As creator Matt Groening says of Lady GaGa:
Since the very beginning, I’ve always wanted to have on the most iconic personalities of our time, and she’s it.
The Simpsons and GaGa are teaming up for a very special upcoming episode about self-esteem and sequins — Lisa Goes GaGa.

GaGa says she took her experience seriously and with all sincerity:
