Watch | Lady Gaga Writes Emotional Tribute to Fiancé After VMA Victory: ‘You Are My Artist of the Year’

Hollywood actress and musician Lady Gaga took the time to publicly thank her fiancé, Michael Polansky, after her MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) victory.

She posted two sweet snaps on Instagram: the first in black and white, where she is snuggled up with Michael, and the second where she is looking adoringly at him. In addition to the pictures, she wrote a heartfelt letter explaining how Michael has stood by her side during all highs and lows.

Lady Gaga was recognized as Artist of the Year during the beginning of the VMAs and was also awarded Best Collaboration for her song Die with a Smile, a collaboration with Bruno Mars. The song, which was originally released as a stand-alone single on August 16, 2024, was subsequently used as the final song on Gaga's studio album Mayhem.

In her blog, Gaga stated, "Dreaming up this album, making the plan, building every vision with you--talking endlessly about what we would create and do for monsters has been an experience I could not have ever imagined. I love how much you love my fans and want them to be happy.". It makes my heart so happy how much you love them because we get to love them every day together, you care as much as I do that people feel seen in the world. I'm eternally grateful for how much you love and fight for me. You toil so so hard with me from sunrise till sunset each day living the music, performances, and plans with your blood sweat and tears, to see it through every step of the way this year I am the luckiest girl alive. I love you endlessly.

She went on, "Having your creative partnership in our art, business and in love--is a love I've never known.". I know you to be a man of many skills, a renaissance man, your intelligent mind and sweet heart are what put the sparkle on your gem. I've witnessed that you can do anything. You are MY artist of the year. And the love of my life. Thanks for turning all our MAYHEM fantasies into reality. I love you P.S. This is the picture by by by our bedside.
