Lady GaGa has said that winning the MTV Video Music Award for'Best New Artist' in 2009 "changed [her] life".
The 'You and I' singer recalled the "surreal" moment of being honoured with the prestigious prize in an interview with MTV News.
"I will always remember 'Best New Artist'. I just remember that I won and I was surprised and I was really taken aback," GaGa recalled. "It was a super surreal moment, where you have to think very quickly.
"You can't hear yourself, because they are screaming so loud, and you don't have an in-ear [monitor] and you've got a microphone and you've got to get everything out, and I just remember I said, 'To God and the gays' and I remember when I was done, I thought that was the right thing to say."
The Born This Way star went on to say that she was "overwhelmed" by the recognition, adding: "I'll never forget that moment. The first time that MTV recognised me, that changed my life."
Lady GaGa will perform at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards this weekend in Los Angeles.
She recently promised that her performance at the ceremony will not disappoint fans.
