- She spills the tea in a recent podcast
In a recent episode of 'Jason Tartick's Trading Secrets' podcast, Carly Waddell (35, reality TV star and performer) dropped a bombshell about her college days with Lady Gaga (35). The 'Bachelor Nation' alum shared some juicy details about her time at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where she studied alongside a young Stefani Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga.
Gaga's lunchtime concerts
According to Waddell, she and Gaga were the only two students who ended up dropping out of their 60-member class. And while the world might be Gaga for the "Poker Face" singer, Waddell wasn't exactly a "Little Monster" during their college days.

Unforgettable encounter
"She was so talented… Stefani used to, during lunch, play on the piano… and just sing Wicked at the top of her lungs every single day," Waddell recalled. "We were all just trying to eat lunch. It was break time. And we were all forced to listen to her."
Waddell didn't deny Gaga's talent, but she wasn't exactly a fan of the impromptu lunchtime concerts. "Was she good? Of course, she's great, but I would just want to eat my sandwich. I used to just eat in the hallway because she was driving me crazy."
Gaga: The extra classmate
Describing Gaga as "so extra," Waddell revealed that the future Oscar and GRAMMY winner was quite the character in college. "She'd wear these really tight leotards and she had really big boobs back then and her boobs are just coming up."
As for her opinion on Gaga now, Waddell admitted, "I wasn't a fan of her at that moment, but I wasn't my best at that moment either. We both dropped out of the program because we didn't love the program." She added that she now loves Gaga's music.
