At the 2011 GRAMMYs, Lady Gaga took home the GRAMMY for Best Pop Vocal Album for The Fame Monster, capping off a triumphant night that also saw "Bad Romance" win two other awards.
In her heartfelt acceptance speech, Gaga gave thanks to her Little Monsters, family, team and label — but it was her shout-out to Whitney Houston that struck an emotional chord. "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," she told the crowd, acknowledging Houston's influence on her confidence and artistry.
