Lady Gaga may actually bring a Beyoncé collaboration in the near future, and may are hopeful.
While celebrating the premiere of her new Gaga Chromatica Ball, the film detailing her concert tour, in Los Angeles, the singer was asked if she indeed would be considering a sequel to “Telephone” following widespread pleas from fans.
“Whenever Beyoncé calls, I’d like to pick up the phone,” she replied in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
The song, which debuted in 2009 on the album The Fame Monster, was able to grab an MTV Video Music Award for Best Collaboration and was even nominated for a Grammy.
Rumors began to be seen online earlier in the year that there would be a sequel after the “Crazy in Love” singer shared a trailer for her album Cowboy Carter in February.
Fans noticed the visuals were very similar to Gaga’s music video, including the intro which featured with a yellow cab through the desert.
As for her upcoming seventh studio album, Gaga shared on Thursday that she’s working on music “all the time,” telling ET, “I truly live and breathe it. … I just can’t wait to give it to the fans.”

Gaga has been hinting at her next chapter for several months, teasing new music in a lengthy Instagram post for her 38th birthday in March. “I feel like my heart is bursting with gratitude for my own health and music. I am writing some of my best music in as long as I can remember,” she wrote. That same month, she shared a photo of herself in her bedroom, sprawled out on a mattress. “Xoxo night night,” she captioned the shot, adding that she was busy “writing lyrics in bed. Sleep tight.”
Fans are anxiously waiting for the upcoming music from Gaga as well, but fans will be watching her stadium tour dubbed The Chromatica Ball in support of her album Chromatica.
During a screening of the film earlier this month, Gaga revealed that she performed five shows while sick with COVID. The tour itself was delayed by two years due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“I shared it with everyone on my team. I said, ‘I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable at work and you don’t have to perform and you don’t have to work that day, but I’m going to do the show,’ because I just didn’t want to let all the fans down,” Gaga said, per The Hollywood Reporter. “And the way that I saw it also is, like, the fans were all putting themselves in harm’s way every day coming to the show.”
Gaga added that she’s particularly proud that the work she did with her sixth studio album has been documented for all to see.
“I felt like the Chromatica Ball was a time where I took myself to the next level and it was something worth documenting and seeing for people that I love — not that I didn’t love my other tours,” she said. “I’m sure we all can relate to that feeling of when you personally feel proud of something is really different from when everyone around you feels that way.”
