Of course, Lady Gaga isn’t her real name. She was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta on March the 28th, 1986. Lady Gaga is her stage name. She is an American singer-songwriter who has become one of the biggest names in music for her songs, performances, fashion and politics. She became famous in 2008 and just two years later was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
“嘎嘎小姐”不是她的真名。她出生于1986年3月，本名為斯蒂芬妮·喬安妮·安吉莉娜·杰爾馬諾塔。“嘎嘎小姐”為藝名。她是美國唱作人，因其在歌唱界時尚界嶄露頭角而被人們所熟知，在政見上也是直言不諱。2008年，嘎嘎小姐一舉成名，兩年后入選《時代周刊》全球100名最具影響力人物榜單。
Lady Gaga had a musical upbringing. She learned to play piano from the age of four and was singing in public by the time she was 14. She also loved acting in musicals at school. She went to a New York art college at the age of 17 where she wrote a research paper that focused on "music, art, sex and celebrity”. She concentrated on songwriting and singing in New York clubs. She got her name from the Queen song “Radio Gaga”.
嘎嘎小姐從小與音樂結緣。4歲開始學習鋼琴，14歲開始公開演唱。她還喜歡出演學校的音樂劇。17歲進入紐約大學藝術學院，在校期間曾寫了一篇關于“音樂、藝術、性別以及名人”的研究報告。她著重歌曲創作，并開始在紐約俱樂部演唱。她的名字來源于皇后樂隊的《Radio Gaga》。

The singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" became international hits. The album reached number one on the record charts in six countries. Her second album Born This Way (2011) also enjoyed spectacular success. The single "Born This Way" was the fastest-selling single in iTunes history.
