A million reasons to love her! Lady Gaga came to Ed Sheeran’s defense via Instagram on Tuesday, July 4, one day after he told The Sun that trolls ran him off Twitter.
“What an incredible artist, I love Ed. @teddysphotos deserves all our love and respect like all humans do,” the “Born this Way” songstress, 31, captioned a pic of herself puckering her lips next to the British singer, 26, who has two thumbs up. “I wish all people on the internet would be positive and loving and a part of creating an online community that is kind and empowering, not hateful and mean.”
Taylor Swift’s Celebrity BFFs! The American Horror Story actress continued to stand up for the “Shape of You” singer, telling her fans, who have thrown shade at Sheeran in the past, that there is “no reason to tear down an artist simply because they are on top.” Instead, she encouraged her followers to spread positivity: “Work harder to be kinder everybody. That should be your first duty to humanity,” she wrote. According to Sheeran, some of Gaga’s devotees have been targeting him ever since he revealed to Beats Radio 1 that he hopes to perform at the Super Bowl in the future. The “Poker Face” crooner’s believed that Sheeran’s comments dissed the pop star, who scored the gig this year. “Lady Gaga’s fanbase read an interview in which they assumed I was talking about her and they all f–king hate. So I think Twitter gets on a massive steam roll of assuming things and then you get in the s–t,” he told The Sun in an interview, which was published on Monday, July 3.
