Lady Gaga has yet again shown the world that she is still a major influencer and that the world will still listen despite the post being deleted. In a deleted post on former Twitter, which Gaga presumably posted, the singer appeared to have jokingly taken a swipe at the quick space travel that her pop partner, Katy Perry, did in a commercial rocket by saying, “I’ve had farts longer than that.”

As a matter of fact, the post was only available for a short period, but that time was enough for the fans to take screenshots, send comments, and immortalize the instance. One fan simply wrote, "She wasn't lying," The expressions of both the fan and the other users all carried the same idea that while direct, the statement was not very incorrect.


Gaga's post: blink and you missed it (like Katy’s trip)

Fans are split—shade or just Gaga being Gaga?

Fans’ reactions to Lady Gaga’s post varied between those who laughed aloud and those who raised their eyebrows in surprise. The majority of the fans greeted the singer’s direct style of communication with indulgent laughter.

"Girl a flight from north carolina to south carolina is longer." - Joked Cynthia on X.

The rest felt that the words used turned the situation into a negative one and were a kind of reprising of past pop-music disputes.

“Simply being jealous and insecure does not help. It's not just Katy alone who was part of the project. This is a disrespect to all women from Lady Gaga.” - Madeira wrote on X.

Many fans, however, in contrast, described the comment as light-hearted banter.

“Gaga always finding new ways to humble people.” - Another fan said.

Fans use their voice

The post has not only started but also continued the conversation among pop culture fanatics and people.

"Mother said subtlety is for the weak, " expressed one user.

In fact, some commenters have suggested that if we scratch underneath the surface of the event, it is going to play in a funny way later. The fans do have a point.

"Jealousy comes in many forms." - Wrote another on X.

They have brought up the fact that over the years, Perry and Gaga have been rumored to be in a war of words; thus, to them, such an act by Gaga was unfriendly, and it was just part of the show.

"Short trip, long shade." - Wrote Anna on X.

The post was taken down by Gaga, but the fans are not letting it go

Well, the initial article has been deleted from Lady Gaga's feed, but the users have not made it go away entirely as they have saved it by taking screenshots, making it a meme, and started talking about it.

The sentiment was underscored by both fans and commentators in agreement, showing clearly that it was something that they both talked about.

To add an appropriate note to it, a user wrote,

"Katy’s out here chasing stars, Gaga’s chasing punchlines."
