Lady Gaga may be a powerful mother monster to her fans, but the coronavirus pandemic makes her feel less powerful than usual.
Singer “Chromatica” (34) told USA TODAY his part that many people feel during this time: “an epic feeling of powerlessness over what is happening in the world.”
“We encountered a supervirus that is epic in its catastrophic magnitude,” she said. “That feeling of powerlessness is, in some ways, I think, something we all share.”
The pandemic fueled her in other ways, adding that it ‘really mobilized me to work on how I can help the world’.
One way she can act is by working with the International WELL Building Institute for its WELL health safety rating, which assesses which buildings and businesses have taken steps to achieve a certain level of safety amidst COVID-19. Spaces that meet the requirements get a GOOD health safety seal that indicates that it has passed.
Gaga believes that this will be ‘one of the movements that are part of building our global community and building our local communities’, by showing people that we’ can return to the normal quotes, but we must do it safely . “
She was also focused on keeping her mental health in check by staying active.
“It was very important to me that I keep moving my body. It’s really important for my mental health,” she said. “So I did regular exercises that I would normally do. But I mostly walk and walk mostly. I wear my mask and go for a walk.”
She said she “used to be very nervous about hiking” because of her chronic pain, but she overcame her concern.
“I found out during COVID that … you can seize the courage that is happening in the universe and grab that courage and put it inside you and be fearless,” she explained.
She hopes others will stay active, whether through an online yoga class or a “walk in the block where you live” while the world is “in the midst of a mental health crisis”.
“I really encourage people to move their bodies and be in the world. Wear masks, stay safe, but do not forget to move. Because if your energy stagnates like this, it can really lead to mental health problems,” she said. . “I really believe that by practicing everyday skills … like moving your body, drinking lots of water, eating healthy, taking care of yourself, self-care – these are things we need to ensure we do to look after our minds. ‘
Gaga is also out to perform the national anthem during the inauguration of President Joe Biden on January 20, which she described as a ‘beautiful, joyful day’.
“I felt very, very honored to be there, I still feel very honored to have been asked to sing our national anthem, and it will always be an honor for me to sing for the great people of this country,” she said. “And I really wanted to sing for everyone. In a moment of healing, of togetherness, and I thought a lot about building the beloved community, the beloved community that Dr. Martin Luther King jr. Dreamed of.”
She added that she was ‘just as gripped’ by the words of Amanda Gorman, the Harvard graduate, the National Youth Poet winner and the youngest entry-level poet in American history to become a breakthrough star of the inauguration.
“She was just brilliant – what a sweet, sweet young woman,” she said of Gorman.
Regarding her own actions, Gaga added: “I really just want to continue doing work that I think is essential, that is kindness. Kindness is essential.”
