I have to admit at first, I was not a fan. Her music seemed pretty repetitive and she kind of scared me a little. It took me until Bad Romance to get on board. AND BOY, was I on board. She loves, she fights, and she uses her art to do both in the most beautifully subtle but obnoxious way possible. Let's admit it, Born This Way has to be one of the most repetitive dance hits ever. But, oh my goodness, if it's not an anthem to everyone who felt alone, scared, or confused. Lady Gaga has made it now completely possible to flip off the people who have hated you, hug the people who have loved you, and feel fabulous the whole time your doing it.

Obviously, I can't talk about Gaga, without mentioning the Superbowl.She was told not to get political. Anyone who thinks she followed this command, doesn't know Gaga. This woman is basically walking social commentary. I want to thank her for singing "This Land Is Your Land".... Anyone who thinks her singing This Land is Your Land wasn't political... I just... artistic translation has been lost on you baby, it's okay. BUT, in light of the "Muslim Ban" the "Wall" and so much other stuff that is going on, her singing that song hit home. I may have shed a tear, or maybe I had something in my eye, since nothing political was going on. Also, she emphasized the word "ALL" at the end of the pledge, I'll leave it at that. Born This Way was obviously amazing. . I appreciate that song even more than usual, when it talks about acceptance and love for LGBTQ members, in front of Mike Pence, and millions of other people who would have never listened to that song had she not been part of the biggest sporting event of the year. I'm sure a lot of people found that to be political. She made someone feel heard. She made me feel heard. Sometimes, that's all you need.

OH, and her body is awesome too, guys and gals. Watching the performance I immediately turned to my friend and said people were going to be complaining about her body on Monday, and sure enough, they did. But, Thank YOU! I'm pretty skinny. I have pretty tiny legs, tiny arms, and you can literally see my ribs. But, no matter how many stupid crunches I do, or how much I run, I don't think my stomach will ever be perfectly flat. Her stomach was not perfectly flat. She wore shorts and a crop top, and her stomach was... a stomach. She was confident, and singing her face off, and dancing with such insane skill. Most importantly, she looked like me. She looked like so many women. I very rarely see women who are neither perfectly skinny, or beautifully plus size ( both beautiful, just neither are my category). SO, thanks.

This women truly is mother monster, and I can't wait to see what she does moving forward.
