Girl Gaga Says Michael Polansky Love Tale Impressed ‘Blade of Grass’

Girl Gaga ends Mayhem with love. On Friday, the pop singer will liberate her 7th studio album, Mayhem. On a up to date name with Rolling Stone forward of the album, she shared that the second-to-last music, “Blade of Grass,” is a monitor she wrote after her engagement to fiancé Michael Polansky final spring.

“I wrote it after Michael proposed to me. The music used to be a couple of reminiscence that I had folks status within the yard and he mentioned, ‘Once I suggest to you, what am I meant to do?’” Gaga says. “And I mentioned, ‘You’ll simply wrap a blade of grass round my finger within the yard. And I’ll say sure.’”

The candy second from Polansky — who later requested her to marry him in April 2024 after an afternoon of rock-climbing — revived some grief for Gaga, too. “It used to be the reminiscence of the previous haunting me and the lack of buddies, the lack of family members. I had a chum that were given married in my yard, who died of most cancers,” Gaga says, regarding her pal and managing director of Haus of Gaga, Sonja Durham, who died in 2017. “I used to be remembering that this glad second and this glad factor in my existence used to be taking place in a spot the place it used to be bittersweet. I used to be reflecting on that too.”

Gaga describes “Blade of Grass” as having “much more eerie and demanding” power and extra “ominous chords” than “Die With a Smile,” which in the end closes Mayhem. It’s all intentional. “‘Die With A Smile’ is in reality hopeful and dreamy and vintage, and that’s the place the mayhem in the end does finish,” the singer says. “The wonderful thing about the album is that the Mayhem doesn’t repeat, it if truth be told ends.”

Polansky has been a throughline for Mayhem. As Gaga began selling the document, she informed Style it used to be Polansky who in the end inspired her to “make a brand new pop document.” (Polansky is even credited as a co-writer on “Illness.”)  “At the Chromatica excursion, I noticed a fireplace in her,” Polansky informed the mag. “I sought after to assist her stay that alive always and simply get started making track that made her glad.”
