Lady Gaga reveals how fiancé Michael Polansky’s unorthodox proposal inspired song on new album Mayhem

Lady Gaga has revealed how her fiancé Michael Polansky’s unorthodox proposal inspired a song on her upcoming album Mayhem.

The 38-year-old pop star has been dating the venture capitalist since 2019, and they eventually got engaged in April of last year.

Mayhem, which will be released on Friday, is the first full-length pop studio album that Gaga will drop since her 2020 effort Chromatica.

Three of the songs have already been unveiled and proven themselves as hit singles, but several of them remain under wraps until the full album is unveiled.

One of them is the romantic number Blade Of Grᴀss – which Gaga has now disclosed is directly drawn from the way Michael popped the question.

He asked Gaga to marry him in an unusual manner that she had in fact suggested herself, she revealed on Apple Music to Zane Lowe.

She shared that Michael ‘asked me how I would want him to propose to me one day. We were in our backyard and I said: “Just take a blade of grᴀss and wrap it around my finger,” and then I wrote Blade Of Grᴀss.’

While penning the song, the Bad Romance hitmaker ‘remembered the way his face looked, and I remembered the grᴀss in the backyard.’

Gaga, born Stefani Germanotta, added: ‘And I remembered thinking: “He should use that really long grᴀss that’s in the center of the backyard.”’

Michael ultimately proposed last year on April Fool’s Day, with a blade of grᴀss as Gaga requested – though because of the date she initially ᴀssumed he was joking.

In addition to the grᴀss ring, Michael also presented his bride-to-be with a mᴀssive eight-carat oval-cut diamond sparkler she has flaunted in the months since.

Their engagement went public that July when Gaga introduced Michael as ‘my fiancé’ to France’s prime minister at the time, Gabriel Attal.

Gaga was in Paris to perform at the Olympics, where she recreated cabaret legend Zizi Jeanmaire’s racy number Mon truc en plumes (My Thing In Feathers).

in her new interview, Gaga showered praise on Michael, saying that he helped dispel the feelings of loneliness that she had previously harbored.

‘My home used to only be the stage,’ she said. ‘It was so lonely, and also, it is so much more fun to take somebody up there with you, someone that loves you, that knows what you’re capable in all the various aspects of life.’

She touchingly shared: ‘ I think that there’s nothing that can bring a tear to my eye I think more on a daily basis than knowing that I mean also so much to somebody in a way that isn’t about what I’m doing onstage, or my song, or what I’m wearing.’

Gaga dished: ‘He’s so grateful if I make him a double decaf espresso over ice, ’cause that’s his favorite, and that’s a huge part of who I am, and mattering to somebody just for being me, a girl, that means a lot.’

Another plus side of her relationship is that Michael understands her life as a pop star, including the pressures and rigors she has to undergo.

‘But also to be embraced also – in that he will say to me: “The thing you have to do, to get yourself ready to do that, is so intense.” He just wants me to be okay, and he wants to – he’s my real friend,’ Gaga said glowingly.

Michael is also involved hands-on in Gaga’s musical career, helping her pen seven of the songs that fans will be able to hear on Mayhem.
