Lady Gaga has been one of Hillary Clinton's big supporters. So after the election results, she expressed her feelings in a moving essay in Harper's Bazaar.

"Being a lady today means being a fighter," she wrote. "It means being a survivor. It means letting yourself be vulnerable and acknowledging your shame or that you're sad or you're angry. It takes strength to do that."

She spoke about how women were portrayed in the media during the election and the language used to describe women. "I felt depressed and hurt by it because that's what that kind of language does," she said. "Then I watched our incredible first lady, Michelle Obama, talk in New Hampshire about how hurt she felt seeing it too. She talked about how women are often afraid to say anything because we're worried that we will appear weak — that we'll be told we're being over-the-top, dramatic, emotional. But we're not. We're fighting for our lives."
