Whilst out on the publicity trail for her latest album, Mayhem, Lady Gaga has revealed her fiancé actually proposed with a blade of grass before presenting her with a diamond ring.
The Poker Face singer, who got engaged to tech founder and investor Michael Polansky last April after ‘a day of rock climbing’, opened up about the sweet moment on the Howard Stern radio show. “He got me two rings, and one of them was the blade of grass and that’s the first one he proposed with,” she shared.
In an earlier interview to the BBC, Gaga had explained that Polansky had previously asked what kind of proposal she would prefer. “A long time ago, we were in the back yard, and he asked me, ‘If I ever proposed to you, like, how do I do that?'”
“And I just said, ‘Just get a blade of grass from the back yard and wrap it around my finger and that will make me so happy'”, the singer confirmed.
Unbeknownst to Gaga, Polansky had then had blades of grass set into a green resin ring, which is what he first used to ask for her hand. “I love them both,” she said about the romantic jewels. “But the blade of grass…you can’t replace something that has a meaning like that.”
Lady Gaga officially debuted her fabulous diamond ring at the Venice Film Festival, where she premiered her film Joker: Folie à Deux. The stunning oval-cut white diamond ring is thought to weigh up to 20 carats, and is potentially worth between $500,000 and $2 million.
Previously, Gaga has been engaged to actor Taylor Kinney, who proposed with a heart-shaped diamond ring from red carpet jeweller Lorraine Schwartz. She later became engaged to talent agent Christian Carino, who presented her with a pink sapphire ring framed with diamonds.
Gaga’s latest romantic engagement seems to have informed a new song on her Mayhem album, entitled Blade of Grass, which includes the lyrics, “Come on and wrap that blade of grass/ Around my finger like a cast…I’ve been so lonely in this field / Fighting a battle with no shield / Come on and wrap that blade of grass / And we’ll make it last.”
Here’s hoping Lady Gaga finally finds her happy ever after.
