Lady Gaga Admits To Being ‘Broke’ During 2009 Monster Ball Tour

 “I had 3 million dollars in the bank to my name and I threw it all in to make my stage. So I was bankrupt during the show.”

 “I remember I went home and I was with my dad and he said, ‘I don’t understand. ‘Bad Romance’ is out. You are all over the radio. Everyone is talking about you and you don’t have a pot to piss in.’ I said, ‘Just let me do this. Let me just put it on the stage because I think if I can do this I can get Arthur Fogel’s attention.’ And I did.”
