Just hours after Lady Gaga took to TikTok to shut down pregnancy speculation, Taylor Swift has spoken up to urge everyone to mind their own business and not comment on others’ bodies. Couldn’t agree more.
Rumors about a Gaga pregnancy began circulating after the internet got hold of pictures of the pop star at her sister’s wedding in which she seemed to be covering her stomach. But Gaga brushed it off, posting a TikTok on which she wrote, “Not pregnant—just down bad cryin at the gym,” a reference to Taylor Swift’s song “Down Bad” from her latest album. Funnily enough, on another Tortured Poets Department track, Swift mocks the constant pregnancy rumors with the line, “I’m having his baby, no I’m not, but you should see your faces.”
Because Lady Gaga is who she is, she also used the attention to tell everyone to make sure they’re registered to vote.
