Lady Gaga recently opened up about the deeply emotional and tragic experience she went through on September 11, 2001, during the horrific terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, a day that has left an indelible mark on the collective memory of the United States.
The international pop sensation revealed that she was just 15 years old at the time when she bore witness to the shocking events of that fateful day. The 9/11 attacks, masterminded by Al-Qaeda terrorists, involved the hijacking of two planes that were subsequently flown into the iconic Twin Towers of New York. The world watched in disbelief as the World Trade Center crumbled, resulting in the heartbreaking loss of nearly 2,977 lives.
Recalling those chilling moments, Lady Gaga expressed, “We were unable to fathom the terrifying unfolding of events.”
In a recent appearance on MTV, the “Bad Romance” hitmaker shared a detailed account of her experience during that unforgettable day. She recounted, “In a state of disbelief over the news we were seeing on TV, we all gathered on the rooftop. One tower had already fallen, and we witnessed the collapse of the other right before our eyes.”
The superstar went on to reveal the personal anguish she felt, as her mother worked in close proximity to the World Trade Center. The inability to contact her mother during those chaotic hours filled Lady Gaga with profound anxiety and distress.
Lady Gaga marked the anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy by taking a moment to remember and pay tribute to the victims who lost their lives in the devastating attack. She emphasized the significance of the day, saying, “It’s a moment to honor New York. It’s a time for us to come together and recognize that New York has been forever altered and will always remain a resilient family.”
Her reflections serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of the September 11 attacks, both on the nation as a whole and on the individuals who lived through that tragic day. Lady Gaga’s words convey the depth of emotion and the profound sense of loss that continues to be felt by many, even two decades after the devastating events of 9/11.
