Gaga got into a spot of bother at a Yankees game, when she flipped off the cameras from Jerry Seinfeld’s private box.

“I guess I was my true New York 24-year-old Italian girl who grew up here and how dare you set me up?” Gaga told Vanity Fair.

“I want to go to things like ball games, but when I go to the ball game, they’re going to write the story that will sell papers. Look, I’m not an idiot—I recognise that I’m a public figure and I’m going to be recognised if I’m wearing a bikini or a potato sack.”

“The trade-off is I get to see the Yankees, and what the Yankees mean to me in my soul as a young person from New York is more important to me than my reputation in terms of the tabloids.”

“My real fans know who I truly am, and they know what I represent and what I mean, and my music and my performance is what really speaks.”
