Lady Gaga Shares ‘Traditional’ Upbringing + Musical Foundation in Upcoming ‘Inside the Outside’ MTV Special

In her 'Inside the Outside' special, Lady Gaga tells MTV that she is quite traditional. Wait, what? Traditional? The woman who is fond of going to baseball games while pantless, wearing sky-high platforms and perverting religious imagery in her videos is traditional? No s---!

"I'm really quite traditional, actually, contrary to what some people might think about me. I'm quite traditional in the family sense," Gaga says. Well, that's no surprise, since she speaks openly of her Catholic school girl upbringing in NYC and her love for her grandparents in interviews!

Her parents did help Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta foster what would become the Lady Gaga persona! "My parents got me Stevie Wonder 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' and the Beatles when I was younger," she reveales. "Good choices, mom and dad. Don't spoon-feed me the Beatles and Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen and Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and Elton John and expect for me not to turn out this way." So she wasn't really born that way? We kid, we kid.

Gaga -- who has previously talked to the press about the power she gets from wearing wigs and outrageous couture -- talks about the time she purchased her first wig and when she was cast as Adelaide in her high school's production of 'Guys and Dolls.'

'Lady Gaga: Inside the Outside' also covers other Gagalicious topics, such as her close relationship with her family and growing up in NYC before moving to the Lower East Side to be bitten by big teeth of the Fame Monster.

The special airs Thursday, May 26, at 9PM and 11PM ET/PT on MTV. And in case you forgot, 'Born This Way' is out May 23.
