Gaga has been known to use her platform and fame for advocating important issues like LGBTQ and women’s rights. Naturally, her beliefs aligned with the topics of Winfrey’s message at the award ceremony. The long-time entertainment personality spoke of everything from becoming the first black woman to receive the Cecile B. DeMille award to speaking her truth in a male dominated industry. She shed light on the #MeToo movement and proudly exclaimed that “a new day is on the horizon.”
Fans replied to Gaga’s tweet encouraging the singer to run for Vice President. While the whole scenario is just theoretical for now, the two would surely make the ultimate girl power duo.
