Lady Gaga laughs at fan’s ‘reductive’ shade on Madonna Celebration Tour

Madonna fans put their love for the pop icon to the test while attending the latest stop of her ongoing Celebration Tour.

Madonna chatted with the crowd while sipping a beer before the superstar took the stage at Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena on Monday night to begin an acoustic rendition of her 1989 smash “Express Yourself.” Then a hilarious gesture from an audience member caught his attention.

“You look at it, bitch!” Madonna responded after seeing the sign, which pointed to the word “reductive”, an apparent reference to the singer-songwriter’s 2012 interview with Cynthia McFadden, during which she was asked to play Lady Gaga’s 2011 hit “Born This They were asked about the perceived sound similarity between” and “.” express yourself.”

After McFadden asked for comment on Gaga’s “Born This Way”, Madonna responded, “That, uh, sounds disrespectful.” “Is it good?” McFadden responded, prompting Madonna to reach for a nearby cup of tea and quip: “Look at this.”

EW has contacted Madonna’s representatives for comment.

Although the 2012 moment created a sharp divide between fans of both pop stars, Madonna and Gaga have since publicly reconciled.

Gaga won an Oscar in 2019 for writing a star is born Soundtrack song “Shallow”, Madonna shared a photo of the cast posing with Gaga’s new Academy Award.

“Don’t mess with Italian girls”, Madonna wrote on social media alongside the photo, sparking demand for a collaboration.

Earlier, in his 2017 Netflix documentary Gaga: five foot twoGaga addressed Madonna’s “disgraceful” comments.

“I’ve always admired her, and I still admire her, no matter what she thinks of me. No, I do. The only thing that really bothers me about her is that I I’m Italian and from New York, so, like, Gaga said in the film, if I have a problem with somebody, I’ll tell you to your face.” But, no matter how much respect I have for them as an artist, Why not, I can never ignore the fact that she won’t look me in the eye and tell me I’m ‘disrespectful’ or anything.”
