Soon, Gaga was over the whole thing. She told Howard Stern in 2013, “There’s this thing with some people that I’m a threat to the throne. And I don’t want your fucking throne and no thanks. And I have my own and I don’t actually want a throne at all.”
Later, in her documentary film Gaga: Five Foot Two, the star admitted that she wanted Madonna to ~express~ her grievances to her directly: “I just want Madonna to fucking push me up against the wall and kiss me and tell me I’m a piece of shit.” (This moment lives in my mind rent free).
By the mid-to-late 2010s, however, the feud was over. Gaga applauded Madonna’s 2016 Billboard Women in Music awards speech on Twitter, and in 2019, Madonna tweeted a photo hugging Gaga at the 2019 Oscars with the caption, “Don’t Mess with Italian Girls”. Recently, after announcing her first ever greatest hits tour later this year, Gaga commented on Madonna’s TikTok, simply writing: “We love you M.”
