I never went back."</p><p>"Just Dance" was written by Lady Gaga and produced by RedOne, who is currently <a href="https://gagadaily.com/story/news/lady-gaga-redone-lg5/">working</a> on Gaga's fifth album, due out in 2016.</p><p>Lady Gaga is <em>Billboard</em> magazine's <a href="https://gagadaily.com/story/news/lady-gaga-billboard-woman-of-the-year/">2015 Woman of the Year</a>.</p>

<p>Early reviews for <em>American Horror Story: Hotel</em> are in, and they are glowing, with many critics praising Gaga's outstanding performance.</p>
<p>On Saturday, FX held a private screening for the new season of their hit show, which drew crew and cast members, celebrities, journalists and critics. Lady Gaga was the last to arrive at the star-studded red carpet, wearing a Brandon Maxwell wave gown in custom red crepe. "I'm just so happy to be here and I feel really honored to be part of such a talented cast," she said.</p>

<p>The first episode, titled "Checkin In," was then screened for a selected group of journalists from the world's leading publications and their reaction was overwhelmingly positive.</p>
<p>"Sophisticated, sexy and scary as hell. In. So In. And Lady Gaga is fantastic," Kristin Dos Santos of <em>E! Online</em> wrote, adding: "The first scene with Gaga and Matt Bomer might be my favorite so far of the entire series. Terrifying and jaw-dropping."</p>
<p>"Loved the premiere and I feel like we've only seen the tip of this insane iceberg," tweeted <em>Buzzfeed</em>'s Jarett Wieselman. "Gaga is everything you want and more, Paulson rocked my world, there's a murder tableau that rivals Seven and Matt Bomer has never been sexier -- and I've done the research."</p>
<p>Debra Birnbaum simply wrote: "I have two words to say about the first episode of <em>American Horror Story</em>: Lady Gaga."</p>

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."</p><p>Lady Gaga <a href="https://gagadaily.com/story/news/ahs-hotel-early-reviews/">arrived</a> at the premiere event's red carpet wearing a stunning Brandon Maxwell dress and accompanied by her proud fiancé Taylor Kinney.

<p>Lady Gaga says working on <em>American Horror Story: Hotel</em> was about "getting into bed" with Ryan Murphy's mind.</p>
<p>"I know what maybe everyone thinks happens is that I get a script and I go, 'Oh yay, a foursome!'," Gaga told <em>The Hollywood Reporter</em> on the set of the show. "It's just not like that. I don't just simply do things because things are provocative, or because they are shocking. I'm doing it because the story that he's telling about addiction, the story that he's telling about our own narcissism, the story that he's telling about how the human being strives to survive within the challenges of the universe... That to me is what makes the sex so good."</p>
<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo " contenteditable="false"><div><iframe width="480" height="270" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XpM04odYa7A?feature=oembed"></iframe></div></div>
<p>She continued: "I just told Ryan that I wanted to play a dangerous woman that was fearless and he did just that. I mostly told him that because I wanted to extend to him what it is that I extend to every person I collaborate with, which is all of me: my past, my present, my future, all of it, in one, all the time. I really just wanted to work on something that I truly could put my heart and soul into that I would believe in fully. And also, it's kinda nice to be on the bottom sometimes, and not be on top and just let somebody else to be in control of my desire to make things. We're not just doing this together side by side. This is about me completely getting into bed with his mind and this world that he has created for you to discover things about yourself that you did not know you liked."</p>
<p><em>American Horror Story: Hotel</em> debuts tomorrow at 10 pm on FX.</p>

<p>Lady Gaga says she was surprised by her fiancé Taylor Kinney's reaction to her making an acting debut on <em>American Horror Story: Hotel</em>, which premieres tomorrow on FX.</p><p>"What guy in that scenario would be like, 'Sure, babe, do TV!'?" Gaga told <em>E!</em>. "He does TV, that's his thing. I do music, and you know, we're together. But I sort of was like, 'Is it cool if I do TV?,' And he was like, 'F--k yeah!'"</p><p>Gaga adds that Taylor has been "exponentially supportive the entire time and just like, so cool" as she prepared for her role on the Emmy-winning series.</p><p>She recalled: "He was like, 'We can read scripts together, and we can talk about our characters together, and I can teach you how to be on set! And he taught me all about etiquette and what actors would appreciate during their coverage. He taught me to make sure that I was always available fully to the actors when I was working so that when the coverage is on them that I don't drop my character, that I'm always in it for them, and you know, that's invaluable advice."</p><p>American Horror Story: Hotel premieres tomorrow at 10 p.m. on FX.</p>

<p>Lady Gaga stopped by the <em>Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon</em> to talk about her role on the new season <em>American Horror Story</em>, her fiancé Taylor Kinney, and more on Tuesday night. It is Gaga's third appearance on the popular show, but first as a lead interview guest.</p><p>Gaga's visit comes one day before the premiere of <em>American Horror Story: Hotel</em>, which marks her television acting debut. "I worked really hard on it and I completely committed to the role and I'm not doing anything else while doing <em>Horror Story</em>," she told Jimmy. "What I would say about this season is that there is a very interesting exploration of themes of addiction and survival, and how we as people nowadays kind of isolated ourselves from one another. We don't communicate the same way, there's not as much human interaction. As a result, there's this really strange world that Ryan has created of these very narcissistic characters that are all trying to survive in their own way."</p><p><script src="https://cdn.playwire.com/bolt/js/zeus/embed.js" data-config="//config.playwire.com/1003055/videos/v2/3941637/zeus.json" data-width="100%" data-height="100%" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p><em>American Horror Story: Hotel</em> premieres on October 7th on FX.</p>

<p>Ryan Murphy might have just hinted that Lady Gaga is already planning a tour for her next album. In an <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/ryan-murphys-professional-highs-personal-831587">interview</a> with <em>The Hollywood Reporter</em>, the Emmy-winning producer said that Gaga had not yet decided if she will return for season six of <em>American Horror Story</em>, which is scheduled for spring 2016, because "she's working on an album and has a tour."</p><p>"I really think she's the artist of her generation. I think that she can do everything. She pushes boundaries and I push boundaries which tends to piss a lot of people off," he said of working with Gaga on <em>Hotel</em>, adding: "We have talked about the next season. She's working on her album and she has a tour. So we're trying to figure that out. But I have my fingers crossed, because I have a great role for her next year that she likes."</p><p>Lady Gaga told the magazine earlier this month that Murphy is a creative soulmate for her.</p><p>"'It's over the top, it's trying too hard...' every single thing I'm sure that has ever been said about Ryan has been said about me many more times for sure," she said. "Through my career, even after Grammys and tons of accolades and awards, I'm still a blond with tits and an ass, and there's like some inability for people to take me seriously. And Ryan is not that way. Ryan's like, 'You're an old movie star, come sit next to me, let me brush your hair, let's talk about your career.'"</p><p>Gaga continued: "I know it shouldn't matter that he's gay but for what it's worth I have very special relationships with my gay friends, it's a whole other thing. It's a wise feminine connection that extends beyond sex. It's more about admiring each other as people. So he's certainly a creative soulmate for me and I just can't even believe he's in my life."</p><p>Monsters, how close do you think we are to #LG5? Share your thoughts in the comments below! </p>

<p>Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney may be engaged now, but their first interaction was not love at first sight. The 34-year-old actor, who is the star of NBC's hit series <em>Chicago Fire</em>, told Andy Cohen that Gaga slapped him the first time he kissed her on the set of the "Yoü And I" music video.</p>
<p>"I remember I went up, and we're rolling, and I kissed her and she didn't expect it," Taylor recalled. "They cut, and she slapped me. And it was just awkward. And the next take, I just did it again and then she didn't slap me. She didn't slap me then. We had a good time. I think there was chemistry. It was a late shoot. We were shooting until 4 or 5 in the morning. We exchanged information. A few weeks went by and we kept in touch and then that's that."</p>

<p>The couple got engaged this Valentine's Day after being together for more than three years.</p>
<p>"He put me on the back of his motorcycle and we drove away from all my security and he got in a lot of trouble," Gaga said of her first date with Taylor. "I just remember my helmet got all foggy because I was crying because I hadn't been outside by myself for so long. He hid me away in this little shack at the beach, where we made love all day long and then he introduced me to all his friends. And I'll never forget it because the one before him told me I would never make another friend, he told me I would die a rich old woman in a big house. With all my fame and no sense of the world. But not this guy. He told me that he was a gypsy too and if I wanted to we could go anywhere together or anywhere apart."</p>

<p>Lady Gaga and Elton John, who have been close friends for years appear together on the cover of Billboard's "We Can Be Heroes" philanthropy issue. Elton has penned an exclusive essay on HIV for the issue, while Gaga sat down for an interview about her Born This Way foundation and her new song "Till It Happens To You." Read excerpts from Gaga's interview below and be sure to pick up your copy of the magazine, on newsstands now!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Related: <a href="https://gagadaily.com/story/news/elton-john-lg5/">Elton John says Lady Gaga's new music is really fantastic</a></p>
<p><strong>On creating the <em>Born This Way</em> foundation:</strong><br>This foundation was born from the years I spent watching my fans grow up. Many of them were really young: 11- to 17-year-olds in very tumultuous times. They would tell me their stories -- and many of them were very dark. As I began to care for them and to see myself in them, I felt I had to do something that would remind kids they're not alone. When they feel isolated, that's when it leads to suicide.</p>
<p><img data-fileid="35" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" src="//gagadaily.com/uploads/stories/monthly_2015_10/lady-gaga-elton-billboard.jpg.e5f7f92356a7ef089567e30b19614e24.jpg" alt="lady-gaga-elton-billboard.jpg.e5f7f92356" data-ratio="133.33"></p>
<p><strong>On what makes her proudest about <em>Born This Way</em>:</strong><br>When I see the friendships these kids have built. When I see a child with an eating disorder sit down with somebody who has a lifelong terminal illness and somebody who's in transition -- that makes me feel like we're doing something no one else is. This is my life purpose, this foundation. This is why I was brought to life, I think.</p>
<p><strong>On changing the way she dresses:</strong><br>There's always a dichotomy within me. If you see me dressing really out there, I tend to be self-deprecating inside. When I dress like a lady, I tend to be feeling very wild and confident. That sounds bizarre, but I get a lot of s--t done with that blond hair. I haven't changed. It's just that I'm almost 30. I'm learning how to function effectively in society.</p>
<p><strong>On "Till It Happens To You":</strong><br>It's hard to listen to that song, it's hard to watch it. Diane [Warren] really held my hand. I was like, "I've done a lot of things Diane, but can I do this?" She was like, "You can do this." It was extremely cathartic to know that not only am I not alone, but that other men and women aren't alone -- we all have each other. Even outside of rape culture, there are a lot of people silently in pain about extremely traumatic things. </p>
<p><strong>On her friendship with Elton John:</strong><br>He inspires me in ways I could not even begin to list properly. He is my friend, he is like a parent. He looks out for me, he was there for me during the hardest times in my life. He doesn't allow me to slip into depression without making sure that I'm OK. Everything he has done for AIDS, everything he has done for the LGBT community. He's just everything -- when I'm with him, I just want to help be a part of his genius plan to save the world. </p>

<p>Lady Gaga was honored at the annual National Arts Awards, presented by <em>Americans for the Arts</em>, the nation's leading non-profit organization for advancing the arts and arts education, on Monday night in New York City. Mother Monster received the "Young Artist" award for her work that shows deep commitment to art and demonstrates extraordinary achievement.</p>

<p>"What I always wanted was to be taken seriously and tonight's the closest I might come to that," Gaga said as she accepted the Jeff Koons-designed award, wearing a gorgeous Marc Jacobs gown. "Art can make you foolish and wild but it’s always been a warm blanket for me to rely on. Art has totally cured me. I don't think there's a single award that is more meaningful to me than this one."</p>
<p>Earlier that night, Gaga walked the red carpet of her fiancé Taylor Kinney's new movie <em>Rock the Kasbah</em>.</p>

<p>Lady Gaga's fiancé Taylor Kinney may be her best friend and biggest supporter, but that doesn't mean he enjoyed watching her blood-drenched sex scene in the first episode of <em>American Horror Story: Hotel.</em></p><p>"It was awkward! They had a really lovely premiere in Los Angeles the other week, and I was sitting next to her father and we were both kind of like, 'Wow! Good job, honey!,'" Taylor joked on yesterday's <em>Meredith Vieira Show</em>.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Related:</strong> <a href="https://gagadaily.com/story/news/ahs-hotel-love-scenes/">Lady Gaga talks love scenes in 'American Horror Story: Hotel'</a></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">He continued: </span><span style="line-height: 1.6;">"I remember I was walking out, and Ryan Murphy, who created the show and directed that episode as well, he's like, 'Hey, what did you think?' and I don't think I said anything. I'm still trying to process what the hell I just watched.

<p class="app-no-display"><img src="https://gagadaily.com/uploads/stories/monthly_2015_10/lady-gaga-iamnotjust.jpg.9dc2f51eaf7b6929e3740b4b481c231c.jpg" /></p>

<p>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."</p>
<p>Check out highlights from the conversation or watch it below (Gaga's part starts at 59:00)...</p>
<p><strong>On what made her start the Born This Way foundation:</strong><br>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.</p>
<p><strong>On what Emotion Revolution is about:</strong><br>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. </p>
<p><strong>On the importance of being able to say 'no':</strong><br>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>On the power of words on the Internet: </strong><br>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. </p>
