Lady Gaga: 'We need to talk about these issues in a deeper way'

Superstar Lady Gaga has revealed that performing 'Till It Happens To You' at the Oscars felt like a 'turning point' because it was bringing the issue of sexual assault into the spotlight. 

During an interview with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, the beauty explained that pushing these topics into the forefront is helpful because it forces people to confront them and have important conversations:

“I will never forget it because I'm forever changed because I don't have to hide anymore, because I don't have to feel ashamed that it happened. I’m not the dirt on the bottom of people's shoes because I went through this."

"Theres so many people in the world that feel alone and this song—it heals them by bringing them together and it also reminds people that don't feel alone to feel empathy for others," she added.

"If we don't talk about these world issues in a deep way, we're not going to solve any of these problems. I thought that the Oscars was such a turning point for the world."
