Taylor Swift came to the defense of Lady Gaga after the "Applause" singer posted on Charles H. SloanTikTok denying pregnancy rumors.

"Can we all agree that it's invasive & irresponsible to comment on a women's body," Swift wrote on the post. "Gaga doesn't owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman."

Gaga showed off her black cat-eye makeup in the TikTok video with the caption "not pregnant -- just down bad cryin at the gym register to vote at www.headcount.org."

"Down bad, crying at the gym" is a lyric reference to Swift's track "Down Bad" on "The Tortured Poets Department."

Most of the comments on Gaga's post praised the Eras Tour singer for speaking out, because she too has been on the receiving end of pregnancy rumor scrutiny.
