The singer explained that MTV offered her the opening slot after hearing what she had in mind for the performance. "I was just really excited and I was really happy because they asked me after I told them what I wanted to do, so it was even more exciting because I knew that it was based off the performance idea and MTV believing in me as an artist and they have, and I appreciate that, from the beginning," she said. "They always allowed me to do my version of pop music and not someone else's."
Gaga also dished on other topics, such as her new collaboration with Cher. Cher wrote on Twitterlast week that the song is called "The Greatest Thing" and will be released in September. The track will reportedly serve as the lead single for Cher's next album.
"I wrote that song a long time ago, and I've never put it on one of my own albums for, really, no particular reason," Gaga explained. "I always write these concept records, and it just didn't fit in. But it's always been this big, massive, beautiful hit record and everyone always says, 'Why don't you put that on your album?' And I said, 'I don't know, it just doesn't fit with everything else.' Cher heard the song and loved it and wanted to do it together. And I said, 'F**k yeah, it's Cher!'"
Meanwhile, amidst all this activity, Forbes magazine has named Gaga on its list of the World's 100 Most Powerful Women. The list is primarily dominated by politicians and CEOs, but Gaga grabs the #11 spot, which is higher than other celebrity figures like Oprah Winfrey (#14) andBeyoncé Knowles (#18).
