Journalist Alejandro Roldán recently shared the story of his interview with Lady Gaga in 2008 and how the same artist granted him an exclusive in 2011, remembering him as the reporter who first interviewed her when she visited Mexico City. At that time, despite Lady Gaga not having great recognition, the interview was not published by any outlet, remaining archived until she returned as a well-established star in 2011.
Roldán described Lady Gaga in 2008 as a simple and cheerful person, grateful for the initial interview. When the singer returned to Mexico, she remembered and thanked him again. Although many media outlets claimed it was Lady Gaga's first time visiting the country in 2011, the journalist proved otherwise, ultimately managing to publish the interview.
The journalist mentioned that he has several similar stories with other famous artists, mentioning his experiences with Taylor Swift and Britney Spears. At the beginning of her career, Lady Gaga had a performance in Mexico, but most media showed no interest in interviewing her, with Alejandro Roldán being the only one willing to do so.
In a video shared on TikTok, Alejandro Roldán explained that he agreed to interview Lady Gaga in 2008 at the request of the record label since no one else wanted to do it. He recounted how he decided to support the artist, who was not recognized at that time. The interview became a cherished memory for Mexican fans, remembering Lady Gaga's gesture of gratitude towards the journalist.
