Lady GaGa has admitted that she received a career boost when Christina Aguilera was accused of stealing her look.
Aguilera performed at the MTV Video Music Awards in September wearing platinum blonde hair extensions, a black catsuit and a mask, leading many commentators to claim she was imitating Lady GaGa's distinctive sense of style.
"Well, it was very flattering when it happened," GaGa told DS. "She's such a huge star and if anything I should send her flowers, because a lot of people in America didn't know who I was until that whole thing happened.
"It really put me on the map in a way, though of course I don't just want to be remembered for the Christina Aguilera scandal."
However, Lady GaGa - real name Stefani Germanotta - insisted that she is not holding a grudge against Aguilera.
"There are no hard feelings with Christina at all," she said. "What it showed me was, even though I've only been on the commercial market for seven or eight months, I've really burned graphic images of my visuals onto the irises of my fans.
"They saw a huge, Grammy-winning star who's been around for years and they recognised Lady GaGa. That to me is quite an accomplishment."
Lady GaGa releases her debut single 'Just Dance' on January 5.
