A Career Turning Point
Despite her great success and huge global fan base, it may come as a surprise to learn that Lady Gaga did not always take her own music seriously, as she didn’t have the confidence in herself.

This mindset completely changed after a chance conversation with none other than American singer-songwriter Akon, who was, by this time, at the height of his successful career. He encouraged Lady Gaga to focus on her own music and her own success, and she cites this as being a turning point in her outlook and, consequently, her career.
