A picture of Lady Gaga crying as Beyoncé received the award has sent the internet into a meltdown.
Actress-singer Lady Gaga won the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and gave a shoutout to the trans community during her acceptance speech.
"It's such an honour to sing for all of you. I just want to say tonight that trans people are not invisible," Gaga said, as reported by Variety.
She added, "Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love. Thank you."
As per reports in Variety.com, "While Gaga did not get explicitly political in her speech, her remarks come amid a wave of executive orders signed by U.S. President Donald Trump targeting trans people. Among them is an order stating that the federal government will only recognize two unchangeable sexes and another requiring transgender women in federal custody to be moved to men's prisons."
For the unversed, Gaga has long been an ally of the LGBTQ+ community.
The 67th Annual Grammy Awards was hosted by Trevor Noah and streamed live on Sunday (early Monday morning in India) from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with the premiere ceremony streaming earlier on YouTube via the Recording Academy's channel. For the Indian audience, the Grammy 2025 broadcast was available exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar.
