Lady Gaga’s “Rain on Me” is here, and Gay Twitter is at war
It’s been less than a week since Lady Gaga released her latest single, Rain on Me, featuring Ariana Grande, and already the song has been streamed over 10.2 million times on Spotify and its accompanying music video has garnered over 53 million views on YouTube.
The bop, which sounds tailor-made for the gay bars, will appear on Lady Gaga’s upcoming sixth studio album Chromatica, out Friday.
Despite being a hit on the charts, the single seems to have fans deeply divided. Some can’t get enough of it. Others are less enthused. And so, we have a feud on Twitter.
While there are the fans who absolutely adore the song…
I think Rain On Me is gonna be my most played song of all time

People who think Rain On Me isn’t excellent honestly disgust me, like you don’t deserve ears if you’re not going to use them properly, bye

Twitter gays calling #RainOnMe “fine” are joyless contrarians who came out as gay but not “GAY, gay” — thank you for your endlessly unsolicited takes on everything popular. I hope this quality about you helps you find a meaningful relationship someday. Xx -Bitter Kindness Punk ?

May 28, 11:37I really don’t see it having much longevity .
I think the GP has Long moved on from pure pop songs , reason why edgier songs have been dominating streaming and iTunes .
But….it’s an amazing song .
I love the lyrics and I love the music video .
Seeing Ariana dancing her heart out was also cute.
It’s predicted to go Number 1 on billboard next week …I wish them the best of luck .
Gaga’s album is also coming out tomorrow , let’s support and stream .??
