Often, the simplest proposals are the best.
Take it from Lady Gaga, who got engaged last spring to tech entrepreneur Michael Polansky. The heartfelt proposal went on to inspire her new ballad “Blade of Grass,” taken from her latest album “Mayhem.”
“We started working on that song after we got engaged,” Gaga tells USA TODAY. “A long time ago, we were in the backyard and he said, ‘If I ever propose to you, what should I do?’ I said, ‘You can just wrap a blade of grass around my finger and I’ll say yes.’ ”
He went on to pop the question using those very same green bands, Gaga revealed to fans at a “Mayhem” event before the album’s release on March 7. She now has a massive engagement ring featuring a large oval-cut diamond.
Gaga, 38, and Polansky started dating in 2019. Writing “Blade of Grass” helped the pop star to take stock of the happiness and healing she’s found in these last five years.
“It’s a love song between the two of us, but sometimes when we find love in our lives, it can also help us reflect on what it took to get there,” Gaga says. “Standing in my backyard, looking out at the ocean, I was thinking about all the people I’ve left behind or lost along the way. It was this incredibly happy moment and also bittersweet, which is why that record is haunting and beautiful.”
