Happy 32nd Birthday, Lady Gaga! (Show her your fave memories here!)

[ChicaSkas 21,436]

What are your favorite Gaga memories? Whether you've been here since Joannticipation or you're a hardcore from the SGB days, post your memories here.

I'll kick it off:

My favorite memories include: listening to Just Dance for the first time on Q104.7 (an all men-dominated hiphop station) back in 2008, wearing the ArtRave skirt in Los Angeles in 2014, meeting and interviewing Tony Bennett, and of course, being front row at the Dive Bar Tour in 2016.

- the hype for her music videos back in the day  

- hearing Born This Way for the first time  

- waking up to the weekly BTW promo singles countdown, Farmville and streaming the whole album on metro.co.uk

- the BTW era gagavisions

My stan card (2013 - present)  Up until that point I was a bigger fan of Katy but I don't wanna talk about my dark past. Here we go... 

Being obsessed with SwineFest and the songs esp. Manicure and Swine  

Discovering Bloody Mary and being spooked by all those "hidden messages" videos 

Artpop cover reveal. Ugh it's still so gorgeous

Listening to mostly Gypsy (and Dope) all the time in 2014. Then I got obsessed with Bad Kids (lol) and Judas

Last ArtRave show (had me crying) 

AHS

Superbowl / Grammys / Oscar month

The terrible summer of '16 (Joining GGD helped me through the drought) 

Perfect Slaylusion (I still haven't listened to a song more times in a single day) 

Joanne snippets leaving me bald

Dive Bar Tour stream

Ditching school so I could witness the Joanne leak

Superbowl,  Coachella, JWT

Five Foot Two

[Ashley 7,986]

Wow, I can’t believe you were front row at the Dive Bar! That must’ve been so amazing. It’s my dream to see her in an intimate setting like that.

Some of my favorite memories are seeing her live at the Monster Ball and JWT.

Watching her dedicate Million Reasons and Grigio Girls to Sonja at the JWT.

Going to buy all her albums in person on the day they were released.

Superbowl and Five Foot Two.

Finally becoming a fan in the summer of 2015 after hearing DWUW acoustic on Alan Carr Chattyman on Youtube.

[Doot 2]

-Hearing Poker Face for the first time and being like “Issa bop” 

-waking up at like 8am to watch the Bad Romance video and having my skin ripped from my flesh due to the sheer force of amazingness emitting from my computer screen 

-Traveling to New York City just to visit her Barney’s Workshop event 

-Drunkenly crying when she emerged from the vessel on stage at the Grammys  

-watching so you think you can dance for the premiere of the Edge Of Glory video and becoming full of confusion/rage when I got halfway through the video and didn’t see any dancing 

-organizing the Marry the Night download day and having Gaga tweet about it, then printing out the tweet to have it framed 

-Gaga stopping the artrave to talk to me and make me take of my shirt

Of course she tricked me, she tricks all of us but I have not been the same since I saw this. My heart doesn't belong to me entirely anymore. I'm in love with that woman

This website is the best memory.  I dont have any friends who like Gaga so getting to freak out and nerd out about Gaga with other people has been amazing. Also going to the Monster Ball with my Girlfriend (now wife).

[Original Diva 4,919]

My favorite memories? Crying to the Joanne piano version after hearing it for the first time, buying Born this way the day it came out,  watching the Sydney Monster Hall live show on tv when i was only 8.. that was a truly special memory for me.
