The show's second episode, titled "Chutes and Ladders," airs next Wednesday.

Lady Gaga teared up as she explained the meaning behind "Grigio Girls," a track on the deluxe version of her new album Joanne. The song, written in collaboration with country songwriter Hillary Lindsey, is about Sonja Dunham, Gaga's longtime friend and creative director at the Haus of Gaga, who is fighting stage four cancer.

"One of my best friends, Sonja, who has been with me since I was twenty-three years old, she has metastasized cancer in her lungs and in her brain," Gaga told Radio.com. "It's stage four. And it's really hard: it's hard to watch, it's hard to witness, it's hard to know what to say. But I love her so much, and it's so important that we continue to do research to find a cure."

She continued: "I wrote a song about her on the album, and it's about how me and all of our girlfriends would get together and cry without her when she's not around. Because we love her so much and we just want to be strong with her. The lyric is, 'Sisters never pack up, we always run back, love/Seven years ago I said you'd make it Sonja, was Joanne's friend, tough girl's on the mend, so when I'm feeling small, I toss that cork, and call.'"

Gaga added that the song is about "womanhood and sticking together and encouraging one another and teaching each other that it's ok to cry together."

Her advice to anyone battling cancer is to use Sonja's fight as an inspiration.

"I have watched her fight every day, trying to laugh, and go every moment with the biggest smile on her face of hope and faith for the future," she said. "Putting all of your mind, and body, and soul, into a place where you can envision your health and envision as you get stronger that you're killing the cancer with your own power and your own sense of immunity. And just know that you're so not by yourself and there are so many people that love you and I feel connected to you, even though I don't know you, because I know her. I'll be thinking about you."

The video is part of CBS Radio's web series, "Survivor Stories," where breast cancer survivors, or their friends and family members, talk about their battle. Head over to Radio.com to watch more videos.

Lady Gaga - "Perfect Illusion" lyrics

There wasn't a dry eye in the Dolby Theatre during Sunday's Academy Awards after Lady Gaga delivered a powerful performance of "Til It Happens to You." Gaga took the stage alongside tens of survivors of sexual abuse to sing the Oscar-nominated song, which she co-wrote for The Hunting Ground, a documentary exploring campus sexual assault. The poignant performance received a standing ovation, and brought audience members to tears.

Gaga was introduced by American vice president Joe Biden, who urged the audience and everyone watching at home to take a pledge to speak up for victims of sexual assault. "Too many women and men on and off of college campuses are still victims of abuse," he said. "Take the pledge: I will intervene in situations where consent has not or cannot be given. We must, and we can, change the culture."

There is no episode next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. American Horror Story: Hotel returns on December 2nd with episode 8 called "The Ten Commandments Killer."

Update: The dress rehearsal for the performance has been uploaded to Lady Gaga's official VEVO channel! Watch below...

Earlier: Lady Gaga has delivered another spectacular Grammy performance. Hot on the heels of her incredible Super Bowl Halftime show, Gaga joined rock legends Metallica at this year's Grammy Awards for a fiery duet on "Moth Into Flame," a single from their latest album.

"You know how the Grammys like to have their duets thing and when it was suggested that Lady Gaga do it we thought, 'That's interesting,'" Metallica's guitarist Kirk Hammett said during the rehearsals. "And when she came down to actually work with the song, it turned out really, really, really well. She was really open and willing to work with different arrangements and see what worked well over the course of the song. She was really great to work with.

Bassist Robert Trujillo added: "She's got a lot of edge and attitude which is important for what we do. And she actually came to see us play. We did a small show at the Henry Fonda theatre and she saw the whole show, stayed for it. She really enjoyed it, just rocking out. And somehow magically this all started to happen."

The wait is over! Warner Bros. have released the first official trailer for Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s upcoming movie A Star Is Born.

The movie, which marks Cooper's directorial and Gaga's big screen debut, is based on William Wellman's 1937 film of the same name starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. In the updated version, Gaga plays an aspiring singer Ally, who is finding success with the help of Cooper's character Jackson Maine.

"Gaga's a revelation in this movie," Cooper told the press at CinemaCon last month. "When I approached her for it, she said, 'Well, we're going to sing live.' And I was like, 'Well, you’ll sing live because I don’t sing.' And she said, 'No, no. What I can't stand in the movies is when you see that it's playback and they’re lip-syncing to it. No, we’re going to sing live.' And deep down, I sort of knew we were going to have to do that, and luckily, I had time and I had wonderful support."

In addition to starring in A Star Is Born, Lady Gaga also wrote and performed original music for the film’s soundtrack. One of the songs was co-written with the legendary Diane Warren, who is responsible for such classics as responsible for such iconic hits as Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me," Toni Braxton's "Un-break My Heart," Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time," as well as Gaga’s own “Til It Happens To You.”

A Star Is Born is due out in theatres on October 5th, 2018.

The sixth episode of American Horror Story: Hotel starring Lady Gaga aired on FX on Wednesday night!

Gaga's already critically-acclaimed performance, likely to be remembered as one of the best at the Super Bowl, took fans through her five iconic pop eras. Opening with a beautiful rendition of  the classic "This Land Is Your Land," Mother Monster danced and belted her way through a dizzying amount of her own hits including "Bad Romance, "Just Dance," "Poker Face" and her latest single "Million Reasons."

Lady Gaga might be asking fans to call her Joanne now, but she was at her most Gaga during the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion show in Paris on Wednesday. Not only did Gaga take the stage to perform songs from her new album, including "A-YO," "Million Reasons" and the fan favorite "John Wayne," she also took over the runway alongside the models... and totally killed it!

Lady Gaga, an avid supporter of Hillary Clinton, was photographed outside New York City's Trump Tower protesting Donald Trump's stunning upset victory for the U.S. presidency. Upon hearing the news, the singer got out of her car and stuck a "Love Trumps Hate" sign on the side of a sanitation truck in protest of the Republican business mogul.

"I want to live in a Country of Kindness," she told fans. "He divided us so carelessly. Let's take care now of each other."

Lady Gaga made headlines last week when she voiced her opinion of Trump on a Japanese talk show. "Our Republican candidate has done, unfortunately, a good job of dividing the country in order to promote his campaign," she said. "And what needs to be done now is that we need to come together with compassion, and love, and dignity as a country and restore democracy and everything that our country is about which is welcoming people and taking care of them, giving them an opportunity."

The wait is finally over! Lady Gaga has officially released her new single "Til It Happens To You" which serves as the theme song for the documentary about campus rape called The Hunting Ground.

Lady Gaga took the stage in front of Los Angeles' City Hall to honor those lost in the Orlando mass shootings at Pulse nightclub on Saturday night. Dressed down in all black, Gaga gave an emotional speech calling the shooting "an attack on humanity itself" before she read the names of those lost.

"I know that you have all been feeling a tremendous range of emotions, since we’ve all heard about this horrible hateful attack on Orlando and on your and our community," Gaga said. "As we have now witnessed the largest mass shooting in American history, I can't help but feel that this level of hatred, like all prejudicial crimes, this is an attack on humanity itself. This is an attack on everyone. Tonight, I gather humbly with you, as a human being, in peace, in sincerity, in commitment, in solidarity, to take a real moment and mourn the tragic loss of these innocent, beautiful people."

She continued: "Let's all today pledge an allegiance of love to them and their families who are suffering so deeply. They are sons and daughters, they're fathers and mothers, they are all our brothers and our sisters. But tonight I will not allow my anger and outrage over this attack to overshadow our need to honor those who are grieving truly for their lost ones, lost members of the LGBT community."

"I hope you know that myself and so many are your allies," Gaga added. "Not only me but everyone here, we represent the compassion and loyalty of millions of people around the world who believe in you. You are not alone."

The Los Angeles vigil was one of the many events held to remember the victims of Sunday's attack at Pulse night club where a gunman killed 49 and wounded 53 more in the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.

Lady Gaga stopped by Yale University's campus on Saturday for the Emotion Revolution Summit, organized by the Born This Way Foundation in collaboration with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. The event aims to "ignite important conversations about making schools a place where all students can thrive."

Check out highlights from the conversation or watch it below (Gaga's part starts at 59:00)...

On what made her start the Born This Way foundation:
I started writing Born This Way and the experience was extremely therapeutic for me to reveal to myself things that I didn't always want to admit. I think a lot of what we're doing here today and what I'm hoping that you all take away from this today is that you should not need feel like a victim in this situation. In fact, nobody can help you more than you can help yourself. And when I was writing Born This Way I was asking myself how I really felt, and what I discovered that there was a lot of repressed anger, and rage, and sadness that I had not dealt with for years. I looked out into the sea of my amazing fans every night and I saw tiny mirrors in a disco ball reflecting back at me. I saw lots of different versions of myself. And the truth is that we share in our stress, we share in our anxiety, and we're here today because it is the parts of our brain that handle stress, that also handle our physical pain, our emotional pain, it comes from the same place. We want to put it out there that there is a strategy for everyone to feel better. But how can we stop telling kids how to do things, and what they should do and start listening to what it is that we can do for you.

On what Emotion Revolution is about:
What I wanna know is, how can we impress to people that this really isn't as complicated as they think it is? I know that we're not holding sick children  and saying "Your check goes here." What we're saying is that this is an important issue, emotional intelligence affects your future, and your opportunities, and your ability to live a happy life. It affected my ability to live a happy life, it still does. And these kids that are doing it best, they are the ones that are inhaling this philosophy with all of them. It's not just about being nice one day. This is about every day of your life as a student and as a teacher revealing yourself, revealing your emotions to you and to the people around you that you're actually listening when they're talking. 

On the importance of being able to say 'no':
I have some sort of anxiety, depression, something... that's changed my whole live. I take an antidepressant medication for it. I have tried to get off of it, my doctor always tells me not to. That it's not safe for me to, whenever I've tried to I've gotten very neurotic, manic, sick. So, I have had to study all different types of ways. I started looking into ayurvedic medicine, I started looking into mindfulness and meditation, I started looking into a mantra, I do acupuncture, I do cupping, I pray sometimes, I make music, I write poetry, I'm an actress now (that's helped me a lot!). These are the things I started to do but what helped me the most that I want to impress upon all of you is that realized that part of my identity is saying 'no' to things I don't want to do. And you're all in school and you all a lot of teach and a lot of people around you that tell you all day that you have to do but it is your right to choose what  you do and don't do. It's your right to choose what you believe in and don't believe in. It's your right to curate your life and your own life and your own perspective.

I have had to make decisions like, "Why am I unhappy? Okay, Stefani, Gaga, Hybrid person, why are you unhappy? Why is it that you want to quit music?" Well, I really don't like selling these fragrances, perfumes. I don't like wasting my time spending days just shaking people's hands and smiling, taking selfies. It feels shallow to my existence. I hae a lot more to offer than my image. I don't like being used to make people money. I feel sad when I'm overworked and that I've just become a moneymaking machine and that my passion and my creativity take a back seat. That makes me unhappy. So what did I do? I started to say 'no.' I'm not doing that. I don't wanna do that. I'm not taking that picture. I'm not going to that event. I'm not standing by that, because that's not what I stand for. And slowly but surely I remembered who I am. And then you go home, and you look in the mirror and you're like, 'Yes! I can go to bed with you every night, because I know that person.' That person has balls, that person has integrity, that person has an opinion. That person doesn't get a text from somebody and say 'Oh my god, they wrote this, and they sent this emoji, should I write this back, what do you think, is that okay?' This is the age that we live in. We're not actually communicating with each other, we're unconsciously communicating lies.

On the power of words on the Internet: 
What if we told all just told Twitter that they had to have a standard of morality? From an artist's mouth, I am telling you that freedom of speech is overrated. What you choose to do with your voice in this world is extremely powerful. We have seen throughout history how dangerous it can be to use your voice for evil. Now we all have a platform. But what really scares me is these massive corporations that just have no standarts for values at all. "It's not my problem, it's your problem. But I'll take your money and we'll go public." Is that what we're gonna do? Is that what we stand for as a generation? Oh, it's fine, because I still get to post my pictures? Nobody is going to remember what you tweeted, but you will never forget all that hateful s--t that you read every single day that made you sick at school.
