Here’s How Lady Gaga Hinted at a Rumored Bruno Mars Collab in New Teaser Video
In the words of Lady Gaga herself: “That’s gossip, what you on/ Money don’t talk, rip that song.”
On Tuesday (Aug. 13), Gaga shared a video to her social media teasing new music. Sitting at a white Roland piano, Gaga plucked out a few chords before smiling into the camera and stopping the recording. While that may not seem like much to go on, fans noticed that Gaga specifically showed the camera the t-shirt she was wearing, which had Bruno Mars‘ face on it.
The singer’s new post comes just after rumors surfaced online that a potential collaboration between Gaga and Mars was coming soon. According to a post from Hits Daily Double‘s “Rumor Mill,” the song is allegedly titled “Die With a Smile” and is potentially set to be released “sometime this month.”
When Gaga commented with a series of emojis on Mars’ Instagram post from his tour stops in Mexico City on Monday, fans immediately began replying with speculation about the rumored collab. “SO IS IT REAL???” one eager fan wrote in reply to her comment, while another simply demanded, “DROP THE SONG.”
