As BWW reported earlier today, superstar Lady Gaga was named Billboard's 2015 Woman of the Year. In the magazine's annual Women in Music issue, the Grammy winner spoke about her magnificent SOUND OF MUSIC tribute which she performed with Julie Andrews watching from the wings during the 2015 Academy Awards.

"The truth is you can either nail a performance like that or butcher some of the most classic songs sung by an all-time great," Gaga tells Billboard. I took the gamble because everyone had written me off. It took me a long time to get those notes."

The singer goes on to share that she practiced with a vocal coach every day for two months in preparation for the performance and also abstained from working on new music.

Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter Lady Gaga has sold over 27-million albums, 130-million singles, and over 4-million tickets globally to her award-winning live performances.

Lady Gaga has won a total of 6 GRAMMY AWARDS - her most recent this week for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Cheek To Cheek, her 2014 collaboration with Tony Bennett, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. She can currently be seen on TV in FX's AMERICAN HORROR STORY: HOTEL.
