Lady Gaga is nominated for five awards at the 2019 Grammys and started the night off strong by winning best song written for visual media with “Shallow” and best pop solo performance with “Joanne (Where Do You Think You’re Goin’?)”
The music-turned-silver-screen star took to Twitter to express her joy after “Shallow” — a record made with go-to collaborator Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt — won, writing “I’m in tears with honor and gratitude.”
I’m not gonna be able to wear any makeup tonight. We just won our first of Grammy nominations for the night. I’m in tears with honor and gratitude. Thank you @RecordingAcad #Grammys #Grammy and my co-writers and Bradley I love you so much thank you –????????????????????????????

The waterworks continued (via emoji) when “Joanne (Where Do You Think You’re Goin’?)” earned her second Grammy of the night. The recognition strikes a personal chord for Gaga, who shared that the honor for this song is “more than me & my family could ever dream of. I sang that version in one take, & poured my entire life & soul into it.”
