Lady Gaga took to Instagram earlier this week for a tribute to the late Whitney Houston. The Mother Monster posted an image of Houston and recalled the massive influence Whitney has had on her life and career.
"Every year around the Grammys I think about Whitney," Gaga captioned the pic.
"Her legendary voice, the sparkle of her eyes in the spotlight, a genuine compassionate spirit. I miss her all the time and wonder why she's gone. A good time to remember to treat women and all artists with care. She gave us so much, what did we give her?"
Gaga has been vocal about her love for Houston, even thanking the legendary soul star during her Grammy acceptance speech in 2011.
"I need to say thank you tonight to Whitney Houston," Gaga said.
"I wanted to thank Whitney because when I wrote 'Born This Way,' I imagined she was singing it because I wasn't secure enough in myself to imagine I was a superstar. So, Whitney, I imagined you were singing 'Born This Way' when I wrote it. Thank you."
