Flashback: Lady Gaga answers the most offensive interview question I have ever heard, from Anderson Cooper no less.

[sir pball]

In a later interview she said: “The reason why I didn’t answer the question is because I didn’t feel like a victim with that lie. But I thought about, like, what about a kid who is being accused of that who would think that a public figure like me would feel shame?” Gaga told Gates. “I’ve been in situations where fixing a rumor was not in the best interest of the well-being of other people. In that case, I tried to be thought-provoking and disruptive in another way. I tried to use the misinformation to create another disruptive point.”

1000% Chaotic Good, from one of the genuinely best people I can think of in recent memory to attain superstardom.

1. We love love LOVE her

[sir pball]

3. She is the only superstar I believe is a genuinely good person.

Well…her and Dolly.

They should do a collab…Jolene?

[ZDU]

5. That would be amazing!

[sir pball]

6. It would be good for sure, but TBH not sure it would be as good as Dolly and her god-daughter...

Who's also an ally, Miley identifies as queer: https://people.com/music/miley-cyrus-sexuality-everything-she-has-said/

It's more that this style isn't in Gaga's wheelhouse…but it's brilliant:

8. 9 to 5

Dolly/Gaga reprise?

[sir pball]

10. Oooh I like it

But you'd still have to replace one of the originals…maybe Jane Fonda?

[ZDU]

12. Casting call!

Apply y'all

13. Flowers

This one read my tea leaves and cards:

2. Love it. Perfect response.

[sir pball]

4. The best "what's in your pants" response ever. nt

7. OK, now I genuinely love her

I'm way too old to be deeply acquainted with Ms Gaga. But she won much of my heart on that Superbowl show she put on a few years back, and again singing the O Say Can You See at, I think, Superbowl 50. (Or was it the show, first, the anthem second?)

But her retort to Cooper was the best thing ever and it sealed the deal. Such talent, such intelligence such beauty and poise. If I was 50 years younger, she'd totally break my heart.

9. Her best National Anthem was at Biden's inauguration...

She's one of the only artists EVER to not lip-synch it. It's accepted as a fair practice, of course you can't screw up the Inauguration…

…but she went no-ropes.

14. Maybe if women go around saying they have a penis, men will be nicer to them. ????

[sir pball]

17. Oh god...

…don't go around giving MTG ideas

[Irish_Dem]

18. She probably does have a penis.

[sir pball]

19. Sorry, nope.

I do not like MTG, at all. I think she is some first-class vermin, who we MIGHT work with but should never trust. She's an utter snake, only out for her own best interests.

That said, throwing the same crap at her that Gaga got is not okay.

[Joinfortmill]

15. Cooper was tactless and obnoxious. She rocked it.

[sir pball]

16. The way she shook her head a little at the end...

Gaga ain't got time for this shit.

There is a reason she is an icon 💙💙
