John Mayer is showing Lady Gaga major love before her performance at the Oscars on Sunday.
JM took to Twitter late Thursday night to talk about Gaga’s artistry, referencing the flaccid response to her 2013 album ARTPOP. “I know this is going to sound like I’m trying to stir up media,” he started, and well, it’s stirring up media.
I know this is going to sound like I’m trying to stir up media, but I have huge respect for Lady Gaga and I wanna tell you why.

She released a record that didn’t get the love she was probably hoping for, which happens to REAL artists. And she’s stood by it.

There is no desperate attempt to be as successful as before by any means necessary, no Artpop 2.0 with cynically produced hits.

I respect artists who release music they believe in and with a slow steady pulse while doing it, live or die.

So yah. fin. Carry on Gaga. I can dig it. Everyone else should, too.

Awww… this love fest is too much! Gaga thinks it’s “cool.”
Just got out of a great rehearsal! That was really cool @JohnMayer So thoughtful. The respect is mutual. ⚡️
