‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ star Lady Gaga Shuts Down Baseless Pregnancy Rumors in the Most Harley Quinn Fashion
Lady Gaga, the multi-talented singer, songwriter, and actress, has always known how to surprise her audience. Be it with her outfits or performance on stage, she knows how to grab the attention of the crowd. However, the rumor that emerged recently about her possible pregnancy became a topic of discussion around the world.
When the speculations were rising, Gaga kept it casual and didn’t reply, which kept her followers on the edge. However, just when the suspense was at its peak, she came up with an answer in true Harley Quinn style.
Lady Gaga Debunks Her Pregnancy Rumors in a Unique Style
The rumors started when Lady Gaga was seen attending her sister’s wedding in Maine, where she wore a form-fitting black dress, which made many speculate that she was pregnant. This triggered social networks and various media outlets, and they started speculating about the possibility of the singer becoming a mother for the first time.
Lady Gaga shared her reaction to the pregnancy rumors in a fun TikTok video, and as always, she did not take things seriously. In the video, she is seen lip-syncing to an audio that says,
I don’t need to find an aesthetic, I am the aesthetic. I mean, I’m sure there’s somebody out there right now who’s trying to type out all these adjectives to describe me.
Moreover, taking reference from Taylor Swift‘s song Down Bad from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, Gaga captioned the post,
Not pregnant ― just down bad cryin at the gym.
The video quickly went viral and eventually got noticed by Swift, who came in defense of Gaga amid her pregnancy rumors. She commented,
Can we all agree that it’s invasive & irresponsible to comment on a woman’s body. Gaga doesn’t owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman.
The Shallow singer also shared a slightly different video on her X account where she is seen winking, and he captioned the post, “Not Pregnant.” Gaga’s cheeky and witty response shows her confidence and ability to accept her physicality and identity, irrespective of external opinions. Moreover, the way she replied, it appeared like the Harley Quinn character took over during that time.

Speaking of Harley Quinn, Lady Gaga is playing the beloved comic book character in the upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux, and it has been well-received by fans so far. During an interview with Access Hollywood, Gaga mentioned that her portrayal of Harley Quinn will be something that people have never seen before. She said,
You know my version of Harley is mine, and it’s very authentic to this movie and these characters. I’ve never done anything like I’ve done in this movie before, so it’s all going to be completely brand new and really fun.
Margot Robbie, who portrayed Quinn in the Suicide Squad franchise, also expressed her excitement for Gaga’s role in the upcoming Joker movie. She told MTV News,
It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning, all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way like Macbeth or Batman always gets passed from great actor to great actor.
The film is a follow-up to the 2019 movie Joker, and Joaquin Phoenix will return as the Joker. The initial teaser showed the musical version of Folie à Deux, with Quinn confessing her fondness to Arthur Fleck.
With a talented supporting cast that includes Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lotte, Joker: Folie à Deux looks promising to carry forward the legacy set by the first part. The movie is directed by Todd Phillips and written by Phillips and Scott Silver.
