Lady Gaga reveals unconventional proposal from fiancé Michael Polanksy after Mayhem album tribute
How cute!
Lady Gaga has just dropped her brand new album, Mayhem, and among the dance pop vibes, there are some sweet tributes to her fiancé, Michael Polansky.
Last year, the Joker actress revealed she was making new music for the first time since 2020 and fans were beside themselves with excitement.
She’s finally given us Mayhem; a dance pop return to her Fame era with the depth and maturity of Chromatica.
A lot has changed in Gaga’s life since her last album, including the fact she is now engaged to Michael, who she has been dating since 2019.
Her love song Blade of Grass is an ‘eerie and tense’ tribute to this romance, with Gaga, 38, writing it after he proposed.
She told Rolling Stone: ‘The song was about a memory that I had of us standing in the backyard and he said, “When I propose to you,” he said, “what am I supposed to do?”

Never one to go about things in an expected way, the couple announced their engagement while speaking to the French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal during a memorable moment at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
On Sunday, July 28, the Abracadabra hitmaker was heard introducing Polansky, 46, as ‘my fiancé’ for the first time.
The pair had sparked engagement rumours in April after she was spotted wearing a large diamond ring, prompting fans to speculate.
She shared with Rolling Stone how their garden is filled with ‘haunting’ memories, particularly the loss of a friend who got married there but later died of cancer.

During the interview, Gaga explained that her life is very full with her partner and family now after a turbulent few years.
She sees this as a blending of herself and her music, feeling comfortable in her own skin after years of keeping Gaga and Stefani separate.
When the Grammy winner announced Mayhem she shared it was ‘nothing like anything that I’ve ever made before.’
‘There’s something really beautiful about knowing that you will be loved no matter what you do,’ she added.
