an affinity for music since her early childhood. At the age of 4, she began to study the piano. She was good at it, even though she is left-handed. At the age of 13, the young star composed her first ballad. When she was in college, she halted her studies in order to devote herself fully to her passion: music.

Not the most popular girl in school

Her high school years weren't easy: she was called weird, eccentric, and too provocative. As a result, she grew up with a lack of self-confidence, as she would later confess. It caused her to develop an eating disorder.

Lady Gaga's debut in the club scene of New York

Lady Gaga's first public performance dates back to the summer of 2005 when he led the Stefani Germanotta Band with friends from college. The band livened up the Lower East Side in New York for about a year, until producer Rob Fusari noticed the singer's talent. It was at that point that Stefani became Lady Gaga, and Fusari would be her husband for a while.

Instruments and voice

Lady Gaga has not only won over the public with her voice and her show talent, but she has also impressively mastered several musical instruments. Since she was a kid, she made music on the piano, synthesizer, keytar, and guitar.

The musical influences of Lady Gaga

In the New York underground art scene, Lady Gaga met the DJ/singer/dancer Lady Starlight who had a great influence on her. Another important musical inspiration for her was the band Queen. For that reason, the star named herself Lady Gaga after the Queen song 'Radio Gaga.'

Lady Gaga and the new burlesque

Despite her Catholic education, Lady Gaga worked as a g0g0-dancer in several New York bars. Her father had trouble accepting that. The star later explained that she felt suffocated in Catholic school and that she found freedom and self-expression on the counters of bars.

Nightlife and drugs

The world of nightclubs, drugs, and the stage marked an important phase in the artist's life. But she always came out of it unscathed.

Lady Gaga in 'The Sopranos' in 2001

Lady Gaga has always been attracted to the world of acting. Before becoming a world-famous artist, she appeared in series like 'The Sopranos' with really small roles. In this guest performance, she is playing a student.

Lady Gaga in 'House of Gucci'

More recently, she played Signora Gucci in the film 'House of Gucci' (2021). Once again, the pop and film star pushed the boundaries of her talent, art, and looks.

Lady Gaga's lovers

Lady Gaga's love history includes (among others) Rob Fusari (her producer, to whom she dedicated 'Poker Face'); Luc Carl, a bar owner; and the actor Taylor Kinney whom she almost married. In the picture, we see her with one of her recent exes, Christian Carino.

Lady Gaga, her different looks

Cinema, television and music. From her first record 'The Fame' (2008) to 'Joanne' (2016), she has created a different world each time.

 

Super Bowl 2017

High in the sky and fearless: Lady Gaga gave a spectacular halftime show at the Super Bowl, one of the best viewed events in the world.

A Star is born (2018)

By 2018, it was clear that Lady Gaga would be one of the greatest stars of her generation. She made the blockbuster 'A Star is Born' and won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and two Grammys for the song 'Shallow.' It almost became the Grammy Song of the Year as well.

'Born This Way' - Lady Gaga as an LGBTQ activist

Since the beginning of her career, Lady Gaga has collaborated in campaigns against social and health issues like HIV and bullying. In addition, she has tirelessly given her support to the protection of immigrants and the LGBT community. Most famously, she created the 'Born This Way' Foundation.

Lady Gaga: the world watched her at the Biden and Harris inauguration

Another event in which Lady Gaga caught the eyes of the world was when she sang the national anthem at the official inauguration of the new U.S. president, Joe Biden, in January 2021. It was a big moment for her.

No ugly duckling, Lady Gaga is a global star

Lady Gaga continues to make movies and renew herself as a musical artist. What a long way from the time when she was considered the ugly duckling in high school, isn't it?
