Lady Gaga has reignited excitement among fans with her recent confirmation of a sequel to her iconic music video Telephone, originally released in 2010.

Nearly 16 years after the original video left viewers hanging with the tantalising message, ‘To be continued…,’ Lady Gaga has confirmed that the story will continue.

LADY GAGA TALKS ABOUT ‘TELEPHONE’

In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, a lie detector test asked Gaga about the possibility of a Telephone follow-up.

With a mix of excitement and hesitance, she responded affirmatively, saying, “Yes,” when asked if the sequel would happen.

However, she admitted uncertainty about the timeline, stating simply, “I don’t know” when pressed for a release date. The anticipation is palpable as fans eagerly await further details.

One of the most intriguing aspects of this announcement is the potential involvement of Beyoncé, according to People.

LADY GAGA AND BEYONCÉ

When shown a picture of her fellow superstar, Gaga coyly replied, “Maybe.” This left fans speculating about whether the two will reunite for this much-anticipated project.

Beyoncé herself hinted at the continuation last year during her Cowboy Carter teaser at the 2024 Super Bowl. She was seen driving a taxi reminiscent of their original video, according to Vulture.

Gaga’s confirmation has sparked discussions across social media platforms. Many fans have expressed their enthusiasm for a new chapter in the duo’s storied collaboration.

THE TELEPHONE MUSIC VIDEO

The original Telephone music video features Gaga as a fashionable prisoner whom Beyoncé bails out.

Together, they embarked on a wild road trip filled with chaos and mischief. Everything culminated in the cliffhanger ending that fans have been yearning to see resolved.

While details about the sequel remain scarce, Gaga is currently preparing for the release of her eighth studio album titled Mayhem. The album is set to drop on 7 March, according to Billboard.

MAYHEM, THE ALBUM

This album will feature previously released singles like Abracadabra, Disease, and her Grammy-winning collaboration with Bruno Mars.

However, fans do not yet know whether the anticipated Telephone sequel will be part of this album.

The legacy of Telephone has endured over the years, it was not only a commercial success but also a cultural phenomenon. It showcased both artists’ unique styles and powerful voices.

The original song reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.

LADY GAGA’S MUSIC HISTORY

Its catchy hook and vibrant visuals have solidified its place in pop music history. As Lady Gaga teases this exciting development, fans wonder what direction the sequel will take.

Will it maintain the campy aesthetic of its predecessor? Will it delve deeper into the characters’ lives? Only time will tell.

For now, all eyes are on Gaga and Beyoncé as they prepare to potentially reunite for what promises to be an unforgettable continuation of their musical journey together.
