Lady Gaga firmly rejected speculation that she is romantically involved with Bradley Cooper after their performance at the Oscars generated lots of buzz on social media.
The “A Star is Born” actress flaunted her Oscar statuette that she won for Best Original Song during a Thursday appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and expressed how her “whole artistic journey” flashed before her eyes as her song “Shallow” was announced as an Oscar winner.
We were watching it at home and we were like, ‘Oh my, what is going on between these two?’” Kimmel said. “You had such a connection with Bradley that instantly, I guess this is a compliment, people started saying like, ‘Oh, they must be dating, they must be in love.”
Gaga reacted with a big eye roll, causing the audience to roar with laughter.
“First of all, social media, quite frankly, is the toilet of the internet," she said. "I mean, what it has done to pop culture is abysmal. And yes, people saw love and -- guess what? -- that’s what we wanted you to see, you know? This is a love song, ‘Shallow.’ The movie, ‘A Star is Born,’ it’s a love story. We worked so hard. We worked all week on that performance.”
