Singer-songwriter and actor Lady Gaga shared that she recieved some encouragement from her fiance, Michael Polansky, right before taking the stage at her Mayhem Ball tour stop in her hometown of New York City, where her dreams of stardom were born, reported People.

"I think about walking on the concrete, going all around the city and just -- I remember fighting really hard, fighting really hard for my dreams and what I believed in and for myself," she told the audience during her concert.

"I was with my friend China before the show... and I said to her, I think I might just fight my way through this whole show, cause when I'm in New York, I fight. I gotta earn it, and I gotta go for it," she added.
