So proud of Gaga! Can you believe she was that 19 year old girl hustling in NY bars to perform her music and was getting rejected, and she kept on going and going and going in spite of that.... and fast forward to this moment— that same girl is now standing in Venice being honored alongside Bradley freaking Cooper for an Oscar-nominated film. Like, I’m so proud of her self-discipline and focus as a person. 😭 😭 💗 💗 💗
