Although Lady Gaga has received a lot of backlash for letting a performance artist vomit green slime on her eight days ago during a concert at SXSW Festival in Texas, the "G.U.Y." vocalist is applauding the performance.
During an interview with Savannah Guthrie, Gaga stood up for the puking spectacle she got away with on stage.
"I guess we weren't completely surprised. [Millie Brown] and I know that not everybody's going to love that performance," she confessed. "But we both really believe in artistic expression and strong identities. I support her and what she does. ARTPOP, my new album, is about bringing art and music together and the spirit of creative rebellion. For us, that performance was art in its purest form. But we totally understand that some people won't be into it."
Gaga also insisted that her goal was not to make headlines with her and Brown's wild antics.
"Did we want the controversy? I suppose it doesn't matter," she said. "Either way, we don't make things for any intention in particular other than in the spirit of entertaining the crowd and creating something that is really for the moment. It wasn't meant for the Today show. It was meant for a club performance in Austin, and we had a great time."
Regardless of the scrutiny she is under for the vomit performance, Gaga has no regrets.
"I feel like everything happens for a reason. I think you learn every time there's a challenge in your life. I wouldn't want my fans to have any regrets in their own lives, so I would say no," she told Guthrie. "But there's of course, I'm a musician and an artist, so I'm always editing and changing things, but that's the beauty of life, right? Your life is your own art piece. You can make it whatever you want."
