Lady Gaga’s In Love with Bradley
Lady Gaga, who took home the Best Original Song Oscar earlier in the week, made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and opened up about her A Star Is Born win, as well as her relationship with co-star Bradley Cooper.
“You had such a connection with Bradley that, instantly, and I guess this is a compliment, people started saying, ‘Oh, they must be in love’.” Jimmy Kimmelsaid. Gaga, who brought her statue along for the interview, gave a massive eyeroll, and then called social media the “toilet of the Internet.”
“First of all, social media, quite frankly, is the toilet of the Internet. And what it has done to pop culture is abysmal. And people saw love, and guess what, that’s what we wanted you to see. This is a love song, ‘Shallow.’ The movie, A Star Is Born, is a love story. We worked so hard, we worked all week on that performance. Bradley, who – and you know, I never relinquish control about a live stage performance and I’ve done a million of them – but he directed this film and he directed, obviously, the musical moments in the film, and ‘Shallow,’ the moment, in the film. So I knew that he had the vision for how it should go, and so I was like, ‘What do you think Bradley?’ And he laid it all out.”
Gaga went on to chalk her and Cooper’s apparent chemistry up to the demands of performing love songs.
