Lady Gaga‘s latest album Joanne, which she’s currently touring around the world, marked a bit of a departure for her, musically. Maybe that’s because, as Gaga explains in a new interview, she wrote the album to appeal to one specific person.
“I keep seeing this girl. It’s in a dream,” the star tells V magazine in a new cover story. “In the dream, I’m playing…outdoors, and beyond the seats, there’s a field in back — it’s the cheap tickets. That’s where the girl is sitting.”
Gaga continues, “[She’s] dressed in a Hanes sweatshirt, wearing her mom’s rolled-up jeans. She has three babies, two are running around her. There’s a cigarette in her hand, a glass of Pinot Grigio. She’s got on a lot of jewelry, mostly fake, but she also has on one heirloom piece.”
“This girl is singing every word,” Gaga adds. “And she thinks, ‘How is it possible that Lady Gaga understands how I feel?’ That girl — it’s me. She’s the one I’m writing to.”
The star also explains that she wanted to “bring all parts of the country together” through the songs on Joanne.
The issue of V with Gaga on the cover arrives on newsstands on August 31. The cover image shows the singer flashing some major underboob.
