Lady Gaga says coronavirus meeting interruption is “what I make music for”
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 5 March 2020
Lady Gaga has responded to her new single ‘Stupid Love’ interrupting an Italian council press conference discussing the local government’s response to the coronavirus.
Council officials livestreamed the event on Facebook on Sunday discussing ongoing actions to limit the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 in the region. There have now been 24 confirmed cases in that region, fourteen of which have required hospitalisation.
About 20 minutes into the meeting a few seconds of Lady Gaga’s new single blasted out of someone’s phone, before being shut off. There was a brief ripple of amusement from the council members, before they got back to the serious business of explaining how they are trying to limit the spread of the virus.
After a fan posted a clip of the interruption on Twitter, Gaga herself responded yesterday, saying: “And this is why I make music”.
But what exactly does Gaga mean by this? That’s the big question here. Let’s have a look at some of the options, then you can decide for yourself:
1. Lady Gaga makes music in order to make serious looking people smirk for up to two seconds.
2. Lady Gaga makes music to remind us that concerns like coronavirus are temporary and life goes on.
3. Lady Gaga makes music that she wants to spread like a virus.
4. Lady Gaga makes music that she believes is best heard in unexpected five second bursts.
5. Lady Gaga makes music for people in suits.
6. Lady Gaga makes music for people largely dressed in black.
7. Lady Gaga makes music for people sitting in front of red backdrops.
8. Lady Gaga makes music for videos filmed at awkward angles that are
also obscured by other devices filming the same footage from roughly the
same angle.
9. Lady Gaga makes music in order to be everywhere.
10. Lady Gaga makes music she believes is best heard as a ringtone.
It’s almost certainly one of those, but please feel free to come up with your own ideas. Send them in to, well, not us, but maybe ‘Blue Peter’ or something.
