Lady Gaga's split with Taylor Kinney "absolutely" influenced her new album.
The pair called off their engagement in July, after five years of dating, and Gaga says that her new record Joanne - named after her late aunt - was influenced by the men in her life.
When asked if her relationship with Taylor influenced the album, Gaga replied, "Absolutely" and added: "When you listen to the album, it's clear the influence that all the men in my life have made on this record. That's at the middle of it, as well: I always wanted to be a good girl. And Joanne was such a good girl.
"But I have such a rebellious spirit, and my father was always very angry. He drank because of his sister's death. I was trying to understand him through making this record, and in that, also trying to understand why I love men that are cowboys."
