Lady Gaga's 'Joanne' Made Her Mom Cry

Lady Gaga has scooped together quite the list of collaborators for her upcoming fifth album, Joanne, including "Uptown Funk" producer (among many other things) Mark Ronson and country writer Hillary Lindsey. Entertainment Weekly got their paws on the two musical wizards, who gave up some inside scoop on Gaga's writing process.

They tell the story about how Gaga takes care of everyone writing on her record. Ronson says:

“She’d be late to the studio and send me a text like, ‘I’m so sorry, I’m just marinating the chicken!’ Most of my memories [of making Joanne] are non-musical and warm [and] fuzzy, just her over the oven, dressed like a ‘50s girl from the ‘Leader of the Pack’ video, preparing breaded chicken. She took care of everybody." 

EW says that included Gaga doing dishes. “I was like, ‘You know you don’t really have to do that,’” Ronson remembers.
