Lady Gaga Defends Geisha at AMA

(UPDATED) Mother monster Lady Gaga defends Katy Perry’s geisha-inspired American Music Awards 2013 performance of “Unconditionally”, reportedly accused of being racially and culturally insensitive.

The 29-year-old singer performed her new single “Unconditionally” on the awards show while dressed in a long floral kimono and had her hair styled in the typical updo with bangs.

Lady Gaga said in an interview with Carson Daly on Los Angeles’ AMP Radio. “Maybe it’s because ‘Unconditionally’ means you’re supposed to love no matter what geishas are paid?”.

“I think people are generally too sensitive and they should just leave her be, but you know, I’m not really the person to ask.” Gaga added.
