Taylor Swift has come to the defense of Lady Gaga, who recently faced speculation about being pregnant. The rumors began circulating after new photos from Gaga’s sister’s wedding surfaced earlier this week. Swift took a firm stance against the body shamers, highlighting the invasive nature of such speculation.
Lady Gaga responded to the rumors on TikTok, using lyrics from Taylor Swift’s recent album, "Tortured Poets Department." Gaga's caption read, "Not pregnant - just down bad crying at the gym," referencing Swift's song "Down Bad." She also used the viral moment to encourage her followers to register to vote, adding a link to Head Count.
Swift, known for her advocacy on social issues, did not miss the opportunity to address the body shaming directly. "Can we all agree that it's invasive & irresponsible to comment on a woman's body? Gaga doesn't owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman," Swift wrote, ending her comment with a lipstick kiss emoji.
The interaction between the two music icons quickly garnered attention, with fans of both Swift (known as Swifties) and Gaga (known as Little Monsters) praising their stand against body shaming. One TikTok user commented back to Swift, "Very well said, love you always, mother." Another fan expressed excitement over the potential for a musical collaboration, saying, "Ok but the Taylor reference!! Girls give us a duet!! This is now a need."
Swift has long admired Gaga’s versatility and ability to pivot between different genres and roles. In an Entertainment Weekly cover story, Swift praised Gaga, saying, "When people think she's gonna go one way, she goes the exact opposite. She did that Tony Bennett record and won a Grammy. And then she pivots and goes and wins a Golden Globe for American Horror Story: Hotel. And then she pivots and does Joanne. And then she pivots and wins an Oscar for A Star Is Born. That's so cool, that ability to be so capable in so many different worlds. There's so much dexterity to her career."
The recent wedding photos not only sparked pregnancy rumors but also engagement speculation. Gaga was seen wearing a large diamond ring on her ring finger, walking alongside her longtime boyfriend and rumored fiancé, Michael Polansky.
In 2019, Gaga also had to address pregnancy rumors following her Oscar win for "A Star Is Born." At that time, she humorously tweeted, "Rumors I'm pregnant? Yeah, I'm pregnant with #LG6," referring to her sixth studio album, Chromatica, which she released nearly a year later to critical acclaim.
