Lady Gaga makes political speech about transgender community at the 2025 Grammys

Lady Gaga makes political speech about transgender community at the 2025 Grammys

Lady Gaga spoke out in support of the transgender community while accepting the trophy for best pop duo/group performance at the 67th Grammy Awards on Sunday 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 onstage LA’s Crypto.com Arena.

‘Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love.’

Lady Gaga (born Stefani Germanotta) was referring to President Donald Trump’s sweeping anti-trans executive orders including that the United States will now only recognize two genders – male and female.

The Kamala Harris supporter – who identifies as biSєxual – is widely considered a gay icon having advocated for LGBTQAI rights since the dawn of her career in 2008.

And Gaga wasn’t alone as Shakira thanked her ‘immigrant brothers and sisters’ after winning best latin pop album and Alicia Keys declared ‘DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift’ while accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.

Even Grammys host Trevor Noah joked during his opening monologue: ‘I’m going to enjoy tonight because this may be the last time I get to host anything in this country.’

The honor marked Mother Monster’s 14th Grammy Award and the 39-year-old singer’s (born Peter Hernandez) 16th Grammy Award.

‘This album was so much fun to watch her make,’ the 41-year-old venture capitalist told the mag.

‘She recorded it right down the street from our house, so we could easily walk back and forth from the studio. I spent a lot of time with her, bringing my laptop to work while she was there.

‘What surprised me most was how fast she is. I couldn’t believe how quickly a song would take shape. Within five minutes, 80 percent of the song would have come from nothing.’
