Heidi Montag doesn’t exactly have the music career that she wanted, and she’s pointing the finger at Lady Gaga for her misfortune. Heidi sat down for an interview for the podcast “Unpopular with Jacques Peterson,” where she chatted about various topics, including an appearance that the then lesser-known Lady Gaga made an appearance on “The Hills” in 2009. Heidi explained that at the time, she had plans to work with producer RedOne, but as she described it, Gaga swept the rug from under her feet.
“[RedOne] and I were going to pair up and we were going to do what him and Lady Gaga ended up doing, which is writing every song together and producing,” she explained. “He was like, ‘I just need to get the consent of the writer.’ And so I just thought Lady Gaga was a writer, because she was a writer on the song. And he was like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna cut ‘Fashion’ with Heidi,” she continued. “I have her in the studio, she loves it.’ And [Gaga’s] like, ‘Great. Sure, she can have that song.’ So then I recorded it, and it was my song. That was the impression I was under.”
Heidi ended up recording the song, but so did Gaga. Gaga’s version was bigger since it was on the “Confessions of a Shopaholic” soundtrack. Following the drama with Heidi, Gaga’s career only went “Higher.” The singer has been nominated for 34 Grammys, and she’s taken home the trophy 12 times. Could that have been Heidi instead? Eh, debatable.
