Lady Gaga's awards-show performances have been a big part of her story over the past year, but her set at the Brit Awards on Tuesday night took on a more serious meaning, as she dedicated it to her friend, designer Alexander McQueen, who died earlier this month. After the ceremony, the singer spoke to reporters about her emotional tribute and her success at the show.

"I wanted to do a very, very forward performance, something that I felt was a true representation of the future," she said of her McQueen tribute. "I re-inspired my song 'Telephone' into an acoustic, sort of jazz version, and then I went into a song called 'Dance in the Dark,' and I used a brand-new instrument that the Haus of Gaga has built named Emma."

Along with her memorable performance, Gaga also won awards in all three of her nominated categories, including Best International Album, Best International Female Solo Artist and International Breakthrough Act.

"I really did not expect to win all three tonight, or really any at all, so I'm just so excited," she told the BBC Radio 1. "Honestly, I'm never the one who wins all the awards, and I have never been the one to feel like the winner my whole life. I've always been an outsider, so I really felt so accepted tonight and like people really understand my music and my message and what I do."

And how did she plan to celebrate? "I am going to get miserably drunk with all of my friends and celebrate and get ready," she said, presumably referring to her British tour, which begins February 18 in Manchester and wraps in March, then heads to New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
