Among the artists that Gaga sought inspiration from, especially during her early years, Queen and David Bowie were said to be important role models. Years later she said:
Their music and stages were always accompanied by very powerful imagery. And it contained a certain amount of theatricality and drama that took people out of their everyday lives and into the vortex of what they were trying to express. It's like an "entrance". Also, I love theater and have studied it for years, and they showed me how to combine everything I love to create theatrical pop music.

Her hairstyle is as versatile as her clothes and makeup, and changes frequently. [130] She even dyed her own hair, a brunette, blonde to avoid any resemblance to her singer Amy Winehouse . By the way, a nylon fiber that adsorbs radioactive cesium developed by Professor Kyoichi Saito of Chiba University 's Graduate School of Engineering and the Environmental Purification Research Institute was named "GAGA."

One is, of course, as a manifestation of anti-war intentions. And the other thing... when John and Yoko declared "Give peace a chance," they didn't elaborate on what exactly that meant. I didn't say anything other than 'it's that simple'. So this tattoo reminds me of the power of simplicity. If it's simple, everyone can understand it without a magic potion, and you just have to give them a chance.

Rilke is her favorite philosopher , [135] and although she doesn't speak German, [132] she recognizes herself as a "songwriter" by seeing her poetry tattoos every day.

In response to this remark, Gaga commented , "She's a big star, and a lot of people didn't know me until the similarity was pointed out, so if anything happens, I have to send her flowers." and added, "I don't want to be remembered for this scandal .
