Lady Gaga gushes over friendship with Ariana Grande: 'You know how hard it is to make a female friend in this business?'

Lady Gaga is grateful to count Ariana Grande as a pal, after admitting that it's difficult to have female friends in the entertainment industry.

The pair recently teamed up for the song 'Rain on Me', and Gaga is thankful she's close to Ariana, because she's found it tough to make friends with fellow women in show business.

Speaking on 'CBS Sunday Morning', she stated: "I love that girl" and added: "In this business, having a female friend is like watching a pig fly."

For the tune, the pair scooped three MTV Video Music Awards prizes, Song Of The Year, Best Collaboration and Best Cinematography and Gaga admitted she and Ariana are "soul sisters".
