𝑻𝑯𝑬 iHeartRadio 𝑰𝑵𝑵𝑶𝑽𝑨𝑻𝑶𝑹 - Lady Gaga 🖤 “Innovation isn’t about breaking rules. It’s about writing your own, and convincing the world they were theirs all along...If I’ve learned anything in the 3 decades I’ve been at this, it’s that the most powerful innovation is your authenticity. Every time I was the only woman in the room, the loudest voice was inside my own head telling me not to compromise. Listening to that voice always showed me exactly where I belonged.”
