Lady Gaga Says She Wants To 'Explode As I Go Into My 30s'

Lady Gaga is Billboard's "Woman of the Year" and she's got a powerful message to share about aging.

The 29-year-old singer (born Stefani Germanotta) turns 30 in March and she told Billboard she couldn't be more thrilled about it. 

"... I'm really excited about showing girls, and even men, what it can mean to be a woman in her 30s. Why is it that we’re disposing of people once they pass that mark?" Gaga wondered in her interview. "It's suddenly, 'You're an old woman.' I'm not fucking old. I’m more sexual and powerful and intelligent and on my shit than I’ve ever been."

As she enters another decade, Gaga said she wants to use her age as an example for other women in the industry. 

"I want to show women they don’t need to try to keep up with the 19 year olds and the 21 year olds in order to have a hit," said the "Applause" singer. "Women in music, they feel like they need to fucking sell everything to be a star. It’s so sad. I want to explode as I go into my 30s." ISAAC BREKKEN VIA GETTY IMAGES

Though she might sound confident about her place in music now, there was a time when Gaga wasn't so sure she wanted to be a star at all. Gaga told Billboard that in 2014, she doubted her musical direction and wanted to quit pop -- if she could. 

"At the end of 2014, my stylist asked, 'Do you even want to be a pop star anymore?' I looked at him and I go, 'You know, if I could just stop this train right now, today, I would," said Gaga. "I just can't. [But] I need to get off now because I'm going to die.'" 

The singer also talked about wanting to quit music earlier this year, during a talk at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. 

"Why are you unhappy? Why is it that you want to quit music?" said Gaga, taking the audience through her train of thought from a couple of years ago. "I was like, well I really don't like selling these fragrances, perfumes. I don't like wasting my time spending days just shaking people's hands and smiling." 

These days, Gaga is happier. She stars as The Countess on FX's "American Horror Story: Hotel" and recently performed a Frank Sinatra tribute that will air Dec. 6.

Gwen Stefani All But Outright Confirms Reports That Gavin Rossdale Cheated

Gwen Stefani may have a hot new single and a hot new man, but that's not enough to mask the pain of betrayal and divorce from husband Gavin Rossdale, to whom she was married for 13 years.

Stefani has all but outright confirmed reports that Rossdale cheated on her with their kids' nanny and continued to allude to it in an interview with radio host Elvis Duran on Thursday. 

"I went into the studio ... everybody knows, pretty much, what happened to me," Stefani said of her divorce anthem "I Used to Love You." "I got a divorce, which was completely not in the plan at all. I don't know. For me, it surely wasn't. A shock. A horrible, crazy year and explosion in my life."

And while the 46-year-old singer has done her best to move on -- quickly starting a relationship with Blake Shelton, for one -- she does credit the divorce with ending a period of writer's block. 

"At that time, I wanted to go in and write," she explained. "I just wanted to be in my bed crying and do what you do when life falls apart ... Anyways, I went to the studio and I was convinced that I had to make something out of this. 'I'm not going online and wasting my time.'"

The fact that Stefani got a hit song out of the ordeal seems to be a silver lining, which is a sentiment that was also expressed by Shelton after Stefani belted out another emotional performance of the song on "The Voice" earlier this week.

“If you go through whatever she went through to write that song, at least she's getting something good, positive out of it," Shelton told Extra.
