周一晚，iHeartRadio 音乐奖在星光熠熠中拉开帷幕，Lady Gaga获得年度创新先锋奖。在发表获奖感言时，感谢了麦当娜、大卫·鲍威等前辈。同时她表示，“世界不需要另一个复制品，它迫切需要你的原创。”
Thank you, Doechii.
I'm really deeply touched by your words, and that video was crazy.
I don't know totally how to think about this because winning an award honoring my entire career at 38 years old is a hard thing to get my head around.
On the one hand, I feel like I've been doing this forever, and on the other hand, I know I'm just getting started.
So even though the world might consider a woman in her late 30s old for a pop star, which is insane, I promise that I'm just getting warmed up.
Innovation isn't about breaking rules.
It's about writing your own and convincing the world they were theirs all along.
Like showing up to the Grammys in an egg or creating an anthem that everyone told us was too controversial until it became undeniable.
If I have learned anything in three decades I've been at this, it's that the most powerful innovation is your authenticity.
Every time I was the only woman in the room, the loudest voice was inside my own head telling me not to compromise.
