Lady Gaga Reveals 'Blackout' Moments Meeting Trent Reznor

In a recent interview on The Howard Stern Show, Lady Gaga expressed her admiration for Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, revealing that she 'blacks out' whenever she meets him. She cited the band's 1994 hit 'Closer' as a significant influence on her new album, Mayhem, particularly its lead single, 'Disease.' Gaga described her reaction to Reznor as one of excitement rather than intimidation, saying she feels 'stoked and quiet' in his presence. The album, heavily inspired by '90s rock and industrial sounds, showcases a fusion of various musical influences, including Radiohead and David Bowie. Gaga is set to perform at the upcoming Coachella Festival and has been promoting her latest work with appearances on Saturday Night Live. She also opened up about her complex relationship with fame through her song 'Perfect Celebrity.'
