Ever since Lady Gaga and Queen Bey released 'Telephone' way back in 2010, fans have been calling for a continuation of the collaboration. Last year, fans began to speculate that we might just have another collaboration on the horizon between the pair - and now Lady Gaga has addressed the rumours in a recent interview.

Rumours of another collab first began to swirl back in February 2024, when Beyoncé shared a teaser video for her country album 'Act II' that drew large similarities to the iconic 'Telephone' video.

What has Lady Gaga said about collaborating with Beyoncé?

In February 2025, Lady Gaga took part in Vanity Fair's lie detector feature. While hooked up to a polygraph, Lady Gaga was asked about the possibility of continuing her 'Telephone' collaboration with Beyoncé.

When questioned: "The music video for the song 'Telephone' said 'to be continued' at the end, will it ever be continued?"

Lady Gaga cautiously replied: "Yes" before admitting she doesn't know when. Then, when asked if it would involve Beyoncé she responded: "Maybe." So, while she hasn't dismissed the idea, no timeframe has been given. You can watch the full interview below.

Last year, while attending the premiere of her concert film, Gaga Chromatica Ball, in LA in May 2024, Lady Gaga was asked about a potential follow-up to her and Beyoncé's 'Telephone', with the singer saying telling Entertainment Tonight: "You know what, whenever Beyoncé calls, I like to pick up the phone".

Neither confirming or denying that another collaboration between the pair could be coming our way, it sounds like Lady Gaga is eager to work with the superstar again.

What clues have Lady Gaga and Beyoncé dropped?

As we all know, Gaga and Beyoncé released a music video which is arguably just as well-known as the track itself. Showing Lady Gaga being released from jail, and picked up in a truck by Beyoncé, the eventful video ends with the pair driving off into the distance - with the words 'To be continued' appearing on screen.

Check out the music video below, as the closing screen is where things get interesting...

During the Super Bowl in February 2024, Beyoncé dropped two country-inspired songs - 'Texas Hold 'Em' and '16 Carriages' - whilst also sharing a teaser video for her then-upcoming album 'Act II'.

On top of other clues, the teaser clip provided fans with what they thought could be the biggest nod yet that another collab with Gaga was on the way - with many noticing the striking similarity between the clip, and the end to the 'Telephone' music video.

Piecing it together for us all, and sharing more details in a now deleted viral post on X, Matt Suber shared four photos, showing stills from the videos, along with an Instagram post by Lady Gaga, taken from the Super Bowl game.

Lady Gaga can be seen holding two fingers up in the V sign, leading many to suggest it means 'Act II', the name of Beyoncé's album.

Of course, the album dropped in March 2024, and although there were no signs of Gaga, that doesn't mean there aren't more clues to suggest we could still expect a 'Telephone' sequel...

Many fans also noticed is that the date Beyoncé revealed the news of her 'Act II' album, just happened to be the same date that Lady Gaga was sent to prison in the 'Telephone' video. 👀

Since the initial rumours, Lady Gaga has now started to release new music, with her next album 'Mayhem' out on 7th March. The singer has now revealed the tracklist, which doesn't feature Beyoncé, so unfortunately for fans it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer for the continuation. But watch this space!

Take a look through Lady Gaga's biggest collaborations:

'Just Dance' with Colby O'Donis

'Just Dance' was Lady Gaga's debut single back in 2008. Co-written with the legend Akon, it only took the duo 10 minutes to write the record, which has ended up becoming one of the best selling singles of all time, with sales reaching 10 million copies.


American singer Colby O'Donis featured on the track, helping the tune reach Number 1 on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100.

'Telephone' with Beyoncé

'Telephone' was released in 2009, after Lady Gaga reissued her debut album under the name, 'The Fame Monster.' The song featured the one and only Beyoncé - two icons in one song, what more can we ask for?


Interestingly, Lady Gaga originally wrote the song for Britney Spears, but ended up recording it herself. And we bet she's glad that she did, as it ended up going to Number 1 in both the UK and the US.

'LoveGame' with Marilyn Manson

'LoveGame' was originally released in 2009 and went straight to Number 1 in the US, and landed at Number 19 in the UK charts. The video was deemed too "sexual" in Australia and was therefore banned from being played pre-watershed (9pm).


In 2012, Lady Gaga re-released the record with American singer/songwriter Marilyn Manson, with the pair merging their gothic-like tones together to create an incredible duet.

'Do What U Want' with Christina Aguilera

'Hey Girl' with Florence Welch

Their first performance of the song was also hailed as one of the best performances of all time, after they performed at the 2020 MTV VMAs wearing masks because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

'Die With A Smile' with Bruno Mars

On 16th August 2024, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars released a surprise collab called 'Die With A Smile'. The song is the duo's first collaboration and Lady Gaga explained how the collab came about, saying: "Bruno and I have a lot of mutual respect for each other and were talking about collaborating. I was finishing up my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day he asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on. It was around midnight when I got there and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making. We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song. Bruno's talent is beyond explanation. His musicianship and vision is next level. There's no one like him."
The track was certified Gold within three months of being released.
In February 2025 the song received the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, giving Lady Gaga her 14 Grammy win and Bruno his 16th.
