Well Gags was a character created for The Fame era to help her become popular. She phased it out in the TFM era and has been herself ever since then.

Peter Salovey and Marc Brackett from Yale. We had an amazing day discussing the importance of emotions and conscious communication. #EmotionRevolution #IamNotJust

Omfg, is she really serious?  Just donate some money to rape and abuse victims, at least that would be useful instead of seriously discussing some crap with stupid nerds

Remember back in The Fame era people would ask her "Who is Lady Gaga"?
and she would answer like "Mmm it's me?" acting like it was her birth name?

Surely she's not delusional enough to think that she will be as successful as she is now while using a real name?

Maybe more then ARTPOP Gaga. I think that was the time Gaga was trying to quit the anti depressants and spun out of control.

I'm joking.
She will never ditch the Lady Gaga name, of course, lol. It's just that she wanted to be very serious on that meeting, to show to those dumb students that their problems matter to her, that she's not there as a silly pop star but as a humanitarian who deeply cares about students and their problems with expressing feelings and emotions

Her comment lowkey hyped me because maybe she's in an interesting
place in her mind to write from. Maybe she will talk about her rise to fame,
what she experienced, the ARTPOP mess etc from a "Stefani" point of view. Idk.

seems more and more the album will be called stefani then
i get her point but to others it may seem she was fake all the time, she said several times gaga is her but then goes to say she created gaga.

"I am – Stefani is – a perpetually tortured artist. That's why I changed my name. I can't be her in public. She would be a mess!"

She said this in 2013 (the boiling point of her erraticism). Gaga's probably in the happiest place she has ever been in her life. She isn't the Stefani who was getting bullied, who was dropped from a label, who was battling a drug addiction, who was in a horrible relationship, who had depression and eating disorders, who was raped by producers, she isn't being mistreated by her management trying to control her, etc... She's been through so much horrible experiences, Gaga was always a persona where she could escape that, create a sphere and put her troubles into artistic expression and performance art and not be Stefani. This isn't new so I don't see why y'all are surprised. That's something she emphasized during BTW, she wanted her fans to become whoever they wanted to be to feel free in themselves, confident, express and live half way between reality and fantasy, fantasy being Lady Gaga. She mentioned recently how her "out there" outfits was her self depreciating inside too.
It's sad really, because it's a time we hold such joy but to her she was upset and struggling, but the thing is some of y'all are holding Gaga to stuff she said at 21. She's almost 30, she's engaged, she's been through a hell of a lot since, she's seen the extreme highs and lows of being famous and successful, she's toured the world and back countless times, she's achieved basically everything from a career #1s, billions on tours, millions of dollars, Grammys, every award in the book, etc... She's in a completely different mindset right now. She's a different person. Would you think you'd relate to your 21 year old self at 30? No. Same goes to those wanting her to re-create The Fame. That's never going to happen. Different time, different era, different era in her life and what she wanted to achieve and say.
I feel like she's more accepting of being Stefani than living through a persona to escape her troubles and demons at the time but right now she's in a much better place. I'm excited to see how it transcends to LG5. She's never going to not be Lady Gaga. But, she isn't the Lady Gaga she was in 2008. Nor is she the same Stefani.

(she's not married yet  )
yeah that's a good explanation but she has to explain it a bit better or the haters will have a go.

I'll keep telling ya'll you start finding your true self around your 30s. As weird as it is but it's a true make or break moment for women at least. Questioning your career, your partner, your life path, your truths.
I don't wanna make it about me, but I experienced the exact same stuff Gaga is talking about during her talk at Yale about saying no. Called of an engagement with a guy that was well off. Yes it was a comfy life and I was being taken care off and isn't that what society says women want or should stay with?
Half year before I turned 30 I had the guts to just say no, it isn't for me, this is not the man I wanna spend my life with.
10 months later I met my now husband and just live modest yet happy life.
I know for you gay guys it must be already tougher in most countries since being gay is already against "the norm" itself.
There is no way I can say "I know how you feel" cause obviously I don't but I applaud you guys for just keep going on and I hope together we can just make a new norm where everyones sexuality is accepted. Your generation now has to keep the issue on the front pages and hope that your struggle will make the guys and girls coming after you in 30-40 years free of prejudice.
I don't even know why I am ranting now, lemme just get myself a tea.

This was really sweet to read 
Regardless if you think it or not, you're kind of attitude is making it easier for people in the LGBT community accept themselves and come out
I also really appreciate that you acknowledged that you don't know how we feel - I hate it when people who are heterosexual try to act like they know how I feel as a gay man, it gets fustrating. I know they're doing it to be sympathetic / understanding, but still.
I have yet to watch Gaga's speech, but I'm excited
