With the ten year anniversary of 9/11, Lady GaGa has recalled the moment she witnessed the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre fall to the ground after the terrorist attack.
Lady G, who is a native New Yorker, spoke to MTV parent company Viacom about that fatal day in US history, and revealed where she was and what she was doing when the tragic events of September 11th unfolded.
The You And I singer explained: "On September 11, I was at school with my girlfriends. I just remember that the history teachers had us all piled into one room and had a television on and none of us believed it was happening,"
She continued: "So we didn't believe it, so we ran up to the roof and I just remember we got up to the roof, and one tower had already fallen and we all watched the second tower fall all together."
While GaGa was not anywhere near the actual site of the attack in downtown Manhattan, her mother was near it. "I don't know; you really can't describe something like that," she said. "It's too horrific. We were in disbelief. I still think sometimes I'm in disbelief."
Lady G went on: "My dad picked us up, we couldn't reach my mom for a long time because she worked right across the street,"
"We were really nervous and I just remember all we saw were these young men, really young. You could tell they worked on the floor at the stock and they were in their jackets and they were just covered in ashes and all you could see was the lines from the tears on their face."
The 25-year old superstar added: "[My school] was miles and miles away, but the sky that hovered above us was jet black."
