With a sold-out arena tour, four wins<\/a> at the 2025 VMAs and a critically beloved album under her belt this year, Lady Gaga<\/a> is riding high. Now, she wants to make sure that she gives credit to one of the most important people who helped get her to where she is now.<\/p>\n In a lengthy post<\/a> shared to her Instagram on Monday (Sept. 8), Gaga paid tribute to her fianc\u00e9, Michael Polansky, thanking him for the way that he\u2019s helped lift her up over the last few years. \u201cDreaming up this album, making the plan, building every vision with you \u2014 talking endlessly about what we would create and do for monsters has been an experience I could not have ever imagined,\u201d she wrote in the caption, sharing two pictures of her and Polansky \u2014 one backstage at the Mayhem Ball, and another of the two of them posing in the desert.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Gaga continued, specifically singling out the attention and appreciation Polansky shows to her fans on the tour. \u201cI love how much you love my fans and want them to be happy \u2026 it fills my heart with happiness how much you love them because we get to love them every day together,\u201d she wrote. \u201cYou care as much as I do about people feeling seen in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Along with being engaged to the pop star, Polansky has also served as a chief collaborator on Gaga\u2019s latest era. He\u2019s listed as an executive producer on Mayhem, with production credits on seven of the 14 tracks. Polansky and Gaga are also listed as the two executive producers of The Mayhem Ball when the credits roll on stage at each of her shows.<\/p>\n In closing her post, Gaga praised Polansky as a \u201ctrue renaissance man,\u201d and shared just how much he means to her. \u201cYou work so so hard with me from dawn till dusk every day living the music, performances, and plans with your blood sweat and tears\u2013 to see it through every step of the way this year I am the luckiest girl alive,\u201d Gaga wrote in her post. \u201cI love you endlessly. Having your creative partnership in our art, business and in love \u2014 is a love I\u2019ve never known \u2026 You are MY artist of the year. And the love of my life. Thank you for making all our MAYHEM dreams come true.\u201d<\/p>\n For fans who were eager to see Gaga (and potentially Polansky) live but missed her first run of shows, the pop star announced<\/a> a new set of North American dates for her critically acclaimed Mayhem Ball. Taking place in early 2026, the new dates will see Gaga traveling to a number of cities she missed on the tour\u2019s first stint, as well as two pairs of encore shows in Los Angeles and New York.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Billboard VIP Pass<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
