Lady Gaga Is Taylor Swift’s Latest Admirer

June 5th, 2010 Manny

I know it’s a shocker but it’s true. In a recent interview, Lady  Gaga started dissing Taylor Swift but ended up heaping a genuine praise instead.

Gaga was asked to name a song she is embarrassed to like, her answer was, “That Taylor Swift song? ‘You Belong With Me’? Oh my God! When it comes on the radio, I sing it so loud.” But she clarified that she’s not slamming Taylor’s tune.

Gaga explained that her embarrassment comes mostly from singing it “so freely” and “so loud” whenever she hears it. “It’s very whimsical in a way that I’m not necessarily whimsical every day,” she noted.

Also, she doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with the song at all. “It’s a great song!” she insists. Her final words are, “I didn’t mean that in a bad way, Taylor. I think you’re lovely and beautiful, and I think you’re a great songwriter.”
