Meanwhile, Gaga recently said that she felt “used up” by her alter-ego prior to the release of her latest album ‘Chromatica’, which came out in May.

“I just totally gave up on myself,” she said of the period before her new record. “I hated being famous. I hated being a star. I felt exhausted and used up.”
