marry the night... I was a freshman in high school, and the day BTW came out I pressed play on the album during my lunch period. I remember having goosebumps and thinking "I can do anything". At the time I had been outed by a fellow classmate and sort of re-entered the closet because I wasn't fully ready for everyone to know I was gay. to this day, that song gives me such renewed power and resilience...

also, rain on me came out hours after I was dumped during the pandemic... dancing around in my apartment and spamming the group text with my friends when the song came out healed me so fast hahaha

I remember being closeted in a wrestling fraternity in college and showed my straight roommate the Bad Romance video and he said it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen and was externally trying to play it cool but internally I was freaking out so happy, like we made it, reaching the straights 

I came out to my parents and then drove back home blasting Born This Way. I'll never forget it and will always be indebted to Gaga for her bravery and passion to be unique and fully authentic, always 

Perfect Ilusion played during a particularly difficult time for me and the lyrics making metaphors of substances/the high of a relationship that was toxic reflected my life at the time, realizing later this person was not for me. It sounds parasocial but so many of the lyrics at the time hit home so hard 

Applause was released around the time that I met my current partner/now husband. He liked Gaga but after this song came out he came to love her especially after we went to ArtRave together. He loved the song so much he put "I live for the applause" in his work email signature 

I proposed to my now husband and later got married to Always Remember Us This Way. We were in Maui and it was sunset and absolutely beautiful when I got down on one knee. "When the sun goes down, and the band won't play...I'll always remember us this way" is the perfect lyric. It later played as we walked down the aisle together during our wedding, and now we have a blanket with this lyric on our bed where the magic happens

The Joanne album bc she’s just a girl with a complicated relationship with her father partly due probably to unresolved trauma on her dads behalf, and his not understanding her, and her middle name belongs to her passed aunt. 
 

I also have a complicated relationship with my dad who has unresolved trauma, does not understand me and my middle name belongs to my dads passed brother.

Hair - Coming out as gay.

Aura (demo) - Leaked as I had my first bipolar hypomanic episode. Truly transcendent experience. I was on vacation at the time, felt better than any drug.

Perfect Illusion - Explains itself.

911 - Around the time I was actually diagnosed with bipolar and prescribed olanzapine (the drug the song is about).

Vanish Into You - I finally met my friend who I'd known for 15 years at the MAYHEM ball. I love her to pieces. I had a lot of social anxiety for a long time, lots of missed opportunities. Anyway, it's her favourite song and I love the song. We both cried as she sang it lol.
