During her acceptance speech and on Instagram, Lady Gaga paid a moving homage to her fiancé Michael Polansky. It was more than just a romantic gesture; it was a potent celebration of partnership, teamwork, and the beauty that comes from love.
Behind the Music
From conception to execution, Mayhem wouldn't be what it is without Michael Polansky's unwavering presence. Gaga's Instagram message captured it beautifully: "Dreaming up this album, making the plan, building every vision with you… you work so so hard with me from dawn till dusk." She expressed profound gratitude for how much he loves her fans and cares about making them feel seen, calling herself "the luckiest girl alive" to have his blood, sweat, and tears helping bring her vision to life.
Her admiration continued to flow as she declared him a "true renaissance man," praising his boundless talents and kind heart—ending with a soaring line, "You are MY artist of the year. And the love of my life."

Gaga's VMA winning speech had an impact that went beyond accolades and glitz. She talked about how art is a shared path and a discipline that would undoubtedly touch people's souls and foster understanding. She then dedicated her victory to 'Little Monsters' and, most poignantly, to Michael Polansky, her partner in everything. This public recognition highlighted a close creative partnership; he co-wrote songs like 'Disease,' and 'Vanish into You,' and his proposal suggestion influenced the emotional depth of songs like 'Blade of Grass.'
Her tribute to Polansky proves that behind every icon, there can be a steadfast partner shaping both life and art.
