The singer, 32, who looked stunning in a laser cut-out blue maxi dress on the show, stunned Ellen with her confession.
She said: "When I started my career, I decided around 19 years old that I was going to go for it as a singer, because I couldn't get any jobs as an actress.
"I just hit the pavement running and I was dragging my piano around New York City banging on doors."
She continued: "I would call I up and I would be like: 'Hello this is Lady Gaga's manager, she's really hot right now, we would like the 10pm slot for her if you can for her in'.

"I used to just pretend I was my own manager to try and get the best gig that I could."
Now Gaga, famous for wearing a meat dress at the height of her fame, is about to play the lead role opposite Bradley Cooper in his directorial debut, A Star Is Born.
Speaking of working with the A-Team star, she said: "We're both from the East Coast, and we're both Italian, so before I knew it I was heating up leftovers in the kitchen and feeding him and we were talking about life."

A Star Is Born is the third remake of the well-known story - first told in 1937 by Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, and in 1954 through a musical version starring Judy Garland and James Mason.
It tells the story of a hard-living country star, played by Cooper, who falls in love with a young upcoming singer, played by Gaga.
The two leads sang every song in the film live on set, which Bradley recently revealed was Gaga's "terrifying" but ultimately genius idea.
