Lady Gaga 'Has A Supportive Father'

Lady Gaga says she has a very supportive father - who has no problems with any of the crazier aspects of her art.

The 'Just Dance' singer revealed that her dad even has a fitting pet name for his daughter - "Loopy" - and he is proud that Gaga has remained herself throughout her rise to fame.

"I am such a Daddy's Girl," she confessed. "He loves seeing the performance side of me. My dad is a creative guy and he really appreciates the technical side of what I do."

"He calls me Loopy. And he says to me 'Y'know Loopy you never sold out, you never changed who you were or are for anyone.'"

"He loves it and appreciates that I am a strong woman with strong opinions. And I am so lucky to have such a supportive family."

Gaga recently revealed that she'd be getting a tattoo in honor of her dad - who had open heart surgery last month.
