Lady Gaga shares how Michael Polansky inspired her song
Lady Gaga recently gave an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, where she discussed the development of her latest album. Here, she also discussed other aspects of her career and life. During this interview, she spoke of Michael Polansky’s influence on her song “Blade of Grass.”
“As a songwriter, you need life to inspire your writing,” she told Lowe in the Apple Music interview. “And if everything is promotion, then I’ll write about promotion, and I won’t write about that special moment I shared with you where Michael asked me how I would want to propose to me one day.”
Lady Gaga then described the special interaction between her and Polansky. The couple were in their backyard she asked him to take a blade of grass and wrap it around her finger. The House of Gucci star then noted how she wrote “Blade of Grass,” because she remembered Polansky’s facial expression and the grass in the backyard. She also recalled how her fiance had to use the long grass situated in the center of their backyard.
Polansky proposed to Gaga shortly after her birthday in 2024, which she confirmed in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
