Lady Gaga Says Taylor Swift And Chappell Roan Make Her ‘Cry’ For This Heartfelt Reason

Lady Gaga has consistently demonstrated deep affection and concern for her fellow pop stars, and she sheds light on the reasons for this empathy in a recent Vogue cover story. In the feature, she reflects on her emotional connection to artists such as Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift, among others.

Gaga reveals that she is moved to tears by the success of these young performers. Even if she cannot attend their live shows, she often watches their videos online and feels a profound sense of pride.

The ‘Bad Romance’ hitmaker shared, "I’m not only cheering them on; I want them to know that my heart is in it with them. And I want them all to feel really happy." She became visibly emotional when discussing the impact these younger artists have on her.

The ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ star emphasised that her support extends beyond mere encouragement from the sidelines. It involves wishing for their genuine happiness and ensuring they feel supported in both their personal and professional lives.

Support between the stars is reciprocal. Taylor Swift stood up for Gaga when there were online rumours about her expecting a baby. Swift addressed the speculation in a TikTok comment, stating, "Can we all agree that it's invasive & irresponsible to comment on a woman’s body? Gaga doesn’t owe anyone an explanation, and neither does any woman."

Previously, Gaga had commended Swift for her bravery, especially for disclosing her struggles with an eating disorder in the 2020 documentary ‘Miss Americana’. This time, Gaga's praise for Swift underscores her admiration for the transparency and courage displayed.
