Gaga first appeared in an outrageous fetish/police-style outfit, before switching to a sea creature-inspired ensemble to perform piano versions of her hits Born this Way, Edge of Glory and You and I inside a clear plastic box.
During the interview the star defended her confrontational style, saying: “It comes with the territory of what I do. I’m not singing in a white T-shirt about nothing. I ask for it.”
She also admitted that sometimes even she is not aware of what her outlandish outfits actually mean.
“I will sometimes put a giant piece of glass on my head. I’m not sure I do understand it! But I’m born this way, this is what I am.”
She also joked that her look was “not at all important” and said, ironically: “I care not for fashion.”
She admitted: “I like attention. But I like attention for theatre and being an entertainer.”
