"I love Ryan so much, and I'm so, so happy to be here. He's really my friend and he's a wonderful person," said Gaga, who stars in the latest season of Murphy's show American Horror Story. She added: "Since I met Ryan, I have rediscovered something in myself, and it's my favorite part of me so thank you. I think it's because you appreciate the part of me my Christian guilt is mortified by."
