Lady Gaga spoke out in support of the trans community while accepting the trophy for best pop duo/group performance at the 67th Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 2 alongside her Die with a Smile duet partner Bruno Mars.
‘I just want to say tonight, that trans people are not invisible,’ the 38-year-old pop diva said.
‘Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love.’
Gaga was referring to President Donald Trump‘s sweeping anti-trans executive orders including that the United States will now only recognise two genders – male and female.
The Kamala Harris supporter – who identifies as bisexual – is widely considered a gay icon having advocated for LGBTQ+ rights since the dawn of her career in 2008.
Gaga also managed to debut a new song – Abracadabra – when the music video aired during a commercial break on the CBS telecast.
Described as ‘a dance battle between the light and dark sides of Gaga,’ the native New Yorker enlisted 40 dancers and co-directed the video with Parris Goebel and Bethany Vargas.
One of Gaga’s many costumes included ‘an upcycled white cape crafted from vintage wedding dresses.’
The Born This Way singer’s previously released singles Die with a Smile and Disease will also appear on her eighth studio album Mayhem, which drops March 7.
