‘I didn’t get here because I’m pretty’: Lady Gaga is proud to have achieved success while ‘not being perfect’ and says she resists ‘being objectified’ by men despite wearing ‘skimpy outfits’
Lady Gaga has revealed that she is proud of attaining global success despite ‘not being pretty’.
The 34-year-old pop superstar appeared on Australia’s The Project for a special interview which aired on Sunday evening, and told host Lisa Wilkinson that she has resisted ‘objectification’ despite wearing revealing clothing.
The Bad Romance singer said: ‘Even though I might wear skimpy outfits sometimes and I’m sitting here with no pants on with my big shoes, my definition of beauty has always been very against the grain.

‘I just dressed like how I felt like dressing today, how I wanted to do my hair, how I wanted my makeup to look.
‘But I would never want to send a message to anyone, especially a young person, that you have to be perfect in any type of physical way in order to be a beautiful person.’
The singer added: ‘I didn’t get here because I’m pretty. I’m not a supermodel. I make music and it’s that and my heart, and my brain that got me here, and a lot of hard work.’

Gaga said that she has a ‘straight male’ in her life who thinks highly of her and assured her that she is ‘authentic’ when she goes from ‘look from look’ and ‘doesn’t place value’ on her physical appearance.
‘I felt like I was really seen as a person, and it was really nice that I felt like I wasn’t being objectified by a man,’ Gaga told The Project.
The superstar has just released her highly-anticipated sixth studio album Chromatica, her first in six years.
