United Kingdom, Jan. 28 -- Lady Gaga admits she was "living on the edge" and is content with being "boring" now.

The 38-year-old pop superstar - who got engaged to Michael Polansky in April 2024 after more than four years of dating - has admitted she would turn to drink and smoke "a lot" whenever she needed an "escape route".

She told the March 2025 issue of ELLE UK - of which she is the cover star - that: "I used to drink a lot and smoke a lot, and I was always looking for an out. I used to call it the trap door. I used to be like, 'I need an escape route.' And I stopped doing that. And I actually started feeling it. Being present. As an artist, it's hard to go through that and not want to share that with my fans."
