Gaga and Tony Bennett friendship, part two
Despite their differences in generation and fanbase, over the years, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga managed to create both beautiful music and a beautiful friendship.
Gaga told Parade in a 2014 interview that Bennett taught her “that it’s important to stay true to yourself.”
She added, “When I came into this with Tony, he didn’t say, ‘You’ve got to take off all the crazy outfits and just sing.’ He said, ‘Be yourself.'”

In 2021, after she and Bennett were nominated for six Grammy Awards for work on their joint album, Love For Sale, Gaga praised her music partner, saying:
“Tony is one of my most favorite people on the whole planet and I love him with all my heart. I love his family with all my heart, I love his wife, Susan, with all my heart.
“I can’t tell you how much I learned from him and what it’s like to sing with a legend for so many years.”
