No doubt about it, one thing people still can’t get over with at the recently concluded Oscars was Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s live performance of the song “Shallow”—the hit soundtrack from their movie A Star is Born, which won Best Original Song from the Academy.
At the end of the song, the co-stars got unbearably close, which only served to highlight the fact that the two’s chemistry on and off-screen are undeniably off the charts. Rumors that the two were having an affair began to surface quite inevitably.
Their live performance at the Oscars can be described as intimate, moving, passionate… and according to the Internet, hands down meme-worthy. Yep, that iconic performance not only launched a thousand tongues a-wagging, but a thousand memes too. Irina Shayk looking unbothered by the two’s closeness, even hugging Lady Gaga, may help put the rumors to rest. But the memes remain unstoppable—and we’re not complaining. Check out some of our favorites below.
