The new season of American Horror Story is promised to be the sexiest yet and Lady Gaga, who plays the main character, says it's an opportunity for her to be fearless.

Speaking to Access Hollywood during the season premiere event on Saturday, she admitted: "In a strange way, I think I almost prefer to watch myself in a love scene, because I know that I have to be completely honest in order to achieve something that looks authentic and feels real. I'm trying to see that authenticity in myself all the time on film. Sometimes, when you're thinking too much about things you plan them out and you're more robotic in your performance."

Lady Gaga arrived at the premiere event's red carpet wearing a stunning Brandon Maxwell dress and accompanied by her proud fiancé Taylor Kinney. "I'm so happy that he's here," she said. "He's just been really supportive and teaching me everything that I could ever learn about TV."

Last month, it was revealed that one of the opening scenes of the show is Lady Gaga and Matt Bomer's characters having a foursome with another couple, then killing their partners with razor-sharp gloves and feasting on their bood.
