Always remember Lady Gaga this way: working hard on her creative endeavors.
In a rare personal message, the “Bad Romance” singer penned a lengthy note about her absence on social media, acknowledging her fans’ “longing for me to share more of my artistic process.”
“I’ve been experiencing my creativity ever since last summer in a really special and private way,” the 37-year-old wrote on Instagram June 16. “I wrote and produced music for a special project, I prepared for months developing my character for Joker, I filmed Joker for many months (a very introspective time), I have been running my start-up Haus Labs, doing philanthropic work, and additionally have been working on the Chromatica Ball film edit.”
All in all, Gaga—who will play Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix‘s Joker in Joker: Folie à Deux—has remained booked and busy on her upcoming projects.
“I can say for the first time in many years that my love of making art, music, fashion, and supporting community has never been more fulfilling,” she added. “I may not be sharing as much of myself online as I have in the past, but I hope you know this time to myself has been extremely healing and recharging for my heart, mind, body, and creativity—to create within myself and to have a personal life that’s just for me.”
