On June 4, Lady Gaga took to TikTok to address the rumor mill.

It’s no secret that not everything said on the internet is fact. And many make assumptions off a single picture or video.

In Lady Gaga’s case, people have begun to question if the pop star is pregnant. As a result, the singer was forced to respond.

In a video she shared on TikTok of herself in glam, Gaga wrote that she’s “not pregnant, just down bad cryin at the gym,” referencing lyrics from Taylor Swift’s new song, Down Bad.

She then encouraged viewers of the video to “register to vote” at headcount.org.

Swift caught wind of Lady Gaga’s video and shared her own comment.

“Can we all agree that it’s invasive and irresponsible to comment on a woman’s body. Gaga doesn’t owe anyone an explanation and neither does any woman,” Swift wrote in the comments, sealing it with a kiss emoji.

In fact, Swift has also been subject to people alleging she’s pregnant, with people dissecting her body at every angle in still photos captured while she’s performing her three-and-a-half hour long The Eras Tour concert.

Fans praised both singers shutting the rumors down.

“You are right,” one commenter wrote. “People (especially the media) should learn that a woman’s body is not something they can comment on.”

“Exactly,” another added. “I’m sorry you have to even have to say this in the first place.”
