Singer talks to Elle magazine about settling down

As a rule, fans rarely see Lady Gaga without her face covered by some futuristic and, according to many, ridiculous headgear or heavy makeup. As if to prove that, at the end of the day, she remains an artist that only puts on an act, the singer is featured in the latest issue of Elle magazine, looking more natural and sweeter than ever.

Moreover, to reinforce the impression of normalcy, Gaga, who usually speaks in interviews of the message she wants to send through her music and performances or, on the contrary, about her tumultuous past love life, is now touching upon topics like marriage and starting a family. Like any other person in this world, this eccentric singer would also love to settle down one day, although she promises she would never be the kind of stay-at-home wife.

Neither would she put her career on hold to see to her personal life, at least not now, she explains. “In eight to 10 years, I want to have babies for my Dad to hold, grandkids. And I want to have a husband who loves and supports me, just the way anyone else does. I would never leave my career for a man right now, and I would never follow a man around,” the 23-year-old singer says for the magazine.

Right now, though, the focus is entirely on her career: Gaga just kicked off her tour, The Monster Ball, to rave reviews and is enjoying massive chart success with her recently released album “The Fame Monster.” As such, she has not the time to stop and have a personal life, a point she made more than once, because everything is too chaotic and, frankly, she’s enjoying it too much. Speaking of chaos, Gaga also explained why she often simulates her own death on stage and why she refuses that her album covers fit the industry’s standard.

“I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend. I can show you so you’re not looking for it. I’m dying for you on domestic television – here’s what it looks like, so no one has to wonder,” she says of the former. “I fought for months, and I cried at meetings. They didn’t think the photos were commercial enough…The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself,” Gaga adds on the topic of her album covers so far.
