i apologize if we knew this existed already, but i’m a massive fan of both and this is my first time seeing this! i only knew of his response to her that she had framed in her home. 

this is currently on display in the newly opened David Bowie archive by Victoria and Albert Museum in London. 

the best i could find is a TikTok screenshot so i apologize again. i will copy her message below the screenshot.

Dear David Bowie,

It was truly an honor to receive an advanced copy of your album. I cried, in fact, listening to each song. How does he know I exist?

I feel as though my entire career has been an artistic plea for you to notice me. I’m finishing my album ARTPOP and am in New York. 

I would be so grateful and honored to meet you. 

Love + art, Gaga

David must have sent Gaga an advanced copy of his album The Next Day which released in March 2013.

I wish she tried to work with him or something :traumatica: would have been amazing to have them on a track or colaborative thing like she did with Tony

This is lovely. Even moreso assuming that this was one of Bowie's own contributions to the archive, rather than one made by his son.

I thought someone quoted something he said negatively about her once, kind of reminded me of how Grace Jones was unimpressed when she met her

Whoa I never knew he send her an advanced copy of TND, I'm gonna asume he liked her enough to do that, 'cause I don’t see the David ****ing Bowie sending his long awaited and secret album to someone he didn’t like. I’m glad she got to have this exchange with one of her biggest idols. 
And Duncan can choke :vegas: 

Its not a fedora u f*ck

this is so true. he pretty much withdrew from the public after a health scare in 2004 and most people assumed he retired from his music career. he even declined an invitation for a comeback performance at the Summer Olympics in 2012 so the entire existence of the album was top secret. what a huge gift he gave Gaga - i wish they met but this still was very special

people love to give them **** for this but it was like a week after and they weren't even consulted for it. like yeah id be pissed too if my dad who was way more than schlocky sponsored vegas performance was reduced to that barely a week after passing by someone he didn't especially care for when he made it CLEAR who of the new gen whose artistry he *did really appreciate which was Lorde. and when she did the tribute the family loved it. they shouldn't have done that performance, period. it was too fast a turnaround and it was frankly beyond tacky and distasteful to have it be a commercial for intel tech.
