The
Poker
Face
singer
had
an
emotional
moment
while
performing
her
Oscar
nominated
song
Til
It
Happens
To
You
at
the
Producers
Guild
Awards.
Lady
Gaga
spoke
about
her
aunt
who
was
a
victim
of
sexual
abuse.
Talking
about
the
brutal
incident
that
took
away
her
aunt's
life,
Gaga
told
what
significance
the
song
holds
to
her
and
her
family.
At
the
event
that
took
place
on
January
24,
2016,
in
Los
Angeles,
the
singer
said,
'It's
not
only
an
important
issue
to
me,
but
it's
an
important
issue
to
my
family,'
'When
my
father's
sister
was
in
college,
she
was
sexually
assaulted.
Then,
it
tormented
her
so
emotionally
that
it
caused
the
lupus
that
she
had
to
get
so
bad
that
she
died.'
She
co-wrote
the
song
with
Daine
Warren
for
the
campus
rape
documentary
The
Hunting
Ground.
The
song
is
very
close
to
her
heart
because
of
what
her
aunt
Joanne
went
through.
The
six
times
Grammy
winner
took
to
the
Piano
for
an
emotional
rendition
of
the
song
Til
It
Happens
To
You,
after
thanking
Warren
whom
she
loves
very
much.
