During her appearance, Gaga opened up about connecting to her character Ally, working with Bradley Cooper, and the film’s emotional final scene – filmed just hours after a close friend passed away.
“We wrote that song…it’s very special. It’s a song that he writes for her. It has a very tragic twist at the end. We shot it at The Shrine, which Bradley wanted to do as an homage to the Judy Garland version,” she explained.
“On that day, my friend Sonja who’d been battling cancers for years, her friend called me…I could hear her moaning in the background,” Gaga said. “I left the set…I can’t believe I didn’t even stop to see Bradley, and I got in my car and started driving, and I missed her by ten minutes.”
