The 32-year-old took the opportunity to thank her A Star Is Born co-star Bradley Cooper for helping her be Stefani again, and couldnt contain her emotions.
While shimmering in a nude and silver fishtail dress, the Bad Romance songstress wiped her eyes as she praised her new found friend.

You challenged me to deep dive into a place where I had to see her again, be Stefani again.
Gaga was joined on stage with her co-star Sam Elliot, who beamed as the singer gave her speech.

I remember thinking Im glad its raining. This is good.
He added: I was literally telling myself out loud before we arrived at the theatre: no matter what happens, please dont let the outside response contaminate what you experienced, which was having an idea and inspiration and seeing it all the way through the end and making the exact movie that I wanted to make.
