Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, has an Italian-American background and was born in New York City. She was admitted to New York University’s music school, Collaborative Arts Project 21, where she studied music and other related topics such as politics, social issues, and religion. Although she withdrew after one semester to pursue her pop career, she did not study French in college. However, she has sung multiple songs in French, including “La Vie en Rose” in the film “A Star Is Born.”

Expressing a special connection with the French people and their music, she performed “Mon Truc en Plumes” at the opening of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Gaga expressed her gratitude and humility at being asked to open the Paris Olympics and to honor the French people and their history of art and music in a tweet.
