After years of bizarre outfit choices, wacky video narratives and surreal selfies (just check out her Instagram account for proof), Lady Gaga has come clean about why she is the way she is.
No, she wasn't Born That Way (sorry) - it’s all for her fans.
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the singer revealed that she doesn’t purposely go out of the way to look or act weird. In fact, she simply hopes that fans who feel isolated from society will feel less out of place because she’s doing weird things.
‘Whether that makes me crazy or insane I don’t know,' she said.

'But it’s my truth, so I’d rather just be open about my own insanity than allow anyone to think that I’m in a room somewhere generating what next thing I’m going to do to shock you all with.’

On the agenda next? Promoting her new album, Cheek to Cheek, with legendary 60s crooner Tony Bennett.
