Lady Gaga responds to Beyoncé's 'Telephone' sequel rumors

We did it, bees. Lady Gaga just released the "Phone" update that fans have been waiting for.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight on May 23 at the premiere of her concert film Gaga: Chromatica Ball , Mother Monster was asked about a possible follow-up to her 2010 duet with Queen Bey. "Whenever Beyoncé calls, I answer the phone," Gaga said, hinting that she would come down to listen to "Call" Part 2.

"Telephone" was released in 2010 as the second single from Gaga's EP "The Fame Monster" and swept the global charts, selling more than 7 million copies in a single year.

The song's music video, starring Gaga and Beyoncé, also swept the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, and NME ranked "Telephone" at No. 17 on its list of the 100 best music videos of all time.

The music video itself is a sequel to Gaga's "Paparazzi" video, in which she was arrested for murdering her boyfriend. In "Telephone," Beyoncé bails Gaga out of jail and the two go on a murder spree together.

At the end of the video, when Gaga and Bey drive away in their "Pussy Wagon" together, the words "To Be Continued" appear on the screen.

A series of incorrect "telephone" theories

Following the announcement of Beyonce's role as Cowboy Carter in February, fans noticed that the car Beyoncé was driving in the trailer for "Poker" was very similar to the yellow pickup truck in "The Call."

During the 2024 Super Bowl, which both Gaga and Bey will be attending, Gaga shared a seemingly cryptic photo of the stadium on Instagram while making a peace sign. Fans then speculated that Gaga's hand sign was actually a "2" and that she was dropping an Easter egg about "Phone" 2.0.

Unfortunately for fans, a series of viral theories turned out to be wrong, and Gaga didn't appear in Cowboy Carter .

Gaga's album update

At the Chromatica Ball film premiere, Gaga also shared an update on her next album, teasing that it would be "completely different" from her previous work.

"I've been working on my new music and I'm really living and breathing it," she told Entertainment Tonight . "I can't wait to get it to the fans." As for a possible release date, she joked, "They hate when I say 'soon,' but soon."
