Sam Smith is on the cover of Rolling Stone’s February issue! In the interview, he spoke about Lady Gaga
Quote:
Smith was a devoted Lady Gaga fan. When he was 17, he faked a note to his teachers, saying he was sick so he could get in for Gaga’s Monster Ball at the O2 Arena. “I was front row, fully Gaga’d up!” he says. Unfortunately, he left the fake note open on a school computer and ended up with three days of detention and big trouble at home. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat,” he says. “Without Gaga, I wouldn’t be here right now.” Today, Gaga says that knowing she inspired Smith is “one of the most powerful experiences I’ve had as an artist. I was Sam. I still am Sam in a lot of ways.”

Gaga was also interviewed by Rolling Stone among other artists, to give her personal opinion on Sam Smith
Quote:
“When I watched his performance on SNL, I knew how powerful his gift was,” says Lady Gaga. “I was with my boyfriend, about to leave for tour again the next day, and Sam was singing ‘Stay With Me’. We both had such an honest emotional reaction. I remember thinking how unique it was to have such a visceral reaction to a modern artist.”
