"I love you and I hope that you feel a big hug from the whole world today because what's really beautiful about this show is that you're all hugging each other."

Gaga has also discussed the importance of self-isolating during the pandemic.

She recently wrote on Instagram: "So I talked to some doctors and scientists. It's not the easiest for everyone right now but the kindest/healthiest thing we can do is self-quarantine and not hang out with people over 65 and in large groups. I wish I could see my parents and grandmas right now but it's much safer to not so I don't get them sick in case I have it. I'm hanging at home with my dogs. (sic)"

In a recent “60 Minutes” program of the American TV network CBS, she said: “The situation in Manila is far worse than any war zone that I’ve been in.
