Lady Gaga has revealed she was on lithium while filming A Star Is Born, which later caused a psychotic break. “I did A Star Is Born on lithium,” the fourteen-time Grammy winner, told Rolling Stone. After filming the Oscar-winning movie, the artist embarked on a world tour for her album Joanne in August 2017. She said that while on tour, she had a psychotic break. Gaga cancelled the last 10 shows of the tour when her sister looked at her and said, “I don’t see my sister anymore.” She revealed that she “went to the hospital for psychiatric care.” Despite her record Chromatica being about healing, she “smoked weed all day, knocked back a couple bottles of wine.” During this time, she met her now fiancé, Michael Polansky, a Harvard-educated tech entrepreneur. He said, “I’d never met somebody so incredibly talented and gifted feel so disempowered.” Gaga claimed that “He helped me see that my life was precious.” The singer claimed she didn’t think she “could get better” and now feels “really lucky to be alive.”
