Happy Birthday Lady GaGa!

The songstress Lady Gaga celebrates 30 years today! Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born to parents Cynthia and Joseph Germanotta in in New York City. Eight years ago, the performer we know as Lady Gaga emerged and the rest is history. Millions of albums and singles sold, an astounding string of live performances, countless awards and broken records, and a legacy of bravery and kindness later, an icon was formed. “I want to show women they don’t need to try to keep up with the 19-year-olds and the 21-year-olds in order to have a hit. Women in music, they feel like they need to fucking sell everything to be a star. It’s so sad. I want to explode as I go into my 30s.” – Lady Gaga
