What did Lady Gaga say about Joker: Folie à Deux?

Speaking with Elle magazine, Lady Gaga opened up about people’s reactions to Joker 2.

She explained, “Sometimes, people simply don’t take a liking to certain things. It’s straightforward. I believe being an artist necessitates the readiness for people not always to appreciate your work. Despite something falling short of your intended impact, you persevere.

She noted that the apprehension about not succeeding can, at times, inflict the greatest harm on an artist.

As a gamer, when a new game takes over my life, it becomes quite the challenge to keep things in check. It’s like adding fuel to the chaos, I guess you could say.
