Lady Gaga looked back at her humble roots on Wednesday, acknowledging a now-deleted Facebook group created by some of her New York University classmates called “Stephanie Germanotta, You’ll Never Be Famous.” Screenshots of the community, which calls Gaga by her birth name, have been circulating online among fans for several years now.
Gaga publicly confronted the group's existence by commenting on TikTok about it. The original post featured a screenshot of the 12-member group on Facebook along with a list of the star's many awards, including an Academy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, 13 Grammy Awards, 10 Billboard Music Awards, and 18 MTV Music Video Awards.
Some people went to college [with] “I’ve been doing this for a long time,” Gaga wrote on the post. “That’s why you can’t give up when people doubt you or underestimate you — you have to keep going.”
Gaga attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in the years leading up to the release of her debut studio album, “The Fame.” She dropped out of NYU in 2005 and began performing in New York clubs while developing her on-stage persona.
Joaquin Phoenix, Gaga and director Todd Phillips recently brought their comic book sequel “Joker: Double Destruction” to the Venice Film Festival, where the film received a standing ovation after its premiere. The film opens in theaters on October 4.
“Todd has done a great job with this whole concept and script, giving the ‘Joker’ sequel such a boldness and complexity,” Gaga said. diverse In the film's cover story, “There's music, there's dance, it's drama, it's also courtroom drama, it's comedy, it's happy, it's sad. It's a testament to [Todd] “As a director, I think he would rather be creative than just tell a traditional love story.”
