’18 and Pregnant?’: Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga have been telling people to stop commenting on women’s bodies for decades, but they refuse to listen
How are we still having this conversation?!
After Lady Gaga used a Taylor Swift song to deny pregnancy rumors, the “Fortnight” singer made sure to support Gaga and throw in a reminder for her own fans in the process.
Any time a female celebrity (or any woman for that matter) doesn’t have an unrealistically flat stomach, pregnancy rumors automatically ensue. Earlier this month, a TikTok clip creepily scrutinizing Taylor Swift’s body while performing on her record-breaking Eras Tour went viral, sparking rumors that the musician could be pregnant. Then on Monday, Jun. 3, a similar rumor about Lady Gaga made headlines when she was seen simply existing at her sister’s wedding.
It might not seem like it, but celebrities have internet access too, and Swift and Gaga’s prompt responses to the chatter proved it. In less than 24 hours, the latter shared a TikTok video telling her followers she was “not pregnant,” while also using the opportunity to urge them to register to vote and quote the chorus of Swift’s “Down Bad” in the same breath.
