'I cherish my loneliness' Lady Gaga on split from Vampire Diaries star Taylor Kinney

CEBU, Philippines - She’s adored by millions, but Lady Gaga has revealed she’s most comfortable in her own company.

The Judas hitmaker - who recently split with Vampire Diaries star Taylor Kinney - admitted she began cherishing her ‘loneliness’ at the age of 20 when she decided to seriously pursue a career in the music industry.

She said, ‘I was very depressed when I was 19. I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn’t want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.

‘I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself.’

Gaga is said to have called time on her relationship with Kinney because she wants to concentrate on her career. (FREEMAN)
