Lady Gaga has revealed that she offered Billie Eilish her mentorship after finding that she never secured herself a steady female confidant in the music industry.The singer, 34, said she sent Eilish flowers with a note after the 18-year-old star bagged five Grammy awards in January.Gaga told Apple Music: “Billie swept a whole bunch of awards so I said, ‘Let’s send some flowers’.

I wrote her a note. For me, it’s healing because it hurt me that I didn’t get that. I’m going to be that for someone else.“I’ve had a harder time with ­older women in terms of having a female ­mentor.

Other than Celine Dion and Carole King, it’s proven ­difficult to have someone who would show me the way. So I really hope that young female artists – or young artists.
