Half the internet is convinced that Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars collaborated on a secret song together. Over the past few months, rumors have circulated online that Gaga, 38, and Bruno, 38, will release a song titled, “Die With a Smile.” The only problem is neither of them has directly addressed the speculation. All they’ve done is teased fans on social media and during interviews, causing a firestorm of rumors to spread.
On Tuesday, August 13, fans noticed that Gaga reacted to Bruno’s recent Instagram post. The “When I Was Your Man” hitmaker shared a video montage of himself in Mexico, and the A Star Is Born actress commented with several black heart emojis and a laughing emoji. Although the comment was short and sweet, fans didn’t waste time in bombarding Gaga with responses.
“SO IS IT REAL?” one wrote, seemingly referring to the rumors of a collab. “Not mother monster in the chat,” another chimed in, referring to the pop singer’s nickname.
That day, Gaga shared an Instagram video of herself playing piano. In the clip, she was wearing a Bruno T-shirt, which many believed was an intentional tease.
“I SEE YOU BRUNO Omg can’t wait,” one fan commented under Gaga’s post. “She made sure we saw the shirt,” another fan speculated. Even MTV’s Instagram account weighed in by pointing out, “WHAT A TEASE,” in a comment.
In June, Bruno discussed the potential of performing with the “Love Game” hitmaker during an interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal. At the time, his and Gaga’s residency shows nearly aligned, but they missed each other by four days.
