5 Surprising Things You Didn't Know About Lady Gaga
Yes, we already know that she is a singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, but beyond that, she is a great artist. Here we leave you unsuspected data of Lady Gaga.
You may think you know everything about her life, but we assure you that there is still much to know about this integral artist:

5 things you didn't know about Lady Gaga:
1. She has prevailed because of her stylized fashion sense (somewhat scandalous) and always avant-garde.
For her first performance in a school play, in first grade, Gaga created her own outfit out of (you guessed it) aluminum foil and clothespins.
A logical jump to meat dresses and fishbowl outfits, right?
2. Her career as an actress goes back much further than you think. While Gaga is best known for A Star Is Born (and her now-iconic performance as Patrizia Reggiani in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci, which opens next month), her first role — or, at least,
the first role appearing recorded on her IMDb page, she was cast as "Pool Girl #2" in a 2001 episode of the HBO series The Sopranos.
If you fast-forward to the pool scene in the episode, titled The Telltale Mozzarella, you can see Gaga in all her teen glory and all giggly… Who knew that would be just her first time on screen? ?

3. Gaga's outrageous style wasn't always welcomed by people in the right way, and at one point, her list of detractors included her own father (albeit with good intentions to protect her).
The singer recalls that when her father first saw her onstage, she was wearing "a leopard fringed bikini, a sequined belt and granny panties, and it was all so messed up, it was unbelievable."
While he stayed throughout the performance and told Gaga that he "did a great job," he was concerned for her daughter's well-being.
"He was shocked. And alarmed," the singer once confessed. "My mom told me she broke down and told him she thought she was crazy. Really crazy.
Later that week, my family said, 'It was really hard to watch that show and we think you've gone crazy and we really don't know what to do'
4. She wrote her first hit, "Just Dance", in record time. “I was very hungover. I wrote the song in about 10 minutes with [producer] RedOne.
And it was the first time that she was in a Hollywood studio. A very pristine huge room with giant speakers." She later confessed to The Guardian in 2009 that she had trouble getting radio stations to play her music. "We've been trying to get them to play me in the US since March," she said.
"I mean, it doesn't sound the least bit like I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry, which is a beautiful, charming, surprising hit record; and that sounds like a radio hit. My song doesn't sound like a hit. I mean, it does, but it doesn't do it at the same time."
5. While Gaga is credited as one of the most innovative artists in the industry, she is also responsible for a very revolutionary invention in the world of perfumery.
When she was creating her first fragrance, Fame, she asked Coty executives that she wanted the liquid to be black in the bottle and turn clear when sprayed.
“She started sweating on my forehead,” Yael Tuil, Coty's vice president of global marketing, told Vogue in 2012. “I was like, 'Oh my God! That's impossible! How can we do that?'”
Ultimately, scientists developed a special formula to meet Lady Gaga's specifications, and the company now has a patent pending for this black-to-clear liquid technology.
"She was really behind the biggest innovation in the fragrance industry in the last 20 years," said Tuil. "Gaga really pushes boundaries."
