Lady Gaga has set her record straight, stating that she would never lip sync as long as the audience is paying money to watch her performing LIVE on stage. The video of Lady Gaga is going viral at the time when BLACKPINK members Lisa and Jennie are facing online trolls over their performances at Coachella. Soon after the videos of them from the festival went viral, netizens claimed that they were lip syncing during their performances. But, was Lady Gaga’s statement an indirect dig at BLACKPINK members? Here’s the truth
The viral video featuring Lady Gaga talking about “lip syncing” is from her New York date for her Monster Ball world tour, which was held in February 2011. She had said, “I never lip sync, I never have lip synced and I never will. And as long as you’re paying money to buy ticket to see my show, I’m not gonna waste your time watching a b*tch lip sync her way through an HBO special.”
Lady Gaga’s comments on lip syncing in the video has been misinterpreted as an indirect dig at BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Jennie, who faced online trolls over their Coachella performances. Gaga made this statement during her Monster Ball concert in New York. She mentioned an “HBO special” because the show was being recorded for HBO and she was sharing her thoughts on lip syncing at the time.
It means that the quote is not about BLACKPINK as they were not even teenagers at the time.
