“People saw love, and guess what, that’s what we wanted you to see,” Lady Gaga said during a Jimmy Kimmel Live interview.
“From a performance perspective, it was so important to both of us that we were connected the entire time,” she continued. “Look, I’ve had my arms wrapped around Tony Bennett for three years touring the world. When you’re singing love songs, that’s what you want people to feel.”
