Lady Gaga took to TikTok to shut down pregnancy rumors...with a little help from some Taylor Swift lyrics.
Rumors started swirling about an alleged baby bump after the Oscar winner was photographed at her sister's wedding over the weekend.
The singer addressed the speculation on TikTok by way of some "Down Bad" lyrics, sharing via text overlay:
“Not pregnant ― just down bad cryin at the gym."
In the video, Gaga is sporting some dramatic black-eyeliner and lip-syncing to a TikTok voice-over that says:
“I don’t have to find an aesthetic. I am an aesthetic."
"I mean I’m sure there’s somebody out here right now who’s going into Pinterest trying to type up all these adjectives to describe me.”
Of course, Swifties were quick to observe the reference to The Tortured Poets Department track that debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 last month.
The full lyric is:
“Now I’m down bad crying at the gym/ Everything comes out teenage petulance.”
And both little monsters and Swifties were all about the nod.

In her TikTok, Gaga also urged viewers “register to vote at www.headcount.org," which she also echoed in the caption.
And they assured her they were on it.
