Born This Way Video
Born this way Lady Gaga, new video from the Grammy. Before now little has been revealed about the video for Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” but details about the clip finally are spilling out. It was directed by longtime Gaga collaborator Jonas Åkerlund, who also just wrapped up work on Britney Spears’ “Hold It Against Me” video.
A source tells Hollywoodlife.com that the video is “[Gaga's] love letter to the homosexual community,” adding that the pop singer tackles the repealed “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy she was so vocal about in 2010.
Gaga reportedly spent this first week of February editing the video in a New York City hotel. “The team took over two suites in the Greenwich Hotel for editing, and the singer only works at night, from 10:30 p.m. to 7 a.m., because she spends all day rehearsing for the Grammys,” the source says.
The clip reportedly took more than four days to shoot in New York, Gaga’s hometown. “She approaches herself as Gaga in the gender-bending video and there are references to Jo Calderone, the male model [character] she portrayed in the September issue of Vogue Hommes Japan,” the source adds.
