"Well, Joaquin's heard my whole seventh album, and you should just follow him around," the "Telephone" singer said, before Madeley noted that Phoenix had his headphones on when he came into the interview.
"Did I?" he asked.
On Friday, Sept. 27, the "Bad Romance" artist released her latest studio album, Harlequin, which she cheekily dubbed as "6.5" on billboards and is a companion album to the upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux.
The entire record is full of covers, aside from two original songs called "Happy Mistake" and "Folie à Deux." Gaga worked on the project with fiancé Michael Polansky who served as a co-executive producer on the album with Gaga. The couple are co-writers on four tracks: "Good Morning," "Get Happy," "Oh, When the Saints" and "If My Friends Could See Me Now."
