After fans speculated that Lady Gaga may be pregnant, she took matters into her own hands and responded to the rumors with a Taylor Swift reference. The “Anti-Hero” singer herself slammed the rumors about Gaga, and we have how she responded and more.

Tetris Kelly:
Lady Gaga wants you to stop the pregnancy rumors, and she’s using Taylor Swift to do so. Taylor’s got something to say. Yeah, you heard us right. We have the story.

Fans had been looking at photos of the global pop star and speculating on if she was pregnant, which honestly, in 2024, are we still doing that? Well, Gaga felt the need to set the record straight by posting this on TikTok. In addition to the hilarious sound she used, saying she’s not pregnant and encouraging us to vote. People are obsessed. She said she’s down back crying at the gym, referencing this Taylor Swift song.

Taylor commented, “Can we all agree [that] it’s invasive and irresponsible to comment on a woman’s body. Gaga doesn’t owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman.”

We agree. How about you two do a song together? This isn’t the first time Gaga was over pregnancy rumors. Last time in 2019, she said she was pregnant with LG6. So hopefully this time it’s LG7 and features some TayTay.

Jung Kook is back already, with other new releases from Halsey and Sabrina Carpenter. Isn’t that sweet? I guess so. Here’s three things you should know.

Sabrina’s “Espresso” has peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and now “Short n’ Sweet,” her new album, is set for release on Aug. 23. Get it tatted if you mean it, the artist shared the cover and a back tat and added, “this project is quite special to me and i hope it’ll be something special to you too.” Oh, we are ready for more summer bops.

“Let’s try something different this time and start at ‘The End.’” That’s what Halsey stated as they revealed new cover art for their next album and announced, “I’m releasing the first song off my fifth album tomorrow, June 4th.” And we got a taste.

And you guys know I’m excited about this one. I was not expecting even more new BTS music after RM just blessed us, but Kookie is back. Jung Kook will be dropping “Never Let Go” at 1 p.m. Korean Standard Time on June 7. The track is dedicated to BTS fans, ARMY, and is delivering ahead of the K-pop group’s Festa event in Seoul. They always keep us fed. “Standing Next to You” was one of my top songs last year. Can’t wait to hear how this sounds.
