"I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly"
About this Quote
The specific intent is both tender and tactical. Gaga wants an audience that doesn’t just consume her confidence but mirrors it back at themselves. That matters because her brand was never simply songs; it was permission. In the late-2000s/early-2010s pop landscape, her maximalist aesthetics and “little monsters” mythology turned outsider feelings into an identity you could wear. “Instantly” is another key word: she’s chasing the hard reset, the three-minute transformation, the chorus as a switch you can flip when the world is hostile.
There’s subtext, too, about power and responsibility. Hypnosis implies control, even if benevolent; Gaga is acknowledging the influencer-before-influencers dynamic between star and fan. She’s also quietly rejecting the old pop contract where the artist is the object of worship and the audience stays hungry. Her ideal fan leaves the temple fed, not desperate.
