Just a place for Little Monsters to submit their stories and/or pictures of meeting Gaga :)

I wanted to make this post once I got my actual photo with her, but a lot of people have been asking me to post about it anyway.

So on Friday Feb 8th at the Born This Way Ball in Toronto I was front center with a few of my friends. During the show, Gaga made eye contact with me during every song she performed that wasn’t at the back of the pit. She smiled and waved at me so many times I couldn’t handle it. During Marry The Night, she noticed my friend Lucas (he’s been a fan for almost 5 years) and grabbed his hand and told her security to bring him on stage. She then pointed to my friend Laura and brought her on stage. I looked at Gaga and pointed to myself with the biggest smile on my face and then she pointed at me and said “and bring her too” and I nearly shat myself. I literally could not fucking believe I was on stage WITH Lady Gaga and my friends in front of like 18,000 people.

I didn’t expect to cry, but seeing her right there in front of me made me break down. I started crying and she smiled at me and I went over and gave her the biggest hug ever. It was the craziest moment. The 8 of us that were on stage were just hugging each other and rejoicing pretty much. She would look at me and sing the lyrics and just omg dkdhsjs ;-;. We ran around the pit catwalk and danced and cheered. At the end of the song we were all placed on that piece of stage that lowers and I thought that was it until my friend Alex said “I think were going backstage”. I didn’t believe him until her team told us to wait off to the side.

We were led backstage to sit with the Virgin Mobile winner, the keyholder and some other people waiting to meet her. Joe (her dad) came and talked to us and he was saying how proud he is of his daughters and all that. He took a picture of us on his phone which was pretty cool.

After about an hour, we were led out into the hallway and told to form a line. 10 minutes after that she came out in the cutest fucking outfit of life. Her voice was really soft and she looked really happy. She didn’t say much about ARTPOP except that each song will talk about something different and that the album doesn’t have a particular theme per say. She also said that she doesn’t call herself a celebrity and that she doesn’t want her fans to view her that way. She truly just wants the fans to enjoy her artistry. This was really crazy because as of recently, I started to feel different about her not in a bad way but I just wanted to be here more for the music and the art rather than putting her on a throne and worshipping her type of thing.

This time around, I didn’t cry I just gave her a huge and said that I’ve been waiting to meet her for so so long and she said that she’s also been waiting. We took our picture together and I asked her to sign my ticket. She asked for my name which she struggled with for a bit lol (my names Queosha) but after she wrote it she said she thought it was so pretty and she loved it. I gave her another hug and just said thank you and she called me a little muffin and she said she thought I was “really cute” and said “you’re very beautiful” and I just said thank you so much and I was then escorted out.

This was the craziest thing I have ever experienced. I watched videos for months of fans getting pulled on stage and I was so happy for them (and slightly jealous) but I literally envisioned that moment for me for so long and it finally happened. I always pictured that I would be completely inconsolable and wouldn’t be able to speak but it was the opposite. I just felt like I was meeting a best friend for the first time. It felt natural and just really good. I hope that if I ever get to meet her again I can tell her everything’s she done for me but if not I’m so so grateful for this experience.

I love her so much ahhh ;-;

This night trumps every time I’ve ever met Gaga combined. She spent 20 minutes with me and my best friends talking about so many things. It was so cool to just hang out with her like she was one of our friends. Even my picture came out amazing. 

[sexualintercourse]

Lady Gaga was eating dinner with Taylor Kinney and a few friends at a restaurant that was five minutes away from my house. I found out and rushed over and we waited for like 2 hours and it was cool because there weren’t really any other fans there. She was sitting by the window and we knocked and she waved and kissed the glass and we asked for a picture so she put on her sunglasses waved for us to come in. So we go in the restaurant and she is so fucking drunk and we get pictures with her (Taylor Kinney took this one, o0o0o0) and I told her she was my hero and that the Marry The Night video was THE FUCKING BEST and she was like “aww thank you” and then my friends took their pictures and we started getting stuff signed and she was like I LOVE MY FANS!!!!! and my friend got her hand signed and when she was done signing her hand, Gaga grabbed my hand to sign it and then realized she already signed something for me so she kissed my hand (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and then we all just took more pictures and were kind of just hanging out with her and joking around and it was really relaxed and funny because everyone was so drunk. So then we were gonna leave and I said I wanted a hug, so I leaned in to hug her and she was rubbing my back and hugged me for a reallllyyyy long time (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and I told her I love her so much and that she changed my life and is a huge inspiration for me and then we left and I died and oh my god best night of my life what the fuck! (sorry this is all one large run on sentence)

I had the luck of being in Mother Monster’s presence on this day (December 1st) two years ago. I remember anxiously waiting in the dance practice room of the theater for hours until she finally walked through the door to greet her fans. Her bodyguard said I looked like a “mini Gaga” with my blonde hair and outfit at the time. She commented on how she liked my tights! What a compliment. She was the sweetest and so soft spoken but in our brief encounter I remember telling her about how people constantly make fun of me on the street and in school about the way I dressed and my hair and my general ‘out there-ness’. She told me that the best thing I could do was to continue being myself and as long as my actions are pure and come from the heart I win & also, fuck the haters. I’ll never forget the simple but impactful advice she gave me that night!

[monsterstories]

I came here going to submit my story and it's already here! :')))

[rebelofnyc]

Last night~

I’m doing this instead of a video because i’m too lazy to make a video. 

Anyway, so we got there at like 6pm, and of course Gaga isn’t there yet so we got in line and waited. Now at this point it’s probably 40 degrees, and it was pouring rain. So at around 715, Gaga drives right past us and around the corner (we were really far away from the entrance near the back of the line). I literally screamed MY QUEENIEJNED lol it was funny. Ok so then Brennan came and we partied. Then as we were freezing our asses off at like 10pm still outside Gaga sent us all crumbs cupcakes and it was fab.

Then these two guys infront of us were so drunk and they started fighting and then one of them left and it was so scary so we all huddled together under the umbrellas and we made up a prayer where we do the sign of the cross and say in the name of the Gaga and the Yuyi and the Jo Calderone Amen Fashion hahahaha. So this whole time Brennan didn’t have a ticket and he was going to try to guilt the security guards into letting him into the building. Luckily Airik came by and he told us all about Gaga and what she said to him and Brennan asked him if he would be allowed in without a ticket, an Airik probably not so he GAVE BRENNAN HIS TICKET. We scrubbed off the black x’s on the ticket and WE GOT BRENNAN INSIDE.

So once we got inside they made us give all of our gifts to the security and we had to put our umbrellas down. As I got closer I started to convulse and shake because I was so nervous and Gaga was literally 10 feet from me. I put my bag down on a table, and right before I went up the steps Terry went somewhere to go to the bathroom. So literally I was standing 5 feet from Gaga and I couldn’t talk to her omg I was dead. She put her feet up on the table and did like a fierce monster paw and started texting with her feet up on the table I was D E A D. While we were inside Born This Way the album was blasting and Bloody Mary started playing and Brennan and I were screaming the words and it was so funny. Finally Terry came back and I was allowed to go up to Gaga. I feel so bad but I completely didn’t say anything to Terry and I just went straight for Gaga. This is how the conversation went:

Gaga: Hello sweetie!

Me: Hi! I just wanted to let you know that you save my life-

Gaga: Aw you save my life every day!

Me: I was bullied the same way you were like I was thrown in a puddle and my books were thrown in the garbage. If you weren’t here I don’t think I would be either.

Gaga: Everything will always be better, and I’m glad you’re here now~

Me: omg can I have a hug?

Gaga: Sure sweetie! 

So then I hugged her and we took the picture and I think I accidentally stabbed her with my studs. 

So that’s what happened and I still can’t believe it. 

[monsterstories]

Back in January 2010, I had the pleasure of attending the second to last Monster Ball Meet and Greet that Gaga ever did. It was me and my best friend Chris. We met her after the show and she was just so, so amazing. She is so quiet and sweet. I gave her a flag that I decorated and told her she needed to come visit Texas because she didn't get to on the first leg of the Monster Ball Tour. I also gave her a heartfelt note and she read it right there. She's just so understanding and I feel like all of us Monsters can truly relate to her. And most of all, I know from meeting her that she really does love us. And she realizes just how much we love her. I took my pic with her and told her I wanted to do the hand-heart pose. My sister had told me I had to do something special for her, so I did. This is one of my favorite pictures of all time. It's framed and it's on my counter. I will cherish it forever. I hope to meet her again someday. She's brought so much joy into my life. Two days after I got back from meeting her, I met the most important person in my life. -My girlfriend, Breonnna. I wouldn't have ever met her if it hadn't been for Gaga. So I owe her so much gratitude even though she has no idea what she's done. Breonna has never gotten to meet Gaga. I want to make it happen for her because she's been a fan since the very beginning and she deserves it even more than I did. I hope she gets to meet her very soon. We'll be going to New York again in February, so fingers crossed. But the BTW Ball is coming very soon. Good luck to all Little Monsters! I love you guys so much! See you soon.

If you've already met Gaga already and you got her autograph then, would you ask for another if you met her again?

Personally, I probably would lol. I wouldn't push others out of the way to get it but if I got the chance I would. I didn't get one when I met her :c I was too excited to remember to do anything except word vomit about what she means to me. next time I will!

My story meeting mother monster.

Me and my friend arrived at the Beacon Theater early saturday morning, at about 8 AM. We walked around the theater, looking for the stage door to see if there would be a place to wait for Gaga to enter. We finally found the stage door at around 8:10, and there were only around 3-4 people waiting in there Born this Way jackets behind some barricades. We stood behind them, since my friend isn't that much of a fan of Gaga she stood in back of me to give dedicated little monsters their opportunity to meet her. We stood there, at the same spot, for hours and hours. I was so determined to meet her i hadn't eaten anything the whole day we were there. So around 7 hours after waiting at the same exact spot, people started filling out the space (at the time, there still weren't may people there) and a car pulled up across the street, with everyone squinting and looking in, we had spotted gaga, in the front seat. She got out of the car and immediately everyone, including me, started calling out "GAGA! GAGA!", she turned around and took a look at the small crowd, then started for the stage door. Everyone thought that was it, once she went inside, everyone started to talk about her going in for the day and people next to us were saying she just went in and wasn't to come out again until the event was over. Me and my friend thought that was it for the day, we weren't going to get anything. What i would say was around 30 minutes later, she came back out again and waved at all of us, she then disappeared into the trailer, and everyone finally became hopeful that she was going to come back out again and greet us. Another half hour later, she came out again, this time blowing us a kiss and leaving into the stage door once again. But this time, her driver who was parked in front of us, backed out of the way, and i clearly remember him saying "alright girls!" . my heart stopped, i knew that she was going to come out any moment. Everyone saw her body guard come out and started to scream. About a minute later, my idol, the woman who means everything to me, Lady Gaga, came towards us. I started shaking uncontrollably and i honestly thought that i was going to faint. She finally arrived right in front of me, and people kept pushing and squishing me so when i had asked her for a picture she couldn't hear me over the screaming. I desperately started pushing towards her to retain my spot, by the time people loosened up around me, she had already been all the way at the far end of the newly developed, huge, crowd. I repeated to the people we were talking to all day "this is it, i waited all morning and i don't think i'm getting anything". all of a sudden she came back to the section i was in, and i gently asked, smiling at this time, "Gaga, can i get a pict–" and before i could finish the sentence, she said "yes" or "of course" something along those lines, it was a blur because i was in such a shock at that time. The security guards were telling her to leave but she still came to me. She then held my hand to get down to me, into the crowd where her bodyguard surrounded us so people couldn't touch her, she then held my arm, came so close to me, and i took the picture. After it was taken we both looked to see if it was captured and i quickly said "thank you! i love you so much!" and she then smiled also very quickly replied "love you too" and walked away into the stage door again. i ran to my friend and i broke down crying, my friend held me tight in her arms and i said "we did it" i had never gotten any way close to Gaga in my life so this moment was to special for me. i remembered sitting at the monsterball and crying to her inspirational speeches, i know actually got a chance to meet her, i just couldn't believe it. She was so sweet to and didn't let me down. It was truly the best day of my life and i am forever grateful, if i never get a chance to meet her again, that's okay because i had my moment and that's all that matters to me :)

jaydeygaga:

Waiting nearly six hours for Lady Gaga didn’t even matter anymore, as she finally stepped out of the ITV studios in London. I knew I was going to be shaken up, but I didn’t think i’d be as bad as I was. She gracefully came out of the building, stood there for a second, then walked along the line of Little Monsters waiting behind the gate for her. There was easily about 100 of us spread across the gate, and during the time we were waiting, we all sung her songs together and chanted her name. It was like we were a little community, it was beautiful. Anyway, I started shaking and tearing up as she came out, she wasn’t insight for me anymore, but the screams were getting closer and closer as she made her way up the line. When I could see her again, my brain completely froze and I just cried and stood there shaking. I could barely stand. I wrote her a letter which Chloerayne took out of my hand to give to her, I couldn’t get any words out so it was probably best she done that for me. As she approached us, Chloerayne handed her the letter and said ‘this is for you’, she said ‘thank you’ in her beautifully sweet voice. My throat completely closed up and I couldn’t say anything I wanted to, I didn’t know what to do but to cry with my arms held out in a helpless fashion. She held my hand, looked up and smiled and moved on to sign something for the person next to me. If I wasn’t crying much before, I was now in hysterics and I didn’t even know what to do or where to look. I managed to take this photograph of her, and I shall now literally treasure it with my life. It was obviously too busy to get photographs with her, and paparazzi were pushing all over the place. One even asked me if he could put his camera inbetween me and Chloerayne in which I simply said no and told him to do one. After she made her way up the line, she walked back to her car, blew and kiss and of course, put her paw up. 

Lady Gaga has been my absolute idol for two years, and I never ever thought i’d have to opportunity to briefly meet her. There was so many things I wish I said, or did, but i’m so pleased she has my letter. It reads how much she means to me, my dedication for her with my tattoos and how many times i’ve seen her live, and of course that I love her. As she walked back to the car, the letter was still gripped in her hands and I hope (actually, I know) she read it whilst in the car. Just the way she held my hand was so special, everything she does feels so sincere and honest. I just didn’t think i’d be as much of a hysterical mess as I was.

Gaga is living proof no matter how famous you are, you can still always have time for your fans. I will now try my best to attend any appearances she does in London in the future, just purely to relive that moment again. It all seems so surreal and I cant really believe it’s actually happened.

I love you Mother Monster, thank you. xo

MMVA 2011 Never forget this weekend <3

Meeting Gaga on June 15th at the Little Monster Video Awards :)

On the 15th of June, my dream finally came true. I was to attend the 'Little Monster Video Awards' in Paris because me & @MMathieu_R finished 6th out of 25 videos. We arrived at about 5pm and waited in line for I don't know how long because we all know that @ladygaga wasn't on time ! But hey we finally got in front row centimetres away from the stage. We waited & waited and at one point, we got called by a manager and they told us to come at the back on the left on the stage. We immediatly understood what had happened: We were one of the three videos chosen by Gaga to be the winners ! I burst out into tears and moments later Gaga came on, more beautiful than ever and started performing Born This Way. I couldn't believe I was about to go onstage and meet the woman I've looked up to for so damn long. She called up the first winner and he accepted his award but he wasn't a REAL monster only a fan I guess. Then Gaga went backstage for a few minutes & came out to perform You & I RIGHT in front of us, we were actually like 10 centimeters away from her no joke. At one point she noticed me because I was raising my paw so high screaming and cheering so she gave me a cute little wave and pointed to me for like 10 seconds. It's as if she was performing just for me. Then I knew what was about to happen. I was about to go onstage with @ladygaga. Suddenly, our video started playing on the big screen and everyone was cheering and clapping for it. Then she didn't know if she should call me or @MMathieu_R and someone yelled "OLIVIA" so she called my name out, I went onstage and immediatly ran in her arms and squeezed her as tight as I could. She gave me a huge kiss and I gave her the fanbook ; she really looked happy. I then told her “Gaga, I’m @AlwaysLadyGaga the monster you tweeted do you remember me?” and she smiled and said “Yes I do remember you” I was like holy hooker! Then she gave @MMathieu_R the award and hugged him too, and then she gave me the microphone to do the speech! I decided to go hug her again because I couldn't resist it. Then I took the mic and went in front of 900 people cheering and screaming for me (of which @FedouaLovesGaga and @AlefuckinJandro who were front row) & thanked everybody for helping us win such a prize. I mentioned some monsters in the crowd that I knew and I screamed "MONSTEEEEERS" and raised my paw & apparently @ladygaga was sitting down behing me, smilling and staring at me in wonder. Then, I ran to her and leaped on her to give her the biggest hug yet. I was crying so much and telling her how much I loved her. After that guess what happened? She whispered in my ear "I'll meet you after, okay ?" and I was like OH MY GODGA this is frigging UNREAL so I went like "okay" and got off the stage crying so frigging much I couldn't believe what had happened. Then I went near to the front of the stage and watched in amazement her Edge of Glory performance; she poured champagne all over us and she looked so goddamn happy & her voice was beyond amazing. Then she left but we knew that we were about to meet Queen Gaga once more. We went to get the fanbook that had stayed on the chair on the stage and went up and waited for some time. Then they said we could go in so we did and there she was sitting on a small couch and when we came in she said to me "Hiii again" with a big smile and I felt like I was in heaven. She told us that our video was the best and that all of her staff loved it and she really thought it was amazing. I gave her the fanbook again & she scrowled through the pages and loved the drawings and I told her to look at all the monsters that had helped with the video (a list at the end of the book). She was so happy to see so many drawings with her blue wig ! She said "I will make sure to cherish this." Then I reminded her again "So you remember who I am? @AlwaysLadyGaga the monster you tweeted" and she said "Of course I do" and smiled. Then I gave her my Rolling Stone magasine and she wrote "Olivia, Born This Way" and then asked me how to say "I will always remember" in french so I told her the spelling and she wrote it "Je me souviendrai toujours" and then signed it. She signed our award too and @MMathieu_R's Born This Way album cover. Then we took official pictures with her as she was holding the book proudly. I was over the moon. Then I told her I loved her once more and we left. After months and months of struggle and pain, I FINALLY got to meet @ladygaga TWICE in one night. I feel so proud of myself, nobody can take this away from me, nobody ♥

[monsterstories]

I met Gaga at the Born This Way signing in NYC, and it was one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life.

My roommates and I live in North Carolina, and we had planned to take a trip to NYC to celebrate graduating from college months beforehand.  It just so happened to coincide with when the album was scheduled to be released.  As we were in the car driving up on a Wednesday, a friend of mine texted me that Gaga would be doing a CD signing that Monday.  Needless to say, I freaked out.  How often does an opportunity like that come up?

My roommates had planned to leave that Sunday, so I said goodbye to them around 6:30PM and then headed over to Union Square where the Best Buy was.  There was already a small group of little monsters in the central square across from the store hanging out because they wouldn't let us line up yet.  We talked, played Gaga music, and got more and more excited about the prospect of meeting our idol.  Eventually they let us line up in the barricades, and we all screamed a countdown to midnight for the official iTunes release of Born This Way.  What a magical moment.

At 8AM after spending a long night in the cold and rain on the streets of NYC, they started handing out wristbands for the signing.  Getting that really made the whole thing real for me.  I would be meeting Lady Gaga.  I didn't know anybody before the signing, but I made some wonderful friends, and we spent the day just talking and hanging out.  While we were waiting in line,  we were interviewed for various television and radio shows, and Gaga's people even brought by boxes and boxes of Subway sandwiches!  They also filmed my friends and I saying "Thank you for the Subway sandwiches, Gaga!"

When the time came for us to actually get into the store for the signing, the excitement had become almost overwhelming.  There were cameras everywhere, and the same woman who filmed our Subway message earlier came around again and said "Say hello to Gagavision!"  Of course that was the episode we never actually got...but it was still amazing!  We also met Gaga's bodyguard, who was super nice.

When it was finally my turn to go up on stage, my heart was racing.  I had planned out a little speech in my head for what I was going to say, but as soon as I got up there, my mind blanked.  I was completely and utterly starstruck!  I'm surprised I remembered my own name when she asked.  She was so beautiful, kind, and genuine, something I could tell even in the brief minute or two that we spoke.  I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

If it's even possible, meeting Gaga made me love her even more.

[monsterstories]

Best Day of my fuckin life. an i will never forget it ! <3 Paws Up i was so in shock i didnt no what to say to her 

[monsterstories]

The best feeling in the world.

I met Gaga for the first time on 9/13/2011 in front of her hotel in NYC. I would post a picture about it, but I don't have a good photo with her. it's all blurry :C 

anyway, it was us and a couple of other monsters at Nicola's Pop Up Shop in NYC. (ANY NYC MONSTER SHOULD GO BEFORE HE CLOSES IT!) and I had brought my best friend Fernando with me because he is in LOVE with Gaga as well. Our initial intention was to go there, check the shop out, hang out with some of the nyc monsters, and that's it. We ended up going there, I bought one thing, and we ran with the monsters to her hotel. Fernando and I jumped the subway. xD we're bad kids.

So, we got to the hotel and we just waited. And waited, and waited. We were starting to lose hope. A lot of monsters started to leave. Then it ended up being like 12 of us or so. Maybe less. All of a sudden we see her luggage go in, that excited us. So we decided to wait a little longer. A couple other monsters scoped the area out and they saw her two trucks that she rolls in. But, they were all empty. So, that confused us, and we  started to think that she had left. 

10 minutes later, WAM. She's walking up to the front of the building. Cameras are flashing, people are crying/screaming/asking for photos, and she's just there saying "Hii guys, after this I'm going up stairs. I'm tired." and she looked tired, too. I'm surprised she had patience for all of us. 

I was the second to last one to take a photo. I kept asking, then she looked at me, and reached out for me, allowing me to take a photo with her. I got so excited, I was shaking the whole time. The girl that took the photo, her hands where shaking so the photo I had came out blurry. 

god, this was just an amazing moment. even if it happened so fast. <3
