Lady Gaga talks about her Gossip Girl 'performance art' guest appearance

November 6, 2009

Wacky performer Lady Gaga has spoken out about her upcoming guest appearance on Gossip Girl - and admitted she accepted the part because her teenage sister is a huge fan of the show.

She said: "First of all, my sister's a huge fan, and she's 17 years old.

"So when I called her and said, 'Gossip Girl wants to put my whole new album on the show and have me perform,' she was like: 'Oh my God, you have to do it. It's an amazing show.'

"And I'd seen it. It's a great show."

Lady Gaga also revealed she didn't want her time on the show to be a stereotypically awkward musical-guest appearance on a TV series.

She wanted it done the Gaga way, adding: "I hate TV series performances because they kind of come in out of nowhere, and everyone's, like, really into the story, and then all of a sudden somebody breaks into song.

"And it has nothing to do with the storyline, and then it screws everything up."

"So I really sat down with the writers. I was like: 'Look, I want to do this, and the reason I want to do this is because I am trying to say something that is not mainstream in a mainstream capacity. So, if I can say it on your show, that would be, like, a real coup d'état for me as a performance artist.' "

The chart-topping star then revealed that the end result is more like an elaborate music video.

She added: "I am the narrator behind what is going on with the characters and make the song part of the moment."

The Gossip Girl episode airs in the US on November 16.
