Chart-topping hit music, bold fashion, and numerous accolades (including an Oscar nomination for acting and a Best Original Song win for “Shallow” from A Star Is Born in 2018) haven’t come without personal and professional challenges, some of which she shares in her 2017 documentary, Gaga: Five Foot Two.
“I feel very grateful for the career I’ve had,” the singer tells PEOPLE. “I feel very grateful for my fans. Plus, I think I had a lot of trouble at one point.”
