Lady Gaga has shared an update with her fans and revealed the reason she’s been laying low in recent months.

In a lengthy open letter with her 55 million Instagram followers, the 13-time Grammy winner acknowledged her absence.

“I’ve been experiencing my creativity ever since last summer in a really special and private way,” the 37-year-old wrote on Instagram Friday.

“I wrote and produced music for a special project, I prepared for months developing my character for ‘Joker,’ I filmed ‘Joker’ for many months (a very introspective time), I have been running my start-up Haus Labs, doing philanthropic work, and additionally have been working on the Chromatica Ball film edit.”

The Oscar winner, who stars as Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker in “Joker: Folie à Deux,” said time away from the spotlight has give her a chance to heal and recharge.

“I can say for the first time in many years that my love of making art, music, fashion, and supporting community has never been more fulfilling,” the “Hold My Hand” hitmaker continued.

“I hope you know this time to myself has been extremely healing and recharging for my heart, mind, body, and creativity — to create within myself and to have a personal life that’s just for me.”

“I’m sure that may feel different because I haven’t always been so private (I bet that will make some of you laugh) — but I LOVE my fans, my little monsters, so much and that will never change.”


Gaga revealed that she’s been working on a Chromatica Ball film as well as new music for a special project.

“I can’t WAIT for you to experience it. Thank you for being willing to grow with me so that I can change and transform with the community I love so much,” she shared. “I hope you love all the things I’ve been creating for you and I hope this is a small reminder to you of my deep passion and commitment to art.”

It may not come as a surprise to many that Gaga has enjoyed her time away from the limelight, as she previously admitted that she likes to “have time to be alone.”


“I’m actually really interested in living more of a life of solitude,” she told Wallpaper magazine.

“It’s really nice to just have time to be alone, and be expansive, and know that you’re enough. I wish I could tell my younger self that.”

“When I was younger, I spent a lot of time alone writing music,” she continued, adding, “But the more successful I became, the more I felt like I needed other people to tell me I was great.”
